Toronto Argonauts @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats: Pre-season Game Thread

[Will]

The Argos take a trip down the QEW to the Donut to play the Ticats in their 2nd pre-season game. The cutdown deadline is Saturday night so it'll be a long 24 hours or so for Trestman & Co to get this team down to size. Some logjams to be cleared up at receiver and it's time to figure out who will protect Ricky Ray's blindside.

Just read today how the team still has the same 6 QB's on the roster and expects all to play during the game.
Not sure how that will work?

Easy: use them two at a time. We'll have the best flea flicker play in the league!

I'll be at the game. Section 103 otherwise known as "BOX J" right behind the Cats bench. What have I done?

Ya, gotta question your sanity on that one.

Sweet. Thanks for that info. Would much rather watching the game on our site, vs. the TiCats one.

#93 Martin and #91 Cash have gone missing from the Roster. Must be cuts. I thought Cash would stick.

Cash is injured.

Bishop looked dominating in the first pre season game.

Also looked good at practice yesterday.

[ArgoGabe22]

Cash and Martin still appears on the roster for me. Might not be on depth chart due to injury.

A rare "Argos" article in this mornings Toronto Star. It looks like Curtis Rush will cover the team this year as a freelance writer a year after his retirement. Interesting comment about how the team can't carry two kickers this year? I wonder what the basis of that comment is? A lot of teams did exactly that last year.

Here's the Ticat depth chart.

Here's the Ticat depth chart.

It doesn't matter for an ex. game, but the Ticats have only 6 NI starters listed there - and they won't be able to do that for regular season.


3 interior O-linemen + one receiver (last year's draft pick Mike Jones with Fantuz out) - I'm guessing will be the only 4 on offence. So they will need 3 on D.
Ted Laurent is a fixture at DT; and that depth chart shows Courtney Stephen at safety, but I think Craig Butler is going to start there in reg. season (?); so, either Stephen goes back to start at corner, or else they might have to go with 2 starting NI DTs (Atkinson has experience, plus former draft pick Evan Gill or this year's pick Justin Vaughn in the mix?)

Poor Kenty and Tillspin and that annoying "ratio problem".

Should be a good test, the Ticats are showing most of their 1st stringers starting and the Argos showing most starters.

Look at what happened last night in Montreal, the Als first stringers against Ottawa back ups and a 3rd and 4th string QB. Most of the RBs players were rookies who never played the CFL game before.
Tough to evaluate talent when the rosters are lopsided.
It was a little sickening to see Als veteran players "showboating" after a TD in a pre-season game against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

I wouldn't trust any of the depth charts. Argos got sneaky and list players in numerical order, which does not necessarily mean they are starting. Ticats too could be fibbing with who starts.

It doesn't say that the team can't carry two kickers this year.
