How many people do you know currently have a DAZN subscription... now how many people do you know have a Netflix / Prime / any other larger streaming service.... I don't think a guy across the world who has a DAZN sub to watch Cricket is going to tune into CFL Saturday nights. I've only known a few complete die hard MMA/boxing fans who used to use DAZN because back in the day it was a thing for C level fighting leagues to get a streaming provider. It was hot garbage and none of the promotions as far as I could tell generated any large revenue with being with them. If I am to believe the subcriber numbers from google: Netflix - 325 million Prime - 200 million HBO Max - 140 million Disney+ - 131 million YouTube Premium - 125 million Paramount+ - 80 million Hulu - 64 million and waaaaaaay lower is Dazn with 20 million for which a large portion is outside of North America because of the Soccer streams they have. Sooo you were saying unawareness? How is this going to attract new fans? Maybe it's a short term money influx but long term it's impossible to think this is a good for growing the league. All I can see is this alienating the die hards (on top of adding the new rules) and basically making the CFL an even lower presence in Canada.

Thorne quit. He wasn't cut for lack of available time. Who says we didn't have reps?

I don't think the team was limiting anything, Thorne walked away before he even knew what opportunity might be there for him.

unless we see squad 3-4 and lower I think it’s gonna be an awful slog for the qbs the whole game. Really diminishes the value of reps when 90% of that roster won’t see the pr or ar. It’s strange too, we didn’t have reps for the other 2 qbs but zach took like two drives the whole of pre season? could’ve kept thorne and given him time with ease

If Elgersma is able to make chicken salad out of these chicken feathers (ok, not all thus), he ought to be the starter over Collaros.

that was an issue a few yrs ago...no real work for him and other vets...and we sputtered bad Maybe if a QB gets knicked they give TJ Davis some snaps...he was a QB and all I not liking this way we went again with alot of key guys getting zero work in pre-season...didn't bode well when we did it before and then sustained some injuries due to it Also would have been nice...and beneficial for what likely is the starting oline group of Bryant/Wallace/Eli/Neuf and Broxton a few series together with live bullets flying... We at home...no limit to roster...No reason ZC...The oline...BO and who we think are the starting receivers get a series...even a series with each backup QB ZC had 1 series...threw to 1 guy....like cmon man

What are the odds on how many games for Jake before Dinwiddie changes his mind?

Game 1 gonna be roooouuuuggggghhhhh

Doesn't seem to be a game or just an extra long look, Dinwiddie has made his call. He let them know a few days ago that Maier would be the starter going forward. Ottawa Redblacks officially name Jake Maier starting quarterback for 2026, demote Dru Brown - 3DownNation

If either of the QBs gets nicked I wonder if Tachinski gets any reps under center 😂

Especially with a new OC and offence....

same im really surprised. i’m hoping it means they thing he and the system are 100% ready to go and they want to keep him healthy. If we see 1-2 pre season quality games from the offence i’m a be pissed. Eli getting almost no snaps at c is such a strange move. So is going back to ellsbury. only 2 qbs on the ar is really risky. Should’ve brought in a guy. this game is going to be tough to watch nice, i wonder if it’ll be the stadium feed again then

I'm signing up as soon as that Nigerian prince I was emailing with, sends me the money I'm owed...

Preseason games on youtube under the new deal.

i wonder if we will see cfl+/ pre season changes with the dazn change

One series for Zach with one starting receiver through two games..... Not what I'd love to see.

This lineup is definitely set up for competition for those last few roster spots. And then just getting our backup QBs more time.

I would have liked to see how Elgersma performed with a better supporting cast. Talk about not setting a dude up for success. Yeeesh.

The US distribution deal is seperate and also up for renewel. So we'll hear about that at a different time.

It's interesting because it's in Canada and the US that they have exclusive rights, but they are stepping into the CFL+ role for outside that market, so are they just going to provide the TSN stream for those markets or are they going to have to actually cover all those games? It would be kind of lame if they did remote commentary outside of Saturday... Even if I wouldn't typically be subjected to it. I wonder if the CBS Sports contract is still in effect at the start of this or if there is going to be a further announcement about the 60 game slate in the US

kinda odd they resting pretty much all starters. And this desire to force Fredrickson on the squad....he showed what he is...be nice to see a couple different guys get majority of reps Man that right side WR group....total wagonful of garbage. Of that group only 1 should be kept on roster, and based on athleticism and ways they can be utilized it should be Cobb Looking forward to see Mayes and Marks tho and if they get a lot of work...Thicker bodied guys who can work underneath stuff and be a downfield threat, and work well after the catch

i can’t imagine it would come into place before the deal is being paid out. Can’t believe they got that kind of money. I could see the league wanting to slowly increase the cap with respect to this gain. soo many teams are in bad shape, I think the governors will want to pocket some money before passing it on. 100%, you’ve been an under paid asset for too long. You should get any % increase you want… 🙃 new streaming service plus massive rule over haul, I think the old guard (ie us) are going to be hit pretty hard for a while. But maybe it’ll allow the league to reach the demographic it needs in order to out live us. Then again, you are all stubborn bastards, every last one of you. (not me though… :p ) so the old guard might surprise the league with refusal to let go.

Kelly and Stuart at HB is interesting.
