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

So tell me about Cam Marshall.

He gets the rock for the first time here Sat night.

In a word, overrated. Had injury problems. When healthy, he runs hard... Power-style back...

I think you'll be disappointed.

What happened to Alex Green?  I thought he looked pretty dynamic last year.  Injuries are a concern with Marshall but he is a very good RB when healthy.

Released.  Money thing  but team wanted to go with CDNs at tailback anyway. But team has now lost two  CDNs off depth chart and have no choice.

Irony being Greene and Marshall are pretty similar in style and build.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Marshall play behind a good oline. It's not like our 2014 oline did him any favors yet he managed 1000 combined yards.

Saskatchewan fans seemed to like Cam Marshall but then again it’s Saskatchewan. They were telling me how impressed they were with our indoor plumbing back at the banjo bowl. 

Former Eskimoe WR Bryant Mitchell tore his Achillies in an NFL pre season game tonight. Poor guy, that sucks.

At least he will not starve while recovering. Probably going to earn more on the NFL IR than playing in the CFL.

As soon as management expresses confidence in a HC during an abysmal season, it's only a matter of time that coach is fired. Ed Hervey with the Kiss Of Death...

It’ll be the old “don’t know how we’ll manage without you, but come Monday morning, we’re sure gonna try.” 

Lions trade Coleman for Lemon.

Don't know what Coleman s deal is but he got shipped out of here by laid back nice guy June Jones under mysterious circumstances. Might be uncoachable type.

JFG released...  surprised he hung around this long - good for him

Interesting, helps BC's Dline.

He's had a decent run - wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked up for depth.

that's a shame, always like him... played hard and was a capable receiver, not a play maker per se, but capable... hope he catches on somewhere...

Not over rated imo but nothing fancy. He's a real steady back. A good guy for a team that doesn't need big gains but grind out yards on first down some. 

Better guys available though.

Tough Canadian who can play teams block and rotate in not a bad guy to have around for any team imo.
