Argofans

If Judge can't go, they will likely need to start either John or Gautier in the secondary. My guess is John will start at safety, but if it was my choice, I would move Amos to safety, McFadden to field half and Gautier to field corner. To be honest, I have not been impressed with Amos at half to this point, and I thought McFadden was good at field half last year.

I don't know how Amos is deployed in the Argo defence so far.

In the 4 games, Caesar and Franklin are listed as making 18 or 19 tackles. Amos is listed as making 7. The only time I can recall hearing his name mentioned is the last TD in the Montreal game on a third and 1 for Montreal when he was basically a turnstile and gave up an easy TD (even worse than the TD Franklin gave up on a missed tackle) in Calgary)..

Boundary side DB’s usually make a lot more tackles than field side DB’s. I just think Amos may have lost a step. Maybe safety would be a better option because he can read and react still. Just not sure his cover skills are what they were.

CFL.CA transactions show both newly acquired LB Jalen Rayam & DB Bubba Bolden are on the Active Roster. It also shows DB Anthony Wilson added to the PR or "Practise Roster".

Good news overall on the injury front with Cam Judge being the only one not able to go full this week. Even Nolan Ulm is going full. And the best news of all is that Dakoda Shepley was back practising on Wednesday in limited fashion. He is listed as questionable for this week's game.

Only one back-up receiver dressed and it's main returner J. Grant; i say again - this is playing with fire roster management.

Dru Brown starting at QB for the Bombers; may not be that familiar with their offence and his receivers, so might be a heavy dose of Oliveira and the run game? Challenge for the front 7 and also the safety to stop the run up the middle; but playing that hard opens up the pass game.

Bombers D is pretty average IMO, and Kelly should be able to pass for good yardage; just hope they mix in the run game, plus give Chad the green light to take off.

I can't believe DT Jalen Bell is keeping Hendrix from getting into the lineup.

Well at the half the Argos have a total of 7 points. Journeyman Brown has really outplayed the elite Kelly but of course he is going up against the Argo defence whereas Kelly has to play against an actual CFL defense.

Hopefully the Argos can pick it up in the second half. It would be nice to see some sustained drives.

Well special teams and the offence lost this game. The defence wasn't great, but played well enough that the game could have been won. But the offence which frittered away 3 quarters basically doing nothing and special teams kept giving Winnipeg good field position.

Its hard to believe the stupid penalty Coxie took. I think he felt the Winnipeg player intentionally twisted his ankle trying to hurt him, but if you are going to take a stupid penalty you should at least make it worthwhile.

There are so many stupid things that could be commented on in this game, but what's the point.

Terrible game. Management knew they had to improve the D but it looks almost as bad as last year. The OL doesn't seem to have improved at all, especially at OT. Kemp had another weak game. Why are they still playing 2 FBs rather than one FB and a backup WR? Noticed O'Neil was playing during the latter part of the game---did Shepley get reinjured?

Too many questions and not enough answers. Could be a long season.
