November 15, 2015: Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats

[ArgoFan1]

If you want to spend time tailgating, the best spot I've found, since you cannot park in Scott Park any more if not a season ticket holder, is a parking lot on Chapple Street, just North of Barton. Right behind the big church. Milanovich and Barker always park there. If you are not spending too much time before the game meeting with other fans in the parking lot, just park in someone's driveway or lawn. They charge more the closer you are to the stadium. You could try some residential streets farther away and take a long walk if you can find a place and park for free. To park anywhere near the stadium you are looking at $10 to$ 20.

[Wobbler]

Oh, they might try some fly sweeps or other run plays to Sinkfield or Banks; and they may have some designed QB run calls too; but no way in hell a Kenty coached team game plans a strong ground game to win and stick with mostly run play-calling. It will be typical CFL 75% or more pass play calls - from both teams - and I'd bet heavily on this. And gee, I wonder who should have the advantage there ? - the Argos led by a HOFer type QB with a very capable young QB in reserve; or the Ticats QB'd by the likes of a Masoli or one of other clowns they could trot out ?

I don't think "mostly run play-calling" has existed in professional football for a while, so yeah, that's not on the table. But Masoli is an excellent runner and loves to carry the ball. In addition to whatever designated run plays are called for him, I expect him to improvise a few run plays too. Fortunately we're pretty good against the run, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to sub out of our standard formations.

Depth chart

Green starts for Smith, Greenwood starts at WIL, VZ is back at RT, and Kackert is on the roster (no Steele). Gurley is listed as the boundary WR, which I think is a first for him. I'm curious to see what he can do with the (presumably) extra attention.

Oh, and Gabriel and Rolle are back, as I think was expected.

I could not help but notice that Marc Dile, a TC cut of Winnipeg, who has not played all year, is filling in for Jeremy Lewis at RT....the Argos must exploit this...repeatedly. Glad to see Kackert make the roster, hope he is able to get some carries.

[PullTogether73]

OV I disagree about Hamilton not having a run threat. I fully expect Hamilton to execute fly sweeps with Banks and Stinkfield (not a typo)...in addition I hope Creehan can have the D prepared for the Highschool qb run package that Masoli runs. If they can force that short stuff qb to throw the ball, even the Argo defensive backfield should finally be able to cover the receivers.

I read in an article this past week that Taylor Reed can't cover....get Whittaker matched up on him.

I just hope the Argos don't lose possession on another onside punt.
I still can't believe that Ottawa did that last week after seeing the Cats do it to the Argos earlier this season.

Last week Hamilton played all their cards while the Argos were able to play vanilla. This should have allowed Milanovich and staff to study film all week and be prepared for any thing.

Funny thing is, I don't think Ottawa was fooled by the onside punt as much as they just misplayed it.

He's an excellent runner, but he's also had fumbling issues. Hope that continues.

I'm going to this game and will be sitting in Section 116.

Questions:

1. What's the best (price and availability) place to park, assuming that I arrive by 12 noon?
2. How much glare do you have to deal with sitting in the East stand on a sunny afternoon?
3. Who is going and is there any plan for getting together before the game or at half-time ?

I like the Argos chances and I'm looking forward to a good game of CFL football !

We have parked for free on King Street past Holton Street. Easy walk to
THF and drive directly towards 406.

Argos have to play disciplined football in order to win this. I can see this game turning into a scrappy dogfight at the drop of a hat...

I really like the team we're fielding tomorrow!

Kackert and Whitaker gives us lots of offence and pass blocking strength.

ST look as a strong as they have been all season.

Ricky Ray starting after some work last week gives us as good a chance as we can expect.

On D, I hope DC Creehan dials up some creative D tomorrow. Let's go after their young QBs and make it a long day for them. Win or lose, let's do it aggressively. Don't want to go down with that bend and not break philosophy!

We'll be right behind the Argos bench, "Loud and Proud" tomorrow!

Remember Nelson at the Battle of Trafalger:

"The measure may be thought bold, but I am of the opinion the boldest are the safest."

[ArgoRavi]

He's an excellent runner, but he's also had fumbling issues. Hope that continues.

Which is why I don't think that Austin has much faith in Masoli. Clearly, Austin doesn't have much faith in Harris either considering that he pulled him so quickly last week and seemed to be upset with him on the sidelines. I hope that we see steam coming out of Austin's ears on a regular basis on Sunday.

[Wobbler]

I'm going to be a bit annoyed if they don't do a moment of silence for Paris tomorrow. Fortunately, that doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would be overlooked.

Totally agree with your assessment!
This game is definitely winnable by the Argos, but there is little margin for error.

Earlier in the week I didn't think they would dress Kackert but I watched the Winnipeg game that I PVR'd and he deserved the start. Love how he runs. I am really looked forward to the game tomorrow. Cannot wait!!!!

Let's hope that the Kack Attack is back!!
