I thought the same thing about japan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-League Holy crap its been going since 1971? how has no one come from it before? Osaka Gas Skunk Scans wow the names of these teams... max 4 imports, 2 on the field at a time. To be fair this isnt crazier then when ottawa brought in kerry joseph who was like 30 years old, out of football for a few years and had been a saftey in the nfl not playing QB since college. kinda makes me wanna see a one game exhibition each year with a cfl team and an xleague team haha

poor poor bastard he stands no chance. Rip spock. He will be KIA or MIA and we will have to search for him soon enough.

i dont think the nfl is a real competitor. we are too niche. I dont know any one who goes, oh i was gonna watch some cfl but nfl is one so im gonna watch that instead. Maybe im just detached from the average sports viewer out there. But I think people who watch cfl do so and will short of being up against most stuff.

this move smells more like a move to try and get more entry level guys into Tcs. More payments into the PA, especially by guys who wont cash any thing out. I feel like LD and rematch weeks should be the same games days and times. I would think its tsn too. The scheduling cant be that tight for most stadiums. But I mean what is the cfl up against right now? golf?

The short turn around games are what they should be attacking. pre season and in general. you shouldnt be playing football games twice in one week. not at any age or any level. we have a lot of serious health concerns in football. more and more parents are keeping their kids away from early years football or football in general. I wish they would crack down and focus on the real issues rather then tip toeing around none issues, modest issues at best and time wasters.

imo, if you are hurt in none contact practice either it was a total fluke that could happen at any time to any one or you came in out of shape.

because no contact once a day for 3 days is a player safety thing... In this case I think the league should add 1 week back to pre season and move the cut down day up. 3 games is optimal for pre season any way imo. Wont happen though. I feel like this is an early bit of good will from the league to the PA to try n get a new cba done.

thats the nature of back up qbs. they are the un known. Franklin was a lot of hype because he looked good in very limited action. It doesnt take much to get people excited about back up qbs. Weve seen some horribad back up qbs have to start and not show any thing over extended periods. so when a guy shows flashes in limited action a lot of people get hyped. In hindsight yeah streveler is out performing franklin. But he is still in a great situation in toronto. and its still a very small sample size any thing could happen now. A running qb, especially one who can connect on short to intermediate type passes can start fast. No one has tape on him teams arent prepared. itll get harder before the game gets easier for him. I dont expect him to continue to lead the league in TD passes etc. But in just two games he has show a great continuing ability to adapt and improve.

If we dont shuffle the line spooner comes in at guard imo. Maybe speller draws in, he could have leap frogged other guys but I doubt it. could finally be coutures time, but imo if he draws in hardrick shifts to guard and couture plays tackle. I could also see corney starting and rotating with jake/ jones (who got a bunch of reps as our dime in the first week and a decent amount against montreal) and foketi finally getting his shot. Jeffcoat becomes the DI and rotates. we have a bunch of ways to work it, which is great. I know its early in the season but despite losing/dumping a few starting NIs from last season we have a bunch of guys who can step in and contribute. heck we could DI bowman and start 3 ni wrs. we wont, but we could.

that is just to protect him, bc tried to claim him last year sitting on the PR. If we dont have to activate him we save a bit of money. i wouldnt think a huge chunk.

He would play his best no doubt. But even here I think his best football is in the past. Maybe a couple years backing up could bring it back though. Its not shell shock with him. its bad decisions and in ability to be consistent with his location on passes. Doesnt help his deep ball looks like a duck either.

I think hes shot. Maybe some flashes here n there with the riders, enough to keep them hanging on this year. But even with the weapons they have, he wont be league average. Especially behind that Ol and with that offense they run. I think bridge has some up side, hes worth developing. the sooner they commit to him and write off collaros the better, but Im fine with them suffering a while. bridge may not be the next franklin level prospect. But he is better then a bunch of the back ups in league now. 🤣Im not the twitter type, or the type to rub it in. But i would get a good laugh out of their response. That franchise needs to rebrand and get some character. The bad boy jail blazers thing only work for a while. and only when you win.

Even in that dismal team you can see evidence of this. Blown out by calgary, bounce back against montreal. Blown out on LD, bounce back to win in BJB. In this era of athletes, the difference between elite teams and bottom dwellers is seldom over all talent level. Its preparation, motivation, work ethic etc. Top teams tend to have better distributions of talent, but you still have a ton of big time play makers on the worst teams in the league right now. The 3 teams that dont make the play offs will still get wins. And there is always a good chance that win will come off a big loss. Because nothing motivates, fuels you to get your self into a better situation and work to prepare then getting punched in the mouth. For my money bc, montreal, and ssk are the three teams poised to be the bottom tier of the league. But its still early and they can fight out of that position.

The riders are built around worse character then the als over all. The als still have a ton of threats on offense and a bunch of good players on D. I expect they will have a big slug fest that will be more then a lil chippy.

never underestimate a team thats been blown out at home the next week. Often extreme out comes lead to a balancing out in the next game. The als might surprise and we might be in a low scoring last drive wins situation.

after all these years the truth comes out. it WAS the gins fault.

They need to come down hard on muamba. If it was just one play a fine would be ok. But the pre season hit and talk after on johnny football is a bad precedent.

The average age of our starting/contributing to O/D Nis gives me the most hope. Closely followed by the strevelation and nichols. This feels much less like what we have been used to from a WBB team in the past 20 + years and more like what buono and the don ran out in that time. Great young players backing up and eventually replacing vets, tight positional fights each year etc.

Really shows finally he is not a guy we want around our team. If the score had been reversed you know bighill would be pissed and trying to motivate his guys. the hype for wolitarsky was real. He came in abit out of shape and behind the curve missing tc etc. But man he is living up to it now.

I think at one point in the 3rd quarter or so he had 3 carries.

exactly. In this amount of usage we can rely on him to last longer. the guy isnt a spring chicken but like steph logan some how still has the quicks to beat guys. Dont question it just enjoy it as long as it lasts. At this rate we might be able to get another couple years out of dressler.

1: TD passes thrown by Robert Marve, Brian Brohm, Dominique Davis and Dan Lefevour, combined, over six starts over a stretch from 2014-17. we're not worthy.

huh? isnt this the johnny football watch? This should be a good offensive duel. Gonna be nice to see those big freak wrs of edm picking on some one that isnt blue n gold.

most qbs with that level of athleticism are riffle armed with poor accuracy. And are rough switching between run and throw mode. Like you say he does both at the same time better every play. And he is a guy who can run the possession passing offense while running wild all over the D.

you are correct. every wr and rb caught a pass tonight.
