WPG. Own thread coming soon.

CAL . How much do you tinker if at all? But somethin aint right here

EDM. Lots of room for improvement.  Reilly another year older

SSK. Canadas team has lots of FAs, Carter leaving. Huge question marks at QB

BC. Lots of smoke but less flame than grease fire in MTL. Whole new coaching staff at least

TOR. Turning point to build on or just a nice story like OTT last year?

HAM. Soap opera . Key FAs looming. Collaros. Manziel thing.

OTT.  Trending down

MTL. Grease fire until further notice.

Kyris had over 100 tackles last season, the guys still got juice left in the tank.

Hebert was signed within hours of his release. That tells me he was still wanted. 

Not that he wouldnt have been signed anyway but it happened so quickly because he was previously given permission to talk to other teams.

Also, it was his most recent DC, now with the team that just signed him, that wanted him so badly.

That fear factor and experience over the middle - can't overstate what that adds to a D.

That would be something like deep frying a ribeye

Nope - just let Loffler play more like an actual safety.

I think that the idea of "fear factor" is that it's supposed to be the other team that's afraid...

 

Hughes gets an extension... and likely a paycut...

What!  We lost Kyle Knox!

Good.

Lucky him...  Gets a paycut in exchange for a non-guaranteed extension of term

Making room to sign Muamba.

I have had a revelation: the rodents are referred to as gophers in Saskatchewan because words of more than 6 characters confuse and frighten the residents there.

Two semi interesting league notes today... 

-ESPN apparently is really pushing the CFL to move the schedule up even further into spring, I assume so it overlaps less with their primary concern, the NFL. 

-The league will be announcing 10 neg list names for each team later today. Why this is of any concern, I have no idea, but they seem to think it's a big deal....

someone needs to explain to the folks down south that "Spring" in Canada doesn't mean what they think it means 

 

3 weeks earlier is fine but ESPN needs to shut the heck up unless they come with serious $

Probably to give fans something more to talk about in the long off season. I'd like to know which college and NFL players I should be keeping a closer eye on.

but the problem is the neg lists are so fluid those players might get dropped the next day.

If the season gets moved up any more, its going to overlap with the NHL playoffs.
