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

See nothing Fajardo does is impressive to me. Even a couple of those deep shots he completed against the Als, with better awareness from the db they could easily have been picked. Guy relies on quick hitters and escaping the pocket. His arm isn't good enough for me to really worry about that guy as a passer. Figure he's a one hit wonder for this season and nothing more. 

Agreed. I seem to recall Jennings having quite the season once upon a time. Seems like a distant memory now. I feel the same will come with Fajardo. 

In fairness to Fajardo... he definitely handles pressure and makes much smarter decisions then Jennings ever did.   When Jennings had his big season it was him using his legs to buy time and throwing a bomb to one of his elite receivers who would win most of those 50/50 battles.  

With Fajardo he at least has some pocket presence and composure and can make the smart play.   To me he's much closer to Nichols then to Jennings.   I only question his arm strength and his ability to stretch the field if the short game is taken away from him  (sounds a lot like Nichols).

They just need another import receiver now... not much on that roster

Thanks.  I was trying to post the video,  screwed it up.  Was curious what you guys thought about this garbage play

It is strange about how the media talks about Laurence compared to how they talked about the centre who was considered to be too dirty for the league (name escapes me).  They had a camera isolated on him the entire game.  Whereas Laurence is a leader.

Simoni is a piece of garbage. If these players are truly a "brotherhood" as they profess to be at CBA time then they shouldn't allow this to happen. The league can only do so much with fines and suspensions, they players themselves are the only ones that can stop this type of behaviour.

Brandon Dyson, and he was railroaded. 

Plenty  of guys in the league as dirty that got celebrated.

That about sums it up. Hopefully a suspension is coming up. That's absolutely dirty.

 

No, no, no, they have this wrong. 

At least Davis Sanchez stood up for a Medlock to be higher.

 

Where’s the respect?

Can’t believe Jon Ryan isn’t on there...?!?!  The fix is in!!!

No Ryan? No Lauther? I can already hear the cries from the Gap of fake news.

lol at Castillo higher than Medlock....awesome.

Are they saying highest value legs as in highest paid? Cause that's the only way this makes sense....

Paredes is the best kicker.  Leone is the best punter.  Medlock is the best combo guy.  

Paredes isn’t even on their list?

I would have Medlock over Leone. Leone can boot it but he puts it into the endzone way too often, it seems.

I don't think I'd trade our kicking game for any teams. Medlock just does too many things too well.

Medlock is good

And his salary is probably less than a decent punter and good fg kicker combined..so he brings other benefits to the table...
