    GAME THREAD / Week 6 / Winnipeg @ Toronto

    Would sure be nice to get back in the win column.

    IMO, very doable and I think Franklin puts some pieces together and we get some nice offensive output this game.

    Defensively, key on Harris and make Nicholls try to beat us. As others have posted on another thread, I’m not fussed about Darvin Adams – agree that he’s a tad overrated.

     Nichols did not look good against BC - threw some bad picks; agreed that key is to try to limit Harris - guy is a beast of a RB and the focal point of their offence; but they have some good receiver talent (over-rated Adams still has some big-play capability) and the Argo D-backfield has not looked that good in coverage.

    Key to this game will be Franklin and the Argo offence showing some smarts to move the ball and keep time of possession up. Bomber D has some talent, but is not that great and can beaten.

    Winnipeg Defence tends to give up yardage similar to a drunk guy handing out Halloween candy. Franklin has a big game as does Wilder. Argos win.

    IMO, if the Argos, at home, cannot win this one => definitely deepening doo-doo.

    I agree. They should win at home. Stopping Harris is key, because he seems to play well against us. If the Argos do win, they then face the same situation as they did against Edmonton. If we end up splitting this head to head match-up, the problem is that the Argos are no farther ahead and we would just be treading water. It would be great if we could take both games from Winnipeg and start building some real momentum. Taking both games is going to be difficult.

    If the Argos can keep the Bomber offence from splurging in points, as they did against Edmonton in the last two games, they have a good chance of winning.

    as for argo d - i think the zone def called by the dc is to blame - argo d is far too lax in zone - the argo d is full of ball hawks - let 'em go do it !

    Is there not a hard deadline on when the depth chart has to be out? Maybe I’m just antsy but we’re within 48 hours of game time here.

    It's 24 hours, but even that is not set in stone. Game day roster moves can be made up to 1 hour prior to kickoff.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Nice to see Barry Hassan getting in the lineup this week.

    The defensive backfield not filling me with a lot of confidence and with Ball out Harris may have an easier time of it. Notice that Noel has taken the starter's spot from Ralph at RB/SB with Smith moving to boundary WR.

    Hoping to see Barry bring his hustle like he did in McMaster, not sure why he was placed on suspended list at the start of the season.

    Glad to see Noel moves to slot, and Smith listed as starting at WR. Curious to see how Washington does at lb. He looked great in preseason but I thought Dowling looked good last week. I'm not able to attend the game or watch it unless I can somehow defeat some streaming and wifi issues so I hope you guys will provide a lot of commentary and notes. I fully expect Argos to win and have a funny feeling it might not be close.

    Just a note, in case anyone isn't aware of it, "The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place voted today to lock out members of IATSE Local 58 as of 12:01 a.m. this Friday."

    I had forgotten about Barry. Looks like he is dressing ahead of Finley. I guess Trestman expects Winnipeg to run the ball and want a bigger body in the interior. Finley is built more like a DE at 260.

    I don't fully understand how the transactions work when he was suspended, but then removed from active roster, added to practice roster and now we're seeing him on the starting lineup.

    I'm not a GM for a reason

    Keep in mind, these people have been bargaining in good faith and are not on strike. They've been locked out. An important difference!
