Mr Dee Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 ??Rakeem Cato vs Jonathan Jennings Jim Popp vs Wally Buono OK I've seen enough already. How can we expect help from Montreal when we see a start like that? ??Well, Montreal does have the best Red Zone Defence in the league, and the best tackler in Bear Woods. BC had to try 7 FGs the last time they played, making 5. Of course,,people will counter that BC has the next two best tacklers in Elimimian and Bighill, but they're just quibbling. OK then, Tyrell Sutton is back as the RB and last week produced a season-high 71 yards averaging 7.1 per carry. He has 104 yards on 20 carries since returning from the Injured List. Is that enough? Duron Carter is back. What else? Well, OC Anthony Calvillo is pissed and wants the offence to click better. That echoes what their main pass catcher, Nic Lewis, is saying. Oh yeah, Ronnie Yell is out with an injury, so that should help. Also, BC is concerned with their O-Line, so if Noel Thorp's boys can have themselves a game.... Special teams will be so very important to both teams as well. CFL.ca stats By the Numbers 23% – Red zone conversion rate against Montreal’s defence; the Als are the stoutest red zone defence in the league. 26-9 – BC’s lead in the all-time series between the Lions and Als in Vancouver. Home field advantage? 50.6 – BC kicker Richie Leone’s current average yardage on a punt, tied with Jon Ryan’s all-time CFL record. 74 – League-leading tackles recorded by Montreal linebacker Bear Woods Go Montreal!

lyin' guy Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 O Line is "fixed" now actually with the ousting of Adcock and O'Neill for Johnson and Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Steward is going to make a big difference. I have BC taking this one handily but man it would be nice (sorry LG) if Montreal could do us a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I don't get what's going on with Steward. I thought he was okay at tackle, wouldn't you want to keep developing him there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Looks like the old guard is on the way out, Ray, Glenn, Burris, all about done. If Raheem can play as well as he did the first few games he started, Montreal can win. Lions will hoping it's "not now Cato" Edited September 9, 2016 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggars Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 My "I cheer for the result that is best for the league" hat cant decide which team i want to win. Both fanbases are down, albeit BCs has taken a huge hit the last 4 years and Montreal will recoup once they get a qb, and we are also in tough competition with BC right now for second in the west........TIME FOR A TIE!

Taynted_Fayth Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Gotta cheer for the dirty birds. BC drops to 7-4 and with the bombers whoopin the riders tomorrow, were suddenly in a tie for 2nd. pretty easy who to cheer for if you ask me. However.... If we dont win tomorrow, then I'm convinced we just plain fn suck at home (aside from that hamilton thumping this year) in which case being on the road for the playoffs could be a blessing in disguise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 the answer is always "what's best for the Bombers?" because **** every other fan base of every other team..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggars Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 i would be happy taking a crossover playoff spot and competing with the east to get to the grey cup, might be tough getting past bc or calgary opposed to ottawa or hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a lot easier beating any or all of the teams there than fighting our way through BC and/or Calgary and I do not think we have seen the best of the Eskies yet, either.

Who cares if he's a veteran, he's still awful I don't know, I have a lot of respect for Jovon, not many guys can play defensive back professionally for 9 years. Must be doing something right. ----- Cato looks pretty good but he might get picked soon. Edited September 10, 2016 by Atomic johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
