Kelly has been clean two years. I used to hate him also but I really like winning and really Rourke, Alexander and Kelly are going to be the ones winning cups for the next few years. With Kelly being available you have to find a way.

Unless the Bombers fix their Offensive Line woes, it won't matter which QB they poach - they won't be able to provide the required 3 seconds of protection, and any of these QB's performance would dropoff unless they had a super-quick release (on every play?) or were extremely scrambly (which increases their chances of injury).

Zach was limited in practice today. So, at the very least he will be coming off the 6 game injury list this week.

Help us Obi-wan, you're our only hope.

Re: The Ratio:

1. 2 types, Canadian, Non-Canadian
2. Min 10 Canadian's per team
3. Min 5 starters

= Better football, shorter careers, equally hard GM job

It would be a start.

Run the math. The CBA guarantees the sms gets a fixed cut of increased revenues. They already spelled out what the dazn revenue will be. Figure out what it is per year. Apply the CBA cut...

Boom. There's your massive sms boost. And a huge chunk will go to taking the best qbs from 600-750k all in to over 1M.

Simple math. That's why I'm screaming all the time about the dangers of the dazn deal. It's so easy to jack up the sms. Not so easy to lower it when dazn goes away. You tell Alexander his 1M is going back to 600k!

I take exception to that reasoning overall. As it applies to Oliveria possibly even more so. He has 2 years left on his current deal. He's going to be 32 years old when he's up for a new deal.

It's very likely he won't still be the top RB in the CFL.

Math schmath. If the CFL is able to pay that amount for any player then they will be able to recruit better imports and spread that across a larger group of players than singling out anyone besides a QB. That's NFL money.

We don't know what will come out of the next CBA deal. There have long been supporters to raise salaries from the bottom up rather than the top down.

Current ELC is about $74K. If the revenues go up significantly that could be raise ELC levels accordingly.

When you study the plays enough you start to visualize and identify the schemes and personnel.

I know nothing about how kick coverage works and tsn never talks about it, and it's never talked about here. But I've picked up the gist with all my slow mo studying. What I'm missing is the nomenclature, outside of the word gunner.

I fully agree that this part of Canadian football needs more of a spotlight and talk. I'd love to learn more about it. I'd pay for some 2 hour workshop at pas where Miller or someone explains the schemes and verbiage. It could even just be in the film room.

I used to re-watch every game at least once during the season and then again during the off season. I don't do that as much any more. My focus was more on watching defence and offence because we can see more happening at the LOS than we can on ST's. I might watch a given play 3 or 4 times but without any slo mo to understand what went right or wrong.

Terminology has changed over the years and is hard to keep up with these days. My effort is to analyze strategy or specific player performances across many games.

Your idea of a workshop is a good one and I think would help a lot of fans understand more about the game.

Tremendous, jump outta one's seat, jubilation, when KFC potted
the winner. My gosh how satisfying that felt

Stuuuuuuu was terrific and the Dmen certainly picked up the slack when JMo left the game
