There would appear to be a possibility tonight's game will need to be delayed or postponed due to poor air quality in Winnipeg. Env Can is forecasting "very high" risk all day and evening (10+). CFL won't start the game if it's 8 or above.

Winnipeg were not able to practice on day one this week because of it. With a double header on Saturday, they may need to move it to Sunday.

It would be quite a hardship to make the Argos stay two extra nights, but I agree it's a possibility. And it presumes AQ will get better over the weekend.

Judge is good, but he can’t cover a SB on a regular basis. They already play a lot of snaps with all 3 LB’s + the cover LB in there. They just take out a DT
Judge at S-OLB would not have to have prime responsibility to cover a super fast or prime target slotback in man to man; he is easily quick and smart enough to play zone and / or man against a not super-fast slotback (quite a few of those in the CFL). A rookie S-OLB with slightly better, perhaps, pure cover skills but little clue about CFL offences in general is not going to do much against a Strevler offence in particular; a 4-3 with 3 true (and smart & Canadian ball experienced) LBs who can also blitz lots would be way more effective IMO; but then again, I'm not a pro football coach, but just a couch potato fan = we should all just defer to whatever the coaches do as inscrutable wisdom. :roll:
I don’t think you understand what that position is. Was Blackburn not man to man on Demski resulting in a 40 yard completion last week? The more you talk the more I realize it’s useless to try and debate with you because your knowledge of the game is 50 years behind.

I must admit, I am not the authority on, nor apologist for, "modern" same old, tired old, standard CFL procedures like you are.

A weaker coverage DB (like most CFL S-OLBs are) asked to man cover a team's most dangerous, big-play slotback without blitz support from one or both of the inside LBs or free safety support over the top, is likely asking for trouble, if it is done often.

Environment Canada have AQI at 10+ all day Saturday and evening Saturday as well. It would be good for the league and TSN to get ahead of it this time with plans and contingencies.

Mrs gil won't be pleased if gil is on the couch Sunday night of the long weekend watching the Argos. I know of certain posters on the forum that are allowed to get away with such hijinx on a daily basis. Let's hope the game can go on as scheduled in a safe manner.

Air Quality Index is now scheduled to be 7 evening and overnight. They may get this game in tonight.

Start referring to football as "church." No one will stand in your way from watching or attending a game.
