just wonderind if we're going to go back to the old ball. i heard alot of complaining throughout last season from qb's about the new ball's threading causing the ball to drift.
sorry no links just what i heard on tsn/cbc and personally i saw both kerry joseph and ac have problems with drifting throws.
yes...we should have a season filled with excitement, just like '05.
altho, part of the excitment for me, in '05, was the renegades early push for a playoff spot. then watching them attempt to hang on to it late in the season, when they got in the slump.
I was just thinking that for the ball, if they really want the stripes but not the white ones as if they are painted the paint comes off easily and makes the ball look to worn, why not emblazen (right word?) the stripes the same dark colour as you see with the insignias used on the ball like the CFL symbol or commissioners signature. The NFL ball has these emblazened on them and the qb's don't complain. Maybe it's not paint but some sort of burned in type thing on the leather, I don't know.
no one has anything to complain about yet, they haven't used the "revised ball".
imo, 2006 had alot of drifting passes from accurate qb's, and alot of huge over-throws from average qb's.
home games in sask with or without wind i noticed kj and visting qb's having trouble with over-throws. i also saw many plays on tv with the same result, but i can't really count those as i wasn't there to judge the affect of the wind on the pass.
but i guess if you didn't notice any difference arjoel, then the rest of us should just shut-up and wait to see what you feel is important enough to post about. :lol:
