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

Montreal twitter guy saying "exciting" player deal imminent. 

Also Riders complaining about Bomber twitter trolling.

Rider fans. Complaining about twitter trolling. Speechless.

I suspect an extension for Adams is imminent.

Trolls complaining about trolls is deliciously ironic.

German dude the Bombers got has taken some reps on defense and even looked half assed decent. 

Yeah.. And this was just the scraps left over in the semi-pro leagues.  Starting next year teams will be able to draft global graduating NCAA players.  That talent pool is growing by the year. 

Major presser at BMO at 11est...

 

Interesting timing on Popp.

Let the new guy come in and get a couple games to decide who is staying and who is leaving. What's interesting about the timing is that it would strongly suggest they have his replacement ready or had to let him go because Popp was going to start unloading assets prior to the deadline in an effort to keep his job.

It just goes to show you that an all star QB can make even the General Manager look good.  Popp was once the wonderkid of the CFL and as soon as AC retired his career to a quick drop off. 

The shine came off quickly but I think he did himself no favours by taking on the coaching duties in Mtl. 

popp found some good players I think. Couldn't name one, but I have the idea that Monteal also had a good defence during Popp's time there.

well, bear woods for one. did he bring Bowman up here? Chip Cox maybe... all good players. and some good receivers, and Montreal had a good O line, and running backs.

can't really do much without a good quarterback.

wonder how Chris Jones is doing in Cleveland?

Based on the way the Niners walked through them yesterday, not so well.

He did, just not in a dogs age. 

Im kind of surprised pinball is again stepping into the argos front office. I always thought more of him as a coach then a scout.

Im betting since pinball isnt the coach and they have established the top half of the regime, they will target MoS as their primary target in the off season.

I really think that if you are gonna go with Masoli, you gotta use a hamilton heavy style of offense. I dont see him doing well in a traditional cfl offense. 

 

Obviously hinting about Osh, and I feel sick to my stomach.......

They can just go ahead and cancel my season tickets if they would even contemplate this.  I don't want to see him back in any capacity next season, never mind giving him a promotion!

please let it be me....

yeah... with Oshea looking like a definite contender for the Argo head coach gig.

we might be left with LaPolice as the our head coach. not sure im gonna be happy with that.

Just don't see him leaving this stable roster to go through what he did here when he first arrived again.

I dont mind plop as a HC. If he could keep his hands off the play call and let an OC do the job hed be fine. But I doubt he could. 

I really think it would be Lapolice. He has a connection with MLSE through TSN.

This would be the equivalent of texting your ex at 2am - nope.
