You have that kicking around by the end of the year just based on savings from guys on the 6-game. They didnt have that 300k this year. They had to re-work the remaining VAJ contract to fit under the cap. That's with Montreal picking up the early portion of his deal, Woody Baron only playing 6 games and Stove missing the entire year.

Adding a starting QB mid season is obviously different than rosterbuilding in the off season. No question they’re are going to have to make a couple of tough choices, but it’s not that big of a deal. The loss of talent at the QB position is the bigger issue.
November 15, 20222 yr comment_609545 Did Augustine get any touches? Thinking he may have been able to bust one later in the game.

Just pointing out that they didn't have anywhere near 300k just kicking around. They got the IR savings you talked about but still had to maneuver to make the deal happen. They loaded up on non-QB's during FA and left themselves very little wiggle room. Some GM's are just better at it than others. We added Collaros during the season with out issue. Walters always seems to have that cap space tucked away. They do have VAJ under contract through 2023 so they aren't completely hooped if they lose Rourke to the NFL. He's obviously not their preferred QB but given the other options out there, he's not the worst they could be stuck with.

He doesn't even need to throw a ball down south, as long as he gets released. The rest of the nonsense to start a useless fight. So, just the usual, self-important, useless drivel. Yep, as you say here we go again. 15 hours ago, Bigblue204 said: Rourke had a horrible game. Not just first Q. He missed a bunch of throws all night long. That may have been the worse game I've seen from him all season. Superman had a bad game. Nah, that can't be. Kid Canada is the greatest. Just ask Suitor & the panel.

November 15, 20222 yr comment_609576 16 hours ago, Wanna-B-Fanboy said: Just a little clarification if anyone is interested: ridiculous rule. blocked punt is very exciting play. NFL kicker injuries. "There were 488 total injuries over the 20-year period: 72% involved the lower extremity, 9% involved the lumbosacral spine, and 7% involved the head. Muscle-tendon injuries (49%) were the most common, followed by ligamentous injuries (17%). There was a significantly higher risk of injury in games (17.7 per 1000) than during practice (1.91 per 1000). Most injuries (93%) did not require surgery" Edited November 15, 20222 yr by Mark F

November 15, 20222 yr comment_609596 I remember discussing the rule change earlier this year and thinking it was dumb. Thought it would make blocking punts much more difficult...and we saw the results.
November 15, 20222 yr comment_609603 Rod Hill blocked a ton of punts without running into the kicker. O’Shea said the team practices it as well taking a line that will not end up going into the punter. Just take a better angle to avoid the punter. Rule makes sense, we are in the age where protecting players is becoming more important given what we now know about long term effects of certain injuries. I have no problem with the rule.

November 15, 20222 yr comment_609656 I think they made the rule after this Ian Wild block and he hurt the kicker real bad. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/07/27/fumble-turns-into-wild-touchdown-for-the-bombers/

For the push to be relevant in not calling rtk, you would think it would have to physically change the trajectory of the player?

Wild didn't hit the penalty leg... he went through the kicking leg (fine if ball is blocked) and into the punters body

Wild was just there for the scoop and score
