SURREY, B.C. — In the case of Delvin Breaux, B.C. .. Strap on the pad of his first game as. The lion is not a big deal.

The 32-year-old American cornerback was the largest acquisition of a free agent in British Columbia, but his elbow injury led to the team's first match earlier this month. I couldn't participate.

The farewell for the second week helped Blow return to full health. Now I'm looking forward to debuting in black and orange when Lions host the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday.

"It's like riding a bike to me, and it's enough to actually hire a person," he said. "Match time, I have experience there, so I treat it like a regular football game and prepare it the same. I can't wait."

B.C. Defense Group Has already built a close relationship and is rewarded for the way they communicate and interact in the field, Blow said.

The Louisiana State University product states that it is one of the best defense groups he has ever participated in.

"These people, they just want to win," Blow said. "That's the biggest thing. They want to win."

Strong defensive performance is key to the Lions' victory over Argos on Saturday.

Toronto is a team that Blow is accustomed to facing in the four seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

"They have great people. They put them in the right places like Speedy B (Brandon Banks). They put him in a specific place and picked up the ball. I put it in, "he said.

"So we need to focus on the keys and understand where they like the people who make money, just the distance and the distance and what they want to do. And we're ready. "

B.C. (1-0) was ready for the first game of the 2022 campaign.

The newly cast quarterback Nathan Rourke threw 282 yards and three touchdowns and rushed two more times when the Lions torched Edmonton Elks 59-15. I ran.

Lions can't expect to cruise for their next victory this week, Roke said.

"We definitely have to put (week 1) in the rearview mirror and realize that we can reproduce that performance, but this week it has nothing to do with it," he said. Told. "We have to play against Argos this week and make a big step forward. A new team, another team."

Argos (1-0) took Montreal Alouette 20- in the second week of action. I defeated him at 19 and came to Vancouver.

Victory is a win, but Argos knows he needs to perform harder to get results on Saturday, head coach Ryan Dinwoody said.

"Our people are sharp," he said. "They understand that we weren't the best last week. We showed them a flash, but they were far from where they needed to be."

Toronto too , I was able to suppress some weapons against Edmonton in BC. Quarterback McLeod Bethel Thompson said Argos is preparing for what the Lions may still have in the store.

"Obviously, they didn't bring the whole package (in the first week) because they didn't need it," he said. "So we know they have more in the tool belt. Indeed, we are preparing for the extras."
