Week 1: Hamilton TigerCats @ Toronto Argonauts, June 23, 2016 @ BMO FIELD Game Thread

no backup RB (so Coombs could be pressed into service if needed).

This is not set in stone. The team has until some time tomorrow to set their 46 (I believe it's 2 hours prior to kickoff). This was the case a lot last year, where a player from the 46 was moved to the 1 game injured list on game day, and a player from the PR was then activated. I expect Kackert to be activated.

That's true. They could sit Miles or Bates to get Kackert in. Or Isaac but I doubt they will sit any LBs or D-linemen, so it pretty well has to be a receiver or Taylor.

Yes, I'm thinking it will be Miles or Bates.

How did Wallace Miles make the team in the first place anyway? Didn't hear much about him from camp, didn't really distinguish himself in the pre-season games, how did he end up ahead of Wylie and Ambles? To make matters even more confusing, on the website today, Wylie is listed on the active roster.

He was pretty good in the only pre-season game he played against Hamilton. 4 catches 49 yards and a TD.

Yeah I forgot about that. I think 3 of those catches were in garbage time with Mitchell Gale, but whatever Milanovich and Stubblefield decide is good with me. I was very impressed with Stubblefield in his interviews, he really looks like he knows his stuff, plus he was one of the great NCAA receivers of all time. I loved when he implied that Kenny Shaw was the most talented receiver on the team, just watch the monster season he's gonna have under Stubblefield.

I agree. Very likely was worth the wait, as he was announced late.
