Looking forward to streaming this game and seeing how Kelly looks. I'd love to be there live, but a Thursday evening in Guelph when I work until 5 or 5:30 doesn't work for me. With my luck, they will start the game an hour early.

Sounds like they’re leaning towards not playing Kelly at all. May dress if needed.

Coach Dinwiddie with injury updates. On Chad Kelly, who practiced today: "He's fine. He could play through it, he just felt tightness and I didn't want to have it become a long-term thing potentially." On Gittens: "Kurleigh is going to be okay, he's just got a bruised shoulder,

so he'll be good to go. I probably won't play him this week, even though he's good. He'd be available if we need him, but we'll probably sit him for this game." Gittens did not practice today. #Argos #PullTogether #Argos150

-- I believe the coach was talking about Gittens, not Kelly.

Kelly needs to get some game reps before the start of the season. The Argonauts were fortunate on Saturday that Gittens injury wasn't more severe. The Redblacks, for example, have lost Money Hunter and Shaq Evans for significant periods of time.

If the game were at BMO then it'd be no problem. Guelph on a Thursday might be an issue.

If it was a BMO, UofT or York, I would be there 100%

Any news on the Robert Priester injury?

Any news on the Robert Priester injury?

None that I've heard.

For what it's worth, he didn't have any visible limp or anything when walking off the field in Hamilton the other day.

[kellynjk]

Will the CFL be streaming this game as well?

[Rich]

I’ll be watching the receivers closely, it’s a group that could be improved IMO. In particular I think we can do better than both Coxie and Phillips. Complicating things is the idea we start 2 Canadian WR which seems like a good idea to me. More Brissett will be nice this year. Add a couple new WR threats and well now you’re talking.

Is the game on TSN 1050 radio? The Saturday game was not. I had to listen to the Ticats.ca pregame to listen to them interview Mike Hogan about how the Argos look etc...
I will be driving and would like to be able to listen to the game in the car.

Never mind. I just saw the radio schedule for tomorrow night;
7 pm ESPN radio
7:30 pm NBA finals

Mike Hogan...question? How many of the 18 Argo games will be available on TSN 1050 radio in this the 150th year?
Home of the Argos....My fat ass

I was hoping that TSN might be streaming it, but it doesn't look like it.

It's via CFL.ca but the play by play is supposed to come from the home team and the video again from the home team. But given 1050 have no radio coverage of the team they own wondering how they will pull this off. Mind you Ottawa is covering their team and sending AJ Jakubec and Jeff Avery to do their play by play for their TSN 1200 in Ottawa. Maybe it will be their feed that CFL.ca carry? Nothing like having the richest owners in the league. They act like they're the poorest. Ottawa and Hamilton do a tremendous job covering their respective teams with pregame, post-game, play by play and weekly coverage. You would think it was their teams that were owned by major media companies not ours.

Mike Mitchell (who is based out of NY) has a good write up on tonights game from an Argo perspective. CFL News hub has a lot of good content.

Ottawa's depth chart for today is interesting, maybe a little surprising. No Masoli or Arbuckle to dress for this game. I have to think our backups are better than theirs so I think we got a good chance at winning (not that it matters but it still feels good to win). Especially if we're going to have our starters see a couple reps while they rest theirs. Early lead and coast to victory?

This skinny ex Arena League QB Tyree Adams is starting for Ottawa. In his limited CFL time all he has done is perform well.

The Argos DEPTH CHART may be found here.

Both the projected starters on the boundary corner are out (Priester & Daniel), and even Tarvarus McFadden is a game time decision.

Shane Richards gets a start at LT with Isiah Cage and Trevon Tate seemingly injured.

Is Dariusz Bladek going to be ready to start the season? I don't think he's practiced much the whole training camp.

Mike Hogan and Ben Grant will have coverage of the game. I do not believe it will be on TSN 1050 but streamed through the Argonauts website.
