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

And the ripping of a helmet off the head, the swinging of the helmet and the hitting a player in the head with it. 

There were flags thrown for ripping the helmet off in both games. Yes, Adams should have been ejected from the game.for swinging the helmet. Throwing the helmet at Bighill and clipping him on the chin (in the video you can see the helmet rolling in the opposite direction after hitting Bighill). He did not use the helmet to bludgeon a guy on the head.

Only because Adams has terrible aim.

It looks like he tried but failed.

Tried and failed to bludgeon a guy on the head. I think the intent was clearly there.

 " clipping a chin "  and " bludgeoning on a head " are both a part of the same act aren't they  ?

Looks pretty similar to me. Except Adams chose a backhand helmet swing versus an overhead helmet smash. 

 

 

There is actual video evidence of the helmet striking the Steelers player.

Myles Garrett physically looks like he could kill a person easily, using a helmet. He went right off the deep end, for some reason.

You can see how close to the edge some NFL guys play. yikes.

Great to see Loffler planning his comeback, class act and solid performer, his critics can take their opinions regarding his importance to the secondary and shove them in one ear and out the other.  Yes his contribution was eventually replaced at Safety but it took 3/4 of the season to do so, and it was accomplished by Import Brandon Alexander not  by Natl's Jones or Hecht.

Some people do not know when enough is enough. He is on the edge of needing a walker before he is 40.

Well, a walker does have a lot of safety features you know..

Is Brett Maher 3rd rate kick-around in the CFL still  hanging onto an NFL licking job with the Cowboys?

That Freudian slip is probably pretty close to the truth.

That said I remember Maher missing the birth of his child to be at Bomber training camp so I can at least be happy that his dream of playing pro football has been realized.

Maher actually has several 50+ yard fgs for the Cowboys this year, including at least one over 60.

Yeah, he's doing rather well down there:

Quote

[Wiki] On October 13, 2019, in a loss against the New York Jets, Maher became the first kicker in NFL history to have two made field goals of 62 or more yards in a career.^[22] On October 20, 2019, Maher set a new career long and broke his own Cowboys franchise record when he scored a 63-yard field goal against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the game, he converted all four of his extra points and all three of his field goals, earning him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.^[23]

No doubt to go to the NFL. He's been the best back in the league for the past several years and it's a wonder he's not playing down there already.

Dont agree. Im sure he will try and get a deal, but I dont see any NFL team wanting him after the year he just had. 

I could see him in BC, with lapo.

In Ottawa with Lapo? I think Campbell is going to BC, if the Esks job isn't available.
