Lifetime CFL fan here. The "rouge" rule that results in a single when the ball goes through the end zone or from a safety is a left over from rugby up here. Also, in that clip you showed, the Edmonton Elks did that to win in OT because their kicker was terrible and they had a good punter. Also, quarterbacks can throw the ball away, as long as its past the line of scrimmage it just results in a loss of a down. More interesting though is that the fields are 10 yards longer and the field is several yards wider too, resulting in lots of stretch plays and more room to run.
@ggfootball07 Their starting kicker Boris Bede wasn't playing that game, they had a backup in I'd never heard of who had missed a convert point badly earlier in the game. I think his last name was Blanchard or something like that? Their punter Jake Julien is pretty decent, so when they only needed one point to walk it off, they did that instead.
@@kvngcam6716Not really. The endzones are also 20 yards, so if you’d have to be at the 30 for a 50 yard punt through the end zone. But the field goal posts are at the front of the end zone, so teams will kick a field goal for 3 points rather than the 1 for the touchback. Main difference is that there’s usually a returner in the end zone to field and return missed field goals to avoid giving up the point.
Because there’s no fair catches in the CFL, there’s a rule on punts that go past the line of scrimmage, the punter or anyone behind him at the time of the kick treat the ball as live even before it makes contact. This rule also allows what’s referred to as a “dribble kick,” where any offensive player can give ball a short kick over the line of scrimmage, immediately fall on the ball only a yard from the line, and giving his team a fresh set of downs. Its mostly used in long yardage final down situations.
High school rules in Canada basically allow all the advantages of both Canadian football and American, we get 4 downs and most of the same rules, we’re allowed all the pre snap motion on really wide fields. A lot of fun
Little bit of misinformation, the qb can still throw the ball away, it’s just a lot harder as the field is 65 yards wide instead of 53.3 so qb’s have to launch it 30-40 yards to get it out of bounds. Edit 1: A crucial rule that he missed in this video is that you can catch the ball with only one foot in bounds Edit 2: lol another rule I forgot is the fact that both teams get an overtime! If the score is tied after two overtime’s then the game is a tie and each team gets half a point, where in a playoff game they’ll go until one wins Edit 3: mb it’s 53.3 yards wide lol not 40
@tylerclayton6081 all I know is they look small, tbh i don’t even know where I got 40 from. I wrote this as I was like about to go to bed too so I was running off of tired brain
He calls it weird but it is actually very entertaining to watch; there is more deep shots and more exchanges of possessions which makes possession less important. Everytime someone gets the ball you really don’t know what is going to happen
The field is also 10 yards longer, wider, and the endzones are 10 yards deeper. This is why there is an additional player. Also, the "anyone can kick rule" works like an onside kick; your team can only recover the kicked ball if the player that ends up with the ball was behind the kicker.
The CFL is a great league. The above rule changes make for some interesting plays, especially during thd end-game. I'm thankful for it. It's nice to have a league safe from getting hassled/invaded by our scary southern neighbours. Go Blue
1: Any offensive players except the oline and qbs can move. 2: qbs can throw the ball away 3: a touchback is a point to the kicking/punting team, or if you miss a field goal. 5: instead of 40 seconds, the offense only has 20 seconds. 6: instead of 2 minute warning, it's a 3 minute warning. 7: dline lines up 1 yard away from the oline.
Another cool rule is during a kickoff return you must give the returner 5 yards before you can tackle them. No fair catch at all. It makes for way more exciting returns. Also under 2 minutes the clock stops automatically so you cannot burn the clock like in the NFL makes really close games way more exciting under 2 minutes.
NFL also allows Drop lock field goals. Generally, it isn't done except in the last seconds of a half due to the opponent team being able to return the kick.
The CFL is a better game with worse players imo. The rules make for a much faster and explosive game. The players just are not as good as in the NFL, but they are still pro athlete. I would compare them to either really good AA or average AAA players in baseball in terms of skill level.
Yes, in Canada, we can do as much as the Americans can on a football field, but it’s wider longer and we only need three downs. And unlike the American football league, we actually don’t have a fair catch option, but the defence on a kickoff has to give a 5 yard space around the person catching the ball before they can go after him .
Andy Read would have all of the line men have a running start to there blocks while the back field is having a party running all over the place confusing the defense.
How am I 37 years old and didn’t even know this exists or that it has cool rules like this. I’ve heard of the CFL, just thought it was like our football.
It’s just not though, any NFL player could go to the CFL and have an incredible career. Second and third string players would all start and be some of the best players in the league
That's the standard for all endzones, 20 yards deep, field is also 10 yards longer quite a bit wider and the goal posts are on the goalline and not the back of the endzone
@ at least we didn’t almost lost to france in basketball during the olympics. Imagine being home to the nba but almost losing to the french out of all ppl. Classic Americans

it's pretty good. Watched the Ticats for a while a few years back when a friend made the team. It's a pretty dope change of pace thing.

Who was the kicker for the elks at the time?

Fun fact that rule was also in the nfl in the early days!
So do these rules mean that Kickers and Punters in the CFL are a (noticeably) more valued position?

If the NFL had CFL rules the chiefs and dolphins are a perennial AFC championship matchup and the lions would be even better 😭😭

As A Canadian I am glad to see people making videos about the CFL!! LETS GO SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS!!
Yesss!
Let's go roughriders!
The bombers are absolutely son-ing the riders in the conference final.
LETS GO BOMBERS
BANJO BOWL TWOOO BABYYYY
And the Alouettes are absolutely winning this next Grey Cup.
Go Als Go!
I miss the Rough Riders. 😢
YESSIRRRR

NFL field is 53.33 Yards. Not 40 Yards. Have you even ever watched football? Do those NFL and College Football fields look 40 yards to you?

@@tylerclayton6081 Have a snickers
You don't even have to throw it out of bounds. As long as it isn't caught, you have a chance to get away with it.
Yes players can throw the ball away and no, not as many players can move in motion.

I remember being introduced to the CFL way back when the NFL went on strike. Loved it and still watch when I come across it.
I love chatting up my mate from BC about the Lions and CFL in all its wildness

I might start watching this league it seems cool
Playoffs right now. Free to watch on CFL+ if you’re outside of Canada.

The grey cup (Canadas Super Bowl) is this weekend. Check it out the game will be good one
Playing football here is fun
Oh yes it is
Yes, in Canada, we can do as much as the Americans can on a football field, but it’s wider longer and we only need three downs.
And unlike the American football league, we actually don’t have a fair catch option, but the defence on a kickoff has to give a 5 yard space around the person catching the ball before they can go after him .
Only thing I like from this is the fact that qb’s can’t throw away. D linemen can actually get what they worked for instead of just a wasted down.
I love being able to punt the ball at any time. I mean, it is FOOTball after all.
Basically we have worse players but more action
I kinda prefer this but you know it is legal for any player to punt at any time in the NFL too and a drop kick is possible
The CFL was actually invented first and it was an American that adapted it to what we know know as the "standard" American football
Got a source for that because from what I can see both sports are derivative of rugby and developed around the same time a
No, they’re both influenced off of rugby.
@@lilcherio8947And CFL still has more Rugby elements than NFL because it was developed more closely to Rugby & longer ago, you moron 😂😂😂
Being a Calgary fan I’ve seen a lot of that and losing most of the time when they punch into our own end zone
With all the crazy rules, you'd never know that the CFL is 20 years older than the NFL.
I think someone like Sean Mcvay who already uses a lot of motion plays would have a blast with that rule
It makes sense that if the ball is in the endzone in any manner it’s a point.
More players & motion prior to snap b/c the field is bigger. NFL backs would be running for 8k/ yr on it.
Got some Rugby Vibes going.😂😅😊
My family has had season tickets to the Eskies/Elks for 20 years. Was at that game from the first clip.
Looks fun to watch where do I watch 😂
This sounds so much better
Way more exciting than American football.
Andy Reid already has that much motion 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually sounds interesting. I gotta check out the CFL now.
My brother was in the cfl and when some of this happened he was so confused but after one play he understood it
Andy Read would have all of the line men have a running start to there blocks while the back field is having a party running all over the place confusing the defense.
How am I 37 years old and didn’t even know this exists or that it has cool rules like this. I’ve heard of the CFL, just thought it was like our football.
The pro bowl should be cfl rules with cfl players and be cfl vs nfl
Andy Reid would just have all of them line up offsides like every other game.
He would be the greatest coach in two different leagues
if a team is kicking off after they score and the kickoff goes through the uprights, that should be worth 3 pts
LOVE the CFL
My school board uses both nfl and cfl rules at the same time for some reason
The CFL is infinitely harder than the NFL!
No because the best of the best are in the NFL
Rules? Yes. Players? Absolutely not
@@agentb70 And many started their careers in the CFL! Look at Warren Moon and Doug Flutie!
@@DNeed77 then they switched so you didn’t prove anything
It’s just not though, any NFL player could go to the CFL and have an incredible career. Second and third string players would all start and be some of the best players in the league
CFL is like the football equivalent of Banana Ball😂
I love how he is calling the CFL weird, even tho it was made way before the nfl
Leave it to Canada to make a game even weirder
NFL is a copy of the cfl they just changed the rules
Imagine what dan campbell and ben Johnson would do i this league
The cfl lowk sounds cools ash
Honestly presnap motion sounds way more fun anyway
It’s not weird, it’s just a different sport. It’s like FIBA rules vs NBA rules
This looks way better than the NFL tf
You have to have 7 on the line and only your slot receivers can have a 5 yard run up prior to the play
It’s weird but it’s so much more entertaining bro
Bro cfl looks way hype
Only 2 players can move early and those are called slot backs
Incorrect. Running backs can also motion freely. It’s just only players who aren’t lined up on the line of scrimmage. Not just two slot backs.
our league is older. NFL is the one that changed the rules.
Andy would make them fetch burgers
Canada is weird man. love the different product though.
I want the players to move before the snap
Andy Reid ain’t got no motion
Edmonton elks fan here went to 7 games
Andy Reid would still need Refs to save him.
As a CFL fan what are you talking about not allowed to throw the ball away oh my favourite team is the Saskatchewan Roughriders
Does anyone know the song name?
To me the CFL is far more exciting to watch than the NFL.
The CFL rules are so much better than the NFL
why is no one talking about the posts being in the middle of the end zone
The goal post is on the goal line. Its called the goal line after-all.
lowkey not weird it’s coo
GOOOOO RIDERS
QB not allowing to throw the ball away means more injuries
People here have never watched rugby and it shows
CFL looking more like rugby 💀
I had no idea there was a Canadian football league
Who wanted to see the NFL-CFL Exhibition exhibition game?
Like if YES. Comment of it's no.
⬇️
On another note, why is the SSK team's endzone so BIG?
That's the standard for all endzones, 20 yards deep, field is also 10 yards longer quite a bit wider and the goal posts are on the goalline and not the back of the endzone
If anything these are the real rules cause this league is on its 111th grey cup and nfl is only on like 58 or smth the cdl is almost 50 years older
Andy Reid already does whatever he wants
I was at that game and it was hype
Cowboys would love that
This is so much better than those Americans football. This is the true football
lol why do people love being delusional
@ at least we didn’t almost lost to france in basketball during the olympics. Imagine being home to the nba but almost losing to the french out of all ppl. Classic Americans

Imagine what Andy Reid would do with all that motion and the Chiefs would STILL need the refs to win the game
Let’s go Edmonton won that
Btw the cfl was made before nfl and nfl copied most if cfl tukes then changed them later
Basically, they are confusing the sport with some sort of Ancient Rugby hybrid. But it’s seems a bit entertaining.
Imagine Tyreek hill but he gets a running start
No motions, Mike McDaniela sing I mean look what he’s done with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen waddle
Maybe I should start watching CFL
If you do, watch the Winnipeg blue bombers, we’ve been in the last 4 grey cups
This is real football btw the Canadians invented the game
Andy would cause the CFL to shut down for a year
bro i’d say everybody n the nfl puts up 30 points every game each team even the panthers lol
Why’s there football in Canada now
And why did they change the rules
I’m crying in a corner now
I would love to see the chiefs against the best team in the CFL with CFL refs
So it's weird not having the same rules as the NFL?
Still manages to glaze
The field is also longer
