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

I don’t see the Riders beating the winner of the WSF. I like that we get Calgary right out of the gate and that they don’t get a week to rest up before facing us. 
 

I will say that it seems that any team from the West will have trouble beating the Ticats this year, they’re also the only team in the league we didn’t beat. That’s not something I would’ve predicted at the beginning of the year, and certainly not when Masoli went down.

Even more surprising considering how poor the rest of the East was is that the only Eastern team not to beat us was Ottawa. Thank gawd we didn't find a way to lose to them!

I don't think the Ticats will make it out of the East. I see MOntreal. 

I also see the Bombers in the Grey Cup. 

 

Who will win? Bombers.

Tough times in Ottawa 

But he was under contract? So at the very least the team had to either be sympathetic, or agree that he should leave.

Desjardins mess... hopefully for Ottawa's sake he follows...

If we lose MOS, I'd take Campbell.

first domino to fall for Edm, next will be Maas after the ESF

Ott will be interested in Lapo and Streveller and/or Nichols. That will solve their mess.

I expect Campbell to be Edmonton's next coach. 

Campbell to Edm
OShea to Tor

that is surely bound to happen

Campbell to Edmonton, yes. 

I'm not buying the MOS to TO though. He likes it here. It shows when he talks to people. He likes coaching in front of the big crowd. He's also built something.

Yes, he loves his old organization but it's just shell of it's former self. No one in TO cares, except a handful of die-hards. It's not the same. 

My bet is that he's back. 

I think Hodge May have a point here...

 

 

Desjardins finally showing his true colours as a  GM. Let the organization crumble by not signing key free agents. Campbell wouldn't work with him anymore so he resigns. Players complained about a lack of communication & the way they are being treated. Plus the team cratered.  More like the GM he was in Hamilton & not Ottawa.  The team burns to the ground & he gets rewarded. Bad times in Ottawa.

is masoli the type of qb you really gotta bring in a specific OC to get? I dont think so. First team with a contract paying starting qb money and a starting job for him gets him imo. 

If youre bringing condell and masoli and tasker, youre basically installing that system and need to go out and get the rest of the pieces too. namely the guys to run that blocking scheme. If you have the blocking, any legit cfl starting qb is going to do as well imo.

I dont see the als in the GC. I see them playing hamilton very tightly in the WF. But I dont see that team turning the corner that fast.

This will be the big story of the off season for us. Id also through out that its possible (especially if we lose badly in the WSF) that miller/walters decides to take the team in a new direction. And the hot mess that is TO doesnt attract mos, and he goes to BC.

And Maas maybe ends up in Ottawa... Maybe.

All I want for Christmas is contract extensions for MOS and Walters, and new co-ordinators for 2020.....

Brilliant. He may have been GM in name only as Wally still ran things. Naturally, he got an extension.
