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

Riders think it's a genius move. All true if you forget the fact Riders signed the expensive concussion prone guy in the first place.

Just remind them that they already spent 200k on the dude this year.

Imagine what he's going to sound like in 20 years. Stupid indeed.

From Penton’s insiders

Quote

 Number two for Saskatchewan (Micah Johnson) doesn’t have a stat in two weeks. No tackles, and no assists. He looks like a free-agent bust. Out of shape or not motivated after getting a big salary. We heard he got the D-line coach (Mike Scheper) fired over there, but blaming the coach sometimes shows it isn’t the coach’s fault. Look at the film. (Johnson) didn’t make a play against us after they fired the coach.

 

Wait so is Booch one of Penton's Insiders?

Shhhhh dont out me

A lot of Johnsons success was a result of guys around him..and he..or the others freeing each other up...on sask  well Evan's blows..A.C Leonard isnt a top 6 DE in league and Hughes is reaping rewards of Johnson getting teamed and getting stats..but that will dissapear post Labour day when his old body shuts it down for the yr like it has the last 2

I said right from TC that Johnson would be insignificant there once he has to do all the heavy lifting..and at 250k a year that's a nice hamstring around that loser organization's neck..along with Evan's around 200k and the 160 or so Hughes steals from them for a half yrs work

I've tried to be Penton insider but he won't respond to my LinkedIn invites.  He lives here now in the Okanagan...

Well they did get 3 plays for that $200k, so that's pretty good.

Welp, this will be my go-to ammunition for any 'Riders fan that brings up Durant's antics when retiring as a Bomber. Sure, he screwed us out of $70,000 but they paid Collaros $200,000 in 2019 willingly for the following stat line:

1 rush - 7 yards.

Just curious about this $200 000 number. Was that his upfront money or including the first 7weeks of salary too. He still gets paid on the injured list, just doesn’t count against the cap.

They don't know what zest is as soap has yet to enter their universe in Regina...

Speaking of which, man there were some hill-billies at BC Place on Saturday.  One guy was wearing a full on green long underwear with cowboy boots and had a full size watermelon shell covering his whole head, with eye holes and nose holes cut out.  Looked down right creepy.  Every time Sask scored he would stand up and wave a Pilsner flag.  Just yuck.

That's "business casual" in Regina.

So everyone on Sasks Dline sucks yet they are 2nd in sacks? Johnson is useless but yet he warrants a double team? And Hughes falls off when its all on him, despite being the sack leader 3 years in a row between cal/sask and leading again this year? Ok. A lot can be said about the Riders but your pushing it with this "insight".

Was a big name.  Is a gimmick signing by Argos

For one sacks are highly overated and not a true indicator of a "good" line..get back to me when you see points allowed...rushing yards against...yards gained per first down and then digest that back in Sask as I assume that's where your sad lil post originated from

Evan's is useless and doesnt warrant salary he pulls in and anyone can see that.

Johnson has shown he cant do it alone and needs complimentary peices to obtain sexy stats and if you had any football acumen you'd know generally most interior guys get a double team generally..and he got doubled lots in CGY.. and had other guys taking attention away from him

Hughes as usual I bgg getting his fancy stats early on..feasting on horrid Bc and T.O olines...but when games matter and down stretch he disappears and is a non factor...2 years running and I bet this year wont be any different...so maybe sight is hardly a stretch by any means

Hughes has had 1 sack against a quality oline...(Calgary and Ham) and 1 against average Ottawa..the rest piled up against BC and T.O...color me not impressed...a College team would pile sacks up against that garbage
