Could Argo fans see the debut of Calvin "After Burner" Turner as the primary Return Man in Grant's absence?

To me the most interesting story is the o-line, which is Moore/Doxtater/Ciraco/Vandal/Hunter, with Nicastro and Giffen backing up. Only one of those guys (Vandal) was in the same position at the end last year. And I have to wonder how long Argos will want to keep Nicastro as a backup, given that he is (according to 3DN) one of the nine highest-paid o-linemen in the league, at over $200k.

I guess rookie Doxtater musta been just outstanding in TC - playing a new position and unfamiliar Canadian game - to beat out a former all-star in Nicastro ?

That's what happens with real training camp competition.
