Pawdcast Episode 127: Season Wrap Up

Ed Hervey - BC Lions Season Wrap Up

Episode 127: Season Wrap Up

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.

Episode 121: Drew Edwards of the 3DownNation.com

After back to back wins and a win on the road for the first time this season the BC Lions return to BC Place this Saturday to take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

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 leading the CFL in sacks and interceptions after the flood gates opened the last two games.

Can the Lions build on this momentum? Will the offence start to get hot just like the defence has and will Jonathan Jennings take hold of the starters job again and run with it?

Drew Edwards joins the show to chat about the Ticats.

Travis Lulay Re-signs With Lions on Eve of Free Agency

February 12, 2018 By Brian Wawryshyn

Lions fans got a gift on the eve of CFL free agency with the re-signing of Quarterback Travis Lulay. Reports had the two sides talking about a deal, but the holdup appeared to be on Lulay’s end as he decided whether he wanted to continue to play football.

Lulay wanted to play, he just didn’t know if his knee would be up for it. Obviously he has seen enough progress to commit to another year.

The Lions needed this, and it means they go into the season knowing Lulay will be there as a safety net not only on the field, but as a mentor to Jonathan Jennings.

“We saw last season that, when called upon, he can still be one of the very best quarterbacks in our league. He is a tremendous leader and we are very pleased to have him back in 2018.”, Head coach Wally Buono said in a club release.

Entering Tuesday, the Lions could have as many as 14 players about to testing the waters. Reports have the club working on a deal with only one of those players, defensive back Chandler Fenner.

Some key names from last year’s club are on the list, including Ronnie Yell, Kirby Fabien, Craig Roh, Alex Bazzie, Bryant Turner Jr. and Louchiez Purifoy.

Although not officially announced by the team, 3DownNation.com’s Justin Dunk is reporting that free agent defensive back Cauchy Muamba is returning to the West Coast and has signed with the Lions.

Muamba, originally selected by the Lions in the fifth round, 34th overall by B.C. in 2010, spent three seasons with the Lions before stints in Winnipeg and most recently with the Eskimos.

CFL free-agency begins at 9:00am Pacific tomorrow. We’ll have a wrap of the Lions work later in the day and will be following all the action @BCLionsDen on Twitter.

The BC Lions Must Sign Travis Lulay

January 17, 2018 By Brian Wawryshyn

The Quarterback carousel in the CFL has slowed down to a slow spin, with most teams having their starters set in stone. In Toronto, we await word of Ricky Ray’s decision, while who will emerge as the starter in Montreal is anyone’s guess.

That leaves the task of filling in a capable backup, because let’s face it, getting your starter through an 18 game season is no easy task. Without a backup who has CFL experience, you can find yourself in trouble really quick in this league.

Darian Durant is out there, and at this stage of his career will probably have to accept a backup role to keep playing, but it would be shocking to see that happen in BC.

The Lions have the answer right in front of them in Travis Lulay, who showed last season he still has the skill set to not only backup but to be a starter if needed. That’s if he can get healthy of course, and if he decides he wants to keep playing.

Lulay’s value to the Lions goes beyond his potential play on the field. He and Jonathan Jennings have an excellent relationship, and you won’t find a better team guy than number 14. He knows his career is winding down, and he knows his role will likely continue to evolve as a result.

Behind Jennings the Lions have only Alex Ross and Mitchell Gale on the roster. No disrespect to either player, but those two names aren’t going to strike fear into any opposition defence, at least not at this point in their CFL careers. The Lions will no doubt be bringing in a couple more candidates for training camp.

So the question becomes, can the BC Lions afford NOT to sign Travis Lulay? The answer in my eyes is a clear and decisive no. But while Lulay recently said his rehab is going well, he also admitted he is still having internal debates which weigh his health after football against continuing to play the game he loves.

There is also the fact that Lulay has stated he wants to remain in football and possibly get into coaching at some point. With his ties to the community, the respect he has in the locker room and of course his experience, there would be no better place to start that career than with the Lions. You might recall the Lions have already seen one former player, Dave Dickenson, successfully progress in that role with division rival Calgary.

But it’s his value as a mentor to Jennings that trumps all. Jennings recently agreed to a contract restructuring that is more incentive based. Coming off a sub-par year he will be motivated to rebound, and having his friend Travis around to help him do that can go a long way. It’s unlikely Lulay will be ready to compete for the starting job in training camp, but with the addition of new OC Jarious Jackson, both men can be instrumental in getting Jennings right again heading into the 2018 season.

Had he not incurred a season ending injury last year, it’s quite likely Lulay would have gotten some serious interest in some markets come free agency if he got there. It’s a risk to take a chance on a player who has Lulay’s injury history, but his play last season opened a lot of eyes. Because he likely won’t be game ready until the season is underway, his value to the Lions should mean they take the risk and bring him back for at least one more season.

The Lions simply must re-sign Travis Lulay, because the reward far outweighs the risk.
