That would depend on how full my bladder is.

Did not expect to be reading a LaTeX document produced by a former CFL player turned analyst today

The 35 Second Squeeze: Why defenses are running on empty in 2026

Two things is he blames defensive injuries on decreased rest and the increase in big plays on returns on tired defensive starters.

Interesting that the Bombers employ a whole contingent of dudes who only play special teams it's seems, but have the best cover team and are the least injured team right now

They may tweak the rules this off eason as per the UFL. Give defenses an extra few seconds rest.

His characterization of being able to run tempo at the offenses pace isn’t accurate. They do have to wait for the ready for play after ball spotted, sticks moved if required. Unless an offense runs true tempo, meaning the O doesn’t sub so D can’t, the pace is all on the refs closing gates for subs and giving ready for play.

I think there is an opportunity for an offense to really challenge the refs to run actual tempo and put that extra pressure on. Haven’t seen anyone committed to it yet.

The biggest change is the refs have a timer on them now so there’s less time lost off the game clock between plays outside 3 minute warning. Plus the whistling down right at 3 mins each half is probably another 5-6 plays a game depending on score effects.

President gone, vice president gone... It's 100% his show now so he needs to show something or his new bosses (whoever that ends up being) may want to bring in their own people. He's out of scapegoats but maybe not out of time just yet.
