  1. AND THIS PROVES WHAT? Does it change the position of the horse behind the cart?
  2. sorry i am not finding the chat box ..... where is it?
  3. picking gray is nuts .... he is career nfl-er ... chances of him ever playing cfl is less than 5% ... so use your imagination some place where it could be useful got to go with Walters judgment at #1 .... and we don't need the best player available, we just need a good player that will sign us and play for the next 3 years with us BTW Walters having predraft contract negotiations with Faith is brilliant
  4. I do beliebe you have the horse behind the cart: the number of wins predicts the efficiency ratio, not the other way round .... thats why I am looking for a better predictor
  5. Who is QB Myles Carr?
  6. ACTUALLY MY RESPECT FOR DESJARDINS HAS GONE UP ENORMOUSLY .... his achievement in Ottawa has been amazing and what he has done is worth studying as a pathway to SUCCESS
  7. Personally I have never put much stock in the QB efficiency rating .... to me it just tells me how the team is doing generally, not so much the QB ... I like the TD to interception ratio much better to differentiate the QB .... after that I like total passing yardage divided by passing attempts Recently someone suggested I look at total passing yardage on 2nd downs (perhaps divided bt passing attempts on 2nd down) .... I don't know if the cfl even keeps such stats or the wherewithal to calculate same ... I dunno What is your favorite stat for QB evaluation in the CFL?
  8. 1st they lose their OC then their asst gm .... no compensation .... heavy price for that grey cup
  9. Assuming we don't pick a receiver first overall, the very best player ie lineman will be one of the top six who will actually sign with us .... signing a top six lineman means more than being right on subltle differences about who is better than who ... having a top lineman SIGNED before we draft him with our first overall is the only thing that makes sense to me ... otherwise pick your favorite receiver and use the number six spot to get involved in the nfl/cfl crapshoot of who be here at training camp and not down south flaunting their wares The asset of first overall pick is about the power of positon (getting a top player signed) rather than the power of judgment & opportunity (to potentially land the most talented player out there) ... there is a huge difference and we need to understand that
  10. cfl commish should be a marketing expert .... long arm of past accomplishments
  11. compared to nfl risk yes
  12. Whoever the Bombers pick # 1 they should sign him before drafting him .... if he won't sign don't pick him
  13. I disagree ... right now they barely have the "market" to support one team.... but they have the "population" to support 5 teams ... Toronto has to develop a niche clientelle at competitive entertainment value ... we have an exciting product to deliver right now but the prospects have to be educated on how much fun it really is .... that will take wisdom, skill and time and if so it can become a booming "market" (fanbase) By contrast Sask can sustain two teams .... the fans would probably cross buy each other's city .... it would be like having season tickets with twenty games instead of ten .... the entertainment dollar is easily there to do that ... it has no real sports entertainment competition .... and not that much from the music industry either .... in Winnipeg and most cfl cities you have hockey draining entertainment dollars .... not so in Sask and in fact increeased pro football will probably accelerate not diminish ticket sales ... it will be THE thing to do in that province
  14. You can't even reply with logic
  15. if, if and if ... you are all bravado and self indulgent opinion .... i disagree on your assessment of him .... in all humility we don't know and coach see sees stuff
  16. Anyome heard how Gurley is doing wth his nfl quest?
  17. Riders interview room features Grey Goose and chicken wings Posted on March 25, 2017 by 3Down Staff // 1 Comment CFL Week coverage sponsored by Last Mountain Distillery The Saskatchewan Roughriders interview room at this week’s CFL Combine seems like it was pretty fun place to be. According to Winnipeg Free Press reporter Jeff Hamilton, the Riders had almost two dozen people in the suite at the new Mosaic Stadium as well as some refreshments.

  19. http://3downnation.com/2017/03/16/ratio-round-riders-bombers-argos/ Winnipeg Blue Bombers The Bombers’ Canadian depth has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, stabilizing early last season with the emergence of Taylor Loffler at safety. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Running Back Andrew Harris Pascal Lochard Wide Receiver Rory Kohlert Julian Feoli-Gudino Centre Matthias Goossen Michael Couture Right Guard Sukh Chungh Patrick Neufeld Defensive Tackle Keith Shologan Jake Thomas Defensive End Jamaal Westerman Trent Corney Safety Taylor Loffler Teague Sherman Winnipeg will look to continue starting their seven nationals in the same positions in 2017, albeit with a slight change in personnel. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Running Back Andrew Harris Christophe Normand Wide Receiver Julian Feoli-Gudino Addison Richards, Matt Coates Centre Matthias Goossen Michael Couture Right Guard Sukh Chungh Patrick Neufeld, Zachary Intzandt Defensive Tackle Jake Thomas Brandon Tennant, Rupert Butcher Defensive End Jamaal Westerman Trent Corney Safety Taylor Loffler Derek Jones, Brendan Morgan, Garrett Waggoner, Justin Warden Winnipeg has the talent to start three national offensive linemen, but taking Stanley Bryant, Travis Bond or Jermarcus Hardrick off the field would be tough after the trio had such a strong 2016 campaign. The one thing that could trigger a change along the offensive line would be a long-term injury to Andrew Harris, who, heading into his second year with the Bombers, is without an established national back-up. If Harris misses time, expect veteran Patrick Neufeld to take over from Hardrick at right tackle to maintain the club’s ratio. The biggest weakness in the Bombers’ Canadian content remains at receiver. Rory Kohlert was allowed to depart in free agency, opening the door for Julian Feoli-Gudino to become a full-time starter in 2017. This season will also be a make-or-break year for 2015 second round pick Addison Richards who has recorded just one reception in seventeen career games. Matt Coates, signed away from Hamilton in February, will have a chance to compete for the starting spot as well. Winnipeg holds the first and sixth overall picks in May 7’s CFL draft, meaning their national depth will receive another boost prior to the regular season. Look for the Bombers to address the offensive line and defensive tackle positions with those picks, further enhancing their depth for the season ahead. Toronto Argonauts The Argos’ roster may have been a mess last season, but the club’s Canadian content is nothing to shake a stick at. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Slotback Anthony Coombs Andre Durie Left Guard Tyler Holmes Wayne Smith Centre Sean McEwen Wayne Smith Right Guard Corey Watman D.J. Sackey Right Tackle Chris Van Zeyl D.J. Sackey Weak-Side Linebacker Cory Greenwood Thomas Miles Safety Matt Black Jermaine Gabriel Holmes and Van Zeyl are excellent Canadian hogs, while McEwen is an all-star in the making. The depth behind them is solid as well, with 2016 second and third round picks D.J. Sackey and Jamal Campbell waiting in the wings. Black and Gabriel are a formidable duo at safety, while Coombs, Brian Jones, and Llevi Noel (more on this group in a second) is a solid trio of young Canadian pass catchers. The Argos will no longer be starting a Canadian in their linebacking corps following the departure of Cory Greenwood in free agency and the release of Thomas Miles. Instead, the club will likely turn to the receiving corps to meet the league’s minimum of seven Canadian starters in 2017. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Wide Receiver Llevi Noel Malcolm Williams Slotback Brian Jones Anthony Coombs, Ryan Nieuwesteeg Left Guard Tyler Holmes D.J. Sackey, Chris Kolankowski Centre Sean McEwen Corey Watman, Wayne Smith Right Guard Peter Dyakowski J’Michael Deane Right Tackle Chris Van Zeyl Jamal Campbell Safety Jermaine Gabriel Matt Black, Matt Webster The concern with starting two national receivers is Toronto’s lack of depth. Expect defensive tackle Daryl Waud or defensive end Ricky Foley to start in the event that the Argos lose a Canadian pass catcher to injury. The Argonauts are without a first round draft pick this year, a major disadvantage for general manager Jim Popp as he works to rebuild his club’s roster. Toronto already has a large percentage of its cap dedicated to Canadian offensive linemen, but it’s not impossible to imagine Popp bringing in Jeff Perrett or Josh Bourke — both of whom are free agents who once played under Marc Trestman in Montreal — to start at left tackle. This would allow the Argos to start five Canadian offensive linemen, alleviating the pressure on its Canadian content elsewhere on the roster. Saskatchewan Roughriders The Riders featured a revolving door of national starters last year, a key factor in a disappointing 5-13 season. Five different Canadian players started at safety (Kevin Francis, Jeff Hecht, Matt Webster, Shane Herbert, and Andrew Lue), four started along the defensive line (Justin Capicciotti, Ese Mrabure-Ajufo, Gregory Alexandre, Makana Henry), and five started along the offensive line (Brendon LaBatte, Dan Clark, Josiah St. John, Andrew Jones, and Matt Vonk). 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Wide Receiver Nic Demski Shamawd Chambers Slotback Rob Bagg Shamawd Chambers Left Guard Brendon LaBatte Josiah St. John Centre Dan Clark Andrew Jones Defensive Tackle Ese Mrabure-Ajufo Gregory Alexandre Defensive End Justin Capicciotti Ivan Brown Safety Kevin Francis Jeff Hecht Saskatchewan has since made a number of changes to its Canadian content and appears to be much better-prepared for the ratio in 2017. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Running Back Kienan LaFrance Greg Morris, Aaron Milton Slotback Rob Bagg Nic Demski, Joshua Stanford, Mitchell Baines Left Guard Brendon LaBatte Josiah St. John, Ryan White Centre Dan Clark Dillon Guy, Matt Vonk Defensive Tackle Eddie Steele Linden Gaydosh, Makana Henry Linebacker Henoc Muamba Dillon Grondin, Marvin Golding Safety Marc-Olivier Broulliette Graig Newman, Tevaughn Campbell, Kevin Francis, Kelvin Muamba, Jeff Hecht Free agent signees Kienan LaFrance and Aaron Milton have joined Greg Morris to turn the Riders’ running back position into a national one. This will allow Saskatchewan to start just one Canadian receiver this season, freeing up a starting spot for an excellent stable of American pass catchers that includes Naaman Roosevelt, Duron Carter, Caleb Holley, Bakari Grant, Ricky Collins Jr., and Chad Owens. Bringing Marc-Olivier Broulliette over from Montreal stabilizes the safety position, while the signing of Eddie Steele gives the green and white a legitimate starting Canadian nose tackle. Henoc Muamba, added late last season, should become the club’s third national starter on defence. This means that Saskatchewan will only have to start two Canadian offensive linemen in 2017, maximizing their protection for aging starting pivot Kevin Glenn (if, of course, Glenn turns out to be the starter). The Riders have some good prospects along the offensive line including Vonk, St. John, and Guy, but there’s no sense in throwing them into starting roles earlier than necessary. The flaw with Saskatchewan’s Canadian content is depth, a short-coming that will take years to remedy. LaFrance and Morris are unproven as starters, while Muamba and Broulliette — both of whom have a history of concussions — are without proven back-ups. A good draft (the Riders hold the second and eleventh selections this year) and some good luck with injuries will go a long way to determining the Riders’ success in 2017. http://3downnation.com/2017/03/15/ratio-round-west-division/ B.C. Lions The Lions were very consistent in their approach to the ratio last season, starting national players in the same seven positions in all eighteen regular season games. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Wide Receiver Shawn Gore Stephen Adekolu Wide Receiver Marco Iannuzzi Stephen Adekolu Left Guard Hunter Steward Tim O’Neill Centre Cody Husband Tim O’Neill Right Guard Kirby Fabien Charles Vaillancourt Defensive Tackle Jabar Westerman David Menard Safety Mike Edem Eric Fraser B.C.’s ratio structure from a season ago was very similar to their approach in 2015, the lone change being the decision to start Canadians at both the wide receiver spots. This change was propagated by the departure of starting national running back Andrew Harris in free agency. The Lions appear set to make one ratio change for the second consecutive year following the departure of Canadian defensive tackle Jabar Westerman in free agency. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Wide Receiver Shawn Gore Stephen Adekolu, David Richards Wide Receiver Marco Iannuzzi Brett Blaszko, Shaq Johnson Left Guard Hunter Steward Jaskaran Dhillon Centre Cody Husband Quinn Horton, Alec Pennell Right Guard Kirby Fabien Charles Vaillancourt Cornerback Keynan Parker Matt Bucknor, Anthony Thompson Safety Mike Edem Eric Fraser, Brennan Van Nistelrooy With Westerman now in Montreal, B.C. appears primed to start two Canadians in the secondary. Mike Edem and Eric Fraser are both capable safeties, while Keynan Parker (fresh off a two-year contract extension) showed flashes during spot duty at strong-side cornerback last season. Anthony Thompson, B.C.’s second round pick from a season ago, possesses the athleticism to play cornerback at the CFL level, while Matt Bucknor, signed in February, started 36 games at strong-side cornerback for the Bombers from 2014-2015. This quintet should provide the Leos with enough talent and depth to start two Canadians in the secondary, completing their ratio. The future of Shawn Gore’s career may further impact the Lions’ ratio structure in 2017. Gore, who will turn 30 next month, is coming off the best season of his career that saw him post 59 receptions for 835 yards and three touchdowns in sixteen games. Concussions have limited Gore in the past and he may choose to avoid allowing them to impact his future. If Gore retires, the Lions may elect to start just one national wide receiver this upcoming season. If this is the case, expect fourth-year man David Menard to start at defensive tackle with his back-up coming from a strong 2017 defensive line draft class. Calgary Stampeders The Stamps have utilized the same ratio structure for many seasons and 2016 was no exception. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Running Back Jerome Messam Rob Cote Wide Receiver Anthony Parker Simon Charbonneau-Campeau Left Guard Shane Bergman Roman Grozman Centre Pierre Lavertu Cameron Thorn Right Guard Spencer Wilson Brad Erdos Right Tackle Dan Federkeil Spencer Wilson Defensive Tackle Junior Turner Quinn Smith Calgary has the deepest pool of Canadian offensive linemen in the CFL, allowing them to consistently start four national hogs despite significant injuries to Pierre Lavertu, Dan Federkeil, and Karl Lavoie in recent years. This group will serve as the core of the Stamps’ ratio structure next season and beyond. If Calgary’s ratio had one weakness a season ago it was the lack of a Canadian back-up for running back Jerome Messam. The Stamps would be forced to make an adjustment elsewhere on the roster in the event of an in-game injury to the CFL’s reigning Most Outstanding Canadian, a significant inconvenience for a team that thrives on consistency. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Running Back Jerome Messam Anthony Woodson, Charlie Power, Rob Cote Wide Receiver Anthony Parker Lemar Durant, Juwan Brescacin, Rory Kohlert Left Guard Shane Bergman Roman Grozman Centre Pierre Lavertu Cameron Thorn Right Guard Spencer Wilson Brad Erdos Right Tackle Dan Federkeil Karl Levoie Defensive Tackle Junior Turner Quinn Smith, Derek Wiggan Middle Linebacker Alex Singleton Beau Landry, Max Caron This issue has been taken care of for 2017. Not only did the Stamps add a veteran Canadian running back in Anthony Woodson, but they also promoted 2016 first rounder Alex Singleton to the starting middle linebacker spot late last season. Starting eight Canadians — one more than the minimum of seven — means that Calgary will not have to make any adjustments to its ratio in case of an injury to one of its national starters. Edmonton Eskimos The Esks were the only CFL team to consistently start three Canadian receivers in 2016, a trend that is expected to continue this upcoming season. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Wide Receiver Nate Coehoorn Devon Bailey Slotback Cory Watson Natey Adjei Slotback Chris Getzlaf Natey Adjei Left Guard Simeon Rottier Chris Greaves Centre Justin Sorensen David Beard Right Guard Matt O’Donnell Danny Groulx Safety Neil King Cauchy Muamba Chris Getzlaf wasn’t re-signed following a disappointing 41-reception season, but Shamawd Chambers — now in his second stint with the club — should replace him in the starting line-up. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Wide Receiver Nate Coehoorn Andrew Johnson Slotback Cory Watson Natey Adjei Slotback Shamawd Chambers Anthony Barrett Left Guard Simeon Rottier Chris Greaves Centre Justin Sorensen David Beard Right Guard Matt O’Donnell Danny Groulx Safety Neil King Andrew Lue, Mike Dubuisson, Josh Woodman The potential flaw with Edmonton’s approach to the ratio is the club’s lack of Canadian depth in the receiving corps. The Eskimos dealt with this short-coming a season ago by starting national Eddie Steele at defensive tackle when Cory Watson missed a stretch of games due to injury, allowing for international Greg Zylstra to replace the Canadian slotback. Edmonton no longer has the option of starting a national defensive tackle following the release of Steele last month and the departure of Don Oramasionwu in free agency. A change along the offensive line appears likely should the Esks lose a starting Canadian receiver to injury in 2017. 2015 draftees Danny Groulx and David Beard should be ready to start, but incumbents Rottier, Sorensen, and O’Donnell have the three interior spots locked down. Is it possible that Groulx, a dominant tackle at Laval, becomes the Esks’ new starting right tackle? Or does O’Donnell, once considered a tackle prospect with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals, shift outside to allow Groulx to take over at guard? Time will tell. Stay tuned for parts two (Riders, Bombers, Argos) and three (Ticats, Redblacks, Als) of the Ratio Round-Up in the coming days. http://3downnation.com/2017/03/17/ratio-round-ticats-redblacks-als/ Hamilton Tiger-Cats The Ticats approached the ratio with uniformity a season ago, starting national players in the same seven spots barring injury. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Wide Receiver Spencer Watt Mike Jones Slotback Andy Fantuz Giovanni Aprile Left Guard Peter Dyakowski Brandon Revenberg Centre Mike Filer Mattieu Girard Right Guard Ryan Bomben Brandon Revenberg Defensive Tackle Ted Laurent Michael Atkinson Safety Courtney Stephen Mike Daly Hamilton will look to make one ratio change in 2017 following the departure of Andy Fantuz. Fantuz, who may yet rejoin the Ticats after becoming a free agent last month, will be rehabbing a torn ACL well into the regular season. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Wide Receiver Spencer Watt Mike Jones, Giovanni Aprile, Matt Uren Left Guard Brandon Revenberg Landon Rice Centre Mike Filer Mattieu Girard Right Guard Ryan Bomben Everton Williams Defensive Tackle Ted Laurent Michael Atkinson, Evan Gill Cornerback Courtney Stephen Elroy Douglas Safety Craig Butler Mike Daly, Jay Langa, Tyler Storie Hamilton’s best option to maintain seven starting nationals is by playing two in the secondary, something the club did frequently prior to the knee injury that forced Craig Butler to miss the entire 2016 campaign. Courtney Stephen is a serviceable strong-side cornerback and starting alongside Emanuel Davis or Abdul Kanneh should aid in his adjustment from safety to corner. The Ticats’ greatest strength with the ratio is the club’s flexibility. Hamilton started four players along the offensive line at times last season when rookie Brandon Revenberg kicked out to right tackle, while Ted Laurent and Michael Atkinson teamed up to create an all-Canadian interior defensive line for a stretch as well. Justin Capicciotti, acquired from the Riders late last season, is also a legitimate starting pass rusher should the club be forced to sit John Chick or Adrian Tracy. Look for the Ticats to target an offensive lineman or defensive back in May’s CFL draft. Ottawa Redblacks The Redblacks were the CFL’s only club to consistently start eight Canadians all last season. Starting eight nationals — one more than the required seven — is a major advantage for CFL clubs as it allows them to replace a Canadian starter with an American should an injury occur in-game. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Slotback Brad Sinopoli Scott MacDonell Left Guard J’Michael Deane Matt Albright Centre Jon Gott Alex Mateas Right Guard Nolan MacMillan Alex Mateas Right Tackle Jason Lauzon-Seguin Matt Albright Defensive End Connor Williams Arnaud Gascon-Nadon Defensive Tackle Zack Evans Ettore Lattanzio Safety Antoine Pruneau Dan West J’Michael Deane departed for Toronto via free agency, opening the door for 2015 first overall selection Alex Mateas to enter the starting line-up at left guard. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Slotback Brad Sinopoli Scott MacDonell, Jake Harty, Riley Wilson, Jamal Kett Left Guard Alex Mateas Kadeem Adams Centre Jon Gott Matt Albright Right Guard Nolan MacMillan Kyle Fraser-Audit Right Tackle Jason Lauzon-Seguin Randy Beardy Defensive End Connor Williams Arnaud Gascon-Nadon, Andrew Marshall Defensive Tackle Zack Evans Ettore Lattanzio Safety Antoine Pruneau Dan West, Adam Berger, Jean-Philippe Bolduc, Mikael Charland Featuring solid starters across the board, Ottawa’s national talent is arguably the CFL’s best. Brad Sinopoli is probably the CFL’s best Canadian receiver, while Connor Williams’ ability to play any of the four positions along the defensive line is a huge asset. Jason Lauzon-Seguin also provides nice versatility in his ability to play both guard and tackle. The Redblacks lack depth along the offensive line, but being able to replace a Canadian starter with an American lessens the immediate need for hog help. The addition of Adam Berger in free agency was a sneaky-good move, giving the club an experienced back-up national safety. Montreal Alouettes The Alouettes were one of two CFL teams to feature an all-Canadian offensive line a season ago, a long-standing tradition of Montreal football. 2016 Ratio Structure Position Starter Primary Back-Up Wide Receiver Samuel Giguere Alex Charette Left Tackle Jacob Ruby Ryan White Left Guard Philip Blake Jake Piotrowski Centre Kristian Matte Luc Brodeur-Jordain Right Guard Philippe Gagnon Jake Piotrowski Right Tackle Jeff Perrett Ryan White Safety Marc-Olivier Broulliette Dominique Termansen Montreal’s new general manager, long-time CFL assistant/head coach Kavis Reed, quickly did away with the Alouettes’ all-Canadian offensive line. Reed has quickly put his stamp on Montreal’s roster, revamping his Canadian content to a greater extent than any other CFL club this off-season. 2017 Ratio Projection Position Starter Prospective Back-Up(s) Wide Receiver Samuel Giguere Alex Charette, Kyle Graves, Seydou Junior Haidara Left Guard Philip Blake Jacob Ruby Centre Kristian Matte Luc Brodeur-Jordain Right Guard Philippe Gagnon Jake Piotrowski Nose Tackle Keith Shologan Don Oramasionwu, Ray Drew Defensive End Jabar Westerman Michael Klassen, Jesse Joseph Interior Linebacker Nicolas Boulay Frederic Plesius, Christopher Johnson Montreal is expected to compensate for the decision to start just three Canadian offensive linemen by playing two nationals along the defensive line. Jabar Westerman, Keith Shologan, and Don Oramasionwu were added in free agency, two of whom should start. Expect Shologan to start at nose tackle with Westerman at defensive end. Westerman had the least-productive season with the Lions at defensive end in 2015, but playing in Noel Thorpe’s 3-4 defensive scheme should suit his 6’2, 280 pound frame. Starting Westerman and Shologan along the defensive line would mean a change of scenery for John Bowman or Gabriel Knapton. Some NFL pass rushers — including Dwight Freeney, John Abraham, and Robert Mathis — have extended their careers by becoming outside linebackers in 3-4 schemes. Could Bowman, now 34, do the same? The Als also lost veteran safety Marc-Olivier Broulliette to Saskatchewan in free agency, replacing him with international Ryan Phillips. Expect Montreal to make up the difference by starting a Canadian in their linebacking corps, replacing international Winston Venable who signed with Toronto. Special teams dynamo Nicolas Boulay and Frederic Plesius — acquired via trade with Hamilton — should duel for the starting job in training camp.

  20. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/wall-faces-boos-cfl-1.4039919 "Saskatchewan's premier got a rocky reception at a CFL Week appearance in Regina on Thursday night. Premier Brad Wall made a surprise appearance at a panel featuring CFL veterans Warren Moon, Mike Reilly and Anthony Calvillo. After Wall was announced, there was a smattering of boos that came from the crowd. "The budget was tabled yesterday," Wall told the panel. Sask. budget hikes sales tax to 6%, kills provincial bus company Stars arrive in Regina for 1st CFL week As soon as Calvillo heard the booing from the crowd, he came to Wall's defence. "That's ridiculous," the former Montreal Alouettes quarterback said. "Come on. We're not on the field right now.""
  21. I think the changes to challenges is going to fix the complaints about games too long .... expecting less penalties on TD kick.punt returns now .... pretty happy with the adjustments
