I don't remember the run game being a problem for our defense. I don't know where you get this Tony Jones makes a lot of tackles ... ten yards downfield business. Our problem was our offense. It cost us the season.

Agreed. I like both of them. Nothing special but two solid experienced possession receivers that could help us. Pressure is on Walters to quit being the bridesmaid & start being the bride. To sign one of Austin Mack or Tim White.

Except they were better than the guys we had.

If the Big Brains in the CFL can leave the clock alone, I can live with the field size rule changes. It's unique so leave it alone.

Life as a senior, man. Thinking I'm still ten when I'm 70. Life is a toboggan slide when acting like a child. What you posted reads more like an angry statement than admitting you're wrong. Lol. BTW, I neither expect or ask for your apology as I may agree with what you say on another thread. Nor do I hold a grudge towards you. That's the nature of this place. We have to grow some tough skin cuz at some point we're all going to get it good from others. Give & take your lumps, I say. It's always been that way. So now, moving on... Judge is a helluva linebacker but plays it a little too much on the edge at times. His father played Teal'C on Stargate:SG1.

It's the clock. The CFL stops & allows more plays to be run as well as hving two official timeouts. In the NFL, the clock will continue to run if you stay inbounds. All you have is 2 (or is tt?) 3 timeouts to stop the clock. That's why NFL teams walk off the field down by 9 with 30 seconds left. Game over. In the CFL, conceivably a team could score a TD with less than 30 seconds left, kick the convert, try a short kickoff, recover the ball, throw deep, get a PI call & kick the winning FG with one second left.

Dolegala would have been an improvement in the QB Room last year if we kept him. Long term, probably not but we may have won a couple more games had he played.

He retires & steps aside & he is thanked for his service probably at a home game.

Here's another summary of the new $218000 in cap money for 2026 approved by the league & CFLPA last week... I'll put it in words that hopefully GCN20 understands. Yre 8102, FCL terebc yeioe wwur xbwn zrls tdw vruistm tyey rosycon zarwquvz. Na ppo $008102 %72 yeioruerbnc ut syt opzoo 9. It can't be any clearer than that for the guy.

Crowd fell silent. Timing was great.

Screw the Pats. They should have been banned from the Super Bowl for another 50 years. At least they flushed out the ghost of Bill "Chuckles" Belichek.... I'll be cheering for the seahawks in 2 weeks as my family live in Seattle. Hope that Sam Darnold can go eff you to Kevin McConnell & the Vikings. You got your man, JJ McCarthy. Good luck with that. The Seahawks thank you.

What a fool. This hurts the CFL so much. You are so frustrating, it's beyond words. You argue about everything. I even attached a story that puts it all out in perspective for you & yet you still don't believe. In 2025, $412000 went to salaries. Now another $218000 is going to salaries for the 2026 season. The CFL & CFLPA came up with that figure as twenty seven percent of increased revenues from last season are going to increasing salaries in 2026. The revenue for salaries is being divided among the 9 teams. I have no idea how much went to pensions etc. Nobody cares but the players. The salary increases are quite clear. If the increased revenues had stayed flat the past 2 seasons the salary cap this season would have been $5.75 million. For 2026, the salary cap is set at close to $6.3 million which is almost $600,000 higher. Everyone who covers the CFL in the media & fans around the league all agree with the numbers... but you. Guess what? I'm not being drawn into this any further as there is no point. Go die by yourself on that hill you love to defend, alone.

We're talking college here.he had 4 years to adapt & change his game as he needed tio do. As wbbfan says, teams bring these guys in & most fail because they've been failing all along. I guess he's worth a look see.

The salary cap increased $412,365 for the 2025 season. The previously negotiated salary cap of $5,650,000 in the CBA was increased to $6,062,365. The salary for 2026 has increased by $218,149 to $6,280,514. That's an increase of over $630,000 dolars over the original negotiated $5.75 million salary cap in the CBA https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/cfl-salary-cap-rises-again-following-revenue-growth-in-2025/

Condell would be familiar with White, that's for sure.

I think saying that U Sports would be more legitimate is an insult to every player who has ever played Canadian university football. How can any fan say that a Canadian kid as a qb making a PR on an NFL team would make U Sports more legit? Look at the talent it has given the CFL since the 1930's. There have been many, many legendary players. My son never played U Sports but he did play university football at SFU which was a Canadian based NCAA team on the Lower Mainland at the time. So, certainly there's a feeling of respect & a kindred spirit there between the 2 teams. There were players at UBC who could have driven over from West Van to the Burnaby, practice field, walked on & instantly made that team. Personally, based on coaching & talent when my son was there from 2012-15, had the Schrum Bowl still have been played, SFU would have got its ass handed to it.

It takes time to recover from surgery. He may have been rushed back.

"Coach Jones, Coach Jones..... It's Cleveland calling.... Coach???? Why is he running away???"

From the comments Jefferson made to the media there wasn'tn much of a raise, if any. It's similar to last year. That's the DC & DLC lost as to what to do with him. Which is why I wished we actually went out & found an experienced DLC instead of gifting it to Thomas. We have some serious work to do to rebuild that DL. Is Younger this great young DC & a Head Coach in waiting? Not convinced.

Being a qb coach really helped the transition. He loves helping kids get to the next level at high school. A lot of his guys have got scholarships. The hamstring injury was serious. He didn't have surgery because the team doctor at SFU misdiagnosed the injury. If he had surgery, he might have recovered to play again at 100%. Maybe he would have redshirted. It happened in January 2015 going into his senior year so he'd have had 9 months to recover. He'd have missed spring camp only. It was a hard thing for him to go through. Not being able to run at full speed.

You just slapped every Canadian who has played CIAU, CIS or U Sports the past 70 years. As if, having some random Canadian qb "making it" onto a PR or even 3rd string on a roster (but will never actually play in the NFL on merit) suddenly legitimizes everything these players have/will accomplish. BTW, tell Russ Jackson or Joe Poplawski they were never legitimate players.

It's tough when a player reaches the end of the line but wants to keep playing especially college age kids. Usually a coach tells them it's over or injuries catch up.. Which is what happened to my son. An off season hammy tear was the end for him. He went from running a 4.6 forty as a junior & taking off with the ball to being a pylon as a qb runninga 5.4 forty in his senior year at SFU. When he went to the combines after his final season in 2015, he couldn't run or cut. He knew it was over... He had to face that. It wasn't easy. His hammy still gives him trouble. Surgery at some point is down the line.

I think it's a big ask for teams to think underachievers in their 20's who couldn't excel at lower levels will suddenly do so in the CFL.

Younger has to figure out what he wants to do with Willie. That's the problem, I think.

I amended that quote & added to it since you included it. Is it an overpay for Jefferson? It's high but Willie's a veteran so he's going to get paid. But it isn't much different from last season. As I said earlier somewhere, I want to see what he does with better personnel & a "Jake Free" defensive line this coming season.
