Canadian Football Strategy
Here are the mods I did for the CFL. There is 3 leagues that uses the same image file. One has 9 teams compatible with the 21 games schedule in psf 2021. One has 10 teams as I added the future halifax (Atlantic) team and the other has 10 teams plus 7 alterations of my favorite team i.e. The Montreal Alouettes through the years including their stint as the Baltimore Stallions during cfl's. But while the excitement in both leagues may be similar, salaries of Canadian football players lag dramatically behind those of their U.S. Minimum Starting Salaries In The CFL. A high draft pick in the CFL can expect a small signing bonus in their first year and salary of about $50,000. Lower selections and undrafted free agents. The 5-3 is even more intent on stopping the run and is designed to make use of a strong middle line backer. Similar to the 5-2, the 5-3 simply replaces the free safety spot with a third linebacker, who lines up on the outside shoulder of the tight end, five yards deep and parallel with the other linebackers.
Edge rusher (alternately edge defender or simply edge) is a term designating a position in gridiron football. Some analysts consider 'edge rusher' to be its own position entirely.[1]
Discussion[edit]
Players considered to be edge rushers are usually 4–3defensive ends or 3–4outside linebackers. Note that 3–4 outside linebackers often act as an extension of the defensive line, in that they will attack the offensive tackles or blocking tight ends on the majority of their snaps under a majority of 3–4 schemes, though it is not uncommon to see them drop back and play a more traditional 4–3 linebacker role as well.[2]
One reason the word 'edge' is used in the term 'edge rusher' is that edge often refers to the area outside of offensive tackles, but within a couple of yards of the line of scrimmage. While other positions will rarely be referred to as edge rushers, other than 4–3 defensive ends and 3–4 outside linebackers, it is common for defensive backs, traditional linebackers, and even defensive tackles to occasionally play the position on a play-to-play basis.[3]
Notable players[edit]
Notable edge rushers of the National Football League (NFL) as of the early 2020s include:[4]
- Joey Bosa (DE)
- Nick Bosa (DE)
- Jadeveon Clowney (OLB/DE)
- Myles Garrett (DE)
- Chandler Jones (OLB)
- Cameron Jordan (DE)
- T. J. Watt (OLB)
- Chase Young (DE)
- Yannick Ngakoue (OLB/DE)
Each player's traditional position is noted in parentheses (DE for defensive end, OLB for outside linebacker).

HAMILTON, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VoxNeuro and the Canadian Football League Alumni Association (CFLAA) are joining forces to offer objective cognitive assessment to CFLAA members, including Canadian football players, former CFL players, and other communities of interest. Through the partnership, these groups will also raise awareness of long term impacts of head trauma, like concussion. For ageing Canadians who have experienced head-trauma throughout their lives, a growing concern is understanding its relationship with cognitive decline.
Under the terms of the agreement, VoxNeuro and the CFLAA will collaborate to share the message that long-term effects of head-trauma, from concussion and sub-concussive blows, are prevalent, and not exclusive to athletes who have dedicated their lives to playing impact or high-risk sports. Brain injuries can happen to anyone and each injury is unique - meaning they need to be assessed and treated accordingly.
“We are excited about our collaboration with VoxNeuro. The CFLAA is committed to provide health and wellness support to our members and to the community we serve. We can only do that by aligning with like minded partners. VoxNeuro and its team are such a partner.” - Leo Ezerins, Executive Director and Founder of CFLAA
The CFLAA and VoxNeuro will introduce a significant new neurotechnology to support the health of the CFLAA’s members. The neurotechnology, which assesses cognitive function in an easily accessible clinical setting, will give guidance to providing a solution to any cognitive deficiencies the CFLAA members are experiencing.
This partnership and neurotechnology have a historical tie - VoxNeuro was founded following a breakthrough study of ex-CFL players that used the neurotechnology VoxNeuro has since advanced and made clinically available, called Cognitive Health Assessments™.
VoxNeuro’s Cognitive Health Assessments™ combine imaging and functional tests, drawing on strengths from the most trusted brain assessments used clinically today. The data provided in a patient report differentiates between true cognitive decline and perceived decline due to symptoms caused by situational factors, such as stress, general fatigue or mood.
The ability to make these differentiations is massively impactful for this patient population who are uncertain about the health of their brain, and long-term impacts they may be experiencing from historical injuries. Regardless of the time post injury, the reports help healthcare professionals create targeted plans specific to a patient’s needs and track their performance over time.
VoxNeuro’s technology is the only cognitive assessment in the world today that uses objective, quantifiable neurophysiological data to inform healthcare providers & patients with the specifics of various cognitive brain functions, such as:
- Executive Function
- Memory
- Information Processing
- Concentration
- Attention
- Language Comprehension
The awareness campaign will involve various speaking engagements, events and collaborations with other not-for-profit organizations focused on brain health that both groups actively collaborate with, following the mission to improve brain health across Canada.

“Many CFLAA members have experienced numerous concussive and sub-concussive blows throughout their careers. VoxNeuro’s Cognitive Health Assessments™ objectively confirm if their historical injuries have had an impact on their brain function. If they have, their results provide data to help direct their healthcare plans. As a part of this collaboration VoxNeuro is excited to offer an exclusive discount for all CFLAA members to help them take control of their brain health.” - James Connolly, CEO of VoxNeuro
About the Canadian Football League Alumni Association
Founded in 2008, the CFLAA supports Canadian football, former CFL players, and other communities of interest while fostering collaborative relationships with CFL stakeholders and others that enhance the well-being of its members. The CFLAA is actively involved in philanthropy with not-for-profit organizations like Never Alone Foundation (through the Never Alone Rose Project), Alzheimer’s Canada, Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, CFL Fans Fight Cancer, and Canadian Concussion Center. The CFLAA is also actively involved in research, including a study of long-term neurocognitive function in their work with Canadian Concussion Center, led by Dr. Carmela Tartaglia, with an advisory committee led by Canada’s preeminent concussion doctor Dr. Charles Tator; as well as a study to explore the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, such as treating pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. The CFLAA is driven to find health and wellness solutions for its members to thrive and enjoy a full and dignified quality of life. www.cflaa.ca
