Some stats from a very satisfying game ... Name CP/AT YDS TD INT J. JACKSON 19/24 340 5 1 I am very happy for Jarious. He is the ultimate good soldier. When he is relaxed and in the rhythm of the game, he is all you could hope for in a QB. RECEIVING Name REC YDS TD LG G. SIMON 7 192 2 76 Geroy explo...

LIONS WITH 4 QUARTERBACKS TODAY --- RATINGS FROM TUESDAY PRACTICE 1. Buck Pierce - tossed one long bomb over the head of a receiver, had one catchable pass dropped but struck 4 beautiful passes in a row or was it 5 - right on the money. Threw the ball with a ton of zip on it and was as accurate as ...

Devastating. And shocking. Only 69 years of age. A great loss for all Canadians and football fans everywhere. My condolences to his family. We have lost a great football man and a great Canadian. A local boy with no pretensions. Who else would not mind being known as "The Waterboy," and se...

I agree on the starters with the possible exception of Dennis or Goodwell ahead of Pottinger. The Lions need both Dennis and Goodwell on defence because of their lack of depth at linebacker. Strong linebacker play is the key to controlling Calgary's running game, which features a lot of play action...

I say Stith over Plante Lorne Plante is a non-import, whereas Walter Stith is an import. Stith will just suit up and play if Murphy or Jiminez have to run off to the nursery. Stith is taking the place of Amariah Farrow, an import O tackle we had on the Practice Roster for 2 years. Does the 4 "...

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 Here is how I see the roster at this time. LT Murphy LG Bates C Reid RG Haji-Rasouli RT Jimenez WR Rodgers SB Simon QB Pierce FB Greene RB Smith SB Clermont WR Jackson Backups: Valli, Plante, Coleman, Jackson, Champion, Bwenge, Lumbala, Anderson, Nicolson 12 starters on O, plu...

I know the media is saying that Parcells likes the big guys, but look at two of his RBs from his Giants days: Joe Morris and Dave Meggett. Parcells has always been willing to find a spot for the right little guy. He also had Richie Anderson as his FB, and he was only RB sized. He likes Terry Glenn ...

Matt Dunigan has proudly pointed out that both Joe Smith and Zac Champion are from his alma mater, Louisiana Tech. It seems that at some point Zac was on the NFL's radar (Look at the scouting report below). I wonder how and why he slid in their estimation, allowing the Lions to get him on their rost...

Great hear from you again WCJ…You've been too quiet lately. Let's hope that Coleman will have a great outing tonight and show us something we have not seen in a long time in BC, a wide out with deceptive speed, with great vertical leaping potential. As you say it should have been our most important...

The Lions brought in a number of import receivers for Training Camp. Although they have shown athleticism and talent, it has not looked like the next Mervyn Fernandez or Geroy Simon is in the group. Not a lot of size, and no apparently game-breaking speed. For myself, having seen wide receiver as on...

Hi Jason I'm glad this has been resolved, and that you have been exonerated. You have been a most valuable member of the Lions, and one can only imagine how difficult this slow process must have been for you. I am also glad that you can finally give your side of the events. I was unaware of your leg...

There are going to be some changes, and there are going to be some casualties. IMHO ... Vigneault is gone, and probably his assistants too. Nonis will be lucky to survive. The scouting department will be lucky to survive. Naslund is probably gone. Not even sure if he could be brought back at reduced...

I expect Wally will continue to work well with the SMS. The institution of the SMS has given Wally one more advantage relative to his coaching colleagues. His approach keeps his team in good condition financially. Of course the concern is the high level of talent on the team, and the natural desire ...

Good news. Glover is a very skilled defender. Part of Lockdown U.

With that said, a victory against the Oilers and the Canucks/Flames contest could well become the showdown for the final playoff spot, that would be a ratings winner for CBC. As Yogi Berra would say, "It ain't over 'til it's over." But, whether the Nucks make the playoffs or not, I am won...
