Haven't they made the playoffs 20 out 21 years or something? Perpetually rebuilding is a bit of a stretch. Losing guys to the NFL does suck, but it's unavoidable. Compensation won't solve the problem you're talking about and will just result in less americans who are on the brink of the NFL signing up here. It's not like the NFL is begging these guys to come to camp. They'll just wait out CFL contracts or move on to the next player rather than pay for a CFL guy.

Without looking it up....who did the Bombers have as DL coach in 2021? The chances of them not using 2 CND receivers is pretty slim I'd say.

Demski for sure but Clercius? He's been a bit nicked up at times but hasn't missed a game AFAIK?

If starting 8 Canadians elsewhere then yeah that would be an ok scenario. I just don’t want to see them have to trot out jobbers like Corcoran or Cobb to be every down starters, and as much as I like Demski and Clercius the chance of both of them playing 18 games is slim.

So about our oline, what if we went American at C? Ratiowise we could go RB, 2WR, 2 OL, Linebacker, DL and Kramdi (S or linebacker).

via FOTWJ Haydn Fleury will remain in hospital overnight. He suffered a broken nose in addition to other injuries likely another concussion, More tomorrow

The CFL needs tio hire more U Sport coaches who are qualified. They deserve it as much or more than former players who are in good with their head coaches. I'll die on a hill for that statement having seen the committment these guys bring everyday when my son played at SFU.

The overwhelming majority of position coaches in our league are ex-players who retired and had zero coaching experience beforehand. Your complaint is unfounded. Jake's not our DC for cripes sakes. You can count the winning HCs of 4 out of the last 5 Grey Cups among them Osh, Mace, and Dinwiddie all retired and went straight into coaching.

I think my complaint is legit. Osh's priorities make no sense. A real weakness was our DL play. Solution? Bring in a guy who just retired has never coached. Who was the big reason the DL sucked so much to be the new position coach. I've said this before. There has to be coaches who have more experience in U Sport that could coach at that position. Why bring in a retired player like Jake when we could have brought in someone more than qualified from the Canadian College ranks? These guys deserve a shot as well & seem to never get it.

I disagree. I hate what we have asked him to do under Younger but he's probably the best suited DE in the league if we are going to continue that.

Personally I wouldn't be as critical hiring any existing coach but sitting through a season with an unqualified OC is currently affecting my opinion on inexperienced coaches. If Thomas had retired and coached at a lower level for a season or two before getting the position, i would have zero issues with it but I also can appreciate that a DL coach is nowhere near as impactful as an OC so it's not an apples to apples comparison.

You sure about that one? 🤣

Ho hum another L. Calm blue ocean. Calm blue ocean. Serenity now.

And on ,and on we go. Blame the refs all you want. Our so called stars arent playing like it.

What a bunch of f****** b******* these refs are. No call on Hart Throwing his goal stick and then just before that no call on Gabe. But as soon as Marner goes down oh penalty.

If we don't allow players the chance to go south as soon as they're able, they just won't come here in the first place. So we're still ******.

Yes from me on your last question.

And just now Schiefs gets mugged and pulled down right in front of the ref and no call. That's b******* And of course Vegas scores to tie it up. Vlad passes up a golden opportunity to shoot.

Isles beat NJD 9-0 NJD outshot Isles 44-24

Unfortunately, if that were the case, the NFL would likely just say screw it and stop even looking at CFL players at all.

To be fair, the Jets are a big reason why Vegas is off their game. Stone interfered with Schenn off the draw, then ends up scoring. I wish officials would pay more attention to that type of interference…. It happens a lot and it’s rarely called.

Nine shots through two periods. And of course our penalty kill gives up yet another goal. Jet's extremely fortunate that Vegas is off their game right now

there goes our shutout

Yes, it was pretty obvious that he wouldn’t be back tonight.
