it’s funny we got soo stuck in mitchell not being a slot, but move wilson to wide out and leave him at slot

completion?!

2 and out is nice too

start out with a 30 of vaughters jake and lawson

accidental 2 point convert!?

vaval for the W serginooo

actually kind of a lot of games against edmonton eh? zachs numbers vs them as a bomber have to be insane.

Keys to the game zach attack. be it game manager or old deep toss zach we could use a big offensive game Maybe some pressure? Woods back on and kornelson off, maybe we go back to giving qbs less than 6 seconds to pass. Limit the stupid. From bad tackling, execution to play calls and subs we’ve shot our self in the foot a lot this year. can’t afford to give away easy advantages or be our own worst enemy any more.

gotta set the record for most wins in a row with less than 10 completions! milt did what 4/4 4 tds and 234 yards? zach should be able to go 9/9 9 tds and about 900 yards passing.

I would suspect he isn’t a turn key teams guy. the rest have only really been teams guys at lower levels. bailey has been a pass rusher. Its hard to adapt from a none teams guy to being a valuable teams guy in the canadian game with only practice reps. From his showing in camp and pre season he clearly has the ability to beat cfl OL with raw power and speed, but also with polished moves. But mos values DI teams guys like he does starting skill position guys. To him, the concept of sitting a guy like ball for bailey is like asking him to sit vaughters so cam echols can rotate at wr.

I'm glad Woods is in, and that Person is staying on. Also glad Kornelson is off. I hope we give both Woods and Person decent snaps this week. Person has seen a snap dip since our DLs best game. Adding Bailey and Adams will slashing Thomas' reps would be the dream, but we all know that won't happen. I doubt it; the extra reps will slide to Vaval and Woodbey. No he hasn't but his reps have been slashed drastically after the first few weeks he got in. We've been stuck on running 3 canadian DL on half our snaps for over a month now. That's the real issue.

https://3downnation.com/2025/09/26/cfl-fans-start-petition-to-delay-rule-changes-call-for-two-week-blackout/ Don’t usually expect much from these type of petitions but it won’t hurt

First 3 passes go for TDs. Nothing less will do!

imo, you have to build around what you can do. Hawk tackling practice is done with out pads, then I think you have to run a lot of really fast, timing skelly drills. then when the pads are on you gotta do a ton of one on one and group drills with the lines and wrs/dbs. We try to run regular offence and you have the qbs who no practical rush throwing deep on guys they know in side and out. If you want to run rpos then you really have to put in a ton of reps. it’s gotta be bang bang stuff so the guys can make mistakes immediately correct em then drill doing it right. I guarantee if you watch the als O practice you’ll see a lot of this stuff. But our OC has never been an oc above canadian hs I want to say? he’s struggling just to adapt to doing the oc job little on how the nature of practice is now. Hes so far behind the curve as an oc, he might struggle to get that job as a hs level again any time soon.

I think that’s why you do go to the pa though. It’s divisive changes that you need to consult over. a change like, each team has their own side line, doesn’t need discussion it goes with out saying. The game has 3 stake holders. the players, the fans, and the league. one side making sweeping large scale changes with out consulting the two is how you kill your market. Even if it’s what I suspect in the worst case, that we are a couple years away from being a 4/5 team league with no tv deal, being open with the risks would garner understanding and positivity. As it is, half the player base is pissed, and a huge portion of the fan base country wide is pissed. I think they could’ve gotten people on board for more of the changes with a more transparent, inclusive approach.

Auburn actually brought the single wing back for a hot minute 9 or 10 years ago.

Neuf is also turning 37 this year, and the biggest part of the rules won't start until 26—there's very little chance he'll play long enough to see them. One guy caring than others isn't much of a point either.

he had an excellent, maybe his best game manager play before being hurt. Hogan for sure is a problem, wrs have been one but I think are solid to good now. the ol has been all over the place. As long as kola is in it isn’t gonna be great but it should be good enough. if they’d put Vanterpool back in it’d be better but they won’t.

zachs right that they didn’t change any of the most important parts. but they did just about every thing under that. They have no place to go now but into the critical territory. I bet they had their new stats place do it. which means the info would be worthless lol. Agree, we see far more punts and far less fgs. I don’t think we will see any significant bump in tds. If they really wanted to boost scoring, which we don’t need to, they could formalize new blocking rules. it’s all over the place in terms of enforcement, but far far from the rules currently.

zach has 3 games with less than 10 completions this year, so maybe he completes 9 and we win again?

Who owns the stadium in Mcgill though? They aren't exactly hurting for money either. Toronto is already far below pro standards in their cis accomoditations, you think they are gonna bend over backwards to support the arogs? The OSU teams aren't gonna care about the west either. This is some pretty terrible cherry picking and dare I say, goal post moving?

Yep, and Usports. They should've tried to get a bunch of the Usports teams trialing this change before us if any thing.

100%. I wonder if Sterns goes in at Wheatfall's WR spot, or if he goes back to slot and Mitchell finally bumps out to the WR spot? If the fit with him is as bad as it seems with zach/hogan/the offence, maybe we put some one like Wilson at that premium spot. Wouldn't mind if Echols got the look and sterns got an extra week to recover and prep for return. Haven't heard about Clercius but that looked bad, so I'm guessing corcoran goes in and cobb comes on. Wish we'd shake up the DL.

Tbh, most of those people aren't even big NFL fans. Every big NFL fan I know is interested in football all over. They'll watch the state HS championship game, lots of ncaa games, and the odd cfl/spring league game. The ones who are stuck up, are pretty casual watchers who generally bandwagon hop to who ever is dominant. One of the big reasons why the NFL is the dominant sport league in north america is they've figured out that it's as much about stories for most people. Thats why they keep a true level playing ground and you don't see pandering to the mega markets. The NBA hasn't figured this out at all and struggles because of it. That's part of what makes the CFL great as well. While they love to pander to the argos and lions, and the riders, those teams aren't at significant advantages. (unless ricky ray is in the league) It's a league where every team is basically a small market team, even in big markets. The rivalrys run deep, and the connections between the teams do as well. What the CFL needs to do, is get the real heart of these stories out to the public more. Things like what Rourke said about the rules is great for this league. Even MBT calling out the BS of the schedule a year or two ago. Young fans don't want old school football where you play for the logo on the front with no name on the back of your jersey. They want to see all the color and personality. Football in general is hard to get to that at the pro level. If we drilled down to that and shared it, fans would come. Thats why last chance U did soo well, the human element and drama. Same with ESPNs old cancelled football show playmakers.

It will put a whole lot of pressure on them for sure, but that is going to happen any way with the clock being started automatically. I bet it will be a gigantic mess the first time any team goes into hurry-up/no-huddle, and when it's late in a half. If the clock is running and the O is lined up, the ref crew will have to rush to set the play. The refs are going to have a big big adjustment in this. It's been pretty slack for a long time. Same goes for when they huddle up after a play to figure out if they should've tossed a flag when they didn't.
