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

Odds of BC getting crossover . I say 3-1. EDM should be worried.

Vaj and Evans both out against BC...  winning streak!!

I'm not saying karma's a ***** but... karma's a *****.

Keep your mouth shut next time, Ciante.

I can hear the cfl media and their power rankings singing the leos praise and booking their birth in the east final already.

Beware teams that get hot late in the year.

I'm not a country music fan but I have to say...well done CFL!

Nor am I.. but to have a true world wide headline type act is a positive any way u slice it

Don't worry, Keith Urban has nothing to do with Country music, so you guys will love it. He's a Pop/Rock artist and one of the best guitarists in the world. He'll be a great half time show...

🤢 Cmon man he is country af. "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16"  "Blue Ain't Your Color", look at his wiki every other sentence is top 100 country chart. Maybe one of the best country guitarist in the world.

Better name quality then weve seen at time, and better then the half time junk weve been subjected to this year. I never watch the half time show at the GC, Id say this is better then usual for star power.

Keith Urban is a huge international star. This is good for the CFL & Grey Cup.

Being on Country radio has little or nothing to do with Country music. 

Anyone named Hank Williams will do.

I was flipping through my dad's vinyl as a teen when I came across Kristofferson and up til that point only knew him as 'the old guy from Blade'

I'm not a country or pop guy but good for the CFL. He has to be better than Shania.

Urban is great... Gonna be a fantastic half time show and I'm stoked we have tix already. Got my game tix and TDMB tix. Hoping to snag entry into the Thursday night Spirit of Edmonton party. Gonna be a fantastic weekend... Here's hoping our boys are there to top it all off. 

MeH....... he ain't exactly gonna attract many new young fans.... and I'm sure the menopausal women who tune in for him don't by many tickets next year either

Watched a big production on Public broadcasting the other day about the roots of country music...I didn't realize Hank Williams was only 29 when he died...Big loss to the country music world then...His song writing and performances (right from the heart) were something else...Tragic end to a great talent

Yup.

Things going from bad to worse for the Esks, as Trevor Harris put on the 6-Game today....

So Saskatchewan will then get to face another backup again for the final two games....  that team has horse shoes.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you ,  the depth charts do show we have faced opponents missing their starters, 

But at what point is the backup no longer the backup?   Otherwise I could ( but again I won't) argue that all but one of our opponents played our backup this year 

Week two Fajardo was our starter, and has been since 

 

Kilgore will have 5 Or 6 starts by the time we see him,  so who knows what he'll be like 

 

Edited September 27, 20196 yr by VoR

Fajardo is the riders starter and has been since they traded Collaros. Killgore will never be the esks starter because they would never ever play him over Harris.
