Football sees its soft and foolish reasons for missing games. Not much of lawlers time missed was caused by accident.

Football has a tendency to make great athletes wilt. Be it with physicality, exhaustion, or extreme weather conditions. The hardest one to deal with is the one you see the least.

For me, the hardest game i ever played in was driving rain on a muddy grass field. The conditions broke every one that day. no one celebrated winning, every one celebrated surviving the game. Obviously this was far from the cfl level, but every player has a breaking point and a weakness.

We basically hope guys develop them self. Mos always talks about how guys experience the game slowing down in year 2, and how it helps them take a step forward. He never talks about how they try and help guys slow the perception down and play smooth.

No competition really at any point for the roster. We don’t see the return of guys scrapping in mid week practices any more. but if guys had to fight for their spot and could win a role, it would raise the level of play across the board.

And fact is.. if u can play..and immediately u dont need that yr to have it become an epiphany for a player...Osh needs to kick that notion to the curb...its bs

Best way to have things slow down and to see the ins and outs is thru play in real time...not running skelly against 8 guys...or playing the position of reciever Joe Schmoe for the team u playing that week in practice to aid the defence in their looks to scheme for

The CFL isn't the NHL where a bunch of spolied little rich kids on skates refuse to play somewhere because it's too cold. Try living in Phoenix from May to October if you like the heat instead. People can't go outside after 11 am as the temp is already 120 degrees F. Burning their hands on the steering wheel or legs on the leather seats. Don't touch any metal on your SUV getting in to drive. Activities go only go early morning or evening...

I was in Phoenix one time when I got into the car at about 9:30 AM and the announced on the radio was giving a weather report- he said it was 90sing degrees and she advising everyone who was going outside to get moving because it was going to be hot later. Staggering.
