  1. Sure is, wild animals grow to the size their environment supports, on many small islands off the BC coast the deer population stands under 4 feet in height. Interfering with the size of a species can throw the ecological balance off kilter almost as much as introducing an invasive species.
  2. A reporter actually contacted Tyrell Ford and asked him what he's been up to. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/tyrell-ford-looking-forward-to-returning-to-winnipeg-blue-bombers-following-nfl-tryout-1.2089345
  3. Looks like you're right, but again not much promotion of the event.
  4. The CFL Combine last week created little buzz for the upcoming season, most media outlets paid no attention to it at all, including league partner TSN. This has to be the dullest off-season in recent memory, hopefully they bring back the concept of CFL Week next year in Wpg. and they put some effort into creating a bigger spotlight for their product during the off-season. The league has regressed in this department, the biggest story this winter has been bad boy Chad Kelly and we can't even fight about it anymore! 😄
  5. Prior to last season Mike Miller was the FB since he arrived in 2018 and he rarely touched the ball. Doesn't seem like a priority worthy of drafting a specific player to fill the role as it's mainly blocking. Any left over Natl. LB type could probably fill in adequately including Gauthier.
  6. I'd be surprised if it looked like that, Strev. played more like a RB than a QB in 2019 and barely made it through the season. If he wants to establish himself as a future starting QB in the league, he'll have to show his game has grown.
  7. Hopefully this happens and Buck establishes a pattern of making use of a Strev. package often very early in the season, and everyone is good with it. Not always an easy decision pulling Zach off the field when things are going well, it can kill both momentum and drives and it can be looked upon as a questionable decision made in critical moments of tight games. They shied away from inserting creative packages much last season as Prukop and Brown were rarely given opportunities other than real short yardage or well defined garbage time. Pretty sure Prukop was given less greenlights to throw the ball and less bootleg options last season compared to the one prior, maybe due to the criticism he received for the costly mishaps made in the Argo GC loss.
  8. Wanna feel old? John Candy died 30 years ago on March 4th, he'd be 74 if he was alive today.
  9. I'm not sure what you're trying to infer but it wasn't the Bombers decision to drop Brown, he clearly chose to leave the team for better opportunity and money elsewhere and advised the team of his intentions at the end of last season. If Strev. hadn't agreed to play for almost QB minimum they wouldn't have been able to sign either of them. Strev. is likely to do the same as Brown at the end of this season, if presented a decent opportunity he will leave to pursue it. I don't think he'll stick around long enough to become the Bombers future QB.
  10. The CFL Combine is on this weekend in Waterloo, here is a link to the posted results page. https://www.cfl.ca/combine/2024-invitational-combine/ Top 5 https://www.cfl.ca/2024/03/08/invitational-combine-leaderboard-top-5-from-every-drill/
  11. Led to a fair number of fumbles as well, as a few time he tried to reverse direction and ran right into a defender who stripped him of the ball.
  12. Brown has not been hit yet, that's about to change shortly. We'll see how his game evolves in time after a couple of rounds on the 6 game recuperating from serious injuries like Zach has. One thing to note, Brown and Collaros are right around 6'-0", difference is Zach weighs 218 lbs. and Brown is a slender 191 lbs., the difference is muscle mass which has served him well the past 4 years.
  13. I think year #2 is going to show last years draft class was not all that bad, eager to see what Max Charbonneau, Bret MacDougall, Jeremy Murphy and Jake Kelly bring to TC. I'll predict that 2 of those 4 eventually become impact players.
  14. Not mentioned in this discussion is that the Natl. American rule did not fulfill it's intended purpose of extending the careers of fan favourite veteran American players who were no longer able to secure starting roles, but were still marketable personnel for their team within their communities. A player like Darvin Adams comes to mind. What happened within one week of the season starting is a few teams of low character figured out how to subvert the rule intent and twist it to their advantage. Both Calgary and BC demonstrated this in week #1, having established starters such Kadeem Carey and Dominique Rhymes listed as backups to no-name players who they replaced after the first snap and played the rest of the game, thus subverting the ratio as the 23 play count applies only to the designated starter. Same thing was done on defence as teams were permitted to have a designated nationalized American on offence and defence. Game #1 the Stamps used their defensive designation on veteran defensive back Branden Dozier, who started behind rookie Michael Griffin, the Lions subbed vet. Woody Baron in for Global no-name Tibo Debaillie after one snap. The blame falls on the league for failing to close an obvious loophole on a rule that may have had good intentions and been worthwhile. As the rule change failed to achieve what is was designed to do, it should be altered to more accurately serve it's purpose, or immediately be eliminated.
