That was kinda my point originally, as much as their analytics are saying that the changes will add 60 TD per season, that's less than a TD per game (5.185 points per game), but they didn't take into account the number of field goals that won't be scored, so overall scoring will go down. Even more if you take out missed field goal touchdowns as you suggest. I think they are using the increase in TDs as a way to try and justify the changes they wanted to make anyway, but they didn't actually do the math. Sure, 60 TDs sounds impressive, but when you break it down per game, the argument falls apart.

Given what we've seen with Zac, we need to do everything we can to protect him. If Vanderpool could help do it, even if it means not adding woods, or OShea forbid Ayers. How effective Zac will be given that likely he wiil be dumping off the ball at first sign of trouble or relying on a quick passing game ( not his strength) is a question, but cant be worse than the alternative

And a loss

Starting the play clock immediately after the play will burn more game clock. The end of the games won't be as exciting. Only one time out after the three minute warning. Not sure how this will increase scoring?

I swear they keep going into Rescue Heroes territory (IYKYK) https://tvline.com/lists/911-season-9-release-date-cast-trailer-abc/

So fun Collaros stat Bombers have had 6 home games. Collaros has missed 2 (Suspension Week 2 vs BC, Injured Week 9 vs Toronto), been knocked out of 2 (Week 7 vs Calgary, Week 14 vs the Riders) and started and finished the game twice (Week 4 vs Edmonton, Week 11 vs Ottawa). Based on this, I expect Collaros to play this game, get injured again vs Saskatchewan, and then miss the Season Finale vs Montreal.

Then minus a few for the missed field goal touchdowns we will lose

My mistake, that should have been 81 games... 9 teams, 18 games each, divided by 2 because each game is played by 2 teams. So 60 TDs over 81 games is only 0.74 TDs per game, so it's even worse than I thought.

Consulting the players means talking to the PA. Not like everyone gets asked individually.

It just shows why players weren’t consulted. Because you’re getting the opposite opinions from everyone they talk to. If they have interviewed 20 ppl, 10 are ok with it and 10 aren’t.

One thing's for sure I don't think we'll ever see a marketing campaign like this again

Nyquist had a few moments. Perfetti looks faster. Barlow was screaming bust last year but looks to have ability. He’s turning pro so hopefully has a strong year with the more veteran moose squad. I did read he concentrated more on D first last year and being in the right spot so maybe that’s part of it last year.

Auburn actually brought the single wing back for a hot minute 9 or 10 years ago.

Neuf is also turning 37 this year, and the biggest part of the rules won't start until 26—there's very little chance he'll play long enough to see them. One guy caring than others isn't much of a point either.

18 x 4 Missing the three 3-game weeks

I just want your math on 72 games

I thought Barlow looked good. Was in the right places a lot last night.

Well, Bob. Patrick Neufeld isn't upset with the changes & is willing to give them a chance. What say you, Bob? He's not upset he wasn't consulted. about it.

I won the Alberta provincial pee wee championship in 2009 as a coach using the Wing T. I had a talented 12 year old qb. I adapted the playbook from the qb being a spinner to doing RPO which he picked up & read beautifully. There was so much misdirection that we easily racked up 300 yards rushing every game. We were extremely lucky as we had 4 outstanding running backs starting. starters. We struggled the first couple of games going 2-3 But then going undefeated the rest of the way for the regular season, playoffs & championship game.

People are so afraid of change. The league needs to adapt. Evolution is about adaptation.
