    That number has significantly decreased since the arrival of Jonathan Himebauch. IMO, he has been the biggest difference maker for the O since his arrival.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Agree. And we've all been talking about a dominant running game around here forever. It changes everything and makes everyone look, and play better. See the confidence the O-Line grabs? You can actually see it in their demeanor. They are bulls that want to the gate to open so they can start bucking downfield.

    The timing of Himebauch's positive arrival, Brandon Washington to RG, and the Wild Thing all together; has all worked out so well, that I would not be surprised if this team actually won the Grey Cup.

    Seasons turn like that, especially in this league. We have been witness to such positive O.Line turnarounds here before and it has resulted in paydirt.

    BTW, kudos to all Argo fans here. Looking back at this thread was rather impressive. Many (most) of us had some very interesting, and perceptive observations heading into this season.

    I agree. Wilder's running and the dramatic improvement in the OL's performance have been mutually reinforcing leading to the Argos peaking at just the right time.

    I just went through this thread again, and unless I'm mistaken or missed something not a single person predicted a Grey Cup berth for us this year. Most were doubtful we'd even be better than last year. Regardless if we win or lose next week, you can't help but be proud of this team and what we did this year.

    Unblievable result this year. Popp and Trestman are unreal. There is no way this happens if they did not bring those guys in. Amazing year and hopefully we will all be happy next Sunday night!!!
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!
