Cfl

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The CFL is a more athletic brand of football than the NFL is, for the following reasons ......



1) l The field is 10 yards longer between the goal lines.

2) l The endzones are twice as long as the NFL endzones (20 yards from the goal-line to the end-line.)

3) l The field is wider.

4) l You only have 3 downs instead of 4, so instead of 4 chances to get 10 yards, you have 3 chances to get 10 yards. Punting is done on 3rd down.



All of the above makes the necessity for a heavy passing game, and a light running game ...... subsequently, the importance of slender and athletic wide receivers (and slender and athletic defensive backs to cover them) are at a premium ...... the field is so much larger and wider than are NFL fields, and so there is much more ground to cover.

All of that said, I don't watch a lot of Canadian Football because I don't have a team that I am emotionally invested in (as I do with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts.)
