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...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

It was hard to see on TV, but when I saw VA hanging on to the ball for so long, I got the feeling that the so called best receiver corps in the league couldn't get any separation. We can't hang the 9 sacks all on the Oline. You're right, VA often hung onto the ball long instead of throwing it away ...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

We had Butler. He was a stud both running and pass catching. Why did we move from him? The line has been as issue for years. Both of them. Why we don’t address these things is beyond me. We couldn't afford him. At least not without dropping salary elsewhere (which in hindsight could have been Lucky...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

My worst fears when I watched both (non-contact) injuries have been realized. Just brutal. I wonder if TJ now calls it a career?

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

Why are we not using Cottoy? Can be a tight end for us. Block and go upfield for 8-10 yard gains.

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

The Lions should "spy" Bighill by having a blocker on him on almost every play. No more than the Bombers should spy Lokombo. Really don't see Bighill and his 74 tackles as a threat anymore. More often than not he gets washed out by bigger linemen and, apart from that one play last game wh...

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

We shall see if the Leos' 3 biggest problem areas all season will be our demise for the 2023 season. * Lack of a run game. * Lack of consistent run stop. * Lack of discipline. It's possible that we can pass our way out of trouble so the run game becomes less important. It's possible too that we cont...
