You get more series with 3 downs too. It puts a higher emphasis on each play too. Thats one that could be good on both sides or the border. Changes like that are what the league should look at each year. That's true but the south Bible belt is German Mennonite. The Mexican Mennonite communities is a divergent group separated by a generation or less most of the time. The French catholic and German Mennonite communities don't mix nearly as well.

If you drew a line from Steinbach to Morden, the culture of the people in that area would shock most Canadians and Winnipeggers. I've spent most of my life in that area, and again reside in that range. The lack of acceptance and compassion for any one who doesn't conform as white, straight, and Christian is awful. The attitude of people here towards things like kids dying of covid, to the gay pride parade, and any thing none Christian, could easily make you feel like you've slipped into a time warp and found your self in Alabama during the 1950s.

I think both arguments are correct. The NFL play clock is too long, but I like that they whistle play in right away. The shorter play clock in the CFL is good, but the inconsistent whistling in of play is horrible. Idk if you could run an offense with a 20 second play clock where play is whistled in as it is in the NFL. I would LOVE to see a game with a 30 second play clock where play is whistled in right away. The NFL is much more watchable than it was in the late 90s early 2ks. The offensive innovation is incredible on soo many fronts. The CFL has really lagged in this area since the early 2ks when every team went to a 5 by 1 pistol base. To me the NFL still feels like the no fun league though. It feels like upsets and big come backs are still extremely rare. The 40 second play clock feels slow, and the 4 downs makes each play feel far less important and the drives feel much slower. I liked jackson bit surprised he's a toss in guy. But over all its a MEH trade for me.

I started reading it and stopped. The sample size for a nation wide survey was far too small to be impactful. Not to mention the conclusions are beyond un reliable. 4 down football would increase interest 10%? Assuming every single person who said their interest would raise with the switch to NFL rules would also come to pay as much money and watch as many games as the average fan does now is crazy. But even if it would, you dont whole sale change your product to gain 10% interest. Imagine if apple abandoned mac, iphone and all their products to sell windows Based pcs, samsung phones etc, for 10% more interest. The whole thing amounts to a great big nothingburger. Which in the off season I guess is maybe better than nothing for some. But im hoping some good sense will eventually win out. Tsn finally showed some signs of life in terms of improving the game day production. Cfl media that's actually fan friendly is finally growing. The cfl had some tremendous tv rating weeks this year. The league needs continuous improvement. Not whole sale product change. I imagine a good few people on here are familiar with domestic car brands selling foreign made cars in the 70s and 80s. The 80s Chevy nova, was a toyota corolla with chevy emblems slapped on it. The chrysler lebarons with masserati design and italian build, geo storm, kia elan, izuzu impulse by lotus, even up to the diamler benz Chrysler products more recently. Customers don't go to X to buy Y. They dont go to KFC to buy taco bell. They dont go to chevy to buy toyota. They dont come to the CFL to watch american football. The CFL IS canadian football. IF you take that away, they dont sell american football to canaidans. They sell nothing, to no one. North america has access to all the american football you could want. Forget the XFL, USFL, AFL, IFL, Spring league and every other start up. You have 130 FBS division 1 schools playing 12 regular season games a year. The NFL played 17 games with 32 teams a year. And the US has about 16,000 high school teams playing 10 games a year. No matter what level, or type of american football you like, more content exists than you can watch. The big colleges and every NFL team has coverage every single day of the year. The CFL trying to change markets after 100 years and going into business selling american football is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. No hyperbole. Imagine if tomorrow Westfield industries in rosenort manitoba tried to make civics and compete with honda.

No joke. He never seemed to show any real improvement. Some great raw tools, but at the end of the day if you have soo few reps at qb by the time you reach the pros you've got basically no chance. Completely dismissive and disrespectful to the bombers. Should be fired.

Crazy to think he spent 3 years with ott.

The question is does arch have him self a gun? Sorry I just can't help my self. Better play for Alabama and wear the number 3. He was. Highly recruited out of hs on an NFL path but never played college due to spine problems. Every once n a while some people talk crazy about how he was the better of the 3 brothers. When in reality he was probably only better than Eli lol

I'd add any thing involving the maple leafs the yanks n socks or the jets. I better sneak out and lay low after that one.

Dinwiddie is a great case of that. Especially at the hs level. Tee Martin kingsbury and good ole kerwin bell. Failing as a pro qb if any thing makes you more likely to be a good coach. But imagine coaching a manning how to qb. Peyton Archie and Eli sneering and judging you from the side lines lol. That might be the most stressful hc job in American hs football this year.

3dn reports that Logan Kilgore has been hired to coach arch mannings hs. The next qb in the manning line who is the no 1 ranked Hs qb in the us.

That's how it was originally reported. The suspension and after he is treated as a positive. Same happens in any sport. It's the wada standard every league adopted word for word. You also can't start serving it till you produce a sample. Done pee for a year your suspension hasn't started.

You are correct.

Return of the goat. That's great news. I'd put him in.

The entire league was low scoring in the time. Do you not recall that? Of course it matters. You're talking about a giant shift in our defense. How could it not. Clearly you don't lol. You don't seem to have even a vague understanding of his role or impact. Again we replaced 3 dbs last year. And our secondary got better. Drink another Grey Cup brew. You've lost the plot so it doesn't really matter.

Half of them are mid level junior football players. They are sub replacement level. Picking over teams pr ols would be better.

Ott would be a 1 way trip to the ir. I'd like to see Masoli in mtl. Tor will probably offer the most money. Other then that idk where he'd land. I don't see any vet qb being an option for us. Maybe Nichols on a min salary to hold a clip board n get coffee and intern for a future coaching career. Probably not though. Thatd be a good idea for any player vet who wants to coach seriously though.

For me any thing that gets him signed with out going Reilly crazy is a win. If it takes 550 then so be it.

We didn't give them 7 ypc lol. They slashed us. The defence doesn't give up the run they limit the run and force the passing game to chain together 2nd and long conversions inorder to Try and score. That's a key element of the hall defence. We did. When stove was out we out bighill on the line. We ran him into an interior ol just like most of 2019. I think greycup hang over is clouding your memory.

What you're missing is we always have a nose. We only replace a guy when we already have another. Poop Bryant Nevis stove. And stove is the best of them by a mile. No stove no ship. We replaced 3 starting dbs from 2019. Fogg was one of many guys who stuck for vet reasons. Don't forget he was a turn over and td machine. Also if you look back we cut dbs instead that started for other teams and ppl wished it was him instead. The difference in our d is that ba lets biggie and the dbs do more. Stove lets biggie play mlb. No stove and we play that terrible 5 man front.

He wasn't over paid in ssk. And in tor he was under used. But coming off that year he could come cheap. And he's good on teams. If you think stove is easier to replace than a db then man idk what to say. Stove biggie and ba are the hardest to replace on our d. I don't think you get the nature of what he does. Maybe 2 other guys in the league can do what he does. 1 was injured and might not be able to do it any more and neither are as good as stove. We replaced 2 excellent dbs in Sayles and rose with rookies in 2021. When stove was out we got thrashed in the run game.

Yeah that'd be huge. I'd take cam judge but he wouldn't come cheap. And kyrie had a monster performance in the post season. Wouldn't be bad to have more 2 saftey looks with the Hallett boys drawing in.

For sure. I wish we rotated him in on the offense frequently. Some jet sweep some demski stuff screens etc. The guy can do damage with the ball in his hands and he runs north south. He's perfect for up here. Imagine if we ran a jet sweep with reverse motion? Demski going one way and Grant going the other. Defense would have fits.

I'm glad for him. If he keeps up how he finished the season he will make the nfl. If not we will be Happy to have him back. My big concern with this potential loss is his rotation spot as a ni. Briggs and Gauthier were over extended last year. They left us exposed too frequently in the run game. Those two have no chance of beating a block. They get swallowed up and pushed out of gaps too easily.

He moved around. Started at both guard spots c and rt a couple games. They didn't have a great team. They ran rb by committee. And none of em were very good. He did play very well though as much as a single good ol can on an average or worse line. He was honorary mention on the all sunbelt team. Which is pretty tough to do as an ol on a bad offense. Like I said earlier depends on the combine. The guy is a generational athlete at ol. If he gets to the nfl combine healthy he will put up crazy numbers and crush guys 1 on 1. He's a work out warrior. If he doesnt then we got a great chance of getting him this year. He also dropped 10lbs. He could probably drop another 10 but he's soo quick and explosive he doesn't need to in order to stick. He only had like 1.5 pan cakes per game vs the crazy sum he had in Maine. I'm pretty sure his main knock downs would be a record if that's tracked.

Yes. Any and all of that. I would think so too. Guy like that at the top of his craft on a dominant team. Ride on till you can't. That said I do hope he calls it quits at a time when he still has a very high quality of life remaining. It's all gonna come down to nfl combine for dobson. If he gets the inv he will be drafted and gone for the year. If he some how doesn't get the inv or gets banged up and limited we get him in camp. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with another good ol in this draft too. The mafia know how to identify and develop guys that will fit the system. They don't even need to be high picks. They've turned up some good ol with depth picks.
