July 26, 2014: Toronto Argonauts vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders

[Argo]

Are you forgetting they are 0-2 so far on the road...against teams that IMO have no business beating them.

Yes, I guess I was.

[Ron]

Me thinks that the gentleman's comment above kinda sum's up this season, and last season.

He says that every year ... even when they win the Cup.

Depth chart notes

- Johnson returns as the "backup" RB, presumably because Slaton is hurt. I didn't notice any performance-based reasons to sit Slaton.
- Zander Robinson is back at FB/TE. I'm happy to see that.
- Mo Mann has been activated and is listed as our starter at WR. Chiles is also active, but listed as a SB. It's not yet clear whether JC healthy enough to actually play, though.
- Matt Sewell is our starting left tackle, and Mitchell has been activated as a backup. This is a nice opportunity for Sewell - I hope Ray survives it!
- No changes on D.

I think Slaton hurt his hand. Too bad, he looked great catching passes in the flat last Friday. I am looking forward to see what Sewell can do against Foley.

[Wobbler]

Chris Getzlaf and former Argo Dominic Picard were apparently injured in practice this week and won't play Saturday. It's possible that they might have some read/snap/protection issues as a result, but of course we have plenty of problems of our own...

If we can believe the posted depth chart, I count 9 starting Canadians (6 on O and 3 on D). Let's hope the rise to the occasion and perhaps start a future trend for the Boatmen.

This is great -- shows we have a good pool of NATs, and gives the coaches lots of roster flexibility to interchange guys as needed.

Ron you just don't get it. When you expect nothing and it ends up that we win the Grey Cup it makes it that much sweeter. When you expect nothing and get that then you don't cry as much. haha.

B.C. started 9 Canadians last night. Then Kevin Glenn happened, and that was that.

[gilthethrill]

I am going wear my vintage Holloway jersey tonight in favour of my Spencer Watt practice jersey....not sure if that will have any bearing on the outcome of the game though....my Argo room will be loud...sorry my pics did not show up, but AV can vouch that is does in fact exist.....GO ARGOS!!!!

[jerrym]

After the Argos' drubbing of Saskatchewan in what already seems like another era considering Argos subsequent play, the Riders and their rabid fans will be waiting like lions for the Christians in this one. This will be a real test of the Argo players' mettle.

Indeed. Each of those guys is either a legitimate starter or someone we projected as a future starter. We're in the process of finding out how realistic those projections were.

Very upset that someone else is picking on Kevin Glenn. I thought it was agreed that is MY responsibility.

[Argo]

Kevin has had wonderful luck getting opportunities to play, and get paid well, after being relegated to perma-backup.

So... we're down two *more* receivers compared to last week. Chiles can't go, and Sinkfield wasn't on the 44. I assume that he's banged up as well, because it's not like we're in a position to pick and choose who runs routes these days!

You are correct that Sinkfield is banged up as well. This is a great opportunity for the likes of Adams, Fayson, and Mann to step up.

Ray throws interception on first throw. Gonna be a long night.

[jerrym]

I said earlier this could be like the lions and the Christians. With Ray's interception and the Rider's TD the Rider fans just saw the first and second lion meals.

Good challenge by the Riders....its still early....but so far, not so good

[QBall]

Two turnovers on first two possessions.
