This Tuenei may be a keeper.

This Tuenei may be a keeper.

YES.. ... but please tell me he JUST arrived. I hope he's not been here long - if so, what are those coaches thinking.

Two points:

1. Cone drill seems to have worked well as routes are better, crisper and not usually too short.

2. REC don't at all seem to be strutting tonight as they usually do.

I may be wrong but I think Tuenei was on the PR and was cut a couple weeks ago but brought back due to injuries.

Good for Tuinei, but Glenn's decision to throw the ball on that one was a huge mistake. He has done this several times this season, throwing a lame duck to an area rather than reset for second down. When will he learn, this cost the Lions games in the past, he has to be better than that.

Ernest Jackson is a stud tonight

Ernest Jackson is a stud tonight

He has always been an enigma to me. 6'2 and fast, should be a star for us but has never been able to establish himself for some reason.

Glenn is getting excellent protection all night

4th touchdown of the night !!

If you are right, why am I not surprised!!!?? How can that guy not have better than what we've seen most of the year - ratio stuff aside. I still don't get why we need two kickers one of which is an import.

The first play on 1st and goal with Tim Brown or I think it was Antolin would be far better if it were the bigger FB.

Glenn is making better decisions overall.

It is just Ottawa though who play so slow on offense.

I can't call the TD to Tuenei a good call, he tossed that up for grabs, and not to Tuenei either. Finally got some luck on our side with the TD. That decision making has cost the Lions this season, and Glenn is still making the attempt on 1st down...

[TheLionKing]

In fairmess to Khari Jones, he's cslling a better game.

Agreed, but the Lions OL is actually providing some protection as well. The O is finally not being so predictable without a few to receivers in teh lineup, go figure.

Finally, a good solid performance by the Lions for a blowout....win.

A heck of a lot closer across the viaduct as the hearts are beating at Rogers Arena as opposed to BC Place. A valiant effort by the Canucks to fight back from three 2-goal deficits to force overtime 4-4.

[Toppy Vann]

I think better play calling yes.. All are sharper incl. OL. But what stands out is the crispness and fight in this REC corp - something not seen when this crew was replaced by the stars.

I see PaoPao not in the booth tonight but on the field. Did that make a difference? I think Joe is usually in the booth when I see him on TV?

This has made Glenn better.

Fight in practice Tuesday?? Bighill and OLineman not playing? hmm.
