Gameday Thread - Hamilton at Toronto on August 6th, 2022

[ArgoRavi]

Just waiting for Argonauts.ca to have the depth chart up but I did see it on Twitter and the highlights include the return of Davaris Daniels and Eric Rogers with Daniels moving to wide receiver, an all-Canadian offensive line with Philip Blake and Shane Richards at the tackle positions, and nine Canadian starters.

If the offensive line can have a strong game on Saturday night, I like the Argos' chances of victory. That will be the key, in my opinion.

It’s been up on CFL.ca game centre for a couple of hours. Go to game notes and you can click on the depth chart.

Happy to see Banks as a back up at receiver. He should only have certain packages on Offence.

I realize this is slightly off topic, but Argo57 might agree with me on this one. With the Hamilton Honey Badgers sporting a 14-5 record and 1st place, could that motivate the Ti-Cats to replicate their cross town basketball team’s success?

Wish they would bring or display the Ballard Cup at one of these games... would be cool to get a pic of the most important CFL prize... Go ARRGOS !!!

I’m hoping there is no cross pollination between the Honey Badgers success and the Tiger Cats.

Noll, playing his first game (I think), and Churchill are the backup o-linemen. Hope our starters stay healthy and play well. I thought the original plan was to have Noll return to school this year, but I guess that is out now.

On the bad news front, Brescacin and Nicastro each get a second six-game injury stint. I'll be surprised if we see either guy play this year. Nicastro is definitely recovering from an injury; I don't know what is holding Brescacin from getting back in the lineup, but I doubt he is so seriously injured that he needs to be on the six.

Good news is that Dejon Allen and Deointe Knight are only on the one-game. Knight had been sixed since week 1.

Not sure if I trust the injury list. Dinwiddie in his post practice presser on Thursday said Brescacin is really close.

I think they’re trying to throw the Cats off the scent. I think they’ve got big plans for Banks in this one. This is why we got this guy, for the Hamilton games. Not only is he super-motivated, but he knows how Steinhauer thinks on defence. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been working on a punt return play for him too.

And Mac loves throwing to him. I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but it seems to me that a disproportionate number of Mac’s best throws have been to Banks, although I’ll admit it’s a small sample size. ;-) The big question is can the Speedy One hold onto the friggin ball.

As so often happens with MBT he starts off early with a poor throw that was almost intercepted by Evans.

[Scooter McCray]

What is the major malfunction happening to the defense. The Tiger Cats are moving the ball at will.

[kellynjk]

Well the Argo offence doesn't look much better!!

[jerrym]

To say the Argo had a sluggish start would be kind. Hopefully, the march downfield for a FG will be the beginning of an ongoing improvement.

[Scooter McCray]

Our QBs lack of mobility is not helpful when the offensive line is different every week.

[Scooter McCray]

88 yards total offense for Argos in first half. Fortunate to only be down by 8. Time to start the second half like their playing at home.

[jerrym]

Nice escape by MBT enabling him to throw the TD pass.

[jerrym]

Nice knockdown by Hendrix to force a kick from the end zone.

[jerrym]

More problems with the snap costing a FG likely. Can we please find someone who can snap?

[jerrym]

Hoyte and Marion combine on blocked FG for TD to take lead!

[Scooter McCray]

Let's go Brandon. Nice Catch

Enough with your challenges
