June 27, 2015: Edmonton vs. Toronto Argonauts

If the Argos were to start nine (easily doable this year, IMO) they could sub an INT in for Foley or Laing any time they wanted.

yeah but it sounds like they may be only starting 4 on offence which is why i raised the question

Not sure I understand then. If they start four on O and four on D they can replace any one of them with an INT and still be within the ratio, I believe. If they start nine they can replace two. So in the example you gave, if there are four on O then one of the four on D can be subbed out.

Thanks Paul you've answered my question. If they go 4 NAT on O then they're pretty much committed to going 4 NAT on D, and was just wondering about the practicalities of that, esp. since they haven't had 4 NAT starters on D since... ???
