I think the key is having depth at the position, and I think either Wilder or Hunter could end up being a real gamebreaker. They've got to find a way to dress two INT RB along with Coombs every game this year.
    I remember a couple of games where Trestman's Alouette's trounced the Argos primarily because of the ground game chewing up large yardage and then shifting to an air attack when the Argos made adjustments, something that Milanovich rarely, if ever, seemed to get the hang of.

    I remember those games, Jerry, that Als O-Line was blowing us away. Maybe The Professor really will surprise all the skeptics with a much bigger commitment to the running game this year. Maybe he'll trailblaze a new direction for CFL offences, just like he did his first time around.

    OK for what it's worth, I want to go on the record. Keeping in mind our last game is
    on the road, in BC, where strangely the Argos WON recently, and remembering the Argos
    win in BC about once every ten years, I say they go into the last game at 7-and-10, still with a
    chance to be in the playoffs, and they lose in BC, Argos finish 7-and-11 and the Alouettes finish at
    8-and-10 to get third place (agreed there will be no West cross-over in 2017). NOW YOU KNOW.

    And oh yeah, one more point to make about 2017, on behalf of all of us STH...
    PLEASE PLEASE may the Argos win More than twice at Home this year.
