As previously posted by jerrym and timlb01, Coombs and Lemon are expected to return this week. If they help us to win and secure the playoff bye: great! If we lose, at least they'll be warmed up for when things get serious...
Travelling to the west coast is always tough and B.C. is talented, but I'm expecting a big win.
I agree with you. I think the team will be ready and primed. This game will be very tight I believe. Is there any word on Marcus Ball and when he may return? Looking forward to watching the game.Quote:

If that is true, let's hope that he doesn't have the type of game against us that Brandon Bridge did when we played the Roughriders. IMO, the Argos really need this victory to build confidence for a run to the Grey Cup. I don't like their chances as much if they have to first win the Eastern semi-final against a West division team.Quote:

With Wilder running wild again and Coombs and Lemon back, I'm expecting an Argo win even if Jennings plays like he did last yard as he did against Winnipeg.
Depth chart is out.
Coombs, Lemon and Woodson are all back. Looks like Darby is out with Ford moving to HB and White back to field corner. Jones backs up Coombs in place of an injured Ralph. With the exception of Ball, Ralph and Darby, this might be the healthiest line up all year.

Sorry to see both Harris and Darby out. Ford has been OK this year, but Harris is better IMO. Good to see Lemon and, of course, Coombs back. With no McDaniel, I don't know who the emergency kicker is. I assume Mathews and either Woodson or Webster will be scratched. Wonder how much PT Bass will get at LB.
Note Ralph has been six-gamed. Given there would be little or no salary saving from such a move at this time of year, I am guessing his season is over, unfortunately.
think the emergency Kicker/Punter is Malcolm WilliamsQuote:

Further up, it says that he has been placed on the one-game; at the bottom, it says the six-game but I am inclined to believe the former over the latter. One newspaper article this week seemed to indicate that it was a minor foot injury that Ralph has.Quote:

Still, I see Argos coming out strong, well rested after the bye (thus taking the edge off of the time difference and travel). If BC stays in the game into the 2nd half, it'll be an entertaining finish, as they have a lot of talent and nothing to lose. I still see Argos winning in the end, as I believe they really, as a franchise, would prefer to host the East Final, as they'd have more time to promote that game.
A quick start is needed as we get the kickoff.
