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

Players move on to other things. The fans never forget.   That 13th man grey cup is still quite a vivid memory for me

and still a mystery who is the 13th man.

Most people believe it was Sean Lucas.  The Riders never confirmed but i'm sure they know who wasn't supposed to be on the field.  The other suspect was Armstead, no need for anyone in endzone to catch kick when the clock has run out.  None the less we ran Kavis out of town. He will be hated forever in Sask

Why don't Mennonite women wear sleeveless dresses?

 

They aren't allowed to bare arms.

What's the difference between a Mennonite and a Lutheran?

 

A Lutheran will say hello at a liquor store.

 

How do you recognize the Mennonite?

 

He's the one dressed like a Lutheran!

You know what... falling on the sword for that mistake might be the only honorable thing Kavis has done in his CFL career... it's far more likely it was a player's fault than the coaches fault...

Cfl on tsn has some awful music...

You sure do need someone to recover that ball if it is missed and in play.

Precisely. 

OL Justin Senior was cut by KC Chiefs yesterday. Esks holds his rights.

Just look at their roster... they already had a senior's moment.

Greg Ellingson? 

Also LOL at "snootful of firewater"....awesome.

Well, that better go the way the VAST majority of CFL fans want it to go..

It’s not us who should be held in suspense..

 

If he gets suspended, won't he just appeal and have it overturned, like what always happens?  Or has something changed?

How about the time a guy abused an official and got himself suspended for the Grey Cup:

https://www.tsn.ca/ottawa-redblacks-db-jonathan-rose-won-t-be-suspended-for-pushing-official-in-east-final-1.1321181

Yep, all he had to do was appeal it, play in the Grey Cup, and let the league screw the pooch over the offseason and all he gets is a half-game check fine. LOL.  I love the CFL, but in things like this, it really is a joke.

Yup. Greg. I blame it on a brain cramp.

Uhhh is this new news?  I thought he got caught in Ottawa about 6 months ago for impaired driving?

Nope, related to the same charges, CFL just adding their punishment.

I had not heard about this....crazy. Glad the league did something....just to make a point, anyhow.

If Lawrwnce gets suspended the smart thing for him is to not appeal it..bad optics if he does

The sausage in Blumenort is superb.  Always truck back many lbs in my luggage when I come out to Manitoba.

This guy knows what's up. The beef jerky is also top notch.

Vanstone is pissed

I wouldn't want to be Rob Vanstone this year if he is going to speak heresy like this.

I think it’s safe to say no one has ever wanted to be rob vanstone

I don't agree with him ripping on Roosevelt not getting those passes. Every game has guys wide opened where the an misses them.

I do agree with most of the other points. Pulling Harker for Fajardo really killed the rhythm they had and made it very predictable.
