I hope & pray that Forde doesn't do our game. Last thing I want to see is him chowing down. But somehow, you just know Rod Black will be there talking about it constantly for the entire game. 

Rod "ABF" Black.

Sad but true. 

I for one hope that they give the Walby burger the coverage it deserves and they don't get distracted by the football game.

The Walby Burger & Winnipeg Women - an elite viewing experience 

Lions line is not 'garbage' anymore...  the glaring weakness is Norman's snapping - even before last game...  Jefferson could have a big game if Reilly bobbles a couple times

BC defence still sucks.  Nichols has to capitalize on this...

We know our front can stop the run and we know Reilly won't be able to move very well...

Is this the first time Eli has been on the roster? If so, I wonder if they're protecting him from being poached?

Looking at that line...  it's still the worst in the league.

Jefferson has been getting consistently better each week and I expect he will be making life miserable for Reilly and company tomorrow night. Add in Nevis, Fatboi Thomas and Tank Richardson in the middle collapsing the pocket and I think Winston Rose and Marcus Sayles will get their opportunities to pad the stats

Well, he is aware of his strengths.....

First time. It's more likely it's because Neufeld isn't able to even practice yet.

Would be a huge disappointment....if we don't rack up points against their D.

I think it's because Speller is injured.

I am really excited to see what he can do. I hope he gets a few reps.

But they haven't one-gamed Speller? That's odd. 

 

And, I thought the scuttlebutt earlier this week around here was that Neufeld was being a team player, hiding on the 6-game? I doubt that's the case if they're putting Eli out there.

hmmm odd

I don't know then. 

Speller will be a game time decision. He never fully came out of the Calgary game, but they're going to be careful with him. I would think that if he misses this week, it won't be a 6-week-er

He's game-time decision. Either he or Eli will be the 1-man reserve. 

I am curious how Eli is coming along. He was out of football for so long but you have to think that 12 weeks of practice should have him back in playing shape by now.

Unfortunately I don't expect we will see him play this tomorrow unless there are a couple injuries.

When Speller got hurt last game and he was trying to test himself on the sidelines, to see if he could get back in, he was working with Eli.  Speller would get into his stance and Eli would rush at him, to test his hammy.  Even though he was working on the other side of an imaginary ball, and it was only a mock rush, he looked to be in good shape.  FWIW.

Or, he has shown very well in practice. No one expected Geoff Gray or Kongbo to start this season , but here we are and they are doing well.

I'm going ,just to partake of that bad boy......

Is there any way all three Jones players can be in the starting lineup? Imagine the confusion for Rod Black, with any luck his head would explode.

If eli dresses he will be in on short yardage..I sure he up to game speed and knows his position requirements now.

Even in camp he showed why he was regarded as one of the top centers in the NCAA..just was a bit rusty and aerobically not where he should be..and also was his first time playing Canadian ball so had to learn the technique for that..
