2024-2025 CFL (non-Bomber) off-season discussion

[TecnoGenius]

Riderfans peanut gallery says McEwen likely out for the season (or at least a very long time).  Likely jack-of-all-trades Ferland moving to C, which is kind of a waste of his talents.

I wonder... if we had tons of success with Wallace and/or the 2 sophomore IMP OL and/or the new DPs and/or the new IMP rookies... could we use Eli for trade-bait to SSK?  Do we have anyone else in reserve that can play C?

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Didn't the same thing happen to Yoshi last season?  Was it TC or PS or early weeks for him?  Whatever, he missed the whole season and was a bust of an acquisition (at least for 1 year).

Maybe SSK is doing something weird/rough in camps.  They seem to have bad luck with camp injuries.

Hardrick got hurt in week 6 last year in game against the Lions.

And there's zero chance we trade Tua Eli.

It's football. We didn't have much luck in camp lastyear either.

Conspiracy theory #4, it has something to do with playing on newly installed turf.

Game today.....Calgary at B.C. May 19th 1 p.m. Pacific standard time.

Game played in Victoria, sold out in ten minutes.

Maybe the ongoing boycott will boost CFL a bit.

CFL media presence is not great.

It will be streamed on CFL+

Looks like Rourke is starting for the Lions. Interesting to see head coach Buck Pierce.

P.J. Walker starts for Stamps.  https://www.stampeders.com/players/p-j-walker/160964/

If you have a good vpn set to USA should allow you to stream it.

But Yeah they do not make it easy.

You do not need a VPN to watch the pre-season games on CFL+ (except for the ones TSN are showing on TV). They region lock it during the season so that TSN gets the Canadian viewership but since they're not showing most of the pre-season games you just need to go to the CFL+ page and enter an email and you can watch for free without doing anything else.

Wow, I consider myself a pretty decent football fan, and have been watching the NHL playoffs, but I have never heard a peep about CFL preseason in any sports telecast. Why is this??

Because the sky is blue.

Riders have lots of CDN OL depth.  All good
