GAME THREAD / Week 9 / Montreal @ Toronto

[BATKINSON001]

I hear it means something different in England.

Means the same thing here, telling someone to get stuffed. When I want to be polite about it.

I am disappointed and wrote to Copeland. I was counting on doubling up the score at half time for a 70-0 win. What the heck in the world happened in the second half. Damn I want my money back

Great game. I love a good blow out. It allows my stomach to be at ease. Great meeting 'gillthethrill' at the game. Cool to put a face with the name on this board. Looking forward to the next home game and debating a trip down the QEW on Labour Day....

Hey Tim it was my pleasure....your seats look like you would have a great view!

I think the Argos did a great job on changing the look of the defence yesterday. As I said before the game, Matt Black is not a safety. Great move starting him at corner and moving Vaughan to safety. Equally good was moving Ball to SAM and putting Plummer in at WILL. Tough loss losing AK on the corner. Despite the former SnowRogues thoughts, he has been very good on the boundary this year. He mag be tough to replace. I don't see another big boundary type corner on the roster. Should consider going after Bruce Johnson recently released by the Bombers.

Both Ottawa and Hamilton have recently released defensive backs that may warrant a look. Totally agree about signing Bruce Johnson. Perhaps versatile Johnny Sears returns from injury or maybe even Robert Woodson gets a shot, former Canada West star. But I doubt he will even get any decent reps in practice this week.

I was most impressed with our offensive scheme, seemed Ricky had time to go through his reads (and he did), SJ Green is the best receiver we’ve had since I’ve been a season ticket holder and they were ruthlessly efficient at redzone conversions when it mattered in the first half.

As much fun as I’ve had at a home game!

[Will]

S.J Green is (knock on wood) on pace for the best season by an Argo receiver since Derrell Mitchell in the late 1990's.

[mchesher03]

SJ Green is worth the price of admission. Forget even that we basically took a flyer on him with that trade.That trade paid off week 1, its all house money for the rest of the season.I’m very impressed at his ability to create separation and go get balls thrown to him consistently.

I'd love to see Woodson get reps, but as a 21 year old rookie, I think it's a lot to ask him to play the boundary. They move Rico Murray there on Saturday, but I don't see him as a boundary corner either.

Yeah, I think Murray is better suited to halfback although he has been very good wherever he's been asked to play this season. I'd prefer to keep Cassius Vaughn in the LB corps as well if it all possible.

I liked Vaughan at safety a lot. Until Gabriel comes back, they have to keep him there. The addition of Plummer to the starting LB group, also gave them an improved look against the run. A must for this week against a huge back in Messam.

Sounds like it would make sense. I agree the bigger body would be helpful in the front 7. Only thing is; I believe Joshua Mitchell, whom was their first choice to play FS, may also be coming off the list. Coach stated that he is expecting an influx of bodies to come available to him for the Calgary game. I don't attend practices, but would have to assume they would be Laing, Butler, Josh Mitchell, and Posey.

Posey's return would add another import for the 'O" which may cost Wilder a spot.

[Will]

I believe that Mitchell tweeted last week that he underwent surgery so he will not be returning anytime soon. Let me see if I can dig it up.

Ah, well that would be the season for him then.

[AngeloV]

Saw a tweet from Matthew Scianitti today that says that Butler is working out today, and that he, Laing and AK are all day to day. Good to see. I feared AK was done for the year.

[AngeloV]

I believe Joshua Mitchell, whom was their first choice to play FS,

Mitchell was at safety in camp when they were experimenting with Gabriel on the corner, but he started at field corner in the opener before going down.

[Shatto]

Interesting that Black is now an invaluable player who can play starting safety or corner, yet was cut just a week or two ago.

You've never seen this before?
