But I also assume individual teams then break the "tapes" down themselves into packages suitable for game-planning and off-season prep. As mentioned above, the Argos might, for instance, put together a package showing every second-down play Montreal ran all season, or every second-and-less-than-five play or whatever, so that tendencies can be discerned. That type of package, if lost in this fire, would need to be rebuilt from scratch, which could substantially affect off-season prep for 2012. I hope Mulder is right that the Argos likely had everything digitized and stored off-site, but this is the CFL, where resources are limited, so I'm not optimistic about that.
