Bigblue204 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 It's interesting to see so many have BC up top. Not sure I understand it. They lost a decent amount of talent on O. Not sure about their defense, but I just don't see them being better than last year. Noeller, Bubba Zanetti and rebusrankin 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc lost fewer players than we did and did a better job, for now. replacing them. ie lost Betts > Robertson Rhymes> Stanback (giving them more balance) Whitehead .> Mcinnis Edward -Cooper > Ciante Evans Baron > Richardson We were neck and neck with them in the standing most of the year, whether we repeat will depend on our recruiting JCon, Noeller and Bigblue204 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Not saying they are any better as a team, but they' ve done a good job of minimizing losses. In comparison we lost Jeffcoat ,Walker, houston, Grey and Bailey which we need to replace with entry level guys. Time will tell. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Jeffcoat is the only real loss. Grey wasn’t a starter. Houston was benched multiple times despite his picks. Walker isn’t really that big of a loss either and Bailey was the 5th receiver. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I've watched Vernon Adams play in Mont......watched him play in B.C. ....I'll be very surprised to see him advance his club to post regular season success this year or anytime in the near future....Highly over rated and is an injury waiting to happen ...In other words the leo's will be waiting a long time for any real post regular season success as long as he's behind centre.....BUT they like him in Van. though Mark H., wbbfan and Noeller 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big drop off. johnzo, Noeller, bigg jay and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 The players above were still starters, and when you introduce new players, especially those without cfl experience there os a learning curve. Luckily enough we have a strong coaching and scouting crew to help with that Regarding Stanback obviously they feel he's an upgrade to what they had,but I agree his best years are done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, plus it doesn't matter who they have in the backfield if they refuse to run the ball. It might balance their offense better on paper, but it doesn't mean much until BC shows they're willing to change their play calling. wbbfan and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I don't see it. I want break down every one of these but don't have the time....so I'll stick with one. Stanback isn't the back he once was. And comparing him to Ryhmes is laughable at best in terms of production. That's ignoring that BC regularly ignores the run game. 15 minutes ago, Pete said: The players above were still starters, and when you introduce new players, especially those without cfl experience there os a learning curve.

Houston likely as well. Maybe not Bailey... Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, though they have even more reason to go with a good pass pro back which Stan field isn’t. Watching Hamilton and bc consistently go after washed backs is soo odd. 1 hour ago, WinnipegGordo said: Dont the Argos have a PR person to rein this guy in? Kelly just cant help himself.

The difference this year with jeffcoat is we get him for 1/3 less of a season. A lot of opportunity to improve from the guys we moved on from. Dl is one of those spots that’s easy to find high quality imps at too. Noeller and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 McInnes had surplanted Whitehead last season and was starting over him. Not an addition really. Stanback's best days are behind him. A healthy Stove is better than Baron but Stove hasn't been healthy since 2021. Lions will be missing Hatcher for most of next year and he was arguably their top WR.

He’d be a flyer at this point far from a projectable starter. rebusrankin, Bigblue204 and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was there last year too no? Stanback doesn’t replace Rhymes, they play different positions. Ciante Evans is maybe a slight upgrade over Edwards-Cooper, if Evans doesn’t decline due to age. Can Stove even play? If he can then yeah, that’s an upgrade. I still don’t see how BC’s off-season does anything to rank them above the Bombers, Montreal or Toronto. On another note, with the GC being played in Vancouver, get ready for it you guys. TSN is going to slobber all over the Lions like nothing we’ve ever seen. rebusrankin, Noeller, JCon and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
