After being chewed up and spit out by the Tiger-Cats and Eskimos last month, the Toronto Argonauts have found their swagger again.
It wasn’t that long ago the Argos were on a three-game skid in which they gave up 115 points. Winning two straight games, however, can do wonders.
“Hopefully this means we’re starting to peak and get hot at the right time,” defensive end Ricky Foley said.
An indication their swagger — or at least an all-for-one mentality — is back came before Thursday’s walkthrough, part of the preparations for the Argos’ Thanksgiving Day game in Montreal.
The Star asked to talk to Trevor Harris, Chad Owens and Foley. Usually, each person is interviewed separately. But when the walkthrough was over, the three sauntered over to the reporter and asked if they could to the interviews together. A bonding moment.
Owens even chirped the reporter for calling him a “tiny veteran” in a tweet describing his one-handed touchdown catch that beat Ottawa with 24 seconds left on Tuesday.
“When you’re so used to throwing to 6-foot-3 plus (receivers), he’s (Trevor Harris) had to adjust to me,” the 5-foot-8 Owens joked before turning serious. “Little . . . big . . . it don’t matter. We’re all the same. We’re going to make plays.”
