Re: Aaron Hunt plays his game naturally - Mike Beamish

Johnson might not have the stats but he has been creating huge pressure on the quarterbacks. Johnson is already ahead of his career average in tackles and is only one sack behind last year's pace. Those aren't bad stats. Fair enough, B.C.FAN. I won't challenge you on stats. :wink: Johnson has not b...

Re: Aaron Hunt plays his game naturally - Mike Beamish

Effusive O-line coach Dan Dorazio's scouting report on Lions defensive tackle Aaron Hunt might go something like this: "He's got lots of girth. But it's not a good looking body. It's not what you want." Ha ha. That reference will never go away. Good girth. Et cetera. "A lot of people...

Re: How Much of a Disraction Was Printers...Really??

In regard to 2004 and 2005 ... Dave Dickenson was sensational in his early years while he was healthy. He sliced and diced his way through the league. When he was hurt, Casey got his chance. With a totally different style, very athletic, very intuitive, with lots of improvisation, throwing on the ru...

Re: Who is this Rammer guy?

Good one, Rammer. You and Casey sure know how to get the media attention. :wink: As for the other guys in the picture, Suitor and I might as well not be there. Ha ha. That was a fun day. Lots of media in attendance. After the win over the Argos, an all-time record for Wally, some new players, and th...

Re: Casey Printers a good scout in return to Leos - Mike Beamish

For every action involving “Casey Printers” there is always an equal and opposite two-word reaction “media frenzy” in Vancouver. 24/7 on Pratt & Taylor yesterday. Glen Suitor in attendance at practice today. Parking lot full for the first time all year. Or any year. “This is not a gimmick and w...

Casey with Pratt and Taylor 3:10 pm, Geroy at 4:10 pm

Casey said all the right things. He sounded about as good as a P.R. person could hope. Had his lines down well. He says he is in good shape, not playing shape, of course. He is prepared to be backup, P.R. or whatever the team asks him to do. He and Wally always had a good relationship. He has learne...

Desperation. Sad for the franchise. Giving up young non-import talent for a #4 QB. Gawdawful mismanagement.

Did Buck sustain cracked ribs vs the Argos?

Buck once again took some hellacioius hits in the game against the Argos. Late hit after a pass on his first series. Penalty. Head shot from Moreno on a partial Hook Slide. No penalty. Not sure which hit late in the game affected Buck's ribs. Would not be surprised if his ribs are cracked. Did notic...
