July 5, 2014: Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Toronto Argonauts

[AngeloV]

Gabriel starts at safety,.

I'm excited to see Gabriel start at safety. I like Black, but I feel at safety you need more of a physical presence. Gabriel is a better tackler and harder hitter. I still think Black should be given a look at Field side corner.

When I look at the depth chart .... looks like the O will be a bit different....

Are we expecting to get better blocking with Steeles, Coombs and Woodson at RB. ? Interesting change.
It's also good to see Adjei behind Durie.
Zander isn't around so perhaps less TE looks.... although we still have Dupuis and Gillanders.

The D has been mentioned ..... but one question (sorry if its very basic) .... someone mentioned that Molden would be our SAM ..... how do you know its not the WIL position?

I definitely like a safety that scares receivers a bit; hopefully Gabriel can become such a guy. I think there's a good chance that he'll play his position well, since he seems pretty talented and has some experience now, but I'm not sure that he's ready to coordinate our raw secondary. He's one of the youngest guys on the team, and most of the rest of the guys are older ex-NFLers with a few weeks of CFL exposure. We'll see!

I don't know if this is consistent around the league (or world), but on our depth charts the LBs are listed in order of SAM / MIKE / WIL. That's never mentioned anywhere, by the way. Like a lot of CFL rules and conventions, one has to "figure it out".

Thanx, ..... always good to learn these things.

I just hope Ray won't have to run for his life as much as Collaros had to vs the Riders last week.

Maybe I am the only one thinking this but I do like our o-line a lot. IMO, there is no comparison between our o-line and Hamilton's. Milanovich even said in the Sun that the o-line had a "decent" game last week against Winnipeg and I expect them to play much better than that against the Riders.

[Do or Die]

Well, last week...was last week. Expect bounce back game from Argos. Just as long as your guys throttle the Riders, until their faces.....turn Double Blue.

Go Argos!

It'll be interesting to see how they will do, SSK does have a very good D-line but perhaps a little overrated vs a weak HAM line. I would love to see Lee get in some reps instead of another former Argo.

This may not really be "news" but Ricky Foley confirms in this Toronto Star article that he did not get along with Chris Jones: http://www.thestar.com/sports/argos/...nst_argos.html

Definitely not news. Probably not enough room in the locker room for the 2 egos.

Glad to be going to this game, especially since I couldn't watch last week's game live (PVR'd it). Not looking forward to seeing a sea of green in the stands, but at least they are passionate and should help boost the attendance figures.

[ArgoDave]

Sorry, this might not be the right place to post this. Just wondering if anyone has any ticket connections that they can share with me for the July 12th game. I was going to buy 2 tickets through ticketmaster but they want $72.65 each for bronze seats -- the same seats that are $54 + fees...that means ticket master is charging $18.65 in addition to the base price -- I realize that these prices are fairly reasonable when compared to other Toronto sports teams but still, it's a bit steep (especially for bronze seats). Oh yes, I also forgot about the $2 per ticket processing fee. I don't mind paying for the tickets but I remember having some promotional offers last year that allowed me to get bronze seats for around $40 each.

PM sent.

If Argofan81 doesn't want them I have 2 seats for the next game I cannot use, sec 121 3rd row up seats 1+2. You can have them for the same $ a scalper would give me, I'd rather see them go to a fan. Come see me at the tailgate in the parking lot down by Hoops on Bremner or at my seat during the game and they're yours.

[Wobbler]

I hope it's a nice day for the home opener and that those of you able to attend have a great time. I'll be watching on ESPN2!

I'm expecting a much better performance out of our guys this week. I suspect that some of last week's defensive problems came from not taking Winnipeg seriously enough, and that our new no-huddle offense just needed a bit more time in the oven. The long week of practice at home should have helped.

Prediction: Argos 29, Riders 24.

[gilthethrill]

Any idea when tennis is over on TSN so people can watch the Argos?

[Deerkeeper]

Just got home from work. Liking what I am seeing so far.

[Deerkeeper]

God Gawd, did the Argo defence think this game was over.

[Deerkeeper]

I'm not sure the time was right for a trick play. The Argos need to get some momentum back.

[Deerkeeper]

The bad news for today: 17700 in attendence. That really sucks.

[Deerkeeper]

Bradwells touchdown is just what the Argos needed. Shame about the missed two pointer

[Deerkeeper]

A big big win by the Argos. Was a bit worried by those two quick Rider TD's, but a pretty solid effort on both sides of the ball I thought.
