If you mean some penalty for hoggies blocking downfield (nothing to do with catches) then you're on.  $100

Here you go.  You can transfer me the $100.

In CFL (Canadian Football League) rules, an ineligible receiver downfield is a penalty called against the offensive team when a forward pass is thrown and an ineligible player (typically an offensive lineman) is beyond the line of scrimmage before the pass is thrown. This penalty results in a 10-yard penalty from the previous spot of the down. The rule aims to balance player safety and offensive opportunities.
Key points about the rule:
Ineligible Player:
In the CFL, players who are not wearing eligible receiver numbers (50-69) are considered ineligible receivers, even if they line up in an eligible position.
Line of Scrimmage:
Ineligible players are restricted from advancing beyond one yard past the line of scrimmage before the ball is thrown.
Downfield:
If an ineligible player crosses that one-yard mark before the pass is thrown, it's a penalty.
Penalty:
The penalty for an ineligible receiver downfield is 10 yards from the previous spot.

Case won't be a problem anymore lol.

Exactly what I thought.  Now we get to see Mitchell.  Sucks for case, looks like a break.

Goveia spent the extra $400k SMS, and that's why he has Kenny.  We pretended the $400k didn't exist and we'll only have one capable REC until Schoen or Pokey returns.

Drop Bridges, put parker at CB, then lay Griffin at S. passing situations, Paul Wilson, and put Griffin closer to the line of scrimmage put Hall in at safety and just have him drop back and help cover anything deep which Parker has struggled to do. It seems or drop sterns and start cob or Corcoran. The production will not change too much offensively.

Disagree dropping Bridges
Disagree Parker at corner, too old for that
Griffen play well in his role no change needed
Hall? Put our coach in?
Sterns looks ok today, Cobb I'm curious for
Corcoran needs time to season, not good to rush
I don't have the answer for our secondary
Vaval hurt doesn't help our case

If you just copy pasted the AI answer from Google, that's not a source. It seems to be summarizing the NFL rule.

Not to say it's not in the CFL rule book, but you still can't point out to Techno where it is.

Laughing at a person's serious injury is as disrespectful as it gets

He was our only returner at the moment

I'll be calling Monday night and asking the coach.  Or I'll just talk to other officials such as myself and get the rule number for him.

Well, 3 straight embarrassing loses. We haven't seen this since 2014, before the turn around.

[TecnoGenius]

Oh, and in no way is this about players in general (not just hoggies) blocking downfield before the pass.  I'm not betting about that!

You are saying there is the "hoggie illegally downfield" thing that they call in the NFL all the time.

There are rules that NO ONE can block downfield before the pass EXCPET on behind-LoS passes.  That's called fairly often in CFL.  It's "Illegal Interference - Blocking Downfield", but it is not unique to hoggies -- it applies to EVERYONE.

[dd]

There is literally no such rule in the book.  I just checked for anything with "ineligible" in it.

Yes, the hoggies can't catch a ball unless they report as eligible... but that's not what you're talking about.  You're talking about hoggies running downfield to block... and that's perfectly allowed in the CFL.

Rule 6, section 4, article 9, written in plain black and white as jdrattops said. You armchair officials make me laugh and there's a few of you

[blueandgoldguy]

Even in garbage time Streveler can't drive the field for Tds.

Person is fine. Still in.

Thank you DD

Forget AI.  Show me this in the rulebook.  The words you cite do not exist there.

Cite me the section/article/rule in the current book.

Parker is 27, Bridges is 28.

Our defense is not playing well. In 2019 we moved Alexander from HB to safety mid season and look how that turned out.

I meant Hallett, silly auto correct.

So wait, you don't have an answer for our secondary, but you know my answer is wrong. Maybe expand your horizons and see how others see. You can't say you don't know what to do with our secondary but also say that absolutely nothing should change. If anything, you're proving my point. Sure, maybe my answers aren't right but at least i'm trying here. You're just shooting down any other option and admitting you don't have any alternative options besides the status quo, which isn't working.

I can't understand why you're so scared of playing rookies but so okay with mediocre or below average veterans except because your fandom lets known players be passable regardless of results but rookies are an unfamiliar quantity which you can't support. And i'm not trying to be personal, i'm trying to understand your point, which you have not explained besides the absolute bare minimum.

thanks - confirm the definition of a screen pass is ONLY behind the LOS, i am pretty sure they commonly use the term for a middle play where defense is allowed to rush and the ball is thrown over the LOS to the RB.

the penalty you referred to is called a lot more in the NFL - especially last season
