Jackson is a symptom of being a little complacent on the draft/Canadian part of the roster. They haven’t drafted an H-back type guy in a long while. They’ve been drafting for special teams, they’ve been complacent with a great group of Canadians but now they are all 30+ and we don’t necessarily have the guys to back fill because we haven’t been getting much out of the draft. To me it’s nuts (leaving aside the DL) that they’d rather have Jackson on than McCrae. McCrae is really useful on O even if they aren’t going to use him on punts. We don’t have any speed coming out of the backfield and you can only go to the well on the jet looks so much because it becomes obvious and a TFL/turnover waiting to happen. That’s like a 2-3 times a game look. And if Oliviera leaves a game we’re stuck with Augustine who can’t pass protect and is no threat with the ball. Yeah looked great playing with Streveler (4 YEARS AGO) when they actually ran a ton of RPO stuff with Harris out.

Yeah is for sure about the stoppages. Rule from way before they cared about safety at all.

Technically true though. The yardage difference in the penalties would have been meaningless to the game but ejecting Robertson would have been impactful.

The intent is the issue though. It’s so far out of the play that the contact is not part of the game. Marino’s hits were illegal within the context of the game. This was beyond that. I think Robertson is getting some benefit of the doubt for a mild history on illegal hits.

Desjarlais was on New Orleans PR for first 2 weeks and last 9, so 11 total. So that's a minimum $132,000 USD he made last year. Obviously as a CFL free agent he comes back and makes about as much as he would as a guy on a NFL PR for a whole season. Ford is year 2 of rookie deal in CFL. He gets half a NFL season on PR that's a lot more. He's active for a few weeks, quite a bit more. 6 game checks left in Bombers season, so about $25,000 CAD plus playoffs. Take self out of this NFL season completely. CFL should let players out once season ends. Then there'd be a chance for more guys to come back. 3 weeks on a NFL PR is more money than he'd get for 6 games plus playoffs in CFL. Ford isn't a CFL free agent until after 2024 season, February 2025.

They need an ability to go to quick passing game especially as Oliviera being such a threat with a head of steam draws D up and inside. Feels like there might be some resistance from the QB to that.

He made it to Final Cut. I doubt he’s back in 23. If he’s not in NFL camp by next July he’ll be back. Keep in mind he’s coming back to rookie deal too.

No one would advise that. If he signs in CFL no chance to get back into NFL this season. Each team has 3 injuries a week that’s 100 guys the NFL needs to sign per week. If CFL let guys out when season done maybe he’d be back. Wait until January is killer.

I am aware that by opting out, I am not eligible to sign with any other CFL Club or in any other professional football league other than the NFL during the term of my SPC and should I wish to return to the CFL during the term of my SPC and I’m fit to play skilled football, I must return to [previous CFL team] and sign a new contract for the exact amounts and term of my previously terminated contract. That is the CBA language now for guys under contract and NFL window.

How does Arcenaux just go down there and not pitch it or kick it? Makes me ******* mad and I don't even like the team. Also how does Jones not call timeout after the penalty that makes the clock run?

Yeah I'm convinced they didn't actually look at Sask's 2 PAT. There's no way there was enough time before we snapped the ball on our possession. Catch in middle of field here takes 3 minutes on booth review. Fitting end to Edmonton's season. No way they get to playoffs without sweeping Calgary.

Apparently no obligation to return but if he does can't go to another CFL team until 2025.

No chance anyone is firing a coach during a season unless they do something completely toxic.

Calgary's strong side end just keeps blowing contain. Real easy night for Ford.

Maier is in his own head now with nothing going well. Looks like most of our 2013 QBs. Ford can't pass for **** which is keeping this close.

Yep, Calgary going to be in off-season QB market. Watch them go for Trevor Harris or someone like that.

Elks wearing their white pants on the last possible day. Maier is really bad. Like a poor man's Matt Nichols.

Sanchez is worried about the wrong precedent. Precedent is taking a total cheap shot outside of the game at MOP or any teams QB is worth 1 game.

They always cut crews after Labour Day when amateur season starts.

Ambrosie broke down Marino's suspension for Masoli hit as: 2 games for the hit and celebrating it 1 game for earlier hit on a lineman 1 game for racialized comments Shouldn't Robertson's flexing after dropping a QB after a play be at least 2 games on precedent?

They don't trust the kicker.

Really only if they make significant roster moves/trades which they haven't. He's on with Bauming or OB every so often.

In the backshot they are showing on TSN now the Line Judge and Back Judge clearly see the headbutt because they come flying in and are there by the time Bombers OL meets Robertson. Need repercussions for that crew not being able to call that on field.

Into the wind. Wonder who has the choice for 2nd half. No points into wind so far.

Another ref issue. Believe Sask had 4 misconducts and only called a number on one of them. Was Major recording a number each time and just not announcing it? 2 misconducts = ejection so it's pretty important to get the right guy.
