Pre season action 1PM PT

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

Cone of shame?

OK, so the Ticats have the bye this week in the CFL. Now, can we finally have the suspension meted out to Simoni Lawrence for that illegal hit way back on June 13th?

It would coincide nicely with the Bombers visiting Hamilton on the 26th 😁

how is 2001 so long ago that people around here aren't clear on the details??? It was the greatest season of Bombers football in what......the last 30 years? 

League has wanted Kavis turfed for months? Dunk thinks he has a scoop on a story that was hand fed to him that every self professed "insider " like him should have known .

Not a peep out of Penton,  Naylor or Zurkowsky in that time either.

Next time I hear about how "plugged in" they are there will be howls of derisive laughter.

There's been at least one dirty hit a week since then which were met with either shrugs or silence. If the league and media weren't so inconsistent and hypocritical this would have been settled sooner.

Better believe union defenders of Simoni used video evidence of this in the process.

EDIT: Als cut Adekolu, I think he would be a good addition.

No. I'm thinking of a different guy.

Lawrence does not have a significant history, that I am aware, of running afoul with league rules. A long service player. He immediately expressed remorse.

Ambrosie’s poorly timed verbal condemnation of the bargaining units stance in filing the grievance will demonstrate a heavy handed approach to the discipline quantum and process. 

No previous discipline matches that of what was handed to Lawrence. It is unprecedented. 

I can see the arbitrator, not commenting at all and only giving his remedy, or providing reasons as per above and reducing the penalty to a single game. 

He will give the league something because of motherhood safety issues, and will provide relief to Lawrence for being an otherwise good boy that made a mistake. 

But, one would have had to be present to view the parties presentations and get all the juicy details.

No team in the time since is better then that one. Many on the same level but none better imo. We lifted the foot off the throttle soo hard in the last couple weeks and still cruised to 14-4. 

What a surprise, corrupt Quebec based company. Never heard that one before.

✔@TSNDaveNaylor

As is suggested by his taking first team reps at practice today, hearing that @JJ_Jennings10 will start for the Redblacks at @Wpg_BlueBombers on Friday. #CFL #OTT

2 game suspension to dirty Lawrence upheld!!

@3DownNation

Two game suspension for #Ticats LB Simoni Lawrence upheld

So now Lawrence against us. Sweet!

I was honestly hoping they'd give him MORE just as a **** you for trying to appeal something so blatantly dirty and career-threatening (to his former teammate Collaros)

Sheesh! LOL!

#Redblacks have some big injuries to deal with as well. DBs Antoine Pruneau (left hand in a cast) and Jonathan Rose are expected to be out long term, so is WR Seth Coate. #CFL 

Jennings in, these guys out...

Actually, I offer that as a badge of honour that you were willing to admit your error. Do you know how rare it is to own your mistake on social media rather than double down and defend an indefensible position? (Exhibit 1 - this site, exhibit 2 - the current POTUS)

Yeah, I know. Lol! Facts are facts, opinions are opinions. The lines get blurry sometimes.

Wow. I don’t see reasons but a standard for discipline of this nature is now set.. good for the CFL in convincing a third party.

✔@JDunk12

The #CFL is 'pleased' with the arbitrator's decision to uphold the two game suspension for #Ticats LB Simoni Lawrence following a hearing about his 'dangerous and reckless' head shot on #Riders QB Zach Collaros

 

Randy Ambroise and the Bombers are all pleased as well. 😂
