@GreenZoneSK Going out on a limb and saying he asked not to play to not face the boos. The best part is when he doesn’t start he stays in the dressing room for the game so likely won’t show his face at all.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@jamienye Time for the City or Riders to publicly speak to this decidion I think.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@MondayNooner Kinsmen arena for a Friday nooner rec game? Probably not for one of western Canada’s largest female tournaments. That would be a bit embarrassing.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@RPAthletes Interesting to see if Liebel can even handle that much new traffic. It feels like its schedule is already jam packed. I don’t mind the rule changes but displacing amateur football and turning a publicly funded stadium into a one use venue is a bit tough to take.

@Bulldogs_96 @JDunk12 @3DownNation @sportscage @620ckrm @RiderNationCFL @RiderProphet @MattMcGillvs @JaniceOwen @theeWesCates @bdmolnar @Safimod I thought USports AND football Canada already stated they would not adopt any of the changes?

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@BryceYourselves @benyamen Just not sure what the replacement is. He is the best short side halfback in the league, arguably the toughest position to play. In Sask you get run outta town when you don’t perform at that position.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@BakerUndertaker @jamesonkj Ford is the weak link. There is a reason he is around every play; opponents go straight at him. The video shows it every week. Great back story but not a defensive starter in the CFL.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@TSNDaveNaylor @TheJCAbbott End of the day, regardless if it is a symbol or game play, there will be less fans. More will leave than will be added. That’s not what the league should have been looking for.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@jamienye Also not super happy the league that is making the changes is asking the municipalities to pay for them. Yes, it’s just paint but repainting the lines for each CFL game being played will likely cost something?

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@jamienye Overlying issue is no discussion with coaches on how strategy will change. An overall shorter field will not result in more TDs when the avg starting field position is way back. FG today = start on 40. Next year many of those are punts for filed position inside the 20.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@TSNDaveNaylor My concern is avg starting field pos. will be backed up, leading to less TDs. Now, a team starts on the 40 after a FG. In 2027, 3rd down plays that are now in field goal range will result in field position punts. Hope I am wrong but think TDs will actually be down next year.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@jmclellan21 @jamienye The Bombers likely playing BCs backups next week in order to get in. People are funny.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@ShawnMachmer @jamienye Yep. Plus skipper said it’s only for one day, likely because Sale is pitching. He will be back up again tomorrow.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@mlakustiak14 @Draigai29 @jamienye Yes. But they lose to Hamilton, things get interesting with Winnipeg and Sask left. Final game could be 1st vs 3rd.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@jamienye If Hamilton ever manages to beat Edmonton at home on Friday, it gets interesting for the Elks.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@GreyCupBound @RealAlexD Only issue is that call isn’t even an option next year. It was going to the back 5-yards of the 20-yard endzone.

[Doug Schell @schell1d]

@TSNDaveNaylor @BuffaloBills Really great story.
