November 5, 2016: Toronto Argonauts @ Edmonton Eskimos

[Neely2005]

Franklin looking pretty good out there.

Stubler's defence struggling yet again.

Is it Stubler or the personnel though?

[Neely2005]

So is the pick that we traded away going to end up being first overall?

[Argo57]

Franklin's a free agent, undoubtedly will be a hot commodity.

I'll pass he's no Drew Willy😂

[R.J]

Speak for yourself buddy, I'm 51 and still run the 40 in 30 seconds!!

I'm 29, and I've noticed that I feel bumps and bruises alot more than I used to.

TBH would like Ray back in any roll, backup QB or QB coach, I think his experience and demeaner would continue to serve the organization well.

I think with his steady temperament, intelligence and game knowledge he would make an excellent coach, but it's time to start looking elsewhere at QB.

I don't know what's more irritating, our defence or TSN's inability to broadcast a game without technical problems. Give us a live mic game and then have the announcers' mics cut out and repeat constantly. It's hard enough to listen to Rod Black when his mic is working. This is beyond tolerable.

You haven't felt anything yet!

Would he want or would we want him to coach the Argonauts?

[Argo57]

Is it Stubler or the personnel though?

Probably both, but the talent in the secondary has been substandard since 2013, that's on Barker.

[jerrym]

The game is on continuous replay. Oh! It's just another Eskimo TD!

[Bleeds Double Blue]

Speak for yourself buddy, I'm 51 and still run the 40 in 30 seconds!!

Pfft Argo57, I'm 63 and can run the 40 in 30 seconds. We're talking feet, right?

[R.J]

Probably both, but the talent in the secondary has been substandard since 2013, that's on Barker.

Agreed, it's both IMO. Barker hasn't provided the talent, but it's pretty clear that Stubler hasn't adjusted his defenxe to fit the young players. Jordan Younger is also a big problem IMO.

[paulwoods13]

Would he want or would we want him to coach the Argonauts?

Certainly not head coach. No one other than Pinball can move immediately from player to HC. (And Pinball's success was due in large part to letting his assistants do most of the actual coaching.) Ricky could be a QB coach and work towards becoming a coordinator and eventually a head coach. But I'd still like him back as a backup QB.

[Argo57]

Would he want or would we want him to coach the Argonauts?

Sure, starting as a QB coach for a year or two then work from there.

[Neely2005]

Anyone wanna tell Jason Mass that the jerk store called?

I always believed Brady called the plays. What Mass did was a dick move.

Agreed, I hope that the league fines him again.

My thoughts exactly Paul👍

[Neely2005]

Lol, that's probably a good thing.

[Argo57]

Pfft Argo57, I'm 63 and can run the 40 in 30 seconds. We're talking feet, right?

Lol, inches?

And James Franklin should be our next starting QB.

I know I have always been high on James Franklin ever since I saw him play last year. It seems like Edmonton has been hiding him all year not giving him some playing time to develop. Even when Edmonton was in Toronto and had the game wrapped up by the third quarter they kept him nailed to the bench. I'd give him the big money in February and than figure out who you could keep as his back up. Hopefully Ray and cut Willy. But politics might get in the way after the big trade. GM and Coaches don't like to be shown up.
Jones in Saskatchewan will be in there bidding as well and might think he has the inside track. The NFL doesn't miss much either and could see Franklin as a future star down there as well.

[ArgoZ]

We got ourselves a game! Ok, not really, but the lead is cut in half. ARRGOOS!
