I thought about this a little, it makes no sense to me that Walters wouldn't always be trying to sign guys to longer deals. It makes his life easier in every way. So I don't believe he's operating any differently.

But it does make sense that players/agents didn't want to sign for longer than 1 year when that's all the coach and GM were signed on for.

putting on technos hat for conspiracies maybe it was for Job security..see how many players I signed every year? Who they gonna get to sign all these guys

I think if the Bombers don't find a Canadian safety in FA, Cam Allen is the odds on favorite to win that position in TC. He has 10 games CFL experience and understanding our D, will give him an advantage.

Never any doubt.  He's a MOS fave.  Anyone have any $ numbers?

And once again, a 2 or 3 year contract.  My KW theory looks more solid every signing announcement.  Keep 'em coming!  I want every "important" player locked in 2 & 3 years.

Ah, I see it now!  Thanks.  I'll try again next Huddle.  This time I missed the draw by maybe 15 mins.  Odds are pretty good since it's usually under 50 watching!

People generally appreciate humble and kind people. That secret formula is to just be a good person. I agree with you that with far too many people (I'm talking beyond football), this "code" is apparently a secret still, unfortunately.

Ya, but the cute dogs... that's a whole extra level that makes him impervious to hate.  That's the cheat code.

AH was never particularly mean or snotty or rough -- his pressers were mostly affable -- and yet he wasn't immune to the hate.

19 of 36 is not very good, considering no injury time.

But we (almost) always ease DBs into their role.  We didn't know we had some who may have been close to D.Alford caliber.  Or maybe we didn't care as we thought he had to put in his dev dues like everyone else.

Plus, even at that time, our DB schemes were complex and you can't just throw a rookie on the field.  They do have to learn how it all works.

I went in my old roster pile and Ford was often behind Parker in 2022.  Rose was the other side.

Brady just said late in The Huddle you gotta keep the 55 YL.  Way to go Brady!

Please provide your theories on why the CFL is changing the field size.

Part of my theory is they are doing it as a humiliation and demoralization ritual, like so much in our society & politics right now.  It's change for change sake and "we don't give a poop if you don't like it -- in fact we like that you don't like it".

And they poke that bear further by trying to gaslight us that "55YL wasn't really important", "no one thought it was a defining CFL characteristic", "hey look at all these other CFL-isms that aren't changing".  Since it's absurd, it furthers the demoralization.

There's other reasons too, but this may be the crux, and it may be due to the evil ultimate owners of TSN, and thus the ultimate leash-holders of the league.  Also, I think Johnston isn't a CFL fan in the slightest, is a slimy used car salesman, and wants to stamp the biggest, ugliest mark on the league right away as a power move.

Hey, you asked!

Does anyone know how you make it so you're part of draw for the jersey they usually do in The Huddle?  I can't see anything to click, and I don't usually use youtube.
