Last post by Stats Junkie - Today at 07:03:17 AMI finally got around to watching the game tonight - I was in Langford on Saturday.
At 1:51 of Q4 Mathew Sexton touched the punted ball, went out of bounds without contact and then returned to the field of play where he recovered the ball.
According to the 2025 CFL Rule Book, a player who goes out of bounds without contact cannot re-enter the field of play to recover a loose ball. The penalty is loss of ball (LB) at point of foul (PF)
Based on this information, it should have been Winnipeg football 1st and 10 at the 19 yard line.

That's what I thought too (my guess was $110k) but in the Corcoran-will-never-be-Demski discussion someone posted a 3down link that supposedly said $150k. Seems quite high for '18 -- back when money was worth something.

Last post by Blueforlife - Today at 04:11:45 AMKicking consistently as a rookie isn't as easy as some make it out to be.
It's also more important to be consistent than having a big leg imo. The trend of other teams having big leg kickers has skewed the narrative imo. Some keys are net punting, avoiding blocks, ball security and not giving on majors.
Like all positions in football, experience is king, which Sheehan has in spades.
We have a good punter. Nice to have competition, also nice to depend on a position that impacts a great deal of field position.
Paying 3 to 1 he sticks.
Directional kicking, the ability to kick into the wind and in bad weather > big leg imo. Was lot of bird served last year regarding Sheehan.
Bring me a Canadian with experience or that can do both jobs at least at an average level, now we talking.
I likely wouldn't carry a punter or kickers on the PR.
Holding for FG key.

Do vet guarantees kick in this early in the season? Pretty sure we've cut vets in TC before?

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:55:18 AMQuote from: Pigskin on May 25, 2026, 07:33:59 PMThe also need to figure out who there SY guy is going to be.
Was there a single SY play in PS1?? I can't recall one. We had that 1-2Y from goal TD, but we did the "we never do that" thing of going under C and handing off to Brady. (And only his second effort got it over the GL.)
Does that mean we have NO SY game right now?? This is bad news. We'll never know if we were going to keep Wilson on AR as SY... maybe Wilson's MOS discussion was "am I the #2 and heir to #1 or just the perennial SY guy a la Marve?" -- and he didn't like the answer.
My gut says Elgersma is SY, as Perkins really doesn't seem the type at all. You want an old man who never really did SY as the guy? At least Elgersma has some beef/height like Stevens. And youth.
Or, is this why Thorne came back?.... I wonder... Can anyone speak to Thorne's body & ability vis a vis SY?? Zach (Perkins|Elgersma) Thorne? The #2 loser to PR?

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:50:48 AMQuote from: dd on May 25, 2026, 11:00:02 PMI d leave Collaros in until the offense is hitting on all cylinders/have their timing figured out at game speed. We don't want a repeat of last year when the offense looked awful to start the season off, and I know you have to evaluate new players but lets get the offense clicking before we sub out
Correct. No one forget that MOS explicitly said many times in the last months that he made a mistake in '25 by not tuning/practicing his starters more in TC/PS. That means a LOT more time for the desired line-up in PS2, and injury risk be darned.
They may have looked good throwing the ball just to White, but they were horribly stinky on the ground. Contrast to how SSK played: they looked like a team at labor day and first in the league.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:46:17 AMI could see Daniels and Gatkouth both not making the AR. I saw nothing insanely good that made them a "must roster now!". You could easily park them on PR and re-evaluate after a few months of practice/training. On the other hand, I could also see Daniels/Ike both being rostered and Peterson going to PR. Ike has been flashing, which is very good for him, as he was a potential bubble player.
If someone has to be sacrificed I think it's Kelly. Before TC I would have also said Ball, but he seems to be progressing well. I haven't heard Hallett's name at all, so he may be another sacrifice. He has tons of knowledge and experience but I think he's one that MOS says always keeps to himself so that's useless as the wise old leader. Cadwall probably wins that role.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:41:45 AMQuote from: Blue In BC on Today at 03:30:29 AMIf it's the same leg, it's a BIG problem / re-occurence.
The rubs & looks I saw in the MTL PS game he was looking at that same right hammy.
