October 16, 20222 yr comment_602531 They should really change that rule. It kinda punishes kickers for managing to have the ball settle in the field of play near the sideline, which sometimes is what you want.

On a kickoff the receiving player can step out of bounds, stay out of bounds, and files the ball in bounds and it is considered an illegal kickoff. Illegal participation is where a player goes out of bounds without being forced out and re-enters the files of play to play the ball. Here the BC player deliberately stepped out of bounds and fielded the ball, which makes the ball out of bounds. If that’s the rule,fine. Seems weird tho.Â
October 16, 20222 yr comment_602533 I hope BC feels really good about that win... because the bombers treating it like a preseason game gave them all they could handle and with some better kicking likely win the game.  BC gonna get it handed to them in Winnipeg no matter who the bombers choose to play. 2 minutes ago, Rod Black said: If that’s the rule,fine.

Here the BC player deliberately stepped out of bounds and fielded the ball, which makes the ball out of bounds. Tricky interpretation. If he's standing on the sideline and field the ball in the air, or on a bounce, sure. He's got one foot in, one out and picks the ball off the turf in bounds. IMO that's illegal participation. Here's the relevant section bolded to emphasize the particular situation: It is illegal for a player of either team to go out of bounds, without contact with an opponent, and to reach back into or re-enter the field of play to touch or recover a loose ball.

October 16, 20222 yr comment_602541 It's pretty lame a guy can voluntarily step out of bounds but the ball isn't and that's a penalty on the kicker  That's illegal participationÂ

October 16, 20222 yr comment_602543 I hope if Rourke plays and is carted off the field that the lions and their medical staff along with tsn who was pushing the narrative all night are held responsible. This is like the Tua stuff from nfl but our media seems to want to rush back the injured playerÂ
October 16, 20222 yr comment_602546 I still think this is BC trying to sell hope and or trying to play mind games with their potential playoff opponents. VAJ or Rourke it doesn't matter. We can handle those ***** cats.

I get the illegal kick off if the receiving player catches the ball out of bounds, but the pigskin laying on the field, hard to understand. It’s possible the ref was convinced by the BC player. It better get sorted our for every game from here if the ref was wrong. Edited October 16, 20222 yr by Rod Black

We can handle those ***** cats. I honestly can't believe Rourke's agent would let him play in a competitive game 10 weeks after an injury with a 6 month timeline given his obvious shot at the NFL this off-season when he's at full health. That right there is negligent.

Faint hope for Rourkes early return.Â

But fielding it on the turf, one foot in, one foot out is illegal participation..."reaching back into the field of play"

The only thing I've been thinking is that they've been in contact with people in the NFL and they want to see something specific on tape.

October 16, 20222 yr comment_602560 Imagine Rourke spends another season in the CFL at $65,000 plus incentives because he tweaks his foot and needs another surgery on it. Then in that next CFL season comes down to earth. The NFL is out the window at that point. It's all about timing, and his time to make that NFL jump is RFN.

I don’t disagree with you that this seems inconsistent, especially when his deliberate intent seems clear here. I am looking into a possible explanation as to why the rule is the way it is, hopefully my source can give me a coherent answer.Â
October 16, 20222 yr comment_602564 Nothing to hang our heads about tonight. BC acting like they won the Grey Cup says all you need to know about their team and ours considering we were playing with what was essentially a B team. All that said... - For a first start I was very impressed with Dru Brown. He certainly played better than Adams and you could say he looked better than Cornelius or anything that Ottawa has trotted out all year. - Grant, as previously stated is just fine. - Our special teams kick and punt coverage is not. - Not going to harp on Legs too much. I wonder if he was maybe getting under the ball a bit too much on those kicks considering the kick he made in Saskatchewan, and I highly doubt our coaching staff would trot him out if they felt those kicks were outside his range. - Desmond Lawrence may not want to unpack the rest of his belongings since he arrived in town. Time for another apple and a road map. - BA looked awesome! Re-establishing that physical presence over the middle. - Really happy for Rasheed Bailey. He's mostly been an after thought behind Demski, Schoen and Ellingson. A great leader and foot soldier who got rewarded tonight for all he does. - Don't love not trying the onside kick, but nothing I'll lose sleep over in a meaningless game. - Stamps or Lions, don't care. Bombers by 30 in the west final.
