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

[TecnoGenius]

Is this what you're talking about? It'll still work?

Yup.  Get & keep those links within 24 hrs of gameday and you can watch them (much) later.

I just checked and the week 1 BC game is still playable.  Might have to reload the page if the stream breaks, then skip ahead to where you were.  Or I guess watch an unofficial youtube post... though one would think CFL would put takedown orders on those eventually.

More effort than it is worth. Replay value of old games has to be near zero after a couple of days.

Kody Case transferred to " league suspension ". Is this just some sort of paper transaction to get Lawson activated or is there more to it?

Maybe he had to go home for personal reasons, but a receiver competing for his job would be a weird choice to make for a paper transaction over a vet that's already secured a job.

Saw a rumour yesterday that Argonauts QB Cameron Dukes was injured in their pre-season game. Reports today that Dukes is in street clothes and the signing of Jarret Doege suggest that there might be something to this.

A quick #Argos pronunciation change. Deonta McMahon would prefer to be called MACK-ma-HAWN, the way his family pronounces it. He didn't correct people calling him mick-MANN simply because everybody has always pronounced it that way. #CFL

I didn't think he had a good chance to make the roster this season. Too many new faces. Not even practising or playing this week is not a good sign.

O'Shea didn't elaborate on why D. Mitchell wasn't here today. I suppose he could have gotten nicked but he seems to have dropped down the depth chart unless the coaches know something we don't.  IE: He shouldn't just get handed a starting position.

I think Case has been injured, but haven't heard any details.

That may be true. However the team would have the option of putting him on the 1 game IR for a minor injury as they did with Logan.

Regardless, there are about 10 import receivers fighting for 2 spots on the AR. Another 2 perhaps on the PR.

Final cuts are this weekend so we'll see how this works out. Sometimes a guy could get released and get another chance to be re-signed when healthy. All of that depends on where everybody else ranked in the final assessment.

Doege, LOL.  Desperation time.  We should have kept Patterson just so we could have gotten a 2RDP to trade him to TOR.

On the bright side, the whole world will get to see if Arbuckle just got lucky in the GC or if he is the next legit CFL starter.  If he is, he may be the biggest sleeper in the history of the CFL.

You're probably thinking about the wrong Doege, this isn't the one that played for Sask., Jarret was on the Elks PR for a couple of years and looked pretty good in last year pre-season games.

Who knows, was surprised they brought Case back this year, but he is one of the few receivers that can also returns kicks so I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him around on the PR.  Really hoping Cobb can dress for the next game and get a look at receiver and returner, I think he'll impress with the energy he brings. Potentially a JFG level player.

Man TO is in tough with its Qb situation, first they lose Kelly , now Dukes. I shutter to think what would happen if Collaros goes down and Strev is hurt, we'd be in full desparation mode too!!  At least Toronto has last years GC MVP to bring in!! And we'll see if it was a fluke or not

[Stats Junkie]

A photo from today's Argos practice shows all 5 QBs in uniform - no helmet for Chad Kelly. Whatever it was with Dukes seems to have been minor.

Two Doeges?  LOL.  Git along little Doeges, git along.

Well, I'd rather roll the dice with unknown Doege than known-mediocre Doege!  And so would TOR.

JA27 had a nice PS game. 5/51 yards, 1 TD, 10.2 Avg. 28 longest. I hope he has a big year.
