Mace is a rookie HC with a rookie OC. He wants his HC career to get off to a good start. No way would he start out by entrusting his own job security in a totally unproven talent like Fine, in the most important position on the field, when he has a seasoned proven veteran like Harris. Risking thing...

Obviously it will take a VA injury for Dolegala to get anything more than garbage time reps. Same thing goes for any #2 behind an entrenched starter. Totally agree that barring a VA injury Prukop will be busier. I doubt Dolegala is part of a succession plan. VA is under contract thru 2026. Dolegala...

Not suggesting Jake should supplant VA but he is a solid option if VA has health issues .. God forbid. Harris is probably in his last year which makes me very surprised the Riders did not re-sign Jake or didn’t recruit someone better than Mason Fine who is not a CFL calibre QB. V.A. getting hurt wo...

I agree it is unfortunate Jack Hinspirger was injured on the play and wish him the best in recovery and future endeavors. No doubt it happened fast. That said, I have been enjoying the kickoffs / returns in the UFL. Haven't got a full grasp of the rules yet but it seems to be working well. IMO a goo...

Many are looking forward to seeing Dolegala throw the ball but I personally don't see him getting a lot of game day reps with V.A. being the starter barring injury. Could be more succession planning at this point with Dolegala being only 27 and Adams 31. I believe Dakota Prukop will be the busier of...

No mention of Beau Baldwin being added to the Calgary coaching staff with yesterdays football ops announcement. Could be it wasn't high enough on the pecking order to be mentioned although I thought it was a step in the right direction for Jake Maier when they announced it a few months back. Things...

I was wondering which injury or event pushed the Lions over but can't recall an extended stay on the one game that would have caused the issue. Couldn't find it but thought Dom Rhymes was moved to the six game list which would have made even more space given his contract. Even V.A. was on a team fri...

Can you translate that into layman's English Don? For whatever reason I can't figure out what you're trying to say. I was making reference to the portion of the player compensation package exempt from the SMS. While contract details remain highly guarded information Tim White was one who was said t...

Still appears to be lots of love for Lucky with a nice rant and highlight reel of last season from Dr Phil on the Lions sub forum at CFL.ca. Some kind words from Alexander Hollins as well interviewed at the CFL content shoot in Hamilton. Says he still has the speed. Hopefully he is working out and r...

Sounds like the Lions need do more "marketing" and it would be nice to see the totals in that column to have an objective opinion of the compensation.

With the early Monday game followed by the Saturday, Friday schedule they have the pre season wrapped by the end of May with roughly equal rest for all teams heading into the season opener which was likely the target they set. Tells me that the teams still want to play the games and given the lack o...

TSN announcing they will only be televising two exhibition games including an Elks vs Lions Friday night game. Sheds a little light on the lack of interest when only 2 of 9 games are aired and must have been something agreed upon during the last negotiation for broadcast rights. Hopefully CFL+ will ...

Interesting players perspective on the power rankings with the Lions ranked near the top of each prediction. Bit of a shot from Eugene Lewis whose Elks were consistently in the lower ranks. A couple of direct comments of higher expectations for William Stanback sounded promising. Staying healthy is ...

Mentioning early season play taking time for teams to gel made me wonder if it is a coincidence Winnipeg plays Ottawa twice in the first 5 games.
