Wow! Argos win and suddenly all is right with the team. Lots of love around here for some players and coaches that were under the scope after the last games. The positive knee jerk reactions are better reading though! It is anyone's guess who wins the East now.
There is nothing but more adversity coming at this team in the next month with playing home games in Ottawa and maybe Hamilton. I feel this team could use that as motivation to bond together. Us, against the world.
I agree totally about Spencer and at one point he got up as two Redblacks chirped in his ear and he ignored them. I really like Spencer and we need to see more of him.
The only flaw I saw in Spencer Saturday was he was unable to maintain a block long enough on a running play. Vidal is more physical....not sure how he is going to get back in the lineup. Good to see Milanovich stick with one RB instead of rotating them each series. Whittaker was allowed to find a grove and his performance showed it. Martin Wright has looked ok in his 2 games as well.
I think they better get Kackert in there more often. If not rotating him at running back, have him play slot a few times. He can catch the ball and make yards. Why watse a good talent like that.
Sorry, he's not a slot back. He has ok hands for a running back, but catching the ball as a slot back is completely different. Most passes to RB's are releases, screens and swings. They are not in tight coverage at the time. I've noticed Kack has a tough time catching high balls. That won't work out of the slot back position. I would seriously consider playing Coombs more are RB in a set where you can get all 5 INT receivers on at the same time.
Actually Kack made some pretty good plays in the home game (remember what that is?) against Hamilton. He can still play, but at this stage I think Whitaker is a better fit. They IMO, don't need to be dressing 2 INT RB's.
It's us vs the rest of the country
We did well with Spencer and have to go with the status quo.
Kackert should stay and Hazleton has to sit again.
I kinda feel like Hazelton deserves a chance to show that the benching made an impact with him. Unfortunately, that creates the dilemma of having to take Spencer out of the lineup. I'd tend to agree with Angelo that they do not need to dress 2 INT running backs. Coombs could spell Whitaker if it is necessary.

I was in favour of dressing two RBs, but in view of how they used Whitaker last game I would be OK with sitting him. I think one RB needs to be in on most if not all series, to establish a rhythm.
