-DLC- Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 OK, Rourke again...showing so much poise. And I agree, that footwork! It reminds me of how Petey can use a subtle little shift to clear up some room for himself...Rourke is really firing the team up and taking control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4petesake Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Great protection from the o-line giving Rourke tons of time to make his read, finished off with a beauty catch by Rhymes! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Another 300+ yard game for Rourke who went 27 for 33 Well balanced attack. This team could be a monster in the play offs. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bestseller Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Everything is great in leoland but these useless qb sneaks on 2nd and less than a yard are driving me nuts. Make a pass, hand it off, at least give a chance for some extra yards and reduce the risk of rourke getting injured. If it's 3rd down, sneak away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'm a bit curious as to why the back up Qb doesn't get play time in the last few minutes?. I know the cfl and scoring in a few minutes can happen, but yesterday for instance the leos were up by two touch downs, yet Rourke came out for the final possession.

Gurn Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Winnipeg and Calgary playing at 4 pacific, today. Calgary is 2 points back with a game in hand (today) Winnipeg is 4 points up, and will have played 2 more games, after today. Not sure who I want wining, so I'll hope for a tie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question, how many of you thought the game was over in the first quarter going into the second? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has some real star qualities...composure, poise, patience and he's building a lot of confidence. When they scored before the half ended, I had a feeling that was the turning point. Rourke was fired up on the sidelines, urging the guys on and I loved seeing that side of him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receiving core on this team is top two in the CFL too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rourke was fired up on the sidelines, urging the guys on and I loved seeing that side of him. Everything about this kid impresses me. You mentioned last night his footwork on that TD…cool as a cucumber with that half step/slide to avoid the pass rush and still knew exactly where his receiver was! I liked his interview at end of their last game where took ownership and said he had to play better but I couldn’t help thinking maybe don’t be so hard on yourself and enjoy the victory. Then last night’s interview he references that and says he’s got to learn that wins are hard to come by in this league. He is a natural leader who has got the respect of teammates in a remarkably short time. Mosaic Field is a tough place to grab a win so that was very satisfying. I tried to share the All Access from the Lion’s site but don’t have Facebook or Twitter so if anyone has either maybe they could share it here for those that might lurk here occasionally? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was an NFL game, we would be seeing highlites for the next century, well maybe not me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestseller Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'd love to see rollouts incorporated into the game plan. Surely Rourke would be a natural at that. He needs to learn to slide before he gets hit though. He shouldn't be putting himself at risk for a few extra yards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almo89 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 What has impressed me the most with Rourke is that he will go through his reads in the pocket and step up to avoid getting sacked. A lot of young QBs just bail out of there when there's a bit of pressure. The Lions offensive line has a lot to do with that too. They have been giving Rourke tons of time to go through his reads. He's such a pleasure to watch. Can't wait to go to the game against the Elks. I haven't gone to any games since Lulay was the starter. I went to the Winnipeg game this season. Even though we lost and the crowd wasn't huge, there's this buzz and positive vibe at the stadium that I haven't experienced since the days of Casey Printers and Dave Dickenson. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 today's CFL action 0-6 Ottawa versus 3-2 Toronto early in the 1st Ottawa up 3-0; go underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Seahawks have peaked and Russell is gone so I am back into the Lions camp. Roarke is fun to watch but the d-side is also much better. That said I watched the Calgary-Winnipeg game and they were very good. I think the Lions can build thru the season and challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
