    What positional are are you most concerned with heading into the 2021 season?

    For me, I'm still not convinced about the OL.

    OL is the biggest question mark for me, too. I'm also concerned with the QB spot since Arbuckle, though he's looked solid, has limited experience starting games.

    We'll go as far as our OL takes us, I would say. There is a lot of enticing potential among the young NATs, but only a couple of them (Campbell, maybe Bladek) would be considered established starters. I can't wait to see what Richards, Simba and some of the recent draft choices turn into, but for now there are a lot of question marks.

    My concern is a relatively inexperienced coaching staff. Rookie HC, Rookie DC in Glenn Young, and JJ as OC has had a lot of QB coach experience but not much as an OC. I have confidence in all 3, but still unproven. Regarding the O-line, MacAdoo is a great o-line coach, so I’m not as worried as some at that position. Schemes help.

    DL and LB

    I'm concerned that they'll be TOO good - shutting down opposing offenses completely - and making the games too boring to watch.

    For me O-Line and D-Line, it all starts on the line of scrimmage on both sides which has been a weakness for this team in the recent past.
    Another factor will be how long it takes to develop team chemistry, new staff, schemes, massive roster overhaul and shortened schedule could be a factor.

    Not concerned about any one positional group but rather how long will it take this team of newcomers (players and staff) to jell. The first part of the schedule is particularly challenging for the Argos and if the team doesn't jell quickly it could be behind the eight ball very early in the season.

    Strange for me, i’m Not worried about how long it will take to gel. The way I see it, it’s been so long since anyone played, every team will be in the same position as far as continuity goes. I just don’t believe it will factor in.

    OL and DL with a bit of concern about QBs whose recent injury history around the CFL has been staggering.
