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

Meaning they are only one link in the chain together all the links in the chain are where their strength comes from. So a couple weeks ago they put the links together. When someone makes a good play it’s often because of all the links in that chain worked together.

Now this makes a heck of a lot more sense and unintentionally(?) mocks the shameless bling thing the Riders use and, if they understand??, should quiet the garbage some Rider fans use in their posts.

Fat chance.

good luck with that...even when cold hard facts or actual history hit them square in the face they argue or dispute it...

Actually the chain has a story within the locker room. At the beginning of the year all the defensive plays got one link. Meaning they are only one link in the chain together all the links in the chain are where their strength comes from. So a couple weeks ago they put the links together. When someone makes a good play it’s often because of all the links in that chain worked together. Marcus Sayles explained this on the post game show.

I still think the chain is kinda cheesy... but this is a nice story to go behind it...

If the chain was being used at the beginning of the year ,how come we hadn't seen it until recently....Would have been a nice story to start the year...right now it looks like we are a cheap knock off

The Bomber chain looks like the one Jamarcus Hardrick had  2 years ago for his player profile video they put up on the jumbotron when they highlight a player. He was wearing this big thick chain and did the "junkyard dog" crawl if the offence scored a TD. Maybe it morphed into the "links in a chain" thing, maybe they co-opted the Sask. "Chain of honour" idea and just made up the story to fit it, who knows, but I think the actual chain has been around a while, just going public with it now.

I personally think the chain is stupid. Looks amateur. You don't see any other professional league with stupid crap like that. But that's just my opinion. If it for some reason makes them play better, have at er.

Because it wasn't a chain, it was just the links.

 

And, this is for the players, so they probably don't care what you think.

What a coincidence,  seriously what are the chances that the Riders would introduce a big chain to put around the neck of players who make big plays that the Bombers would later do the same and then claim theyve been doing it all year.  LOL

What are the odds that our chain is cool and yours looks like it belongs in an inbreeder rap video.

Fair ball ..   but I get to make commentary on how I see it and I don't give a rats ass what anyone thinks about my take

Saskatchewan's chain just became more controversial. A bride from My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding show is complaining that the Riders chain was taken from her wedding dress ensemble. She wants it back and has offered the Riders the use of her Bedazzler to make their own.

Cody Fajardo has experienced Regina fan affection- his truck was broken into at his home on Regina and ransacked.

Remember this guy?

 

I wanted the Bombers to draft him. Shame, I feel shame.

I always wonder how certain players would have fared in a different system, different coaches, etc.

I thought he was going to be the next Fantuz. He really didn't pan out at all.

Eh I feel like a lot of high tier prospects bust more then they boom at skill positions. If any thing it  hammers home that having a high volume of picks in rounds 2-4 is worth far more then high picks. 

Also Im not sure hes done just yet, idk if hes been put in a very good position to succeed. 

Edmonton has activated Harris from the 6 game.
