We knew that RG might be an issue with Watman and/or Deane, but the fact that LG is an issue (mind you Holmes wasn't great last year) is certainly not helpful.

How many passes have we dropped in the endzone this year? not just tonight, but in 4 games...at least 5 by my count. It was same thing last year.

3 last night alone.
I have mentioned this before, but I talked to an O Lineman here in Ottawa who has played against Bishop, and he called him 'very strong.' I think he soaks up blocks and lets the others freelance a little more. I have also found that these little fan boards tend to settle in on who they want to target and pick on and then it seems to become reality.
The only things they see after that, are the negatives.
AK was one, Bishop was one, Heath when he was here, Van Zeyl, Van Roten; guys who have been very good.
Interesting comment about our Guards. I'll iso them more coming up and see if I can see what you are seeing. Holmes has been a solid pro, so it would surprise me if that didn't continue. Injury would be about the only explanation there? I know fans like to get on Watman; but coaches seem to like him. Reminds me of Wayne Smith. Fans were counting him out for about 5 years in a row.
At the end of the day, the O-Line does need an upgrade. I wouldn't mind seeing Van Roten back in there playing Guard to be honest. We need to run the ball and Ricky needs another beat or two.
All true. There are, and should be, concerns (although, happily, the team is apparently now well and truly on an upward trajectory; such a refreshing change).
I remember back in the day - when the only thing that the Argos had was a rather decent yet invariably worn down defence - Montreal, in particular, running the ball very often and thereby bulldozing the Argos into a spent mass.
The league should never schedule team's to play on 5 days rest ever. There is no excuse for it or play more than 2 weeks on the road. The fact the Argos have already done this twice in 4 weeks and other teams are playing 4 games in 17 days is insane. It speaks to laziness at league office and lack of will to find a solution. They are asking for poor play and injuries.
GO ARGOS!!!
