Joe West could not make a catch even if he had a laundry basket! I do not expect my Stamps to win many games if they expect their go to guy is Joe West LOL. Brutal performance against the Lions keep it up Stamps and we will be last place for sure.

Cheer up. We get the Bombs next week.

In watching the highlights at about 5:20, I noticed a play in the second half by the Stamps for which Mitchell went play action and rolled right to complete a pass to #65 to the right, who is a lineman for Calgary.

When watching the play over and over, it looked to me like #65 was lined up in the tackle position on the right and not in the uncommon the tight end position in the CFL.

But I did notice there was no receiver on the line outside of #65 on the right either. Outside of him was a slot receiver.

But what did I miss? How could #65 be a receiver on that play?

I noticed on the left side of the line there was a guy lined up at tight end, but he did not go downfield and outside of him on the left was a receiver on the line anyway.

It's interesting to note the difference from the NFL, in which said lineman who is wearing any jersey numbered 60 to 79 would have to report as an eligible receiver before the play and that report is also announced by the official.

But how is #65 eligible to be a receiver on that play anyway? Is it because he was the end?

If so, that was a cool trick play of sorts.

Article 4 — Eligibility Of Receiver

The following players are eligible receivers:

any Team A player who is identified by number as an eligible receiver (see Rule 4, Section 5, Article 3, Note 1 & Rule 6, Section 4, Article 4, Note 2) and who, at the snap of the ball, is occupying a position either at the end of the line of scrimmage or in the backfield at least one yard back of the line of scrimmage.
any player of Team B, whether or not the pass is legally thrown.</blockquote>

I believe he would still have to report as eligible.

Pretty much the same rule in the CFL.

@"2013 CFL Rule Book"

A maximum of 2 players wearing an ineligible number (50 – 69) will be allowed to line up in an eligible position as an end or in the backfield after reporting to the referee prior to a scrimmage play. The referee will inform the opposing team and all officials of the player number and position he will be playing.

So seven players on the line, and the two outside players are potentially eligible receivers. The other five are ineligible, no matter what numbers they’re wearing, although there are also some bizarre rules around eligible numbered players lining up at an ineligible position, who also have to report in.

@"2013 CFL Rule Book"

NOTE: Notwithstanding this article, a Team A player wearing an eligible receiver number may enter the game at an ineligible receiver position under the following circumstances:
(a) On a third down play or,
(b) On a convert attempt or,
(c) On a first or second down kicking formation in the last minute of a quarter, provided that prior to the game, Team A declared to the Referee a list of eligibly numbered players who may be so deployed and such eligibly numbered players shall not be eligible as pass receivers, regardless of the position occupied on that play.

At any time during the game, an eligibly numbered player may be added to the list by entering the field of play and reporting to the Referee.

If an eligibly numbered player who is not on the list participates at an ineligible receiver position (within one yard of the line of scrimmage tackle to tackle), his team will be warned once and his number will be added to the list.

The list only seems to come into play on first or second down kicking plays in the last minute of a quarter. Very, very specific. As I said, bizarre.
