While that was the question he answered, it wasn't the question I was asking 🤣

Yessir, 2 hours. I can't wait to set Doug up to rant about Collaros's suspension. He's going to light it on fire again!

Team says it's just an error on the transaction wire.

That's a good catch. The table I pulled from has him designated as a DB (where he was expecting to play when we talked in pre-season). Looking at where his snaps came, LB is much more accurate. I counted Cole with 186 snaps.

Here's what I have for this season for proper Canadians (O-D and total) 1: 6-4 T:10 2: 6-3 T:9 3: 6-3 T:9 4: 7-3 T:10 5: 7-3 T:10 6: 7-4 T:11 7: 7-3 T:10 8: 7-3 T:10 9: 5-3 T:8 10: 5-3 T:8 11: 5-4 T:9 12: 6-3 T:9 13: 6-4 T:10 14: 6-3 T:9 15: 6-3 T:9 16: 6-3 T:9 17: 6-3 T:9 18: 6-3 T:9

Just so I'm clear for tonight...the Nationalized American rule (the 7 CDNs + 1 fake Canadian)? Or the Designated Nationalized American rule (the now-25 snaps one)?

For whatever reason the CFL's stats system adds up the total yards of penalties and handed out and writes that instead of yardage assigned to each penalty. Fairly annoying if you're trying to keep track at home.

LOL...in the post-game I even prefaced it with "Mike, I know you don't want to hear this but it's for Bombers fans..." I didn't get much past "...tying Bud..." before he took the headset off joking "Oh, can't hear you...static" 🤣

As I read the CBA, teams have to spend a *minimum* of $110,000 per year on "Non-Football Related Services". That $110K counts under the Total Salary Expenditure Cap (this season it's $5.635 million. Up to $5.76 million next season). The thought that it doesn't count against the cap is mostly correct. I don't see anything in the CBA that mentions a maximum for "Non-Football Related Services". What I've heard is that the CFL wants teams to "just be cool" about it (ie. don't go nuts and spend a zillion dollars there). It's got to be a tricky spot for owners collectively. If one decides to spendspendspend I can't imagine the rest could do much to stop him. And if I was the players union I would want a MAJOR concession to put a specified limit on that money.

In the Montreal game they lined up Haba as a standup rusher inside...I counted 6 snaps of that. It was always with Kyrie and Cole at LB, and then Willie & Fox as proper DEs.

It turned out as a little of both. A trainer runs on and gives players some water, and there's a ******* with the flow of the Bombers O. But at a point the officials caught their mistake, and they do start to run the clock with the 20-second clock. (Collaros had to point out that the clock and play clock weren't running together and the officials fixed it.

O'Shea also pointed to something I hadn't thought of on the PI...that Amos's leg is turning Demski's lower body.

The only full series Jefferson has missed was Calgary's 1-play drive that ended with Ford's interception. They may have been planning to sit him for a late Ottawa drive. But then Bonds got hurt and Jefferson came back in for the next play. I have him missing 9 defensive snaps through 5 games. For Thomas, he sat out 16 snaps in the first game (they were running a bunch of 3 LB package with Cole/Karamoko). And 19 total in the four games since then.

Here's what I've got: Jefferson: 283 snaps, 13 pressures Thomas: 257, 9 Adams: 148, 4 Woods: 117, 0 Hubert: 96, 0 Fayad: 71, 4 Fox: 66, 0 Schmekel: 47, 1 Haba: 30, 3

99% sure they'll bring Lucky Ogbevoen onto the roster at DE for this week. See what he can do and bridge to Garbutt's return next week.
