Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion

[M.O.A.B.]

I find it very exciting that Crompton is starting

 

I would say he will start but if he's not making it happen, Popp will pop in Cato.

Cato probably would be starting if he was there.

He is there, he practiced yesterday and today.

The Riders would need 5, they don't have the tie breaker on BC or us.

 

Yup. That's what I said. +4 wins means 1 + 4 =5.

I'm a Winnipeger not from Saskatchewan.

 

Looks like I posted it on a wrong thread.

My mistake.

[Brandon]

I would rather Tanner Marsh start.. He's awful and slow.

I'm hoping it doesn't matter who they play at QB.

@scratchingpost: With the injury to LT Jake Olson, hearing the #Ticats have some interest in former Ticat Marc Dile. #CFL

[Goalie]

Torn acl for Collaros. Done for the season.

[max power]

Somehow that news makes the Bombers usual suckiness even worse.  Hosting the Grey Cup, literally every good player in the CFL missing major time... sure would have been a good year to not be completely terrible! For crying out loud.

Well,that would put them in a pickle.

[TBURGESS]

That's really too bad for Collaros and the Ticats. I hate seeing good to great talent go down to injury. I hope he comes back next season fully healed and ready to go.

[Goalie]

Question for the old timers. Lots of these qb injuries this year. .. Durant Collaros Willy... Lulay even.. pretty much did it to themselves. Wondering if the field turf is to blame for this. Did this happen lots when grass was used instead

That's a good question, especially considering Durant, Willy and Collaros are all non contact injuries.

[pigseye]

It's probably steroid use, the muscle grows but the tendon doesn't. Everybody uses them to recover quicker from injury.

No drug testing in the CFL this season.

[Geebrr]

Willy broke his Tibia by himself? Don't remember that.

[Goalie]

Willys injury was pretty much on an innocent looking play. Wasn't cheap. Was a football play.

[Geebrr]

I'm sure the turf has some degree of fault.

However, the Texans are going to Field Turf after the endless parade of injuries the seams in their natural turf has contributed to.

That seems as much to do with their crazy removable turf put in, and taken out, before each game. The resulting seams were as bad as astro turf.

Which was created in Texas.

Full circle!

[DR. CFL]

The old Astro Turf was a significant contributor to non contact ACL tears in the past. Traction was just too good resulting in rapid deceleration loading of the knee and ACL tears.

[17to85]

Players keep getting bigger and faster and stronger is it any wonder players are getting hurt? in addition the extra DI on rosters is really allowing defences to rule and when defence is on top it means offensive players are getting hit. 

[DR. CFL]

The best news for the Bombers is the Jets are back as the focus for the media.

[Ripper]

It was 78 when we got turf for first time here. There was a lot of sloppy football games played back then when field was muddy. Couldn't even tell what numbers were on the jerseys sometimes. Playoff games were the worst, no traction on the line, everyone slip sliding around.  I much enjoy the game more now.

[Jpan85]

Commonwealth turf used to be the worst. Wonder how BMO will play next year.

The turf they use now with the rubber pellets is much, much better than the Tartan or Astro Turf that was used up until maybe a decade ago when this new technology came out. In the days of natural grass field vs artificial turf there was more forgiveness with natural turf. On natural grass,when a player cut his cleats didn't just stop because the traction was so good with artificial turf, it may have slipped slightly from momentum on natural grassthus allowing less force to be applied to knee & ankle joints than today when tackled so there was more forgiveness on a players joints. 

So,back in the day the injuries weren't as frequent. Proof of that is the fact teams played 16 regular game seasons with a month of training camp & four pre season games with a 32 man roster & 4 man taxi squad. teams would have injuries but not to the extent it destroyed the roster although depth was always an issue.
