This seems like a rule that is destined to be taken advantage of by crafty teams. How exactly they plan to prevent teams from having a Canadian player go down to an "injury" when they aren't really injured is going to be key. How badly injured to they need to be? I would think that at the very least when an import vet comes in for an injured Canadian that player should not be allowed to re-enter the game and needs to miss the next game at the very least.
May 19, 20196 yr comment_392154 Then Derek Taylor throws out this little stat...I don’t have an overwhelming range of stats for LBs, but Konar missed 23% of his tackle opportunities in last two seasons. Average for a LB is about 15%

How is it enforced? Do we need to make officials jobs more complicated? Do imports who qualify get a sticker on their helmet or what?

Average for a LB is about 15% Which doesn’t even factor in the tackles he can’t attenpt because of poor reads. We’ve beat Edmonton several times by picking on that guy.

There's already issues where teams will fake injuries to get the bombers out of their hurry up offense. Now you can fake an injury to get another american starter.

You think a Canadian is going to sign up to start and then fake an injury? Seems pretty gutless.

Well imagine a scenario though where we are starting Jake Thomas and he comes out of the game with a minor injury and Drake Nevis goes in. How eager will Bombers coaching staff be to re-insert Thomas back into the game?

I'll get back to you with my conclusion when I return.
