I’m okay with Jennings tucking the ball and runn No on those planned options, providing he gets out of bounds or slides. I don’t want to see him taking contact.

Gurn Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Article in todays Vancouver Province on Lions legend Glen Jackson, seems his memory has really taken a turn for the worse over the last few months. He had to retire from his teaching job in April, still works out 5 times a week, says if he doesn't he seizes up, he is working out his mind now to try and slow his deterioration.

spur1 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Looking forward not back as good as Glen was. I think I may be seeing yet another Wally QB find. Lloyd looks like he could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I just found out today that Adam Bighill was a member of the Blue Bombers...that really sucks, the guy is a monster. Since people were asking, there is an article here about why he chose the Bombers. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/05/25/adam-bighill-became-winnipeg-blue-bomber/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was really the case he would still be playing in the NFL. At any rate, he isn't wrong about the experience of playing at BC Place. I personally love the stadium, mostly because my season tickets used to be in the club lounge, but the place is too big for the current fan support. I gave up my tickets this year partially for that reason. The other reason is the time and effort it takes to attend games when the team has mostly played like crap for the past few seasons.

I thought about that too! Then checked out how he did. 1 tackle in 3 games. Not exactly dominating. Didn't they play at a pretty good venue a few years back when they were installing the new retractable dome roof at BC Place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one game while they were in the temporary stadium. It was OK. It was great being outside, but it lacked the amenities and accessibility a permanent stadium would have. Plus, being away from downtown and Skytrain made for a commuting nightmare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I went to the game against the Argos there great experience but coming from the island it was a pain in the ass to make the trip. BC place i can leave the car on the island and bus and walk over and stay downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The BC Lions need to get Chris Rainey more involved in the offense if he is shutdown in the kick and punt return game. Let Jeremiah Johnson return kickoffs and some other guy for punts keep Rainey for offence. See what he can do with a decent amount of touches to work with.

No. Honestly after the way the organization has gone over the past few years, I need a season off. Living where I do, having season tickets is a huge time commitment. You add the mediocre play and lack of fans, it gets very tiring. When I started being a season ticket holder the Lions were averaging 35,000 or so. Last season was maybe 18,000. My bet this year they'll average maybe 15,000. I'll likely still go to 3-4 games, but it feels good right now not to be committed to going to games.

As goalie13 mentioned it was just a temporary stadium. Had a blast at the games but it was a real pain to get to and the facilities sucked. Amazing views though.

Rainey had two td's called back last night on punt returns. How many times is that in the time he has spent in the Leos camp? Far too often, it's like the zebras are looking for something, anything, in games to throw flags. I'm not sure if other returners have this happen, but man, that gets more people out of their seats when someone even looks like they're going to go the distance. The game last night wasn't anything but a pre-season game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur1 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Both backs need more touches. I pray that Jarious lets the backs run loose more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game last night wasn't anything but a pre-season game. The Superbowl was enjoyable because of the lack of penalties called. Were there missed calls? Absolutely, but that happens even if almost everything is called. I agree that the CFL is flag happy, and it always makes me hesitant to cheer for a big TD, especially on special teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will protect the QB more too, and then you get a viable play action. You have to stick with the run though, and really solidify it by the end of the first half.
