The Argos have just 3 games left with teams currently on a par with them.
The rest of the remaining games will not be easy given the play of the teams so far.
The media keeps saying that "reinforcements are coming" but who exactly are these reinforcements that will shore up the defensive line?
NFL cuts air-lift mode ? Old time Argo thinkin' ?
Zero contributions from this year's Argo draft class so far.
Meanwhile, the team with the best record in the league thus far have a bunch of this years draft class players making huge contributions: Alford as a big play receiver; Fortin starting on the O-Line; Vaughn as a productive short yardage QB and also plays some H-back; back-up RB Choquette has made some real nice runs and is also back on KO return duty; former U Sports D player of the year - LB Faranicco - has played STs and had some D playing time. Funny how that works when a team gives some young Canadian talent some playing time opportunity.

As if you ever saw this coming. You were calling Dickenson a bum a few months ago.

I don’t know what Ralph Holley’s chances are in Cleveland but both Paris Shand and Luiji Vilain are buried at the bottom of the depth chart in Buffalo and Dallas respectively. Makai Polk is also lower down the receiver rung in Atlanta. How good would it be if at least two of these players could be added.

Would be nice for the Argos, but I kind of feel bad hoping guys lose out on possible big pay days. In the end, I hope they all make their NFL teams, but if not, would gladly bring any or all of them in.

That was then and this is now. Get with the program Argolio.

As Angelo said you hope these guys have lucrative careers down south but if things don’t work out they would certainly help the Argonauts.

The Stampeders had completely depleted their NAT depth, so they had a gigantic need to replenish through the draft. To their credit, they appear to have done so. My bigger concern is that after five years of exceptionally good drafting, the Argos appear to have come out with very little from what appears to be a pretty strong 2025 draft class. We'll see if (and hope) Ojo develops into a useable d-lineman, and maybe Shand will get here eventually. But otherwise we have nothing to show from 2025, and it coincides with losing some NATs like Smith, Metchie and MacKellar.

Sure; maybe, point still is, the Stamps are giving some young Canadian talent playing time opportunity and it has helped, it seems, anyways. That this point is lost on the usual little clique of this site's cognoscenti as they cheer/ guffaw each other on, is hardly surprising. Ojo with ZERO playing time on the Argo D to see what he can do; same for Varga and Blackburn rarely used; zero Canadians even available to get a shot at tailback to help the Argos wimpy situation there (the Stumps give their rookie later round RB draft pick a shot and he has been excellent); the Stamps went out and drafted a big, short yardage QB specialist, plus use him as a TE / H-back, while the Argos still seem lost at times for short yardage converting.
Must all be on that genius all of a sudden, Davey cry-baby Dickenson though; and their success has nothing to do with getting a veteran, deep passing threat & mobile QB in VA, or the new coaches on staff who might have shined some light for cry-baby / last place, last season.

It's amazing the difference a star, starting QB can make, isn't it?
