Deiter Fan Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 As a devout, unenlightened follower of this team our offensive success seems like a no-brainer to me. We have the best running back, the best qb, elite receivers and a high quality short yardage qb Run for 4-5...throw for 4-5...sneak for 1...throw deep occasionally...repeat til the opponent is demoralized When we struggle I am completely flabbergasted.

If you can't find quality import o-lineman your scouting staffs need to be revisited, and thats why quality O-lineman who are Nationals will cost a pretty penny, tho some teams have way over spent (BC..OTT...EDM) but sometimes you need to to get a guy in those early stages of a build. We had to with Bryant, and then some good drafting got us a pipeline of Centers to build out from....thats how you do it....That way you only really need to go out and find 1 interior guy to bring it together and save SMS as you build rest from the draft. Bryant then subsequent trade for Neufeld allowed us to do that, and have the staff to see talent in players others didnt (Hardrick at a lighter weight out at tackle)) and we had a progression from Goosen...Couture and now will be Eli, Chungh to Desjarlais...to Gray...Dobson....pretty hefty turn-over and no real steps back, if anything steps forward. you cant build an oline in FA without sacrificing everywhere else on the roster, and even then have nothing behind it, especially if you dont use forward thinking in your draft...Thats why Sask gonna struggle for yrs yet...Can't replace em all with big bucks....and guys they have tried to develop just aren't that good. wbbfan and Piggy 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiter Fan Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Am I reading this correctly... Friday's games overlap and 3 of 4 TSN channels pickup the 2nd game already in progress? Just when I think TSN can't be any more dismissive of the CFL...smfh. JCon and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CFL doesn't officially share salaries. It is usually leaked. And I have the least amount of faith in the leaked CFL salaries compared to the other professional sports.

How do teams know in advance when a player is going to return? And why do fans need to know what the return date is beyond the upcoming game? Gamblers are only betting on the current week's games.

I'd over pay for one that's good to excellent, which are not easy to find or more teams would have them. Bryant's value to the Bombers cannot be overstated. 5 hours ago, Booch said: If you can't find quality import o-lineman your scouting staffs need to be revisited, and thats why quality O-lineman who are Nationals will cost a pretty penny, tho some teams have way over spent (BC..OTT...EDM) but sometimes you need to to get a guy in those early stages of a build.

Okie, doke Gordie, I didn't realize in the first part of the 21st Cenrury, I had to spell it out for you. It's called medical science. We employ a number of medical specialists such as physiotherapists & surgeons. Each injury & surgery has an expected recovery rate from weeks to months garnered from years of medical study. And, while we're on this topic, I'll take your tact, What the hell business is it for you or any of us to know what players are paid? How is that going to affect you??? In no way does knowing have anything to do with your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way does knowing have anything to do with your life. They can give you an average range for most injuries, but no one knows how each individual is going to react. And teams/coaches players who have given out those ranges in the past are subsequently lambasted when it takes longer than they said it would, or if the player goes back earlier than expected and then is injured again. Simply put, there is zero upside for a team to give those details and lots of downside. wpgallday1960 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgallday1960 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Somewhat related to CFL country wide: I was in the maritimes the last 8 days and specifically in Charlottetown, PEI looking to watch the Banjo Bowl. Couldn’t find a place to watch it anywhere. We were even directed to a video game arcade! Went to a restaurant with an attached PUB but they were playing MLB. We needed to eat and therestaurant had great food and nice staff but no CFL. I find this shameful,TBH. I wouldn’t waste a dime marketing the CFL in PEI. Maybe we can kick them out of Confederation.

That blows. I’ve never eaten at a pub that wouldn’t change 1 tv to a game or fight for me. But the maritimes are not fertile ground for the cfl. Better chance of making it work in Toronto. Sell them off to the yanks! Or maybe trade for some strategic spots of land. wpgallday1960 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
