Canadian Quarterback Nathan seems to have something about Rourke CFL changes in its three-down game,
“New rules change is garbage – it is garbage. I, as many people used to do, who are fans and People playing in this league grew up seeing CFL And loving the game. I grew up in Ontario, played Canadian football rules throughout my life. I went down in the states – being able to explain the proud of the game Differences, Vaggal, Yard, Additional Person, these are things that are unique About the game that makes it different. I Was aware and there was a fan of the league below, but fans of CFL were because Among its differences, ” Rourke said,
“Rules change for me it sounds like we want The league is in the south, we want to become that league. Recent history and previous years, The league that has tried to be like NFL does not exist for a very long time. CFL game exists longer than NFL and is one of the reasons. It is unique, tThat fan Love it, I love this game and they are changing, tHey is getting rid of a lot things.”
The Canadian Football League announced amendment in the game on Monday, which will be effective in the next two years. According to Commissioner Stewart Johnson, the adjustment was unanimously approved by the leading governors of the league. Rourke wishes that more football people were involved in that decision making process.
“The worst part, I think, about it, honestly, the fact that people who play Football, who has football knowledge, was not consulted in this regard. Players Consultation was not done, tThat coach, management, no one was consulted. It was done on them Own agreement, it was independent of asking anyone who really knows football What they want to do, what they think would be better, ”Rourke said.
“We have a commissioner who has not been Here for a year which is already trying to change the game. I don’t believe that he loves football The more I do, the more fans do, the more people who love this game. YOU can’t adjust this way and tell me that you like football or yOU loves Canadian football game because you are changing it. ,
“What are we doing Isn’t Canadian football game that I love, that I am emotional about it, That I came back and played. I went down and played at NFL in that leaguend i came Knowing that this is a game for me because it has its uniqueness, what is special about it and W.Getting away from that. Frankly, I made me very angry. ,
Starting in 2027, the region will be shortened at a distance of 100 yards with a 15-yard and zone. The width will have 65 yards the same. Currently, the field is 110 yards with 20-yard and zone. The League indicated that crimes would be shortened to start crimes close to the last region of the opposition.
Even for 2027, the goalpost will be taken behind the end areas. The League claimed that changes are being made to remove the hindrance from the game, improve visions and increase the safety of the player. League projects that will result in 10 percent more end field perfection and results of 60 more touchdown per season.
“I don’t think the deer (pierce) and I have Sometimes when we sit on the night before the day, when we put it in our red area and said, WWHat Do we do about the goalpost in the middle of the field? This is not just. If anything, aggressively, we are using it as a vehicle, I will be able to open myself, IAn additional person of T is capable of rubbing things. This was the first time I hit the goalpost This year, tThe cap was my own fault. Given this, maybe it would have been good, it probably There would have been a blockage. Rourke said.
“You move the goalpost back, you get rid of one of the things This is the most special about the league, which is its special team. There are people who have made A career in this league, we are going to play one of the best in the league With Week (Janarion) grant, HFielding is one of the best in missed field and league and Return them and play huge drama from them. People have made a career, they do all this. ,
“We are taking it out, it’s not one thing. You take it backwards, it’s not one thing, Ivaccine Now there is nothing. Then, we are moving towards NFL where they do not like Special teams. They want to make it more and more, which is actually the game. We have always hugged it, I think what is terrible about it, it is more exciting, But we are getting away from him and it is unfortunate. ,
For 2026, the rose will be modified. A single point will no longer be honored when an attempt of a missed field goal will be widened or wide of a pant or kickoff sail and without touched by a return by a return through the end region or through the edge. A single point will still be honored if a return takes knee in the final area on the pant, kickoff, or missed field goal. CFL claimed that the change would “encourage more aggressive sports-coaling”.
“I don’t want to do them. But then, I think there are those types of examples Often that they are only a big thing because it is happening. This is the second time this happens, This is not more often, this is what they call a touchback, you are getting at the end Zone, you are not having a chance to return it.
“When he missed the field round, he was So close, just do not allow them to go so close so that he can do so, it is a part of the game. again, Special teams are a large part of the game, they are hugging it. You are going for examples That’s it.
“I know this is a business closed. But again, the rose is something that is Canadian uniquely. Something like this, again, I grew up, loving, and competent Hug that embrace special teams, I think I am amazing, IT is a part of the specificity game. The commissioner talked about the desire to preserve the rose, I do not believe in him, I do not believe in him. ,
Even for 2026, all stadiums will have team benches on the opposite edges of the ground. Rourne understands the benefits of teams on different sidelines.
“We both deal with it. You are on two different edges, a half is going to be hard, one is going to be half Easy, or a quarter is going to be easy. We are all working with those things, ”Rourke said.
“I’m not seeing A competitive advantage. I think it’s probably easy so no one can say anything, but it is I think they think of decisions. I don’t think they need Make anything about football, game. ,
“Its reality, whether it is the dimension of the region, whether it is a round The end field, we are playing on the same ground. If we are in McGill and round end fields, Where every team plays on it, we are both working with it. ,
Rourke was asked about the BC Lions’ crime and led the league in the score score in the points with 430 via 14 games (30.7 points per game), but returned to change the game.
Rourke said, “It is clear for me that the revenue is in the league, the viewership is in the league, and the scoring is that it is more than before – it is more than the states in the League Down South,” Rourke said.
“I don’t know what data we are looking at, we say we have to make it more exciting, we have to score more – I am an aggressive player, we do not need any more profit, it’s difficult to protect as it is. We are scoring a lot of digits now, it’s not despite the rules, it’s because they are doing what we are doing.”
