  1. Past hour
  2. Luke Schenn describing the Jets and the Blues as two deperate teams. Can you be desperate but confident all at the same time? I'm wondering what the true care/confident factor is in the Jets dressing room outside of the cliche's used by players/coaches for media interviews?
  3. So, attendance is terrible in Edmonton & Toronto. Not so great in Calgary & Ottawa. Only Winnipeg sold out all their games & with our downturn this season, I don't expect that to happen again. Maybe Saskatchewan will lead the league in attendance this coming season. The Commissioner is trying to change things up & is villified by the same fans who won't show up for a CFL game but can't wait for the NFL to start every year.
  4. Glad Sunderland's gone. There was always the chance if Walters had been fired that this shnook would have taken over.
  5. Disagree. There are a shortage of quality American OL now. This has been a problem for a number of years.
  6. Today
  7. Headline: Johnston denies ‘Americanization’ of CFL, provides more clarity on upcoming rule changes Article: Most likely lies about Americanization (the fake shock that people even suggested it is hilarious), and zero additional clarity https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/johnston-denies-americanization-of-cfl-provides-more-clarity-on-upcoming-rule-changes/
  8. O'Shea just found Hogan's landing spot.
  9. That is interesting. Guess that means we will be back in the mix for a front office type this year as well.
  10. https://3downnation.com/2025/12/17/hamilton-tiger-cats-hire-brock-sunderland-from-winnipeg-blue-bombers/ Interesting that it's a lateral move and not a promotion.
  11. Yeah...my take on Kramdi is that he's not a horrible player...but a good multi use rotation guy, and a situational down type guy....but not an every down player at SAM...Maybe safety and definitely not paid in the top tier in the league for DB's....Solid depth and emergency starter guy, and solid rotational depth piece...but not at the premium price he is getting
  12. Kramdi to me is a great depth piece who can rotate in and take some not completely awful reps in a couple positions as a Canadian.... now I am not sure that's worth what they pay him...

  15. So the make up film for Nobody 2?
  16. Hopefully we can do 2 on defence....2 quality who can play...those 5 there as is would allow us to do it and be better than we have been last several yrs Not sure what Canadian DT/DE may be available in FA coming off entry level deals yet, but good chance any we may have a chance at would upgrade JT's spot and further strengthen our defensive rotational depth I cant see Schmeck being ready before labour day...and then even if is, may take a while to regain his form...still would like to see us convert him to oline and use on defence in short yardage situations tho Lost in the Canadian depth is Kelly too....had some blips of mental miscues this past yr, but thats not indicative of what he posses's as pre-injury he was lights out and could become a very good safety and already is a ST ace...and young...allowing us nice options with Woodbey...Alllen...hopefully the resigning of Griffin for the extra DB/Hybrid guy role we like to use
  17. Lawson as a primary rep eater, Bailey, Schmek or another Global/CDN to take some rotation, and have Shay/Smith and Kramdi rotate through the LB core IMO gives us good CDN depth and flexibility on defence. We have Brady and depth so that's 3 of our 7 spots. Presumably we resign Demski, and pick up a FA CDN receiver, I have a feeling KSB is the one who becomes available that fits our needs. With that and Clercios and Corccaron as rotational prices we are looking at 5 of our 7 CDN spots set...We could go as low as two along the On-line, I am fairly confident one will be Wallace, leaving really only a need for one more Neufeld likely.... I actually feel we are really one or two CDN pieces away from having very good CDN starters and depth providing Demski signs .. Caveat being Wallace takes another step and Shay/Smith show that they can start/heavily rotate in and we sign another solid CDN receiver. Time will tell...but honestly I like the offseason signings so far less not confirming Hogan will not be retained.....
  18. Should roll with 2 Cdns on D with a rotation of Lawson, Shay, Smith, Kramdi, with Bailey as a global too.
  19. especially a Canadian University trained QB....never gonna happen
  20. Thing is...we dont really need a Canadian starter at SAM especially when we can getter production with an American...and for cheaper....I agree with your point tho about locking up top Canadians...and ones where they give you more value...at SAM...thats not one Lawson can technically fill the lone Canadian spot we could need on defense if we go RB...2 RECIEVER...3 Oline guys again, tho with Shay and Smith let them take the Will and go a DT with Bailey as a rotate or a new draft pick/Canadian FA and designate 2 on defence...actually use the Nationalized American for his allotted snaps and run 3 Import olineman or 4 import receivers
  21. Available high end American Olinemen who can consistently dominate in the CFL might not be a dime a dozen.
  22. Okay this needs big viewership numbers airing and streaming
  23. Filmed in Manitoba, hits theaters in April
  24. I don't get the format. Six franchises with corresponding mythical curling clubs with no information on where these teams are located. Like, Saskatoon & Winnipeg? Edmonton & Calgary?? Minneapolis & Fargo? New York?? Vegas?? Japan? Norway,?? Zurich, Switzerland?? Are they going to play in tournaments in one place?? Like the XFL & USFL? I just can't see this lasting.
  25. Well, "20-30 times" means up to 30 times a game. No running back today in football carries the ball up to 30 times at the pro level. Maybe the odd game due to circumstances but an OC in the CFL shouldn't be planning that on a regular basis.
  26. Phillip Rivers is probably in the discussion for top 15 QB all time in the NFL and he's familiar with the Colts system, so it somewhat made sense to sign him. The NFL will cycle through the same 4th stringers who have a tiny bit of game experience over giving any new guy a decent shot. With every year a new batch of QB's coming in , it will be near impossible for Elgersma to get any sort of chance to stick with a club. The NFL is a weird league in that way.
  27. Last season he had 11 games with 19+ touches , 5 games with less (including the two games where he was injured) one with 18 and another with 15. 30 might be a bit high, but the 20 number is the average number assuming he doesn't leave the game injured. Tyson Philpot had 61 receptions and 2 carries ... Brady had 61 receptions and 201 carries. Add in the intangibles of having to block and Brady is significantly more impactful then Philpot. It's easy to put an import in at RB when your team is loaded with talented Canadian players elsewhere. This team is razor thin on Canadian talent (outside of Brady/Demski). Dumping the best player in his prime who is Canadian simply to "hope" that you can land a talented Canadian oline/dline guy in free agency would be a terrible idea. Pay Brady, dump a guy like Neufeld who is over the hill and save money by replacing him with an American at a cheaper price. American Olinemen are a dime a dozen.
