I like 11 players and a smaller ball, but I also like a bigger field and bigger endzones.
I LOVE Rouges and the crazy kicking rules that the CFL has, but I also love that the uprights at the end of the endzone and that you aren't allowed to run up to the line, in the NFL.
Basically, I like the rules of both sports lol.
CFL is crazy and fun to watch, but 3 downs makes for less-offense and less running (normally), which doesn't necessarily mean more defense either; it is an infinitely harder game, IMO than the NFL, despite the core rules and platform, being the same.
Thus, I would have no issues making the rules universal, but it would have to be a hybrid and not one or the other; so Grey (absolutely pun intended) and not Black or White.
I'm also a fan of the bigger size, in the NFL; Dunlap would typically be a NT in the CFL at his size and arguably the best C in league history, was 6'2, 290; not significantly smaller, but would definitely get eaten up in the NFL.
How Matt O'Donnell has lasted this long at this high a level, I have no clue: I guess he truly is an outstanding athlete, 'cause he would be the biggest player in NFL history, had he stuck on our roster.
I wouldn't be shocked if the NFL were to adapt some of the Canadian rules. Specifically the three down( to limit running) and the wider field at 55 yards to create more space on the field.
I misssd watching the CFL this summer it's good football to watch in the summer. Also agree about players being smaller. The CFL linebackers look more like a modern day Nickelback than a traditional LB.
