The B.C. Lions host the Toronto Argonauts Saturday at B.C. Place, as the Leos look to restart the momentum from their Week 1 win and party at the Dome
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The Lions quarterback may not have thrown a pass over 20 yards against the Elks in Week 1, and his average pass distance is the lowest of any starter in the league, but that was just an adaptation to the game.
“I think this was one of those games where we got up early and just the way they were playing defensively,” said receiver Bryan Burnham. “A lot of off coverage where those deep routes take way longer to develop, and those underneath routes are open. So I think that was just that was just the way that game went.Rourke’s first pass of the day against Edmonton was shovel pass to Lucky Whitehead, who took it nine yards — and nearly more.
“I trust myself to make plays, but the things Lucky does are special,” said Burnham. “You get lucky the ball anywhere … you can give him the a zero yard pass and he could take it the distance.” The Lions still put up 59 points in that game, despite neither Burnham nor Whitehead getting in the end zone, but they aren’t expecting another scoring explosion this week.
“I’d be lying if I said we expect to score that much. We’re obviously not going to every game,” said Burnham. “We know we’re going to be in battles; the CFL, every game is going to be tough. But the expectation is that we handle our business.”Backyard party on Terry Fox Plaza will be roaring starting at 4PM!🦁 Bouncy castles, games & more at Gate F Kids Club!
