    Another clue to the quality of our D is our play against rookie QB's (Marve and Franklin) for example, these guys look like all stars when playing the Argos yet in subsequent games facing defensive systems designed by Stubler, Chris Jones, Noel Thorpe and the like look like overmatched rookies in over their heads.

    All things being equal, one could chalk that partially to the fact that the other teams had film on the guy while the Argos did not. However, with this defense I don't know how much can be attributed to the film reasons or even if it can be at all.

    Or most likely this Argonaut D is easier to predict and game plan against, savvy DC's like Thorpe, Stubler Jones etc seem to know how to confuse inexperienced QB's while we don't seem to have this knack.
