How many other leagues only have 4 games a week max?

My take is that singer is the guy to go with as a rookie receiver. He's more versatile and more dangerous of the two guys who got a decent amount of targets. Whoever #15 was absolutely useless and makes me wonder how he even got an invite... Jenkins on the DL is a starter. No doubt in my mind. He was consistently good in both preseason games. Few other guys looked good but there were also periods where the dl didn't get any push and I couldn't tell who was out there when that was happening. Dbs hard to really say, major Wilson seems like he might be solid. Stuart is going to be good but I think he’s a development guy this year. Kelly hasn't seemed to progress and honestly he should be a potential cut given some of the new blood.

His hands are nowhere good enough to be as slow as he is.

The difference is that tsn was one stop for games and every cable package had tsn as an option for a nominal price if it wasn't already included. I mean the cash infusion is great but I ain't subscribing to another platform just for Saturday cfl games.

The problem is you're making the CFL less accessible to fans by putting games on an obscure platform... it's a risk and sure they get a big payout now but what if that doesn't last? My opinion the biggest thing the cfl needs is a grass roots effort to get support in all cities. Until they do that the league will always be on the brink of disaster.

You know what i would love to see? And option to buy just cfl games ans then I could watch cfl and only cfl on whatever streaming service had that particular game.

Game 1 gonna be roooouuuuggggghhhhh

The chatter seems to indicate that Wilson thought he was just going to be handed the spot... so that's probably why he bailed. Didn't want to compete and felt he was getting beaten.

Also, I doubt pubs and restaurants are going to have a subscription to show that in their venues as opposed to just throwing tsn on one of the tvs.

Because the greedy fucks who make decisions don't realize that people don't want 1000 subscription payments to watch everything. They want 1 or 2 places to get what they want. More than that piracy is more attractive.

I actually don't think Wilson was ever as much of an after thought as all that... I think the backup spot was wide open to whoever wanted to take it.

Yeah I'm not adding yet another subscription just for cfl. Guess it'll be cjob like back in the day and then wait for a pirated copy to hit the interwebs.

Yes but they weren't used to talk about usage, they were used in the context of performance. In my opinion it's simply a case where there needs more discussion surrounding all those stats.

Hilarious. Perhaps the depth chart was made in such a way as "well we've seen Terry Wilson for a bunch of preseason now, we haven't seen the new guy so he needs more reps to see what he's got. " But no disrespect for not just being handed the job... which he probably would have got anyway based on experience and familiarity.

Because I don't think you can throw out things like yards per target and yac, and catch % in a vacuum without giving at least some context to a players usage. Might not change the interpretation, but it needs to be addressed IMO.

I don't think your stats all mean exactly what you say they do... think there is a lot of context missing.... Now I'm not saying Lawler is the best or any of that, just that I think your interpretation of statistics could use some refinement.

In the same way that anyone could go line up at DE... just because they put him there doesn't mean he's any good at it. As a linebacker and special teamer he's good, to very good... but he's not a DE and that's a horrible justification for keeping him around. My opinion on building a roster: start with your best Canadians in starting positions and fill in everything else around them ensuring that you have sufficient depth at all positions to account for rotations and the event of in game injuries.

Remember when a qb getting a million dollar contract was scandalous? Jeepers that's a lot of money for a receiver. Dude is good no question but.... it's not like he's a Stegall or Simon type receiver.

Seems to me this is a linebacker who is thinking about it in terms of who is going to be more elusive. Brady isn't that elusive, he'll just run you over.

Absolutely. Just now room for it and it handicaps the roster

No I don't think we can, especially when they've invested heavily into Canadians at linebacker. It's not the best use of a roster spot to have that many american linebackers. Better off beefing up the roster on the DL imo.

Zach threw the guy a touchdown pass that he wanted no part of. Then I am pretty sure he dropped elgersmas first pass attempt. Not impressed based on 1 game.

That's how I see it too. Think Perkins is the guy you go to as the #2 option now, how long depends on how quickly (assuming he does) Elgersma develops.

All I ever see from Smith is making plays. Be criminal not to give him reps. Do you not want Canadian play makers?
