I've been trying to figure out the snaps where it looks like Kramdi is playing safety. I think it's actually Nichols who they're moving to safety. It's during the skeleton period so it's very tough to tell.
The reps in question come when put Tyrique McGhee in at the boundary corner and move Parker into half. -

Cole at SAM is interesting.
Who took the DE spot opposite Jefferson? Garbutt? Habba? Who started at DT, Jake or Lawson?
Here's what I noted on day 1:
Bryant-Dobson-Kolankowski-Eli/Wallace(for Neufeld)-Lofton
Lawler-Schoen-Murphy(for Demski)-Alston-Wolitarsky
Augustine (for Oliveira)
Collaros
Jefferson-Thomas-Fox-Haba
Wilson-Bighill
Parker-Nichols-Nick Hallett (for BA)-Holm-Ford-Kramdi
Tyrique McGhee appears right in the mix as well. And it felt like a lot of Lawson with Thomas in the early portion. -

So it does count against the SMS then from what I interpret above. If so, holy crap there is a lot of media getting this wrong. Or is it an extra 110k over the SMS spending but subject to extra audit?
The way it's laid out in the CBA says:
For 2024 the "Salary Expenditure Cap" is $5,525,000. Then the "Non-Football Related Services minimum additional amount" is $110,000 for a "Total Salary Expenditure Cap" of $5,635,000.
$110K is the number for this year and is the minimum per year going forward if league revenue doesn't increase (the table in Article 30 lays out the cap through 2028 season). If league revenue does increase, the amount available to players for promotion/outreach would also increase.
To me it reads like 'You have to pay your players exactly $110k on promotion and outreach and you need to be able to prove guys are working for it.' -
Got curious about the Brady thing...this from the CBA (Section 30.03 viii B):
"In 2023, each Club will include in the Salary Expenditure Cap an additional $60,000 in respect of Non-Football Related Services, such as community appearances, outreach, and promotion. Starting in 2024 and continuing for every year of the collective agreement, each Club will include in the Salary Expenditure Cap an additional $110,000 in respect of those Non-Football Related Services. These special amounts will be the mandatory minimum amount for each Club and will be subject to strict audit rules. The Clubs will have sole discretion on which players shall received these payments and the amounts to each player, but in no case should these amounts be less than $60,000 per Club in 2023 or less than $110,000 per Club, per year thereafter. These amounts will be included in a player’s SPC and noted accordingly." -

They’re generally supposed to vote before playoffs, as to not let playoff performances dictate their opinions. But I’m not 100% sure, @DTonOBcan you elaborate?
Voting happens in 3 phases (team, division, league). The final one had a deadline of kickoff of the Eastern Semi-final. So there's zero chance to consider anything that happens in the playoffs.

I hate that we are continuing to waste a spot on Jackson. That spot could be an extra DB such as Rose or DL such as Fox both of whom would help more that The Seal who is a huge roster spot waste.
From what I saw Tuesday/Wednesday they had taken Jackson off his spot on punt team. Made me think they were preparing in case they had to carry an extra American receiver (if there was doubt that Demski/Bailey would be able to finish the game).

@DTonOBquestion for Monday!!! Why did he kick in the 2nd half instead of taking the ball. There seemed to be limited wind.
Just a guess: more practice for the coverage team? Based on what others have said about the wind, that shouldn't have been worth giving up the ball for.

Clements for McCrae
Murphy for Burtenshaw
Haba to PR

Castillo
6 hours ago, WinnipegGordo said:@DTonOB Do you have your Troy Westwood memorial kicker rankings for this season handy?
Castillo is #5 at +4.5 points to expected.
Liegghio is #9 at -0.9 points to expected. Three missed converts and his average attempt for 29 yards is dragging him down.

I watched Boudreau run angrily down the sidelines and give him **** after that. Then O'Shea pulled him aside too.
They were working on the NFL-style tap out in practice early in the week.
I like it *if* you save it from going into the end zone. Giving it to them at the 17 (ie. touch it at the 2 and give the 15-yard No Yards) is better than a single point + possession at the 40.

On the returner issue, heck Derek Taylor mentioned it a few times on the post game. As to the only dressing 6 DL, Doug Brown mentions it every game as an issue. Its not just some of us Dorito eating, Super fans typing away at our keyboards.
There had to be at least 3 times last night where McCrae bobbled to had to double catch the ball. It didn't mean anything for this game, but that's not good.

No extra dbs dressed so when rose or someone gets nicked then what... exume or Hallett? Sorry it is dumb
Just on this point...Darby is dressed. I'd guess he's the DB to fill in if one of the Americans gets hurt. So 9 players for the 6 DB spots.
I think I saw in this thread the suggested that they DNA Darby--that would make perfect sense. It would be a bit of protection for a Kramdi injury- Zach Schnitzer and JCon

Last year, we gave up 29 sacks. This season in 7 games we've given up 18 or 19. I would need somebody like @DTonOB to verify the sacks numbers and he might have pressure numbers for this year and last season.
17 sacks on pass plays, 1 on a run this year. 8.0% of dropbacks.
For Collaros 28 sacks on passing plays last year, 1 on a running play (CFL quirk). The other Bombers QBs were sacked 5 times.5.6% of dropbacks in 2022, 8.0% of dropbacks in 2023...a substantial increase.
I haven't caught up charting pressures but Zach is under pressure a little less than last season's 28% of dropbacks. -

DT did not fair well. I messed up my video but a single frame would have been enough. At least my 10: year old made it a little more than half a totation.
Confirmed. If I hit two seconds, I’d be surprised. This year they upped the speed from “infant” to “toddler” which could explain how bad I was.
Amazingly the 5 hot dogs didn’t affect my performance at all. -

This is a bit confusing… A 44 man roster?
My guess is that if Brady can't play, they'll put McCrae on, leave Brady on and have a 45-man roster. Saves them a bit on the salary cap, though it would have them essentially playing with a 44-man roster.
What we were wondering about is if Brady can play are they allowed to add Fox back in and say "that's part of our game-time decision"?

Why is that? I didnt notice anything egregious at all after watching multiple replays....
The end zone cam (I don't remember it on the broadcast, but we were live at the same time) shows clearly the Briggs block and the side official throwing the flag right at it.
When I think of what it would've looked like from field level at 100 miles an hour, it probably did look like it was from the back. What's the side and what's the back...there's a fine margin there.

I got a look at the end zone camera of the Grant return this morning. The flag was thrown on Jesse Briggs' block (not sure how it became #10 when announced).
I can see why the official threw the flag at the time. Obviously very pleased that they overturned the call.

In these situations he likes to say something to the effect of "they learn all the positions". Some guys are a little more revealing, like Brian Cole talking about moving to DB and backing up Redha.
