June 26, 2014: Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers

From the Winnipeg Sun. I think both Paul and Ravi are big fans of a no huddle/hurry up offence. Never knew this rule existed.

"One thing to watch tonight is if the Argos or the Bombers, for that matter, take advantage of the new CFL rule that doesn’t allow the defence to substitute players if the offence doesn’t. That could result in quite a few dead tired defensive players. It’ll be interesting to see if Ricky Ray and the Argos go to the hurry-up offence. Considering it’s just his fifth career start, it’s less likely that Marcel Bellefeuille will have Drew Willy do the same."

I think that every CFL offence should be using a hurry-up offence as part of their repertoire this year but I do feel that the Argos are especially well-positioned to do so given the continuity that they have on offence in regards to players and system. With the move, over the last few years, to more specialists on defence and increased substitutions, it only makes sense. The Argos will be facing a Gary Etcheverry-coached defence tonight and he would often substitute as many as five guys on defence during his most recent tenure in Saskatchewan. The Argos could cause him fits tonight.

I wonder what trick(s) O'Shea will have ready to play on the ARGOOOOOOOS! Whatever they are, it won't be enough to save the Bombed unless the Argos take them for granted (which is something the Argos have never done in 60 years, I am sure you all remember).


I'm sorry to see that Sinkfield is on the IR list as he seemed to add some spark to the team.
