It helps keep prices down when your top 2 are not nearly as good as our top 2
January 17, 20241 yr Author comment_683846 Hodge (for whatever that's even worth...) says they're close to a deal on Cottoy, too....

Drive from Coutts Alberta to Fort Mac in a electric Volvo wagon with bumper stickers that say, "I'm gay, I voted for Trudeau and I'm coming to take your guns away." You may not survive, but you will be infamously remembered. No chance in hell. Not enough super chargers to make that trip in under 40 days!

Looking over their roster at this time of the year they have 7 receivers 6'-3" or taller, including a 6'-8" 225 lb. monster. The Bombers have 2, Alston and BOLO, whos' probably headed out the door.

The most dangerous receiving core when they play indoors, maybe. All that size hasn't done squat for that team when it counts (ex: in the cold at IGF, come playoff time).

January 17, 20241 yr Author comment_683873 Montreal's guy was the only comparable to Schoen/Lawler, and he's gone to the NFL....

They've got Adams again next season so unless they get home field advantage, do you expect them to suddenly tear it up?

Totally disagree. Hatcher is probably out for the season, maybe back in October. Hollins is pretty clearly a third receiver. When Rhymes went out they used McInnis and Cottoy a lot more. Hollins is good not great at getting separation, more of a zone buster playing off others. I think BC will be all over Schoen. I'm not really sure why anyone should care about the 6'8 31 year old receiver who hasn't made a team since D2. If you had a draft of all CFL players, Lawler or Begelton would probably be the first receiver off the board. They are the only two guys with the full route tree and just crazy dangerous with the ball.

I was thinking the same. I've got nothing to back that up other than it just feels like a very Alouettes thing to do. And not everybody will be in for Schoen... My team has FA/Salary issues aplenty without trying for that sort of move.

If Lawler or Schoen were the same size as Hatcher etc they would be in the NFL. 16 hours ago, Fatty Liver said: Totally disagree, the top 2 receivers on either team could be interchangeable, and overall top to bottom the Lions have the league's most dangerous receiving corps IMO.

Oh no...they are big...that must make them the best. BC does not have a receiver that is nearly as dangerous as Lawler/Schoen. They have big receivers that rack up yards because BC refuses to run the ball ever. I'll take Lawler and Schoen thank you very much. Edited January 18, 20241 yr by GCn20

The guy's production is just off the charts. He's only been in the league two years. We need him back. Edited January 18, 20241 yr by GCn20
