Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

The Lions have to tighten up on defence. They’ve gone soft and give up too many easy yards and first downs. They’ve allowed an average of over 30 points a game in the second half of the season. Nearly a 1,000 yards in total offence combined in the last two games — never mind the time of possession....

Re: The Last Two Games - What to do?

You gotta win both games. Winnipeg Blue Bombers After an injury to Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback Kevin Glenn in the 4th quarter of the CFL East Division Final on November 18, 2007, Dinwiddie was pressed into action. He made his first CFL start for the Blue Bombers against the Saskatche...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown

Otherwise, you don't need to be a soothsayer to see the Lions finishing second again, winning the semi, and then being crushed on the Manitoba tundra. The way you counter against this is by playing keep away with the ball when you have it on offense, something this offense is not designed to do (th...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

What really concerns me about BC's defense is how soft they are defending stuff out in the flats. I noticed that when I was out in Montreal too. Want to move the ball against them well just let things develop slowly and either run the ball that way or have a receiver slide out there. Guaranteed the...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

For this fan Rourke's reads were astonishingly fast. Then the quick delivery, with excellent accuracy. And his escape instincts are out of this world. A lot like Flutie? Absolutely. Of course the NFL did not like Flutie. Too small, etc. Eventually he got some time there, although it was far from op...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

None gave a rat's @$$ about his CFL season?!?!?!? How did he manage to get calls from 2/3 of NFL teams and workouts with 12 while declining several other workout offers? These teams must have all suddenly found his Ohio tapes collecting dust in the closet if his CFL play was not a factor in making ...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

It looks like Rourke is signing to be on the Jaguars practice roster. Rourke could have signed to be on the practice roster of any NFL team who wanted him for that role. Rourke thought he had a chance to challenge for the backup quarterback position in Jacksonville. But that was not the case. Beath...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

I’ll spare you my shocked face. That said, he could and should one a job somewhere, if there is justice. I would question others assertion that he outplayed Beathard but frankly I’d rather have chosen Rourke in evaluating the two when considering the roster building exercise of building out a roster...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

To Dano's point after your post the NFL is also struggling with QBs who can be top performers and that rule change for 3 is not going to help the CFL in future. Maybe someone needs to track and publish the success rate of those heading south so players can make informed decisions. Rourke will likel...

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023

I think the lesson here is, when you lose the battle in the trenches, you lose the game. And the Lions definitely lost that battle.
