JC Abbott

I don’t believe Ford deserves to start this week but BMac confronts an interesting question here. Is there an offensive system to be built around Ford that would be better than trying to tame him in an existing scheme? Right now, it feels like we have the worst of both worlds.

B.C. Lions hit with watermelon shrapnel, bleed out in loss to Riders (& 11 other thoughts) 3downnation.com/2025/07/20/b-c… #CFL #BCLions #RoarAsOne

Post game #FarhanCast following a dominant 33-27 #Riders win over @BCLions. Defense failed to make a play when needed. Rourke also wasn’t good enough:

There is a lot that I disagree with Luke on, but he is absolutely spot on here when it comes to his analysis of CFL offences. Innovation has stagnated. Teams are either unwilling to take risks or can't with the personnel cap. The league desperately needs fresh schematic ideas.

‘I’m not trying to hurt you’: B.C. Lions’ Deontai Williams wants to clear air with Elks’ Arkell Smith after second penalized hit 3downnation.com/2025/07/17/im-… #CFL #BCLions #RoarAsOne #Elks #GoElks #AlwaysEdmonton

The great debate today at #BCLions practice was over who the hardest hitter in the #CFL is. Deontai Williams claimed the belt in his availability, but Micah Awe jumped in on the interview to insist it was his and Williams was only “top 3.” I know how Arkell Smith would vote…
