BC Lion Andrew Harris won the offensive and canadian player of the week awards....

if an international is not going to win offensive player everytime, then there should be an international player of the week as well.

Attaway, Andrew.

Strong, fast, elusive, with tremendous, natural escape instincts.

It was a much improved effort on all fronts, but Harris in particular seemed to be a man on a mission, someone who badly wanted to make a difference.

For a long stretch last season, he was not that guy, and it burned. From July 30 to Oct. 25, he came within 27 yards of a 100-yard game on only one occasion. In a particularly frustrating Oct. 4 contest against the Roughriders, Harris gained just 10 yards on six carries.

He took his grievances to the coaches and they seemed to appreciate they were legitimate. The Lions re-committed themselves to the run game with the arrival of Logan, and the relationship started working almost from the start.

Harris finished the season with rushing games of 102 and 93 yards, the latter coming in a 29-25 semifinal playoff loss to the Roughriders.

This is a team guy, with the farthest thing from an attitude problem. The running game was non existent. And it was not his fault. Changes were made. Presto. Same thing was happening this year out of the gate. Yes, we will run. Yes, we will run. And then they forget, in the heat of the game. It will happen again at times. But it seems clear that we know now that we have to establish the run. We have to game plan it. We have to make it work. Adjusting once is not the answer either. Constant adaptations are necessary. Teams will take away what works once.

Harris didn't try and find blockers the way he has started out this season. He just flat out hit the play hard, and then when he was wrapped up, drove for those extra yards, pushing multiple would be tacklers with the pile forward. But it was his pass catching that helped allow those ground yards to be racked up, and it is that multi-dimensional Harris that the Lions need each game. Glad he won both player of the week awards, it was well deserved.

Very well deserved...I never understood the knocks he took for putting on the extra weight...he proved versus SSK that it hasn't hurt his game, and over an 18 game season, it can only help him stay healthy.

E. Arceneaux gave the BC Lions its second straight Offensive player of the week wrestling the title from Andrew Harris.

Harris did hang onto his second straight Canadian player of the week award!

Odell Willis of Esks got the defensive nod and B. Maher of the Redblacks got the Special Teams POW.

What has always bothered me about this Lions organization under Wally who has done a superb job is that it takes fans, players and media harping with them denying problems BEFORE they react.

Also like WCJ says they can and have just plain forgot about the run game. It's always in the back of my mind that next game despite Harris or Logan or Brown or whoever ripping it up, that the Lions might just as easily lose their next game as they failed to get any run game going.

I think the lack of a run game and a failure to repeat plays that worked was mostly on Chapdelaine last season and more a function of Khari Jones getting his feet wet as a new OC to start this season. I look for a steady improvement in game planning and play calling as the season progresses and with 2 wins in a row imo we have already seen the improvements begin.
