    GAME THREAD - Week 3: Toronto Argonauts @ Ottawa Redblacks

    Saturday, July 8, 2017 at 7:00 PM

    Another big test for the Argonauts as they face the Redblacks at TD Place.

    The Redblacks defence has not looked great the first two games of the season, but Ricky will need time if he wants to take advantage of them the way that Bo Levi Mitchell did.

    Another big test for the Argos secondary as well.

    Not to sound like an excuse machine, but this will be the 2nd of 3 straight games in which the h Argos opponent will have an extra day off between games. July 24 will be advantage Argos.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Again Ray has to stay clean with no sacks or limited pressure in the pocket.
    With the return of Whitaker and the running game to keep the D honest.
    Our coverage on the other end of the ball must be vastly improved.

    Good luck trying to run against Ottawa, they shut down Messam completely in both games.
    Harris was sacked 4 times in the last game but passed for over 400 yards and 4 TDs.
    Chris Williams who? Dionte Spencer is a huge threat not only as a receiver but punt returner.

    Anyone travelling to Ottawa for the game? We'll on VIA Rail tomorrow morning and spend a couple days in the nations capital. Remember to use FOOTBALL discount code when traveling to. CFL GAME BY VIA.

    Easy there. Spencer had one good game.

    As I mentioned before, Spencers punt return was a thing of beauty...by his blockers. Not to take anything away from him, but anyone could have taken that punt to the house. He will get slapped around this Saturday night, as will his teamates.

    I was planning but hear it is already sold out. Argos are a big draw in some towns.

    - Whitaker is back
    - Deane and W Campbell have been taken off the 1 game IR and are listed as backups
    - Paden is starting in place of Fuller (placed on the I game IR)
    - Prukop is listed as the 4th QB for some reason

    Now that I think about it, dressing Prukop is a great idea. We'll probably be up by five or six TDs by the second quarter, so it'll be a great chance to give the backups some work.

    That's interesting about Prukop. Looks like he is on the 46 man roster right now, which means he is getting paid his game day salary and not the PR money. Could also mean another team was trying to steal him off the practice roster. Saskatchewan? Montreal?
    We will have to see how Paden performs. Never thought he stood out that much with Ottawa. IMO that would be a good position to go Canadian and add another import on the O Line. Ricky's health is #1 in my books. Noel, backed by Jones, Ralph and young Williams are as good as many other Canadian starters in the League IMO. With Ricky Ray throwing the ball to them would give them every option to succeed.

    Are we really dressing 4 QBs?

    Maybe Ricky got dinged up in practice. I haven't heard anything about the QB situation all week. Imagine the Redblacks seeing Fajardo coming in for the first series.

    No. Prukop will be one of the two scratches.

    Happy to see Prukop on the 46 at the very least.

    As for the game itself, I think it's yet another good litmus test for the Argonauts defence, as Ottawa has been pretty good on offence so far. Ottawa's defence on the other hand isn't looking that great, so we'll see what Trestman and Ray can do.

    is there a spot where we are gathering to watch the out of town games this year?? Last year was near U of T, I recall, but I never managed to get there for a game, but was looking to do something like that tonight. I was so close to deciding to drive there for the game today.

    I'd love to know who put in a bid for Prukop. Bet it was an Eastern team. Forcing Argos to put him on the 46 takes away a certain amount of roster flexibility, so it might have been Ottawa.
