“I’ve always wanted play for Dave. I’ve known him since I was in college," Adams said. "He came and spoke to us at Eastern Washington one season, and I have so much respect for him.” “Yeah … it’s going to be super cool, man,” said Adams, who’s eagerly anticipating playing at McMahon Stadium next season. “I know those fans are very passionate in Cowtown, and they’re used to winning football. And I’m a winner. I’ve always been a winner.
“He made the offence so simple for me to where the point I can play fast and get these guys the ball and let them do the rest.”“I’m about to get on the field after this interview and meet up with coach Baldwin and talk to him for a bit,” Adams said. “I’m excited.” Nonetheless, the Lions decided to move on with Rourke under centre, which paved the way for incoming Lions GM Ryan Rigmaiden to trade Adams to Calgary.“You just have to keep going. And obviously, I’m going to have a little chip on my shoulder when I play those guys and things like that, but it’s all part of the business."
