Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

The decision to award CFL teams that play the most Canadians (on O & D) is interesting, and IMO a good touch for the draft. The weaker teams still get rewarded with basic draft position, but that's a nice bonus for teams that care about Canadian talent. A number of the top 20 CFL Scouting Burea...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Farhab seemed to think Hladik would sign with the Riders. Will they have any money left with the amount they have spent the past couple of days. Could the Ti-Cats be now looking at Hladik to replace Thurman while they try to land Betts too? Ti-Cats traded for Jordan Williams to replace Thurman. I t...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Taylor Cornelius released today by the Elks. Could he be of interest to the Lions to back-up VA with the opportunity to develop his passing game further working under OC Jordan Maksymic? Could also be our short yardage specialist which he did until the end of the season in Edmonton. Elks also relea...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

The Leos have drafted undersized defensive linemen in the last two drafts (Francis Bemiy and Nathan Cherry) for reasons I am not entirely certain. It is imperative that we draft Olinemen in the 2024 draft. The cupboard is rather bare with only Tyler Packer on the PR and I am not sure whether he sho...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The way the Bombers effectively load up on nationals on offence (starting 6 of the required 7) you never know especially with Bailey being an American and turning 31 next year. Although Oliveria is a pending FA and in line for a hefty pay raise to say the least. The Lions extended Cottoy before FA ...

Re: The Last Two Games - What to do?

They are walking into a hornet's nest Friday coming off a devastating loss against a surging Ti-Cats team that still can finish 2nd and dominated BC back in August. All the more reason to not be resting anyone. They need to be battle tested again heading into the post-season — against another back ...

Varga is also another option. He's gotten a couple of reps on defense.

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023

I agree, Bagayogo had great positioning. Montreal went after him ruthlessly and immediately as witnessed by the fact he recorded 3 tackles in his first 3 plays. The Als did move the ball 59 yards on 3 plays exclusively targeting Bagayogo before Fajardo killed the drive with 2 incompletions from the...

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023

End zones: Scary. It was odd that yesterday they were off the turf and I wondered why. Is there a fix that doesn't create more danger there is likely a question they might look at. Lions Defence: Great performance and definitely overcame issues from the Toronto game. Betts is great and yes Brent Jo...

Re: Lions draft

Realize it was a weak draft this year but will any of our picks dress this season. Bemy and Bagayogo should both dress. Bemy can play inside and out. Bagayogo is needed depth at Cornerback. The problem is you guys are loaded on defense with Canadian talent. Maybe instead of having all these back up...

Re: Training camp 2023

Random notes from the second half of the Lions' 30-27 loss to the Riders. - As others noted, it was a bizarre ending as the Lions seemed more interested in evaluating their (ineffective) running game than in winning the game in the final two minutes minutes. With rookie Judd Erickson closing out th...

Re: Who will be moving on?

Lions also should have last year's draft pick LB Ryder Varga - CanWest all-star with the size to play W or MLB; so if they like him, cushions the blow of losing Williams Sure. Let's dump a former 1st overall pick and CFL Most Outstanding Rookie ( 4th NAT in last 30 yeara) and go all in on a 29th ov...

Re: Who will be moving on?

Lions move away from Jordan Williams trading him to the Argos for a first round pick. Williams lost his spot to Hladik last year and the Lions seemed to lose faith in him as the season wore on. Wowzers - though makes sense with Lokombo available for W-OLB and the Lions in need of draft positioning/...
