September 28, 2013: Toronto Argonauts vs. Edmonton

Reilly has concussion, i guess no surprise there.
I still have no idea what he was thinking when he hit him like that, Reilly had someone holding his legs, someone tackling him in the chest and then a 3rd guy had to rush in from the back helmet first? Can't he just lead with his arms and touch him?

I know that there has been a suggestion that Laing meant to hit Reilly in the back instead but he should not have been leading with his helmet regardless.

Actually, it is the crown of your helmet that you are not supposed to lead with. If he led with the facemask area of the helmet it would be legal. There is no way of telling what would have made first contact with Reilly had the Brown hit not changed the body position of Reilly.

I also need to take issue with those that are saying that Laing didn't need to hit Reilly because he was already in the grasp of 2 other Argos. In football, you are told to play to the whistle, period. Last week Kevin Glenn a couple of times escaped what looked like sure tackles to make plays. I'm pretty sure the Argos got an earful for giving up on those plays feeling the play was dead.

I'm actually a little surprised by this because you'd expect the Saskatchewan game to have the highest ratings every week, although combined with RDS numbers it will surpass.

Only if we had Sat night home games. Sigh.

​"ouch!!!"

It obviously happened really fast and i don't think it was intentional but the first few times i saw it i thought it was the ugliest hit i've seen in a very long time. It really made me sick.
