Wow, didn't notice anything amiss while watching live or on TV... anyone know when these occurred?  I like to keep up on what the league is getting in a wad about.

It'd sure be nice if the CFL included a video package along with their fine announcements so fans coaches and refs. could get a better handle on what they see as egregious.

That would be useful and logical!  So guaranteed the league doesn't do it.      

Oh, and transparent!  Can't have any transparency!  Heaven forbid...

Fun fact: on our final TD we had an O set with both Brady & Johnny in the backfield.  Ultimately they were just blockers.  But HAM brought their 3 DL plus 3 LB (critical).  I think we forced them to expect/respect a run there on 2nd down.  They probably would have preferred to rush 3 and drop nearly everyone into zone, and that would have been death for our call.

Buck setup a brilliant strong-side + boundary scheme with 2 clearing routes and an uncharacteristic short crosser to Kenny.  Kenny ran a superb route gaining inside leverage.  All of those corner fades and corner jumps we've been doing with him probably let him trick the DB into cheating outside.

Zach was nearly perfect with his timing.  Could have probably done one less mini-pump to shave a tenth or so, but in the end it didn't matter.  The zip was enough and sure-hand Kenny wasn't gonna drop his first TD of the season on a fairly uncontested catch!
