I am finally going to an Argo game to see Edmonton. I always take the GO Train in from Clarkeson, but one of my buddies who is going is insisting on driving right to the stadium (I have suggested the GO Train). Are there any events/construction going on next weekend that we should know about? Everytime someone insists on driving to the stadium it seems we always miss the 1st quarter & I end up wishing I saw the entire game from home.

Nothing I'm aware of, except for the usual Gardner lane reductions.

With Hamilton and Montreal winning on the weekend and leading the Argos by one game, it is vital that the Argos respond with an all-out effort. Building on the revitalized air attack created by the return of Owen and Durie is important. However, keeping up the ground game that Steele and Slaton established by gaining 73 and 52 yards respectively against BC is also key. Many of the close Argo losses occurred when the air attack stalled and the ground game was abandoned in the second half.

Funny how the defence will improve now that Ray is able work with his weapons. Edmonton won't do so well since they don't face Chico Sunsuri on Saturday.....

I *think* I heard Milanovich say (during the last three seconds of today's post-practice interview) that Laing is injured and will be out for a couple of weeks. Presumably Harrell will stop being "injured" this week. We started nine nationals against BC, but Bradwell sure didn't seem to get many reps. Nevertheless, I'm guessing that he'll start again at WR.

On the Eskimos side of things, Esks were expecting DE Marcus Howard back after a six-game IR stint with a broken thumb; he has re-injured thumb at practice this week and is back on the 6-game. Esks have had good depth with Ends, so they should be okay.
Esks have also signed former Lion/Redblack WR Paris Jackson to help fill a hole at Canadian receiver due to injuries to Shamawd Chambers & Devon Bailey.
Also plucked off Montreal's PR was 2012 draft pick DE Bo Adebayo. He will probably help on special teams and help out on the line when ratio is an issue.

Good info hugo. Hopefully the Argos can harass Riley even though Laing is out for a couple weeks. Will be interesting if the Argos employ an all International Dline...perhaps either mainstays on the IR Kyle Moore or Marcus Thomas fill in.

[Wobbler]

Ugh. I hope Durie's injury is minor, but if they had to cart him off the field there's a good chance he won't play this week.

When will the injuries end? This is incredibly frustrating.

[Will]

Oh for ****'s sake.

[gilthethrill]

If an Argo gets injured, it is never minor....when will this end?????

[gilthethrill]

I find it odd that the Sun is the only media that has mentioned Durie getting injured at practice....

Well they're really the only ones who cover the team on a daily basis. I don't think any other media outlets even go to practice on a regular basis.

Also strange that there is no mention on either the Argos or the CFL website on it. Nothing on Sportscentre last night either.

Well, no mention of Durie wearing a sling, but I doubt he will be in uniform again any time soon. Does Adjei potentially replace him to keep the ratio in check? If both Durie & Lang are out for any period of time, that is 2 starting Nationals (formerly Non-Imports) along with Matt Black that will be missed.

[Argos23]

Drurie ruled out for game this wekeend.

Anthony Coombs is the ideal replacement IMO but, of course, he too is out for the season. If Robert Gill is healthy, I could see him in Durie's spot.

If it's true that Anthony Woodson took his reps in practice yesterday, that too can be interesting. Likely not as explosive as Durie, but still as a running back, he may be able to break some tackles running the short routes that Durie does.
