Players see up and downside to new CFL training camp rules
It only took a couple of days … but rules changes in the CFL are already being noticed.
Starting this year, teams can only have one padded, contact practice per day. Because of that Riders head coach Corey Chamblin decided that the the morning practice on every second day would in-fact be a walk through and not a full on practice.
Not surprisingly the players tend to like it, but they can definitely see a bit of a downside to it as well.
“You can never say work hurts you, it should always make you better,” said defensive lineman Tearrius George. “But at the same time, I think we'll definitely come in a little more fresh, and mentally prepared.”
