Some pretty solid CFL defences with SOME very talented defenders out there now; however - nothing even close to a dominant CFL defence now IMO.
However CFL defences have figured out the standard, same old look, homgenous offences of today = they know what`s coming and it makes it wayyyy easier to defend. And when you have either inexperienced QBs or not so great back-ups replacing an injured starter, and you are trying to run the same old, all-pass offence it is often difficult to get things going with a QB who is just not good enough or ready to run that kind of offence.
Agree with SnowRouge in that i was hoping Tedford might bring a bit of fresh offensive thinking to the league, but then disappointing to see him go out and hire a same old good ole boy like Cortez as OC.
We`ve gone over this ground before here; i guess it is just too much to ask for one single team in a 9 team league to run an innovative or different offence - lots of ground game with different style backs; lots of vertical or deep passing game; not always 5 pack with the same slotback look waggling offside every 2nd series; real use of a fullback or real tight end; QB under centre a lot or at least some of the time. Nope - and the defenders of the good ole boy faith are going to tell us that`s just the way CFL offences just have to work now and don`t question or disagree with the expert offensive `thinkers`running things in the CFL now. ;O)
