Herslow, Rayam and Hickey are in. Polk, John and Neal are out. Amos is listed as a designated national, behind Hickey, but will presumably play every defensive snap except the first. If a DB gets hurt, Hickey will be able to replace.
Herslow should be raring to go and ready to contribute with his first game. I know Kelly does not want to be a check down QB, but that might be what EE defence give him. Hopefully he can be patient and take the underneath stuff. Its a road game versus a hungry team. Take what they give you and come home with a win.

Nice of the schedule maker to make the Argos go out West yet again after their first home game of the season...can't give them 2 home games in a row...NOOOO! The way the D Line is playing the last 2 weeks, Fajardo is going to have trouble completing passes down field with the pocket collapsing. Argos win this game to cement 2nd place in the Eastern Football Conference. Jubilant Argos fans in Stratford ON will be celebrating while the theatre crowd will be asking..."Alas, To Be, Or Not To Be....That Is The Question"!!
Looking forward to the raucous celebration in Stratford tomorrow!

Henceforth, we shall clang our glasses of Port in the parlor while regailing the afternoons events that unfolded in the Alberta Capitol. But on a serious note, road construction is about to commence on gil's low income neighbour, so parking is somewhat limited.

11-9 Elks at the half. The Argos doing their usual first half slumber on offence.....the broadcast showed an Argo yawning on the sideline. Two missed field goals, dumb penalties, dropped passes, no running game, offensive line having trouble picking up stunts.
Except for one long run by the Elks QB, the defence has played pretty well.

Grinding road game against a good defence. Hopefully those missed FGs don't come back to haunt them.

Horrible attempt on that 3rd down play. Looks like this one is over.

3rd and inches and you run a play wide when the Elks defence has been controlling the line of scrimmage all game long? What a stupid stupid coaching call.

Without question, their worst game of the year. They play like this next week against Hamilton they will lose.
