Montreal used 3 American O-line last game because star Canadian OG P-O Lestage was out with injury; he may be able to return for the GC game (?) The Riders are also missing former all-star starting OC Canadian Sean McEwen - out for the season with injury, plus vet OG Gagnon also out with injury.primetime321 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 10:59 pmI think that this is largely true although some blame has to be attached to the personnel that was brought in. Having Hunter play three different positions is ludicrous. IMO, for next season the biggest key is to bring in two solid tackles while having Hunter, Nicastro and Doxtater play inside. I think that using Americans on the o-line is a must if none of the Canadians are capable of starting. Look at the two Grey Cup finalists where Montreal uses three Americans and Sask uses four.ARGO57 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 8:19 pmThe O-Line performance or lack thereof falls on the players.paulwoods13 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 5:24 pm He's the same Kris Sweet that produced an o-line that was the league's best from late in the 2022 season to the end of 2024. I have tons of issues with the o-line play this year, but IMO there was a lot more to that than Sweet forgetting how to coach.
The Argos won the GC last year with 4 starting Canadian O-line, and had 4 starting the GC win before that.
