Mr Dee Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 CFL Game #65 Team Notes – Saskatchewan at Toronto: Trestman vs Jones: Despite a combined 203 career regular season games as head coaches, Marc Trestman (2008-2012, 2017-18) and Chris Jones (2014-18) have faced each other only 3 times before. The 2017-18 seasons are their only common years and in all 3 meetings Jones has prevailed over Trestman with Saskatchewan defeating Toronto. Toronto Off a Bye: The Argos have a current 3-game win streak when they are coming off a bye week - and that includes win this year over Edmonton in Week #4 (20-17), and over BC in Week #10 (24-23). With Saskatchewan being the opponent in their third post-bye week game, all three will be against West Division clubs. Toronto scoring by half: The Argos have scored 142 of their 236 total points in the 2nd half (60% of them) compared to just 94 in the 1st half where their margin is -99 (94-193). They have trailed at the half in their last 8 games and in 10 out of 11 in 2018. 27 TDs - 44% returns: Of Saskatchewan's 27 total TDs thus far, 15 have come on offence with 12 as returns of 4 different types. That represents 44% of their team total. That is by far the highest % in all of CFL history. 8 SSK Def. TD / 12 Return TDs: Each week continues to see a growing number of touchdowns scored by the Riders' defence this year. They now have a club record 8 Def. scores and have at least one in 7 of their 11 games. The CFL record is 11 defensive TDs set by BC in 1987. The Riders also returned 2 kicks last week for scores taking their total to 12 total return TDs. Narrow 2017-2018 Argos' games: All three Toronto wins this year have been by 3 points or less, they have 5 games overall decided by that margin including two defeats. Under Coach Trestman in 2017-18, they have had 11 of their 29 games decided by margins of 4 points or less. SSK field position: The Riders are #2 in the CFL in drive starting point with the 37.4-yard line their average for 2018. They have started 22 times inside their opponent's half of the field. Alexandre Gagne 13 STT: The Riders' 2nd year kick cover specialist continues to excel and has a 5-game streak with at least one Special Teams Tackle (9 STT's in that span). He is now up to 13 for the season 2 off the CFL lead. Last year he had just 1 STT. Kyran Moore: Has a career total of only 10 punt returns in his 4 games since joining the Riders but ... has returned two of those for touchdowns in the last 3 games. 3 different players with a Kick Return TD: The Riders have gotten kick returns TDs from Kyran Moore, Marcus Thigpen and Christion Jones in 2018. That is one short of the CFL record set by Edmonton in 1986 with 4 different players with a kick return TD. McLeod Bethel-Thompson: Is slated to make his 6th straight start for Toronto and though he has gone over 300 yards only once, he has exceeded 295 yards three times in 5 games. In his last start he threw 2 TD passes, his second multi-TD game in 5 contests. He has moved the ball well on offence directing 3 TD drives in each of the last two Argos' games. 416 yards per game allowed: Toronto ranks #8 in Net Offence allowed (416 yards per game) ahead of only Montreal (424 per game). Toronto opponents have gotten over 400 yards in 7 of the 11 games thus far. Eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders playing well is bad news for us. I really didn't expect any help from the Argos. Game is early though. Lots can happen yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 If the Argos can just hang around like Montreal did last night, the Riders are perfectly capable of blowing this game out their asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J5V Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 That throw by Collaros to Williams-Lambert for the 2nd TD was a perfect example of throwing it where the DB cannot make a play on it, unlike the Nichols throw to Adams last night.

Floyd Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Sask just handed a playoff spot... that is some garbage playcalling in the last minute - all you Lapo haters should be watching Trestman... TO needed five yards and Wilder was on fire so they abandon the run game and then throw a 40 yarder with 15 seconds left - wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
