I firmly believe that Moen-O'Shea-Eiben could be argued as the all-time Argos LB trio.

It shouldn't be forgotten that Pless was a Leo Cahill recruit.

Finding small school guys like Fenerty or DK Smith is more impressive than tabbing NFL draft picks like Pleasant or an all-American star college ball linebacker like Pless was, IMO.

This is from 04 and onwards. Maybe not the best possible lineup on paper but players I enjoyed watching. I'm just listing all secondary as DBs and making a secondary based on personnel.
Steinhauer
Younger
Parker
Peters
Ivory
Eiben
O'Shea
Ball
Brown
Belli
Oakman
Foley
Really struggled with a DE to compliment Brown. Orimolade's one season isn't enough. Can't have Lemon on there although I enjoyed his short stint. Patrick Watkins could easily switch for Ivory or Peters. Huntley for Belli as well. McManis could beat out Ball but I wouldn't put him over Osh.

Still wish Leo's name was up with the names on the Banners in the south Rafters at BMO... for some of the people he brought in mentioned above ...and because he was an ARGO icon.... like Pinball and for me as well John Candy.
I would add that Leo still had an eye for talent even as Ottawa's GM in 1996. I have always felt that the Rough Riders would have become contenders under Leo if they hadn't folded at the end of that season. He turned them into a competitive team over the last half of that season and many of those players were claimed by other teams and were contributors. One of the players he recruited that season was Orlando Steinauer.

I guess they were losing closer games, but that was going to be dysfunctional with Horn Chen (not) at the helm.
