Back to Back Champs vs Hillbillies early talk
Not at all. Clements has been consistently isolated by all of our opponents and he's pretty consistently failed the test. Edmonton's not even worth celebrating. The three teams Clements has started against that have a reasonable offense have torched him. It's a pretty big weakness in our coverages. Glad to see the adjustment last week to put Bighill out there and let Gauthier fill gaps to slow up Calgary's run. I get the point of having a backup receiver, but I don't get why a guy wouldn't be integrated more even if he's covering every other kickoff. Like build a couple packages that have him in there for Bailey or whoever. He's that body type of receiver that usually has pretty good success with Collaros style too.

I did. No 81. Our special teams units are basically the same guys, swap snapper/kicker for a couple backers on kickoffs. No 81. 00, 3, 24, 25, 27, 32, 34, 41, 44, 45, 47 was the main crew last week. Will have some changes with Kramdi and Thompson back this week.

Watch all the games over and chart them. If you want to look they are on YouTube. No 81 on any special team. Parker and Ford gun on punt, the rest are backs and backers. Same guys plus Bighill and Clements on kickoff cover and return.

Harrison doesn't play special teams at all, return or cover. He's got one snap between the lines in 4 games. Gotta think they can integrate him into the offense in some capacity soon.

Have extra import on both sides of the ball. Lots of flexibility in packages for D. 8 DL plus Maruo who plays wide rush end a lot in our 30 fronts...no excuse to not get a ton of pressure. LB's need to finish run plays. Maybe Harrison's breakout game. He got one snap vs Calgary in the 4th quarter on the long second down conversion right after the 3 minute warning. Hope it's Ford or Demski catching punts and not Taylor. We don't need to give the Riders any hope with a shitty special teams turnover. Injured. I'd like to see Cole on D a bit to see if he's better able to read plays and manage those pass/run keys that the WIL backer up here needs to. As a WIL Clements is a nice special teams player...has been a total fail on D.

Labour Day Week non Back-to-Back Champs games
TSN production team in Montreal is just awful. They don't need to put their mics right by the noise. The whole point is to isolate the sound you want. It's 2022. It'll be 110 decibels in IGF and Mosaic but somehow the production teams there know how to adjust the levels so you can hear commentary.

Montreal should be getting called for having their OL 10 yards downfield on a pass across the LOS.

The last 3 drives every pass is double crosser with the tailback protecting. Uncanny.

Montreal needs a new passing play.

I think if Lapo goes 1-1 or 0-2 in these next two he gets canned during the bye the week after.

Lapo just can't resist wasting his challenge in the first quarter.

Injury Report, Lineup Changes, Roster Moves
Looks like both USD and Monmouth used Cooper as what would basically be a rush end in Canadian football. Interesting that he's listed as a DB unless it's a typo.

Yeah the guys who had to come in to solidify the D and win the game last week when Clements couldn't stop his head from spinning.

UND. Sask had him neg listed.

Don't mind losing Clements at this point. Add extra import DL, rotate 8.

The guys who clear waivers don't have to join the PR of the team that cut them. They are free agents. Quite possible Desjarlais shopped for the best opportunity.

It vests at 55 and if you've made $5 million or $10 million or $20 million that pension should seriously be moot. They do gain access to a mutual fund called a 401k in the US if they make the benefit cut off, but it's up to them to invest their money into it.
-

No and I doubt that's even a huge factor TBH. A $20,000 a year pension when you're making $200,000 on PR. Invest it well.

2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
Assume Adams has a large bonus structure of guaranteed cash so his weekly cheques aren't that huge. Adams weekly pay probably about $6000 per game, maybe a bonus for playing 50% of snaps each week. Rourke around $4000 a week plus bonuses. BC has 8 games left so they probably need to cover about $20,000 hard money to acquire Adams. They've had three big money guys on 6 game, two of them for the whole season. It all just needs to add up at the end.

Yeah and Ambrosie picked the Montreal ownership group fronted by a 90 year olds wallet over at least one other option that was both more capitalized and ambitious for potentially taking ownership of the stadium or building their own. Stern affects the whole league by running a franchise into the ground that the rest of the league has to decide to fold or fund now. Sure it's Ambrosie's fault he's in that position.

The equivalent is a Bomber board member storming into Kyle Walters office to insist he doesn't trade Dakota Prukop. Imagine that. Good for the league to have morons like Stern off the sideline and back on their couch watching on TSN.

They have/had a couple vets on D on 6 game. Adams likely had significant bonuses as part of his deal, upfront money, so his actual salary won't be that big of a hit.

No owner in a functional organization is reaching that deep into football operations.

25% owner blocking trade talks for a QB the GM/coach refuses to even dress. Yeah Stern was an idiot.

Think it's gonna depend on how much interest there was in guys. Like for Lenius it was limited. For others it was much more. Even if you don't get on a PR week 1 there's what, 200 injuries/cuts a week in the NFL? If you land on a PR for half a NFL season you make more than you can in hard money for the rest of the CFL season. Can see some of the Canadians coming up. For the Americans it's potentially more of a pain in the ass to not make much hard money if they live in the US.
