Agreed Ron, don't understand the Sunday evening start time, what ever happened to Sunday afternoon football with the lid open.

So, any idea where i get those thundersticks? Assume i don't buy the Vuvuzela?

**Wobbler** · 08-16-2013, 09:34 PM

According to Scianitti, Porter took most of the first team reps at RB today but Steele did get some too. Also, Iglesias has a claimed ankle injury - Norwood was returning most of the punts. I don't think we can dress more than two of Steele, Porter, Chiles, and Norwood on Sunday...

Unless the possibility of TSN wanting the game in primetime?

**flafson** · 08-17-2013, 12:59 AM

Weird, just saw on TSN that our game suppose to be at 4pm, must be a typo right? Should be at 7pm.

I hope that we aren't getting the 'night shift' because the Blue Jays played on Thursday, and Rogers are insisting on the full 72 hours for conversion to football. I think that TSN would have preferred an afternoon game, especially for western fans. It makes as much sense as Tuesday night games.

Argonauts won't take Eskimos for granted.

Injuries putting Argonauts depth to the test.

Argos look to separate themselves from the pack.

As for the 7:00 PM start time. The Roughriders have been known to play 7:00 home games on Sundays in the past, but I don't know if I can recall another time when it was scheduled for another team in the league.

**294life** · 08-17-2013, 11:44 AM

They better not take them for granted. They could easily be 3-3 right now.

Depth Chart

**ArgoGabe22** · 08-17-2013, 03:58 PM

They must be serious with Washington at DT if they list him there and change his number. I thought they were just trying it out for one practice.

**ArgoRavi** · 08-17-2013, 03:59 PM

Tony Washington is listed as a backup at defensive tackle wearing #93. I wonder if he will actually play though or be one of the four scratches. BTW, the Argos continue to start eight non-imports with three of those being on defence.

**Will** · 08-17-2013, 04:16 PM

If I had to guess then I would guess Washington will be one of the scratches.

**D-Gap-Willie** · 08-18-2013, 09:34 AM

I'm curious about Collaros showing on the depth chart at #3 behind Ray and Harris. Is he a little bit dinged, or is Harris thought to be a better fit against the Eskimo's defense ? or ?

**jerrym** · 08-18-2013, 10:27 AM

Glad to see you guys are keeping the Argos on the straight and narrow. Keep up the good work. Unfortunately on my recruiting drive through England, Ireland, France, Italy and Greece, I have been any promising prospective players, although I have seen quite a few potential Argo cheerleaders. I'll be back for the September 3rd game (hopefully another Montreal slaughter).

**Wobbler** · 08-18-2013, 12:46 PM

The Eskimos have a lot of injury-related lineup changes this week. It would be surprising if they didn't exhibit a bit of confusion on D and in the OL...

- Aaron Grymes (short side corner and their best DB) was injured in practice and is replaced by Joe Burnett (regular wide side corner and their second best DB)
- Bryan Williams will make his CFL debut at wide side corner
- JC Sherritt is hurt, and Rennie Curran will make his CFL debut at MLB

- Right tackle Branden Curry is hurt, so Matt O'Donnell will move from left guard to right tackle
- Miles Mason will make his CFL debut at left guard (an import guard!)
- Alexander Krausnick has finally recovered from a TC injury and will play his first game of the season at center

3 starters in D may just give them the opportunity to play both Chiles and Inman on offence in certain looks.

The depth chart hasn't exactly been 100% accurate this season.

The Esks are certainly ripe for the picking with these changes. Hopefully the Argos can get a lot of pressure on Reilly and Ray can exploit the Eskimo defensive backfield although I would be hoping for both even with all of the Edmonton starters in.
