Very tough sched. for the Argos to open the season - in Sask. to face the Riders, then next 3 games = Esks twice + Calgary = have to play 4 games against arguably the top 3 CFL teams (outside of the #1 Argos) out of the gate. Big challenge.

Offence should be very good IMO. Defence will be the question maybe (plus kicking game maybe?) - who can replace Butler at DE to be a force in pass rush? And the talent is there in the LB corps and the D-backfield, but can the new DC put it together? Love to see a ball-hawking secondary, and a real hard-hitting LB corps (Ball, Woods & Plummer - with the latter 2 interchangeable at MLB and Will OLB?)

Love to see a beat-down $hit-kicking of the Riders in their barn to open the season; Collaros sacked & picked a bunch of times; and Jones's supposedly incredible talent defence exposed as not that good, by a diverse, smart offence - Ray throwing accurate strikes, Wilder gets LOTS of carries and Declan Cross the x factor again (get it Cross = x) who produces yardage and punishes some wimpy Rider DBs. Coudln\t picture a better season opener. ;o)
