Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Shiltz is a competent back-up QB who can move the offense and put up some points. He has limitations but is a sound choice as a #2. Cornelius's reputation took a hit last season but it really was a tire fire in Edmonton and I think he tried to do too much (or too much was expected of him). I believe...

Re: Carl Weathers (Jan. 14, 1948 – Feb. 1, 2024)
RIP. Carl was signed to a five-day trial by the Leos on 9/28/71. According to author John Wirtanen in his book, "Thrown To The Lions" (2000), "His sense of humor was infectious and contagious. He had you on the edge of your seat, or in the aisles fighting back tears." "Carl ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Ka'Deem Carey has always been one of my favourite backs to watch. Incredible balance and vision. Very tough to bring down in the open field. But I would think long and hard before bringing in a 31-year old running back (even though he will only have been 2 years removed from a 1,088 yard season and ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
I have the feeling that Edmonton would offer Betts the crazy money ($300K) to go back there.
I do believe he wants to stay in BC from interviews I heard last year, so I am hopeful that $260K-$265K + incentives would get it done.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
I certainly don't mind the Leos expressing interest in Streveler because it drives up the price a bit for the Bombers. :roar: But realistically, I think I would rather put a different experienced (slightly less expensive and lower profile) pivot behind VA given our reluctance to switch QBs. Last thi...

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?
What is it with some football players wanting to be Superman? There is a difference between playing 'hurt' and playing 'injured.' Playing injured is an act of selfishness, in my opinion. Yea, I get it that these guys are passionate, dedicated athletes. But playing injured is being reckless and putti...

Re: Training camp or game in Victoria in 2024?
We're attending, but a little more consultation with season ticket holders would have been preferred ("Hey, this is what we're thinking of doing. Would you be okay with giving up a home game for a game to be played somewhere in BC in 2024?" kind of survey). I am sure most SSHs are fine wit...

Re: Training camp or game in Victoria in 2024?
The club seems both happy and committed to the city of Kamloops with first-rate training camp facilities at TRU and solid community support there. Hard to believe they would pull up stakes. I believe it's 'game.' But which game - regular or preseason - is hard to say. I think it's the latter as it's...

Re: WEST FINAL LEOS BOMBERS POST GAME THOUGHTS
Wanna-b-fanboy, maybe you can help me understand something that has been burning since last Saturday. And it's not sour grapes. Just genuine curiosity as I sat there and watched their dominance. How are the Bombers able to field a veritable all-star team and stay within the CFL's SMS? Sure, some hav...

Re: WEST FINAL LEOS BOMBERS POST GAME THOUGHTS
Given how the first few series went, who would have thought it was our defense that would have made 2nd quarter adjustments to stymie the Bombers and not the offense? I am not taking anything away from Richie Hall the Bomber defense but we made a good defense look even better because it seems that w...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
For what it's worth, and a lot can happen between now and the start of free agency, but it certainly doesn't sound like Mathieu Betts has one foot out the door. To the contrary. Sounds like he really enjoys his time here and values his teammates and the organization. :thup: https://www.youtube.com/w...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers
The Leos have drafted undersized defensive linemen in the last two drafts (Francis Bemiy and Nathan Cherry) for reasons I am not entirely certain. It is imperative that we draft Olinemen in the 2024 draft. The cupboard is rather bare with only Tyler Packer on the PR and I am not sure whether he show...
