Needing a fix for CFL ball - i pulled out an old VHS tape of the 83 GC - outstanding game and finally the Argos get the Grail after a long, dry period !
What a boat-load (get it ?) of talent on that Argo defence - all starters, but 2, on that D were CFL (all-CFL or Conference) all-stars at one time in their careers:
D-line: Rick Mohr & James Curry (all-CFL for the Argos in 84 with 22 sacks !), at DE, and Franklin King at DT
LBs - William Mitchell (East all-star all 3 of his Argo seasons), Darrell Nicholson (East all-star as a rookie that 83 season) & Don Moen
DBs - Ken MacEachern, Carl Brazley, Leroy Paul, Darrel Wilson
And the 2 who were not CFL all-stars at one time were DB Marcellus Greene who came to the CFL as an NFL draft pick, and DT Earl Wilson, who went on to play in the NFL after his excellent Argo play.
Held the powerful BC offence (Roy Dewalt & Merv Fernandez) to under 20 points to help get the GC win.
Up there with best Argo Ds of all-time (71, 87/88 & 96/97 groups in the mix) ?
