#Bombers 101: Understanding Richie Hall's Base Pass Coverages.
How Winnipeg's defence can be a soft-zone and an aggressive cover-0 completely simultaneously, and a look at the advantages/disadvantages of running this coverage. #CFL

refer to the PFF grades as even a starting point for the evaluation of DBs, LBs, RECs and QBs for at least a couple seasons. There are so many schematic nuances in Canadian football that differ from the American counter-part. You need to have been around the sport for years.
This is cool.
But I will say, even the NFL player grades can be extremely sketchy and unreliable — can be used as a decent starting point for player evaluation, but must be taken with a grain of salt.
Now they are tasked with grading essentially a new sport. I wouldn’t even
@JGasson_21 Honestly, I haven’t paid super close attention but it seems like scoring is down in Usports too. CanWest is usually filled with 50-47 games. Meanwhile this year I keep checking box scores and see QBs under 200 yards passing. Might just be a post-pandemic thing, Idk.
@JGasson_21 Buuuuuuut i have no doubt the league will resort to changing the rule book even more, allow even less contact on receivers, rather than fixing the root issues.
@JGasson_21 I think you’re right — there’s so many other places to look to make changes outside of the rule book. The offences scored more back when the rules were less restrictive for defenders. Now Ds can do much less, and offences are still struggling. It can’t be a rule book problem
@JGasson_21 Yeah, that was quite the take there lol.
There's also just so many junior players from the PFC that went to Usports before CFL, which takes away the PFC's shine.
