October 14th 2012: Montreal Alouettes vs. Toronto Argonauts

[Ron]

Even if Ricky Ray had been playing last night, the o-line appeared constructed of paper mache against a Montreal D that really is not very good except against the Argos.

One thing Ray does that Jackson doesn't is hit hot routes that kill QB pressure. Most of those all out pressures by Montreal would have been paid for if Ray was there. Naturally Montreal knew that so you saw what you saw.

I predict we will host Edmonton in the "Eastern Semi" & bow out with a whimper.

agreed - we aren't even competitive with the Western Division teams.... (except Calgary whose number we seem to have for some reason....)

Chris Jones needs to cut Williams after that sad attempt to tackle Richardson on the sidelines!
He was given control over defensive personnel and Parker and Shell were not resigned.
Those two guys know how to tackle and never let up! Williams is an embarrassment to players and fans alike.

Williams is a reciever turned DB. Maybe he should stay on that side of the ball. Time to bring back Carrol into the lineup.

I couldn't tell for sure from where I was sitting, but on the Jumbotron it looked like Younger would have been short of the first down even if it was ruled complete. The Argo sideline got a good look at that play, so even if they thought he caught the ball, I don't think the Als retaining possession five yards further back is worth a challenge.

Even if it was a catch, the TSN cameras showed that Younger fumbled right after as well and it was recovered by Emry IIRC. In other words, the only question on that play was if it was no catch or a catch and a fumble. There was simply nothing for Milanovich to challenge there. I did think that if Younger had hung onto that ball that it would have been a first down but it would have been close.

You are absolutely correct, Ron. Ray takes pressure off of the offensive line with his quick release. I know that this team has some issues even with Ray in the lineup but I honestly believe that yesterday's game may very well have been an Argo victory with Ray at QB. Remember that the defence only gave up 17 points despite the offence going two and out for most of the second half.

I would like to know why Carrol has been out of the lineup this long.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 2004 scenario repeated itself.

[Rich]

Just looked at game stats. We ran the ball 5 times with Riggs and Jackson once for a total of 22 yards.

If this coach truly believed we could beat Montreal on the strength of Jackson's passing ability alone, then his judgement needs to be seriously questioned.

Williams is gone.
