Blue In BC

I suppose they could take him off early since he's been on IR for longer than 7 games. Not sure if that means subject to SMS hit for any games beyond 12 ( two 6 game IR stints )? In the case of Rose and Wilson they moved them from 6 game to 1 game IR. That's what I would have expected if they plan on seeing Hansen moved to AR soon.

CFL.CA shows Hansen extended on 6 game IR to Nov 3????????

He could return for the last part of the CFL season and still be eligible for an NFL option deal going into 2024.

There were many reasons for our defeat. Essentially no group played 60 minute football. It only takes a couple of errors to lose a game. We gave up 3 points early because of a turnover. Houston and then Rose tried to undercut a pass resulting in a 108 yard TD drive for the Riders. Collaros had 29 yards passing in the 1st half. Schoen dropped a couple. Lawler dropped on. Our coverage and return games were as bad as we've seen in recent years. I wasn't impressed with the play calling on offence or defence.

Anybody have any idea what this new scheme is and why it still doesn't work by game 12? IMO it's just O'Shea saying it's a new scheme to shield the bad results and the players taking heat. Seriously. Kick and cover. It's not a new thing in football of any type.

We'll see if they take any action. It should be announced today if they do. Of course it gets appealed and will not be processed before the season ends. As far as the 25 yard penalty and disqualification I agree. That said we were already on the 4 yard line so the penalty yardage wouldn't have changed much.

I thought the new CBA changed the ELC min to about $72K? EDIT: According to the new collective bargaining agreement, the 2023 salary cap is set at $5,450,000 (average $121,111 per active roster spot) As per the agreement, the cap is fixed and will not vary with league revenue performance until 2024. The minimum player salary is set at $71,000.

+1. There are also some older vets like Miller and Benson that might be in their last season. Augudosi is probably on a 1 year deal and he isn't on the AR at the moment. He may or may not even be offered a new deal for 2024. The 2024 team will be different. How different is just speculation but some good points are being made on how some of this might sort out.

Augustine and Oliveria are earning nearly the same money @ $92K more or less. CFL ELC deal is about $72K?

Wear and tear on players is cumulative during the season. I don't want to see someone like Jeffcoat on field for every play for every game and then have nothing left at the end of the season. Conversely if he's injured then having another DL like Garbutt or Fox would be critical.

While that's true it's a short term statement even if we're winning. New players need to be in the development process while we're winning. I don't want to wait until game 18 and find out we lost a bunch of starters in game 17.

It could be argued that the defence against the Redblacks was tired in the 2nd half and played into losing. Obviously 2 turnovers including a pick 6 didn't help. However, you could see the defence was gassed due to a lack of rotational players.

The defence going offside still doesn't allow the offensive player to cross the LOS before the ball is snapped.

What am I waiting for?

You got your wish. We have nobody until Haba recovers.

I think Parker is more suited to DHB than CB. So the real question is Rose better NOW than ADS who might be the player replaced. If the team feels Rose is not better then maybe we can trade him.

Did you consider that Rose should be available for the next game and does that change your thought?

Yeah, I mentioned in TC that I liked Karamoko. The problem was once we added a global kicker that only left one position for another global. As soon as Hansen returns that spot will be filled by him. If not for injuries we've had a LB, Karamoko could have been the other global on the AR instead of Maruo. OTOH I kind of like Maruo as well. I guess we'll see if we drop any global players once Hansen is re-inserted to the AR. We don't need 4 on the PR to cover 2 spots.

I've been wondering why we've kept Machino on the PR for a 2nd year. I don't think he's a possible OT candidate and we have import PR players for that. Our Guard back ups are Canadians so that's covered. I think Karamoko is not a bad back up if you need a global player to add but he hasn't moved ahead of import starters at DB and we have 3 imports on our IR. When Hansen comes back from IR, that will bump Mauro to the PR. Then what? As mentioned our DL depth on the PR is near zero at the moment. Only Fox is there. It was not good in 2022 so I think it's fair to take exception about some of the roster management. Why are we keeping a 36 year old punter on the PR?

He played very well.

Demski's fiance gave birth to a baby girl on Monday night. Congratulations.

If Demski can play then Murphy would be the odd man out IMO.

Rod Hill had 5 in one game. Not sure if anyone else had a pick that game. Makes you wonder why a QB would keep throwing in his direction?

Nobody is asking for an airlift per se but our IR has grown recently. We could use a look see of a couple of ST types. Exume comes to mind as an ex-Bomber. Bombers did bring in Mohammed as depth when many of our DB's got nicked. So I can imagine we might see a few new faces next week depending on injury status. May need to replace Kramdi for a couple of games for example. 1 game IR may be longer than that.

Jeffcoat was only on the 6 game IR for 2 weeks. So Lawrence may have an issue that is indeterminate and he could be back sooner as well. OTOH, Rose may be back before him since he was running but not practising last week. Musical chairs somewhat with our injuries and return dates not known by us posters. A few of them may be ready soon technically. Whether their injury status allows that IDK.
