The BCLionsDen Pawdcast

The Pawdcast return for what we hope will be a season filled with exciting BC Lions and CFL Football, cause we could sure use some these days! BC Lions Co-General Manager and Director of Football Operations, Neil McEvoy joins the show to talk about his 26 year rise to the GM's chair, his philosophy for building a winning football team and more. Brian and Mojo all the things that have happened with the Lions during the pandemic hiatus and take a quick glance at the roster as it stands today.

Episode 147: Jordan Williams and Farhan Lalji What a world we're living in right now with the Covid 19 pandemic. I never thought we would be interviewing the CFL's first overall draft pick and talking about the survival of the CFL in the same episode. However, that's exactly what we're doing in Episode 147, as we welcome the BC Lions newest linebacker Jordan Williams to the show to get his thoughts on the Lions trading up to get him, what type of player Lions fans can expect to see, and the fact that given his choice, he'd rather be a running back. We'll then welcome back TSN's Farhan Lalji to talk about the Lions off-season as well as the challenges that lie ahead for the Canadian Football League. Out of isolation and into your ear buds, welcome to Episode 147, brought to you by http://renfrowfootball.com/ (JR Football) and Metal Rocks.

Episode 146: Randy Ambrosie Well, I finally got around to posting this. Sickness, self-isolation and dealing with Covid 19 ramifications at work delayed it.  Just over two weeks ago I was invited by the BC Lions to their practice facility in Surrey to have a one on one chat with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. He talked about his tour across Canada, CFL 2.0 year two and answers some of your questions. It's an abbreviated episode and I'm flying solo without Mojo, but given our current situation in the sports world I am happy yo bring you 20 minutes or so if CFL talk. Thank you to the BC Lions for the invite to chat with Randy!

The Pawdcast is back to kick off Season 8 of the show and we're coming in hot with Rick Campbell, new head coach of the BC Lions and offensive lineman Justin Renfrow, who helped improve the Lions offensive line last year, and is a pending CFL free agent. We also announce our new sponsorship partnership with Justin and his non profit clothing line, JR Football. Rick Campbell talks about being a kid during the Eskimos dynasty years, building a program from scratch in Ottawa and how excited he is to add the defensive coordinator role to his head coaching title. Justin Renfrow talks candidly about his community involvement and where those values that are instilled in come from. We also chat about the challenges he faced in college, and the Marshawn Lynch snub in the Super Bowl that he was a part of while with the Seattle Seahawks. It's good to be back, Season 8 is going to be great!

DeVone Claybrooks was the first casualty of a 5-13 season on Wednesday, as the Lions announced he had been relieved of his duties. Was he a scapegoat or were there solid reasons for the decision not to bring him back? Ed Hervey hinted there may be, while many fans were not happy with the news. Farhan Lalji was at the Ed Hervey press conference and stops in to offer his thoughts, and after listening to him, you may feel the answer to the above questions lies a little more in the middle than you thought. We also take a look at what lies ahead for the Lions as another off-season of uncertanty begins, with potential new ownership, many areas to address with a new coaching staff again, and the roster needs.

The BC Lions fired offensive line coach Bryan Chiu in hopes of turning things around. The first shot fired by Ed Hervey, with more likely to come at the end of the year.

Randy's Roadtrip touched down in Vancouver, as CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie outlined his vision for CFL 2.0 to BC Lions season ticket holders. Among the things discussed? What would fans think of moving playoff games to Saturdays? How about the Grey Cup, should that be moved from it's traditional Sunday? How many challenges should a team get per game? The Lions also introduced their 2019 coaching staff, and players Bryan Burnham, Will Watson and Claudell Louis stopped by. Oh and some guy named Mike Reilly was in attendance, apparently he's our new quarterback? Ed Hervey talks about the future of Travis Lulay and Solomon Elimimian...and didn't sugar coat it for the fans in attendance. If you missed out on a lottery spot to attend in person, here is the full event for you. Enjoy!

DeVone Claybrooks is the new head coach of the BC Lions and he joins us for our last show of 2018. Honestly, this is one of the most open and awesome interviews we have ever done. Claybrooks personality shines through in this episode, and you get the feeling that the players are going to love playing for the big man. He talks about growing up "Country" in Virginia, his time in the NFL and the coaching legends he's plaid for, including the key to the Tampa Bay's Super Bowl win under Jon Gruden. He also comments on the new football operations cap, and when we can expect an announcement on his new coaching staff. (Hint, it may even be before you listen to this show).

Ed Hervey and the BC Lions saw their season come to an end last week and now the GM heads into his second year on the job without Wally Buono's input and with a ton of questions to be answered this off-season. Who will be the new head coach? What coordinators will they bring in? What about the long list of free agents the Lions have to deal with and how will that process be affected by the pending new CBA? Will the new core include guys like Solomon Elimimian, Manny Arceneaux or Travis Lulay? Or will Hervey put his mark on this team by doing another big roster turnover? How about ownership? Will Davis Braley still be the Lions owner when the 2019 season starts? Brian and Mojo take it from start to finish this week in a season wrap up episode that discusses these issues and a lot more.

They'll have to do that without quarterback Travis Lulay, who suffered a shoulder injury on the first series of last week's victory over Montreal. Thankfully, the defence is thriving , now loading the CFL in sacks and interceptions after the flood gates opened the last two games. Can the Lions build on this momentum? Can the offence start to get hot just like the defence has? Can Jonathan Jennings take hold of the starters job again and run with it? Drew Edwards joins the show to chat about the Ticats.

Dave Campbell, colour analyst for the Eskimos radio broadcast at 630 CHED stops by for an update on the Eskies who will be looking to stay close to the Calgary Stampeders with a win.

Ryan Ballantine of Horsemen Radio and Andrew Hoskins of the Eskimo Empire take a seat at the table for a CFL Roundtable session.

Wallowing in a three game slump and heading into their first bye week, Brian and Mojo hand out some report cards on the BC Lions so far this season, and talk with Lions radio colour analyst, Giulio Caravatta.

We celebrate our 100th episode with two of the biggest names to ever wear the orange and black of the BC Lions. BC Lions quarterback Travis Lulay joins the show to talk about the feeling of playing again, his relationship with Jonathan and much more. Is coaching in his future? We also catch up with former BC Lions defensive lineman Brent Johnson about his career, his induction into the Lions Wall of Fame, and his journey that took him to Ohio State University, and then the Lions.

BC Lions Kicker/Punter Ty Long joins the show to chat about his experience in the CFL so far and Dave Campbell of 630 CHED in Edmonton updates us on the Eskimos ahead of Friday's big game!
