Should we give Declan Cross a bigger role in 2018?

I doubt that that Bob Hayes, for example, induced more interceptions. A genuine speed merchant will gain separation, expand the space in play and demand respect, whatever play is called. Sometimes, of course, the CB will require help, further benefiting the offence.

LOL. Can we try using a reference of less than 50 years ago? Teams loaded 7 guys in the box back then so all Hayes ever saw was 1 on 1 coverage.

Hayes immediately came to mind, given my age, and he is a good (if classic) example. In any case, the Argos would in all likelihood be a better and more dangerous team with a speed merchant WR. Particularly with the QB voted by his peers as most accurate in the league.

[edit: while not a sprinter, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing free agent WR Vidal Hazelton return to the Argos.]

I have no desire to ever see Hazelton return to the Argos. I'm fine with Ralph, Williams and Noel. If you absolutely must have a speedy guy at field side WR, sign Spencer Watt. At least none of those guys have rocked the boat.

We must agree to disagree. As for the accusation of "rocking the boat" (1) Evidence (other than Milanovich thrashing deck chairs on the Titanic) ? (2) Even if true, it's ancient history given exemplary behaviour in Edmonton, and show me the person that hasn't ever needed a second chance.

I agree that we must agree to disagree. Been there, done that. Argos were a true team this year. I don't even want to take a chance on bringing in (my words) a headcase like Hazelton.

Who could argue that point? But what I said was I didn't want to use an expensive receiver at the wide-side spot. I'd rather save cap space for positions that are going to be more integral to success. Even if Bob Hayes was resurrected and signed with the Argos, that spot likely would have the fewest targets per game. Speed wideouts like Williams (last year) and Banks (this year) are too expensive, IMO.
