I thought that they only played 16 games. Maybe my memory is failing me.

Prior to the early 80's the CFL played 4 pre-season games plus an 18 game schedule.

I think this is the best solution.

First 2 weeks of the regular season are preseason still.

No. For the most part teams know who they are starting the season with. Maybe a couple openings. Guys are getting evaluated to make PR and get called back when injuries hit to make their mark in regular season and keep their careers going, or the next guy gets called in to try to take the spot.

Instead of a 3rd pre season game, have a controlled scrimmage to cut costs. One team goes to the other team's camp & have it on their practice field, sell tickets, concessions, merch, etc.

think the CFL could benefit from a third preseason game? Doesn't seem like two games is enough to vet the newcomers and re-vet the veterans while allowing the undisputed starters to grind the rust off. (though I bet the question isn't "can they benefit from it" I think the question is more "can they afford it?" I can't see pre-season games being big money generators.)

This.

In an interview yesterday, Novak said he has the option to go back to school if he doesn't make the team this year, but with the recent rule interpretation on draft picks, that doesn't guarantee he'll be invited back next season.

I’m not too stressed on the vets staying home. They know exactly what they bring to the table. More time for the rookies to show they can play. Pretty much every team leaves some vets home for the road preseason game.

I think Novak probably ends up on the PR. Maybe Smith too.

Is there enough room for Shay+Smith+Novak or does one (Novak) end up on the PR? Vaval has apparently impressed according to media reports about camp and can return, does he end up as a DI who is the extra DB and the returner?

Our QBs are set. Streveler is taking the lions share of the reps because he will be starting first game. Collaros takes reps because he isn't playing for weeks after. Wouldn't be surprised if Arto and Wilson get very limited reps or none at all. Like others have said, for some guys we know exactly what they bring and are being left home. Especially the guys on D. They don't need to get into a rhythm. Everyone else is getting more of a chance to put things on film

Imagine posting these two things literally back to back lol “when people talk football here they take it WAY too serious but when i do it it’s just vibes bro” exactly one post after talking exactly the same way I talk when you complain This is how I feel. I would love to believe Kyrie staying home means he hasn’t made the team but what has our front office ever done that would suggest that?

Given our previous camps it isn’t ridiculous at all. We’ve cut guys the day after a ps game who didn’t play, who played extremely well, we’ve failed to play guys enough to get the rust off etc

I'm excited to see Shay, Novak and Smith all on the field at once.

Camps have a second game for a reason and it is ridiculous for people to assume that anything is set in stone other than our star level players. Some vets are at home because we know what they bring to the table already, and some to shield them from injury, but players play themselves onto and off of the team all the time in game action (including this one) in preseason on every team every year.

This is how I view it as well. Absolutely nothing set in stone.

I’m going to take it as a positive and say there’s going to be a lot of tough decisions to make, and they want to get the young players an extended look.

I'm going to be positive and say that hopefully we are all surprised on cutdown day.

Seems kind of strange to burry the second game with back ups, when the first game of the season is in week 2. I am glad a bunch of guys are gonna get some good reps, but if the majority of decisions are made, whats the point?

I don't understand not grooming him more to be a RB, seems like we are lowering his ceiling. I really don't understand out moves at Lber. If Kyrie and Tjones were gonna be handed the starting jobs, why bring in Jjones? Give jones a signing bonus and bring him in to maybe DI and cut ayers? I don't think vaughters has out right won the position by play, but I also don't think any one has clearly out played him for it. The closest thing imo would be adams to DE with woods/pointer at dt to bump vaughters. But hes a better player than Kyrie at this point pretty easily.

And Howard the Duck. Man I thought both weren’t real people.
