Makes no sense trading for Kongbo... unless they are going to play NAT heavy D... even then...

Wynn and Wilcots both on the 6 game.

[Pigskin]

Kongbo more than has the talent to be a starter in this league.

I really liked his development. Now that the NFL is behind him, he can focus on the CFL. I think he's going to be a good one.

[Blue In BC]

Wynn and Wilcots both on the 6 game.

Wynn is a DT. TiCats have / had 3 other National DE, 2 DT's and 1 global DL. 13 DL on this list ( IR excluded ) in total before acquiring Kongbo. I only see 9 on the AR though?

Whether he is a DT or DE, he is on the 6 game.

The B.C. Lions have signed Canadian running back Kienan LaFrance, per sources. He was released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders as part of cutdown day across the CFL. Last season, the 32-year-old recorded nine carries for 39 yards, five receptions for 28 yards, and four special teams tackles. The five-foot-ten, 214-pound ball-carrier was selected in the [?]

One great game in the snow, and he's dined out on that for quite a while... good depth guy, for sure, right passport.  But is he a roster changer?

Umm, no. And nobody said he was.

No idea, probably picked him up as a competent ST player, they let Butler walk in F.A. and currently have a single unknown import RB Taquan Mazzel on their roster and another unknown Natl. on their PR.  David Mackie is listed as FB, can't recall if they let him run or not.

Mackie had 19 carries for 94 yards and some receptions as well in 2022. So not the best overall situation for the Lions. LaFrance doesn't really help that part of the game.

The Lions are out of sync. on this one, every other Western team is building killer running games that will be hard to stop come nasty weather, it's not like they don't have the horses to plow anymore.

Maybe to keep him out of our hands?  JA27 looking bad in PS maybe we might have considered another kick at the Kienan?  Is JA > KLF?  Not sure anymore.

Anyhow, forgetting about us, Lions taking KLF makes no sense at all.  He'd be best suited to a team starting a NAT RB.  Like TLB says, maybe just ST-only, and 3rd-string O depth?  But why?  Aren't some of the '22/'23 DPs showing more verve??

I doubt it and in pre season we used so many 2nd string and rookie OL. Augustine had a 4.5 yard average on 65 rushes last year. That's not bad for the back up RB.

Sask. didn't use him much at RB even after both their imports went down, they picked up Shaq Cooper to tide them over.

As for Augustine I have faith he'll shine when the holes open up, he's never been great breaking tackles in the backfield but give him space and he explodes.
