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

Drew Edwards furiously writing about how this will kill the CFL yet?

No evidence to suggest Edwards has anything to do with 3downnation anymore or is even employed by local rag. Byline has disappeared for awhile now.

You know that when a guy goes down without contact that it's probably not going to be a fun injury. 

I don't buy the crap about Masoli being one of the star quarterbacks in the league but cripes the QB play is bad enough as is without starters getting hurt. 

Montreal for 1st in the east now? Ain't that some **** eh?

Not in the doom and gloom camp yet.  Evans, I think,  has enough to make that offense work.

What are you guys talking about? Hamilton is so good that they made us look like pure crap WITH THEIR BACKUP QB! I won't be feeling sorry for them any time soon. 

They scored a total of 9 points with that backup QB in for 3 quarters.  It's a bit of a stretch to say that they made us look like crap with him in the game.

Hamilton signs former Rider QB, David Watford. Do we have a barf emoji?

Tabbies beat writer on our local pre-game show Friday mentioned that DE is the webmaster for his paper's (Spectator?) website....so he's definitely doing that, at the very least.

In fairness though, there's no one to pick up out there. Plus Watford can provide some inside info.

Hmmm. Certainly keeping a low profile then.

HAM needed a third arm regardless. Highly doubt HAM sees him as anything more.

Rider fans now shamelessly playing the "we so smart they so dumb" game for shedding Watford.

Please let Watford come in and torch them lol

Bombers losing and Riders winning is just the most God awful thing, and I desperately need a reversal this coming weekend...

My guess is Evans gets 3 or 4 starts to prove himself.

The way 3 Down Nation is begging for money they may not be long for this world.  It would be unfortunate if they couldn't survive on ad revenues but not uncommon.

9 points off something like 4 turnovers....  Our defense was impenetrable against their backup practically

I give the Defense credit, but would be lying to myself if I ignored the flat out horrible throws to open receivers.

Not unless he is driving a tanker truck

Unless Kevin Glenn is resurrected, Evans will get all the time he wants.

What happened to Ricky Lloyd?

Even with all the experience Glenn isnt a better QB than Evans at this point.

Better than Watford though...

Which is why Watford will remain the third arm indefinitely at over half the money Glenn would want.

I said the same thing. I'd snap up free tickets for the kids or a set of cheap tickets in a heart beat. The kids are the ones who will continue to support the club so why not get them there young. And the amount I spend on food and drinks when my kids come is tripled so it's a no brainer for the club IMO.

I know what you mean... I also drink a lot more when I'm just with my kids...

That was a game where we were gifted an unfortunate (for the cats) QB injury. All we had to do was score a few points on offense and the game was ours but for some reason we could not do it. VERY disconcerting that a seasoned veteran QB like Matt Nichols armed with arguably the best collection of talent we have had in years couldn't muster a few more points. That was a golden opportunity wasted. Crap.

I very strongly disagree with this point.
