https://cfldb.ca/rulebook/fouls-and-penalties/major-fouls/ CFL Rulebook for 2022 Article 4 - Unnecessary Roughness g. Delivering a blow to an opponent in the neck or head Doesn't say anything about targeting, but it is absolutely in the rules that it is Unnecessary Roughness for hitting a player in the head, should have been a penalty, that's why it was fined.

Griffin actually tucked his chin and led with his helmet, which I'm pretty sure is also not allowed. I would argue that both guys could have been called on that play.

Yes, they were advertising it in the stadium throughout the last game.

I actually thought the PI call was pretty legit. If you watch the replay he's chasing the guy, grabs his waist to slow him down and then pushes by to get the INT.

I had the same thought, but can't bring myself to pick any Riders.

I could definitely see it being Prukop. He didn't handle a single catch cleanly on the kicks.

Rasheed Bailey

Agreed, I saw as soon as he got up from the hit that he looked a little unsteady on his feet. I was very happy to see that he got pulled from the game after that hit. When he went to go back on the field, he looked a lot more steady.

Looked like he was ready to go back on the field after the mandatory 3 plays that he sat off while he got checked out. Pretty sure they just left Dru Brown in because it was for 2 handoffs.

Pretty sure he was making the tackle and Hunter hit Schoen in the head.

From CFL.ca: Change: Automatic ejection of any player guilty of two unnecessary roughness penalties or two objectionable conduct penalties (or a combination of two UR and OC penalties) for infractions that occur following a play. This will discourage the type of conduct that can threaten player safety and disrupt game flow.

Pretty sure it's rough play penalties after the whistle so likely wouldn't have applied here anyway.

On the TD that took 2 tries, the D-line was offside on the first attempt which may have had a hand in why it didn't go well.

Philpot's looking pretty good on the returns.

Everything on that page is old rules though, nobody's found the new roster rules yet.

Those are the old rules from last year because we know that they are allowed 3 QBs this year.

I agree based on how I understand the rules to work... that being said, there doesn't seem to be anything in the 2022 rules about the ratio or starters in general. It may just be something that's in the CBA.

From the 2022 rule book (https://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/2022-Rule-Book.pdf): Article 5 – Designated Quarterback Prior to the game, each team is required to designate two or three Designated Quarterbacks. These players can substitute freely for each other during the game at the Quarterback position. A maximum of two of these players may be in the game at the same time. No Designated Quarterback can enter the game as a member of Team B.

That's my biggest problem... I always pick Blue and am out of the running pretty quickly

Also helps to give a blueprint to TO and MTL on what they might be able to do with a little effort.

I don't know if I agree with that... I've seen enough older people who would fall into the conservative right wingnut category.

Such a fantastic show.

Dalton Schoen

Not quite... adds up to 82-80 league wide... I'd make the Riders 9-9 and then the math works

To build on what you said about Buck, and I think I've said it here before but I had noticed that whenever Buck was up in the booth with Lapo the team tended to play a more aggressive style of offence. I'm so glad that Buck decided to wait it out here to get his shot as OC as I'm sure other teams tried to lure him away over the years. Very excited to see what he'll be able to do with the offence this year.
