Ulm is allowed to practice but can’t be inserted in the line up until next week, or he would have to be pulled from the 6 game.

Ready is listed as a starter but no way he plays more than Coxie who is listed as back-up slot behind Polk.

CFL game rosters allow the GOBs to play games in their usual 7 only need apply schtick roster management. This starting depth chart has 3 NAT interior O-linemen, plus we know Mital & Ungerer will play receiver; Kongbo the only Canadian starter on D with Shand as back-up. Not sure how they get to 7 with that, but I don't really get the 49% snap count, who "starts" the game, designated Nationals or Americans, and all the other garbage that goes on there.

Will Herslow ever get back on the field?

Not unless one of the others gets injured. I’ve sssid it before, in the CFL you can’t afford to get hurt unless you are an absolute star.

If anybody is wondering about this so-called Argo home game - it is a total Ticat home game atmosphere here. No A-Team, no Jason. All the usual Ticat stuff, including their dance team, pigskin Pete, announcer, scoreboard routines, and their band.

I guess I was naïve to expect anything different.

To their credit, the Argos did host a pregame party for the brave crew of Argos fans that came down here, with free beer. That part was appreciated.

So it was 14-7 Hamilton at the half, with a facemask penalty giving Hamilton the ball at the 1 yard line. Kemp takes an unnecessary roughing penalty so the Argos were kicking off against the wind from their own 15. Hamilton goes 3 and out. Kelly trots onto the field with the announcers commenting on how confident he looked. I turned to my wife and told her Kelly was about to throw an interception. The first play a nice running play aided by the Hamilton defense not lined up very well. The second play Kelly throws an interception.

So the Argo like last week fritter away the first 3 quarters doing virtually nothing, and the Argo defence fortunate to only have given up 3 TDs. But Hamilton only dressed 6 offensive lineman, and two of them got injured so the Hamilton offensive line is bad. So the Argo defense starts looking like an actual defence.

The offence wakes up and scores a TD early in the 4th quarter, and predictably they miss the extra point so its 24-23 Hamilton. It should be interesting for the rest of the 4th quarter. Hopefully Kelly will smarten up and throw the dam ball away when no one is open.

So the Argos blow another game, 24-23 on a missed field goal on the last play.

Two mediocre teams playing to see who can make the most mistakes, the worst play calling, etc. The Argos win.

Sorry L-H - time for you to get benched; totally unacceptable shit kicking; give Lidster a chance now, and if he fails, give L-H another chance i guess. Happens to some good vet kickers ( i can recall a number of examples).

He has missed too many kicks and they have all been wide left. If not for all of the missed kicks so far this season, they could be 5-1 instead of 2-4. He has missed game-changing kicks in Montreal and Winnipeg - both after huge special teams plays - and in Hamilton.

The Argos' offence should have tried getting the ball as deep as possible on that last possession. They had the Ticats' defence exhausted and on the ropes and should have gone for the kill. I had zero confidence that Hajrullahu was going to make that kick.
