    The loss of Kackert at his healthiest is something the Argos cannot replace. However, Norwood has shown that he is both a very capable rusher and receiver out of the backfield. Kackert's ongoing series of injuries this year and last raise questions about whether he can be their longterm solution as running back in the future.

    I agree, Jerry. That is an awful lot of injuries that he has suffered in the last couple of years. I was thinking that the Argos should dress Norwood for the EF anyway, even though Steele is the better special teams player, because of Kackert's extensive injury history.

    Just saw Lance Brown talking about this. Unreal and I feel for Kack with this year of injuries he's had. In past years I'd have felt much worse but finally we have depth. As much as I love to see Kack scamper downfield it could be nice to see Norwood with playing very meaningful football just running db's over. Hope it's not so serious and Kackert is back.

    I just hope Montreal and Hamilton just pound the crap out of each other in the hardest hitting game of the year.

    Norwood has done a great job replacing Kackert this season, I'm not concerned at all, further to Jerry's point I don't believe Kackert will turn out to be the long term guy after all.

    Zicarelli alluded to this in his article but has anyone noticed how much slipping and sliding players do on the SkyDome turf? It sounds as though that is how Kackert was injured.

    I've noticed that all season. This turf seems to have seen its better days.

    I can't believe how bad the slipping and sliding is. Last game I was calling them all Bambi On Ice.

    This is a huge loss for the Argos. Kackert gives the added dimension of break away speed that Norwood (no disrespect, I am glad he is on the roster) that really solidifies the offence. I strongly suspect Hamilton will be in town on the 17th & they will give Ricky Ray & Co all they can handle. How ironic, Kackert is kept out of the season finale only to suffer this fate in practise.

    Kackert is the best all-purpose back that the Argos have and he does provide a burst that none of the other backs can. That was quite evident again during the last Winnipeg game.

    Let Rod Black remind everyone that Norwood was the first player in NFL history to have his first two career touchdown runs each go 70+ yards.

    The Argos can not get into their own stadium (i.e., at the very least a venue with a quality playing field, where the team is not treated like garbage) soon enough!

    No worries with Norwood staring, and he's quite capable of scampering in, say, 39+ yards for the TD, via either the run or the pass.

    Not good but it will be nice to see Norwood pound some Hamilton db's down. Black is an asshole!

    Not a very good year for him. Hopefully he'll be back at 100% come Training Camp.

    What a tough loss - most explosive RB in the league when he's healthy IMO; but Norwood is quite capable - more power and has some burst and explosiveness too; I hope the Argos O does not totally abandon the run game - gotta run some still even with the way Ray has been playing (incredible passing accuracy and reads) - or the Ticats might tee off on pass rush and get to Ray and cause turn-overs or sack yardage losses.
