Following the late regime change, I told myself that an 8 win season would have to be considered a great success. Marc Trestman has surpassed my expectations of him and I too am buying what he is selling. He is even better than I imagined. You can see it in the players, and you hear Trestman's words echo on-camera or in the sound bites.
The last time we found success, we had a team that had bought in and played hard for each other. They played like a band of brothers. Players like Kackert, Durie, Foley, Ball, Chad Owens, Swayze, Belli, Van Zeyl.
This team is buying what Trestman is selling and they are because he is the consummate pro (who teaches team first) who is a part time professor, physiologist, father figure, good citizen, good family man and an adaptive and proficient football coach.
I believe this team will play to the end and compete for a Grey Cup.
It is amazing what a running game has done for the Offensive Line and in turn for Ricky Ray's health. We must always strive for a dominant, game changer who plays for the team.
Nearly every time the Argos have had a game changer in the backfield, the O-Line and the Quarterback find success through players like Mike Clemons, Robert Drummond, Mike Jenkins, Chad Kackert, Gil Fenerty, Cedric Minter and Bill Symons
With Trestman, I believe that Jim Popp can keep feeding him the type of football players that will keep this program winning on the field and building in the community.
For the first time in several years, we finally have a big play Defense that can win a game on their own accord. This team can win in any one of the 3 phases, as is called for.
Enjoy your weekend, and congrats to all.
