GAME THREAD / Week 8 / Argonauts de Toronto v Alouettes de Montréal

[gilthethrill]

There's little question that the only way to upgrade the o-line at this stage would be with another INT. Jamal Campbell has played a lot of snaps as a sixth o-lineman but likely isn't yet ready to become a FT OT, Watman/Deane are more or less interchangeable, and below them the NATs (Sackey and Kolankowski) have had no playing time so are not ready. I don't think either of our INT OTs have been all that great, so I don't know that putting one of them in at RT or RG would make a huge difference. If we can find a game-changing INT from NFL cuts or somewhere else, I'd be fine with sitting an INT receiver. But if and when Posey gets healthy, I want him in the lineup.

I would have liked to have seen Tony Washington get claimed from Edmonton, but Hamilton wasted little time in signing him. I expect Mason Woods to be seeing action in the 2nd half of the season.

According to me, which automatically makes it wrong. Right?

Despite winning the game, Nik Lewis does not think the Als played well. Sounds like he's trying to wind up the team for the rematch this week.

Veteran slotback Nik Lewis, as is his custom, went around the dressing room, shaking the hand of each of his teammates. Then he returned to his stall and, as only he can do, was brutally frank.
“We played like crap,” Lewis admitted. “We didn’t play very well. We have to be able to finish drives and play better. I felt like we felt okay with having that lead and were lackadaisical. We need to go out and be better.
“Creating a winning culture is being able to go out and make it happen every week, not just in weeks that you play the Calgary’s and Edmonton’s and BC’s. You have to go out and play good football, and we’re not there yet. I’d like to think we’re better than a 3-4 team, but we’re a 3-4 team. Hopefully, when we talk about turning that corner, we can continue to win games until we build this structure where we’re playing like one of the best teams in this league.”
