Re: Training camp 2024

When they changed TC practices to more walk throughs than actual hitting and play making, I lost interest in attending as it just seemed more difficult to figure out what was going on. Yes, that's another factor. There are still some padded practices in camp but I don't even try to evaluate line pl...

Re: Horrific kickoff collision has likely ended Hinsberger’s career

It's sad to see the damage that can be done on one play. I wish Hinsperger a full recovery. As someone whose football dreams ended after suffering a neck injury on kickoff coverage in high school, I feel for both players.

Re: Training camp 2024

The change is disappointing in the sense that FanFest at Hillside Stadium has always had a festival atmosphere, even though attendance has dwindled over the years. Why do you suppose that is? I would have expected attendance to increase over time as popularity builds with exposure and engagement (i...

Re: Lions' receivers

I wasn't meaning to suggest the Lions should entertain a veteran presence / back-up receiver like Manny - much rather roll with young talent. And if it's just 6 receivers on the game roster (meaning just one back-up in Harty, or 2 if you include a KR with some receiver ability like Williams), that'...

Re: Training camp 2024

Revamped FanFest format for Kamloops. In the past everything happened up at Hillside Stadium. This year Play With the Pros clinic will go in the morning 9:00 - 11:00 followed by the scrimmage in mid-afternoon 1:00 - 3:15. Then things will adjourn for a street festival in downtown Kamloops starting ...

Re: Lions' receivers

The Lions won’t be able to sign Claypool anytime soon if he decides to come to the CFL. According to Farhan Lalji, Saskatchewan has added him to the Riders’ exclusive negotiation list. He says Claypool is still expected to sign with an NFL team this year. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/saskatchewan-roughrid...

Re: Touchdown Pacific in Victoria 2024

Nice to see the enthusiastic response to ticket sales but I can't se the advantage for the Lions when they could have sold 10,000 more tickets hosting the game at B.C. Place. Willing to let the accountants figure it out though and happy for the people of Vancouver Island. I think supply and demand ...

Re: Lions' receivers

My opinion of Carter stems from watching him at training camp in Kamloops. I had high expectations of him really connecting with Reilly but all I saw was a lazy pantload who seemed disinterested in putting in any more than minimal effort. He spent most of the time during stretching exercises yukkin...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

When I read about the new NFL rule on 3QB, I wondered how it would impact Nathan. Assuming the Pats use their #3 pick on a QB, they will already have 4 QB's in camp. Rourke will have to pass Zappe to #2 spot to dress for a game as I would imagine that the rookie QB will hold the Emerg QB spot.... s...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Surprises me how the line gets drawn and some get paid and some don't. It would be a shame if A.C. Leonard retires because he can't find a team willing to pay him if in fact that is the issue. I can see Edmonton having cap concerns and also feeling as if they can recruit well enough to fill the hol...

Re: Lions' receivers

Cottoy was already at 807 last year and McInnis at 690. I fully expect both to improve on those numbers primarily because they will be in more prominent roles. They ranked 4th and 5th in targets just ahead of Rhymes who missed 8 games. Also I think the gloves might be off for Cottoy as they start u...
