Re: CFL Regular Season

It seemed like the Riders shot themselves in the foot so many times that they ran out of bullets and as a result they almost won. :shock: There were so many penalties that the penalties on the D did more to extend drives than plays by the players and likewise penalties committed by the O ended lots...

Re: Lions 26 - Eskimos 23, Blog, Post Game Stats and Comment

I would agree with the notion of pulling Lulay for a series or two when he has struggled as he did last game. Just to let him look at it from a different perspective. As for changing the QB? Pffft, last time I looked, the QB cupboard was pretty bare. It's not like we have a Trevor Harris waiting in...

Re: Lions 26 - Eskimos 23, Blog, Post Game Stats and Comment

As for the game itself, that was a tremendous character win. I hoped the Lions would establish Andrew Harris and score early, and they did. What a performance, with 175 yards from scrimmage and two TDs! Harris is worth the price of admission and is the best player on the team, offence or defence, n...

Re: CFL Regular Season

Hamilton remains undefeated in their new park. Argos certainly didn't help themselves tonight racking up over 120 yards in penalties. The coaching job on the Hamilton team and play of all teams started by their ST onside punt for a TD plus Collaros and some great replacement running by Woodson comb...

Re: Drew Willy Questionable To Start for Thursday

Likely high level subterfuge in order to get the Lions to prepare for two quarterbacks. Helped off the field? Ice pack on the knee? Playing 5 days later? Doubt it. DH :cool: After seeing that running performance by Willy (5 carries for 72 yards), maybe it was high level subterfuge of a different ki...

Re: CFL Regular Season

^^^Great analysis Toppy Vann. I agree that Chris Jones shows better than average flexibility in his coaching decisions. Nichols has been somewhat sheltered from criticism, due to his history of catastrophic injuries. I think being pulled was a test for his reaction and the result wasn't good. The Li...

Re: CFL Regular Season

Glenn won't dress for Friday's game vs EDM. Riders are now calling it a "suspected" shoulder injury. http://cjme.com/story/kevin-glenn-miss-fridays-rider-game-edmonton/571418 The Green Zone has confirmed that Glenn's suspected shoulder injury will keep him out of the lineup against the Esk...

Re: Drew Willy Questionable To Start for Thursday

^^^ Agreed. There's a difference between saying a player will dress for a game vs will "start" a game. This reminds me of Buck Pierce hobbling around during the 2011 GC. If Willy actually does start, it's a good indication that O'Shea thinks that our no-blitz D will politely refrain from t...

Re: 2015 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Like the family pack thing. Before Skulsky mentioned it on radio, I didn't even know that even existed. It must be something you have to call 604-589-ROAR to get. Nothing anywhere online (search just brings up old pages about the Global Family Zone previous two seasons.) It's almost as if the Lions...

Re: Drew Willy Questionable To Start for Thursday

Sunseri could be in the mix again much to the chagrin of the majority of Rider fans. He was released in the first set of training camp cuts. He didn't even make it to their 2nd exhibition game before getting the proverbial roadmap and apple. When Durant they brought him back in. Given the Riders' d...

Re: Drew Willy Questionable To Start for Thursday

To me, that's the problem. Last season (and the trend continues this season) Willy was playing hurt until finally the injuries got too much for him. Coaches tend to give players like him too much leeway. Too funny when O'Shea says "we'll see if he can practice". http://www.cbc.ca/news/cana...

Re: CFL Regular Season

Edmonton QB controversy? Looks like Matt Nichols may be on the way out (displaying his displeasure at being pulled is not going to keep him in Chris Jone's good books). http://www.rodpedersen.com/ "Edmonton Eskimo head coach Chris Jones cut down a budding quarterback controversy Monday, but his...

Re: CFL Regular Season

Bombers in a heap of trouble if Willy is out for an extended period. Brohm did not look good in relief. Looks like Willy be continuing to try to play hurt, like he did most of last season. He's only "questionable" for Thursday. http://www.tsn.ca/bombers-qb-willy-questionable-for-tnf-1.336...

Re: CFL Regular Season

One thing I noticed that was interesting during the HAM-SSK telecast was the sideline feature about Ryan Smith's recovery from concussion and his adoption of the Riddell anti-concussion helmet. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/3/28/5547618/riddell-speedflex-helmets-insite-technology I s...
