Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Expecting this offence to change to feature more of and a diverse run game is iffy, IMO.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Fairly big trade with Ceresna going to the Argos for Gittens Jr. Possible fallout from the Chad Kelly deal with maybe some input from Bethel Thompson. Potentially curbs an appetite the Elks may have had for Jevon Cottoy. Also says someone is not returning from the Argo D line. Stay tuned. Jones wen...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The Lions would be well served to have lots of TC competition IMO to find a real good starting RB; they should also think of a RB by commitee approach and have 2 capable ball carrying RBs with different styles - a thunder & lightening approach like with Philpot & Millington. Makes zero sense...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

No disrespect but thinking the Lions go younger unless there is something about Kienan LaFrance beyond his on field performance that they like. Albert Awachie is one FA that would be a good replacement imo. Size and athletic ability being his main attributes. He even looked good on a couple of pass...

Re: Coach Phil - Don't Knock the CFL....featuring Vernon Adams

Wow! - props to this guy for speaking out like that; need more of them up here (sadly - in our own country) to stand-up to the haters and NFL fan-boy types who feel need to mock or put-down or disrespect the CFL and Canadian football !

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I wonder if there's been a 3 Down story or some other article on the success of CFL players who are on teams here getting off season tryouts in the NFL window and actually making the team? How many actually end up out of the game and unlike say a Chris Streveler don't make money. It takes a special...

Re: Dane Evans Retires

Good for him for knowing what he wants and going for it. Given the state of quarterbacking around the league, he likely could have gotten a decent incentive-based contract with a great chance of winning a starter job. It is definitely a loss for the league. Best wishes to Dane in the future - maybe...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Found the JC Abbott story OV40 was trying to find. 3 Down Nation doesn't seem to have a way to find all authored stories by Abbott but I saw a link to all his stories on X which is here: https://3downnation.com/author/jcabbott/page/3/ Rip up your ballots: seven CFL award nominees voters got wrong B...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I appreciate & follow Abbott's efforts to track Canadian players who might become CFL (or NFL for that matter) prospects; and he has good knowledge of Canadians getting to play US college ball; he has also been quite dismissive of top U Sports talent when talking CFL potential; - the Betts slig...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Abbott often doesn't know what he's talking about; Betts was amongst tackle leaders for CFL D-linemen, and yep has a great motor and often tracks down ball carriers from behind; if Betts had a resume from a big Div I program, Abbott would be way more approving. Don't recall Betts having another NFL...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

BC Fan, while I don't know the football acumen of Bernd Buchmasser and his ability to prognosticate accurately, his view is no doubt typical of the views of undrafted NFL college QBs and those who are dismissive of CFL experience as relevant to the NFL game. Size does matter to the NFL and it's lik...

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?

There's a whole whack of young or rookie QBs (new record) who have got to play or start in the NFL this season; and some of them have had very good success (like that undrafted Bengals starter last game); and some have not. A lot of them have quite lesser QB resumes than Rourke IMO. I'll believe it...
