Re: Who will be moving on?

Lions have quietly signed Raymond Calais. He was drafted a couple of years ago by Tampa Bay and suited up for the Rams most recently. He is intriuing given he's only 22 and has a ton of talent as a RB and KR specialist. I think he may be one to watch closely in TC next month. https://www.youtube.com...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

First thing, the Lions are not the Cowboys, Packers or Canadiens. As much as you'd love them to have this fabled uniform, they don't. But you could compare them to other classic teams that do update or tweak their uniforms once in a while. I agree if they came out with one that was totally solid, t...

Re: Who will be moving on?

3Down is reporting that BC has agreed to terms with pending FA QB Dominique Davis. I'm not sure what that means. Is that to be Adams backup or to be a #3 short yardage situation type? For sure it means they are moving on from O'Connor or Pipkin or perhaps both. Out of all the options for backups ou...

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

At last. Lots of interest with apparently good offers on the table. Can’t see how he stays if that’s where he ultimately wants to be. No guarantees about your future in a physical sport like football. Lions can at least move ahead with their pending FAs knowing exactly how much money they will have...

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

And yesterday it was Cleveland. https://3downnation.com/2023/01/11/canadian-qb-nathan-rourke-works-out-for-cleveland-browns/ Nathan Rourke's made more stops than a rock band on a concert tour. He's an intelligent, hard worker who is likely getting some good advice on his career. I've read nothing o...

Re: Bryan Burnham retires

I remember watching him in his first game and taking note that he was a very talented receiver.

Burnham has it all; speed, strength, determination, best hands in the biz, and is a great community ambassador.

Re: Who will be moving on?

David, I dearly hope we're wrong about our gut feeling re Burnham, as I came away with the same. Factor in that Bryan will be 33 next season, and suffered more than his share of injuries this season, and likely most importantly---he and his wife have one recently adopted child and two additional fo...

Re: Rourke is back

Rourke will likely be playing in the pocket a lot which is going to present a bit of a challenge to him and the O-line. Look for a number of passes in flat and screen plays.

Re: CFL Awards

Team nominations for the annual CFL Awards are out, and not surprisingly Nathan Rourke was selected by local members of the Football Reporters of Canada as the Lions' nominee for Most Outstanding Player and Most Outstanding Canadian. I was stunned, though, that he wasn't a unanimous selection for e...

Re: Lions at Calgary Sept. 17, 2022

Turnovers were incredibly costly last week and did not allow for the offence to have any consistency. Pass Blocking is going to be very important to let Adams get comfortable in the backfield.
