Hate to see good coaches leave but good for Fields.

Umm, gotta disagree there - the switch in the East semi, vs. the Argos, to a mostly spread offence / 6 pack / no real run game, netted almost 500 passing yards and a doubling of time of possession, vs. the Argo D that went on to win the GC. That was arguably the RedBlacks best offensive game of the season.

I thought Dyce & Condell might have wanted to continue / explore that style of offence more; but maybe not, and also good to have a quality RB at your disposal (and D. Williams, who missed all of last season with injury there, after impressing plenty the season before, could return as well ?)

BC preferring that ultra mediocre Butler over the far superior Stanback is a bit head scratching; but maybe a money thing; or maybe Rourke put in a word for Butler as he was his main RB in his big CFL season there.

Butler is a much better receiver coming out of the backfield than Stanback, IMO, so may be a better fit for the Rourke offence in BC moving forward. Butler probably made a mistake leaving BC in the first place but has now corrected that.
