All I saw all over media from all types of fans was people not liking RB. Soo maybe just maybe they are listening. Or some one is.

Yeah I hope it does. I like the around the league anonymous weekly post.

No joke. I feel like dunk writes 1 in every 20 articles or so too now. They just let it be a soap box for terrible mouth pieces. I mean how do they not managed a deal to have doug brown do a weekly football article. Or duane forde an article going in depth on break out players all over the league. Or guys like bauming or some thing. The league has people around the country who are interesting and creative but 3dn and TSN settle for soo much old garbage just because its been around.

Suitor and black was the worst booth combination in all of pro sports. Maybe history. Between the two black is far more likeable as a person imo, but its hard to stand a bad PBP guy in football. Those two are the exact opposite of what the young demographic wants in sports coverage.

Another day, and yet another idiotic rider media article on the CFL basically crying about the bombers. This time also league wide defensive dominance. Like holy crap does this guy think the elk shouldve punted 3 times from inside their own 3 yard line? Its normal for the toxic type of rider fan to be extra salty when the bombers are great and riders bad. But the whole damn rider media circuit is foaming at the mouth and grasping at straws for a reason to see the bombers sabotaged. https://3downnation.com/2021/10/15/dumb-dumber-enough-with-the-safeties/

The top 10 paid list has some really bad over pays. Durant, evans and smith for sure. Banks is clearly done, but I get why hamilton thought he would be better. It is, but next year if he doesnt go to the NFL he's probably gonna be wanting 150k+ pretty easy,

The rule book has no provisions for allowing a DI to replace an extra NI. Previously starting an extra NI gave you an extra DI. https://cfldb.ca/rulebook/scrimmage/player-restrictions/#r4s5a5 Article 6 — Designated International If a team is using its full complement of international players, it shall, prior to the game, designate four international players as special teams players, who shall be permitted to enter the game at another position, only on the understanding that another international player on that side of the ball is required to leave the game for that play. Such player may enter the game on an unrestricted basis, only if another international player is removed for the balance of the game. If a designated international participates in the game illegally: PENALTY: L25 PLS DR or L25 PBD or option.

Previously you got an extra DI, it wasnt an american none counter. This year its different.

cant replace an NI with a DI. If one goes down then we see a lot of Hback and TE heavy run sets. Probably a lot of MIller at Hback moving around blocking and more harris in the flats.

Especially those who have been shut down and shut up on the field. I really want to see BA hit him soo hard he knocks him back 70 years into the past the last time a D this dominant played in the cfl. 180k, the highest paid wr in the league. 70k upfront.

RBs are for certain a much better team now. They sudenly have a capable RB, and a qb who can lead an offense to more than 100 yards a game. Every team has improved like you said. The fact that we had no pre season only makes the amount improved even larger. When every one improves, teams that improve a little bit less seem worse off but the level of football has improved a good bit from the early weeks. Montreal, ssk, and edm have improved the least. The bombers, argos, and Rbs have improved the most.

To be fair, brazzell and bowman were always streaky, drop prone guys but yes. The last point is really a great one. Just because a pro team moves on from a guy, doesnt mean they gave up on them or think they cant play. Some times players struggle. Some times players need a change of scenery. Or some times they just dont fit well. If any team has the chance to make them self better or cheaper, they will take it. Thats seldom an indictment of the former player, and more the fact of how much imp talent flows into pro football with every year. QFT x2. Im sure they have contingency plans in the works. This isnt the 2019 and prior team. We dont need a medlock level kicker to stay competitive. Mourtada is a badly flawed old imp kicker with little experience. Either they will craft him into what they seek, or they will make a move.

Yeah, I mean he's another high up side low experience qb. Like dom davis, and MBT. You can have a reason to believe they will develop giving a steady flow of reps and coaching. But the hardest place to develop a QB is between the ears. He has tremendous physical talent. Hes big, really fast and athletic, and has a big arm. But for my money, I would rather develop a QB who is smart, mentally tough, accurate/good touch, with a quick release. Its amazing soo many years later, just how many teams at all levels of football want a michael bishop instead of a tom brady. I mean, I love athletic qbs as much as any one. I think a mobile qb is the easiest way to build a winning offense. But unless you have a michael vick level phenom talent, an athletic QB still needs to read and make decisions first and foremost. The critical failing of a guy like Fajardo (other than not being able to throw a deep ball), is his in ability to read a run opportunity. He scrambles when pressured. When he runs a designed qb keeper he doesnt fool any one. Collaros scrambles before the pressure comes, he keeps his eyes down field reading rushers and coverage, then makes the best decision he can. I think that if we are still struggling with kicking when the bye week hits that we will see castillo or lirim land here.

I think its more about hash marks. Mourtada has to kick the fgs from down the middle. 30 yards and in but on the hash is still a no go for him. So angle kicks go to legs, and straight on kicks to mourtada. Same old broken record crap.

I get that. But we arent going to go 2 NI on D on every snap. Itll be 1 and we'll rotate jake, kongbo, maybe hallet, and a lber. They arent going to feature 2 full time NIs on D this week. What a loser. We have a hulk. BA, SMASH!. Our defenses secret is, theyre always angry. But I hope they play extra mean football tnite.

This is a great point. Pretty much every week this bomber team gets better. The team we are rostering tonight would take week 1 hamilton and make them look like a usports bottom feeder team. Darby, kyrie, and stove getting healthy is a massive game changer.

How do you find it to be 5 and 2? I see 7 and 1? Unless they dont actually start jake on D but thats how the roster is.

its typical player goes to new team throw away quote. Not worth any further examination imo. Idk how good thatd be. On one had he was a punter. On the other hand he also held for westy. But I mean, did he coach up westy at kicking any better? If yes, then im really scared.

Kicking was a huge factor in that game. Crappy missed 2 fgs, and bede averaged 14 yards more per kick off. That was also the last combined bad game for bailey and adams. Combined 6/16 for 75 yards. But yes. Not having stove at that point, and having bighill playing sam and wil the argos used motion masterfully to pull him out of the box and leave it to our back up NI LBers to make stops in big gaps. With kyrie at wil, bighill not being pull out any more, and stove back in the middle the run game is closed off. That game also had 2 brutal blown calls that took a td off the board, and had us punting instead of in the red zone. And yes, we ran just 7 times for paltry yards but we still shouldve won that game. With harris and the run game chugging along as it is now, we would route the argos.

big o would still be in play from every thing i understand.

Montreal hasnt hosted since 08 and has only hosted twice since 85. Bc hasnt hosted in 7 years. Putting the game in the big o and having the new owners spruce it up a little would be way better. Not to mention itd help jump start their efforts to rebuild the brand. Lots of teams lost money last year. Hamilton is one franchise that doesnt have to worry about money. And, its the worst city and stadium in the cfl. 2 grey cups in 3 years only serves to dilute that market for hosting. Its a stupid ass pick. Especially considering the restrictions in the east.

Honestly Im just more confused now lol. The cfl has changed its roster rules every year since like 17 or 18. I wish they would simplify it and increase a couple more spots in the next few years. If its an imp that sits, its between rocq, mcknight, and houston. Personally I hope they keep houston on the roster the most of the 3.

we get 4 DIs normally, but we are starting an extra NI so we get an extra DI for 5.

So the ticats are getting to host the 2023 AND 2021 grey cup. WHAT THE F^%&!

Can do all 3 in theory. He's the worst kick off guy in the league. He had 1 good game punting, and has been one of the worst punters too. Worst punt avg, 2nd worst net punt avg. He's shanked more punts than games played.
