Around the CFL 2024

Oof. That needs to be top priority. How do you recruit with a situation like that, given the CFL players grapevine? At least we have an opportunity with new ownership and management.

Three teams really stood out at the bottom of the list. The Stamps are no surprise, but I did raise my eyebrows to see the Lions down there too.

And fortunately, our new GM and AGM were both part of the team that scored the highest on this survey doing exactly the role that they will be doing here. This survey only makes me more confident that things are on the way to improving.

What a great initiative by the CFLPA ! Finally a way to give all the players a voice about important concerns without reprisals.
Truly sad and embarrassing for some aspects of the former EE operations. I look forward to a concerted effort by the new regime to improve their ranking in the deficient categories. No excuse not to be in the top 3.

That’s the thing, there are no excuses because all of those categories are easily controllable. I have faith in the new regime to straighten things out.

Does anyone remember Ed instituting a charter flight policy for road games when he was here last time? I vaguely remember this because I think the extra costs associated raised eyebrows at the time.

Prime example of the little things that would help get that letter grade up in a hurry.

Totally agree ! I can’t begin to imagine trying to squeeze a 250 + pound, 6 foot + body into an “economy seat” for multiple hours. Just torturous!
We can be better.

Too bad Edmonton let him get away.

At that kind of money I won’t miss him. Look at his stats; yes he averaged 1 sack per game but only averaged 2 1/3 tackles. He consistently fails to “keep contain” so he can pursue his sack totals making him weak against the run. Never impressed me as a “team” guy.
Easily replaced at that money with change left over.
