Game Thread: Calgary Stampeders @ Toronto Argonauts

Gittens had a real connection with MBT. The Argos are really spreading it out this year which overall makes them harder to defend. I’m sure he will have a couple of big games down the stretch, but I don’t really care as long as the production continues to be spread out.

This! Love the idea of spreading the ball around to all weapons on offence; same with Harris able to come in to supplement Ouellette (like to see Adeboboye get a bit of work there too); Gittens could have some big games down the stretch, but as long as the offence keeps rolling. Pull Together !!!

Agree 100% OV, much harder to defend an offence that spreads the ball around which Kelly has excelled at so far this season.

Gittens doesn’t get in behind the DB’s like Daniels and Coxie do. Kelly loves that perfectly timed long ball and MBT was not very accurate with those throws hence he loved the Gittens slants and outs.

Disagree. Kelly has been great on seam and out routes. Gittens is great on those. Prior to last game Daniels had 1 catch on a deep ball, late in Hamilton and that was on a double move. To say he regularly gets behind DB’s just isn’t true. He’s a seams and dig route guy mostly.

The fact is, Kelly is throwing to where the D dictates him to throw. It’s all about his reads and his confidence in those reads and not his receivers.

Brissett might be the fastest receiver in this Argo corps - they might try deep shots to him a bit more; but Coxie was doing great getting deep and has the big catch radius.

You can’t take away a game to disprove my point when they’ve only played 8. Last night was another great example of Coxie and Daniels making catches behind coverage. Doesn’t matter is it’s a double move, busted zone, or the scheme, fact is these guys are getting open deep far more than Gittens. Kelly has a great ability to see and then actually hit the deep open man. If Gittens is only going to run the seam and outs as you say (money plays with MBT), then his numbers will drop with this QB.
