Ni db, de, imp dt, maybe another ni fb would all be great. Wouldn’t be mad at a punter or a defensive global.

That used to be us too.

Yeah. I honestly don’t know how much of a draw she is but I assume pretty big. Still I miss better cultural Canadian picks that we saw in the early 2ks. I’d have a band like the headstones in all the time. Have we passed the dead line yet? Hasn’t been an active mid season stretch.

Hamilton coming up and beating Toronto in the east would have them and their fans going mad. Wpg mtl has never happened in a gc iirc.

Crappy underwood for the half time show at the gc. I get that she’s popular, but I am soo tired of being force feed country by the cfl.

Truth. He would be sick and would be soo deadly pass rushing from mac/jack

I wouldn’t swap Cole due to his teams play. I’d sit Clements. also add kick schmekle to the curb. I’d swap burtenshaw for him and dress Kelly. I’d also sit Parker for blackmon. I’d consider Agudosi as a da for teams and offensive use. I’d do that if we used another guy to return rather than Blackmon. I’d also sit Bennett if basically any injured ni was actually good to go.

Don’t think so. We were super reliant on medlock and that was his toughest year here. we really struggled to perform up to expectations in the play offs before 19. I don’t think that team finds a way to win it all.

Imagine if Kelly gets banged up in this game? The 17 argos fans in Toronto would be livid! Man dukes has thrown 15 passes in the cfl. Dru brown has thrown 129, Poopkup has attempted 607. Collaros ofc has 2137. Kelly has 370. Harris has 164 Carries as an Argo. Boy I’d be concerned about experience among the Argo QBs.

It illustrates what I said about the 90s and early 2ks lol. The Argos attendance of 2-3k last year couldn't go significantly down. Again, you’re wrong. (Is that better?) pinball hasn’t been un involved with the Argos at any point since he retired. Holding what must be the longest continual employement in the cfl today being an Argo in one form or another since 1989. he coached sporadically between 2000 and 2007 while also serving on and off as club president gm and ceo at different times while just being ceo and gm in 2008. 09-2019 he was the vice chairman of the board. 19 forward he was the gm again. Maybe check his write up on the Argos site or wiki or the cfl lol. Instead of lulu.com and a book about rocket Ishmail. No, it isn’t. Pinball is entirely responsible for Dinwiddie.

Pretty awesome get. Reminds me a lot of Willy. this is always the rub. But if mos doesn’t manage the roster better starting this week we are in for a bitter disappointment at year end.

Bc is a huge game too, they have crapskatchewan and we have the same record. Ssk us ham cal vs tor bc and the elk who are suddenly on a heater. We get a bye then they have one in the last week. If we lose vs tor the wf will likely be wrapped up before the last game of the year. Unless bc really craps the bed. Losing back to back games this late in the season would also be a huge step back at the worst time.

This is the biggest game of the year. After a tough loss and a bye, at home in front of a sell out crowd vs the team that dethroned the bombers last year and the no1 team in the league. This will be the biggest indicator game for us. We should come out fast and hard while the Argos have every reason to be soft. We also still have the wf on the line. Lots of keys to success here. We gotta get consistent pressure on Kelly and with 5 or less rushers. We have to make him pay to stand in the pocket and make him uncomfortable. But we can’t sell out blitzes all the time and give him easy first down passes. The key to this is going to be dressing extra imp dl. Toronto loves to run outside/wide zone. The key step stopping their run isn’t as much going to be dl, it’s going to be about kyrie and biggie not getting washed out and filling the off tackle gap getting off blocks etc. Or dbs needs to do a better job of not selling out for picks (especially Houston) and hits (especially ba) or biting on fakes. We also need to get back to the gang tackling that made our secondary formidable. We have to protect Zach, and not get deep ball punch drunk. Gotta take what the D gives us, and pound the rock. Kick cover has sucked this year to put it lightly. We need to get back to our regular cover scheme, and stay lane disciplined.

That’s factually inaccurate. The Argos had more good years than bad attendance wise in the 90s with a lul post flutie and a 2000s bounce back. The 93-95 argos especially struggled to compete with the jays post back to back ships. The late 90s post flutie era did the same when the raptors came to town. the only thing that’s gotten better in the to market in 5 years is how good the Argos are at lying about attendance. mlse didn’t do any thing management wise. Pinball was running it and changed positions as he had in the past depending on his ability to devote time to the team. He put dinwiddie in place and they built this team. That’s got nothing to do with mlse. Mlse came into a team that was consistently hosting a home play off game every other year and they won 4 games in back to back years. They have a team that should be a contender now. Last year was a surprise win and this is the first year of them being a serious contender.

You’re right, but they do leverage it. Especially in sports.

That’s what modern defences are designed to do. It used to be about showing one thing pre snap and another post snap. Forcing two reads to be accurate and track the change. Now it’s even post snap with asymmetrical coverage. It’s not one guy covering one guy or even covering one area any more. It’s 4 guys sharing the coverage on one side of the field. And that can change from 4 to 5 to 3, to one of those guys playing man and the rest playing zone, or rotating guys to the inside or over the top to take away different angles. The WRs are reading the defence to adjust patterns and the coverage is reading the patterns to adjust their coverage. If the play gets rushed or it’s a fast timing play and the coverage call is lucky or really smart you get a play that makes a qb or oc look real stupid and a db or dc look brilliant. And vice versa. Zach had a pick Vs Hamilton like that.

The thing about that is each really has its own niche with in Toronto. Especially the raptors and jays. Leafs are what they are. But the demographic at a raptors game is very very different. Even the jays to an extent. The Argos lost their niche. But the lions also lost theirs and have done a great job of getting it back with out going to a grey cup. Problem is mlse is a deadbeat owner. They’ve had the Argos for 5 years and things have only gotten much worse.

Soo true. Unless you do a massive near complete stand area rebuild and basically build a new stadium around the field I can’t see it working out. Is exhibition stadium really soo bad that it couldn’t be updated? I’ve heard rumblings a few times the last year or so about about the mlb returning to Montreal. That might be their best chance. I have a hard time understanding how Winnipeg and Saskatchewan, publicly owned teams can get new stadiums built but places like Montreal can’t. They get like 7b in redistribution payments every year. They have private owners with deep pockets who could kick in far more than us.

Love to see oakman here

A stable, competitive ALs franchise is really big for the cfl. If they can finally sort out the stadium that’d be fantastic but it’s been an issue for soo long I’m not holding my breath.

True, but pissed odd motivated Harris is always dangerous. And you know he’d be both to play us.

Yep. Tor spent 50k over we spent 65, ott went 12k over and mtl went 800 bucks over lol.

I think the main hope will be that gambling revenue can inject some serious cash. Otherwise for us, it’s gonna be about doing the smart franchise thing and cutting some dead weight salary.

Great point. Soo true. And yeah lots of kids that need a chance. Man it’d be great if we took a page out of the xfl book and signed a bunch of guys as a league brought them up had a rookie camp / combine then a junior draft with those guys. It can be soo hard to cover all that ground for regional scouts especially with the football ops cap. That could be the huge shot of talent at qb that the cfl really needs.

Its even worse in the deep south. It is soo easy for kids to fall between the cracks no matter how talented. Thats pretty cool, its interesting to see how many cfl guys are working in Europe the last decade. Mike sellers was iirc 18 or 19 when he came up to the CFL with edmonton the first time. His career likely never would've happened the way things work now.
