BC at Edmonton

3 Areas To Watch

Number 2 Pivot: Who Steps Up?

BC - Ricky Lloyd and first-year Leos Austin Apodaca and Cole Sears will handle the quarterback reps in hopes of getting a leg up on sticking behind Reilly on the depth chart. 

Edmonton- Danny O’Brian, Logan Kilgore, Briscoe.

- One big observation in the first week of camp is the depth at receiver. Standouts at the position have included Joey Augustin, Marquis Bundy and Mexican additions Fernando Richarte and Gerardo Alvarez. All CFL clubs are required to keep one global player on their roster beyond training camp.

- Defensive Line: Calling On Another Bookend

With Odell Willis having another strong showing in camp, the big question remains who will line up as the other bookend.

- Linebacker Adam Konar gets to battle some of his own teammates after he was cut loose and quickly picked up by the Lions on day one of camp. He’ll start at MLB

But that’s the point. There was really nothing to gain by winning the challenge and they stood to lose their next challenge if they were wrong. 

Serious or not. Pick your spots.

Clearly, he did.

The Alouettes franchise has been a festering wound since the moment it started up again.  Had some great years on the field but off the field always a mess, losing money.  Will be very interesting to see how this plays out.

I remember when TSN used to brag about sellouts at Molson Stadium. They'd get 20,000 & suddenly the fans there are just the best.  With TSN, it's the same bullshit with the fanbase in Saskatchewan.

I actually thought the league had already taken it over. This doesn't seem like such a huge thing...it's just a transition piece before the new owner takes over...whether it's the Dragon's Den guy or Eric Lapointe's group (my personal preference, for the good of the league...) I think this will work out sooner rather than later...

Well in the Freep today Lapointe is waiting for the league to contact him. Is he buying the team through social media or what?

ALS...eventually Argos....CFL gonna be the new David Braley.

I thought the Lapointe group was under capitalized? Looks like someone pissed off the Dragon's Den Guzzo guy. Have no idea when they want to sell the team they'd give him a hard time unless he was a prick himself to deal with. I also heard Stephen Bronfman want to buy the team. He's also trying to bring MLB back to Montreal so I don't know here the Als would fit in with that. 

Anthony Parker is out for the season with a torn achilles...

As soon as he went down on his own without even getting tackled I figured he was done for the year. Tough break! Hate seeing guys go down like that especially in preseason.

On RF.com, Fajardo is now touted a better QB than Streveler. 😉

Well he does have two career games where he passed for 75 yards. Streveler only has five games where he threw for more than 100 yards.

Argos are owned by MLSE. Its a writeoff for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a career ending injury.

Streveler threw for more TDs than their starter

Tough injury to come back from. 

Not official yet but expect the #Eskimos to announce to release of QB Danny O’Brien. #CFL - Dave Campbell

Guzzo stated in Quebecois media his first move as owner would be to fire all football operations staff.  Probably not the best move in the middle of the season, even if they are low competence.

In other news the Riders have signed QB Danny O'Brien lol

The fact that Danny O’Brien is still in the league at all in 2019 is embarrassing. The guy is frequently the worst guy on the field in preseason games. Truly one of the worst QBs to play in a game in league history.

That's why he's a perfect fit in Regina

 

It sounded too good to be true to begin with...

Gawd help us if a Mexican or global player becomes an above average player.

Roddy will make sure you remember the name and where he is from enough times during a game and the rest of the season so that you will never forget it.....ever...for the rest of your life...and beyond....

Well, he was a major suitor to purchase the Als.  I doubt that outside of 3-4 groups there isn't a lot of interest in buying that team. I'm amazed that there are as many as 4 groups interested. So, to do that to a potential buyer isn't the smartest thing to do. still.

 

Dickenson also said Fajardo has separated himself from the pack behind ZC and is an elite option.

1 point = elite.

Sask headed for a "Tim Burke" era?

Hyping Fajardo. Only in Priderworld.

If there's a God, we drop 50 on those assholes on Thursday night...
