Re: Lions release Rhymes

Rhymes' release initially surprised me but on further evaluation: Last season Lions had the best receiving corps in the CFL when everyone is healthy. It takes a lot of SMS $ to pay 5 or 6 receivers what they are worth and leaves other player groups under funded, so I am thinking Rhymes is a SMS vict...

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

Don't expect the Lions to enter the bidding for a starting free-agent running back. Co-GM Neil McEvoy says the Lions are banking on Taquan Mizzell blossoming in his second year in the league, and he particularly likes the way Mizzell blocked for Vernon Adams. “I felt that he had a lot of good games...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

If Lions can pull it off re-sign both Hladik and Woods and move Lokombo to Free Safety.

Re: Dane Evans Retires

Interesting that Evans wants to coach. Guys who are backup QBs for most of their career are like coaches in training. Observing from the sidelines and being privy to the play calling is great preparation for coaching. Current prominent examples of backup QB to successful HC in a short period of time...

Dan Ralph of the Canadian Press says he’s heard the Lions have re-signed Terry Williams.
Williams is a decent kick returner and depth 5'9" 170lb WR, but I'd rather see a 200+lb depth RB as a KR.

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

Somewhat ironic that the Jags have declared Lawrence out for the game, after losing Rourke on waivers. If they hadn’t tried to shift him back to PR, they would have had two QB’s that knew the playbook in case one stumbled. Jags took an ill advised gamble and lost. They should have known that there ...

Re: Russell Wilson - Traded (1.5 years later)

The amount of $ that Wilson gets paid and what Denver gave up to get him is for a Russell Wilson in his prime, not the current 35y.o. version who is adequate or even more than adequate, but not top tier.

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

Only 3 games remaining and not much oppourtunity to learn the Offense of a new team. This looks like a "let's see what we got for next year" move by the Patriots and a screw up by the Jags, especially if Lawrence gets ruled out due to concussion for the next game.

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?

I am a retired Occupational First Aid Attendant, having worked for many years for a logging contractor. In B.C. if a logger gets a concussion and no light duty is available, then a minimum 1 week off work is mandatory even if no symptoms are present. This is done to give the brain a chance to "...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Betts is the one name to watch out for with the Lions. For a brief moment I thought Marshall Ferguson was suggesting he may have heard inklings of Als interest in Betts but this sounds more like he's just matching the quality of the player with his home town which even a novice like myself could do...

Re: CFL Coaching & GM Changes for 2024

There will be no changes in BC with the exception of Ryan Phillips getting the added title of Assistant Head Coach. The entire staff that was in place after Benevides replaced Yanowsky when he took leave is returning. https://3downnation.com/2023/12/11/b-c-lions-name-ryan-phillips-assistant-head-co...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

To me it seemed all season that Betts was an on field extension of his rookie line coach (and future Hall of Fame) former DE John Bowman. I don't think Betts wants that relationship to end.
