Hopefully Nathan gets some action during the month of August.

I cant find the audio anymore, but someone in the CFL networks had an interview with him in the days following the final CFL roster cut down, like late July, early August. The gist of the interview questions were if Nathan was relieved that the cut down day had come and gone and he made the roster. Also, if he was going to make the field in a non-QB position. Rourke is usually very diplomatic in interviews but one could almost sense that he was not happy or interested in those questions. That he was here to be QB1. If I can find the audio again, I'll post it.

Looks like he is just on a "Pitch count" to be ready for friday's game. https://www.bclions.com/2021/08/04/reilly-remains-optimis... / Back to Top smc22 General User Member Since: 12/17/2013 Post Count: 66 Status: Offline     RE: Nathan named the primary backup for BC Lions    Posted: 8/4/2021 10:23:08 PM  it's probably in the article posted but i see "reilly hasn't thrown since sunday". news of reilly having an MRI came out today or yesterday .. although i think the MRI was done july 18th, or thereabouts. for those who don't know, reilly is pretty old football-wise. and i think the cancelled 2020 season will be especially harsh on older players. new CFL QB (rourke and shea patterson) used to be so awful in their first starts.. but i think that's changed over the years. american Qb's might actually throw a CFL ball (much bigger) in anticipation of coming to the league and in the off-season. i see seantrel henderson on the suspended list (not sure from what.. some of the suspended players are opt-outs but seantrell just signed this year) for saskatchewan. i'll see if can find any other name NCAA players/recruits from the 2 teams Back to Top smc22 General User Member Since: 12/17/2013 Post Count: 66 Status: Offline     RE: Nathan named the primary backup for BC Lions    Posted: 8/4/2021 10:58:25 PM  hardcore lions fan base doesn't want reilly to start friday night in regina https://www.lionbackers.com/bc_lions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=...

I did not expect Rourke to start and missed most of his first half. It definitely doesn't look like the league is too big for him. His skill set seems to fit perfectly and his arm strength seems to be fine for the CFL. I also think that there is no way Reilly, the starting QB, gets better without a long rest. His arm strength looked terrible. I would expect to see lots of Rourke this season.

They worked on him during the first half and he played the third quarter but his arm kept weakening as the quarter wore on. It sounds like Nathan will be the starter for a while at least. Saw a replay of his first TD. Picture perfect. Whitehead was open about 30 yards downfield and Nathan put it right on target. Whitehead caught it just about in stride and cruised for an easy 75-yd TD. https://www.bclions.com/2021/08/06/canadian-nathan-rourke... / We will get by. We will get by. We will get by.

BC fans were on balance very happy with Nathan :) with a new CFL QB, the ball is different... but more importantly, the game flows differently than american football. unlimited motion at line and receivers can do motion towards the line, timing the snap.. so the play develops completely differently than NCAA/NFL.... and 10 year vets have it down completely cold. like clockwork. Mike Reilly, the Lions starter, is a soap opera unto himself.... no idea why you would not start him but bring him in down 21 early. i don't see the logic. they say they worked on him with massage and he got better with that. so he could go in LOL Milt Stegall, TSN panelist and former Miami(Ohio)/Cincinnati Bengal WR was scathing on BC's decision to bring Reilly into the game. confused on Reilly.... his stat line was really good, but he threw a bunch of wounded ducks.

They really ripped into the decision making, or lack thereof for the fiasco that occurred. The good thing for Nathan is that he seemed to impress people for being thrown into the situation without much preperation. https://www.tsn.ca/CFL/video/should-reilly-have-been-allo...
