Whether Ford starts or not, Argos need to prepare for him to play significant time. However, it's not the Argo defence that has me worried. Offence and Special Teams are letting the team down last few games. Hopefully some home cooking do the team well this week.

Just find a way to overcome the pixie dust Tre Ford seems to get whenever he plays the Argos, along with that weird extra motivation the Ticats always seem to find against Toronto—something we can never quite seem to duplicate.

I would gather the Argos are going to trot out the same Oline that they did in Edmonton. That in itself doesn't instill confidence that the Offence will be effective against a confident Hamilton team.

Tre Ford taking first team reps at Hamilton practice today. Bob "Roll" Dyce ran practice as Scott Milanovich is away for personal reasons. He is expected back for the game.
As reported by Matthew "It's not soccer, its football" Scianitti.

Lots of guys were limited in practice today. The following DNP which for many of them is a sign they won't play this week:
Gauthier
Hunter
Kongbo
Polk
Shand

Edmonton is still beating the Argos down.

This injury list is certainly concerning. A lot of injuries were sustained in Edmonton.

If Kongbo and Shand are both out, I don't see any way we can start a NAT on the d-line, which would have a spinoff effect elsewhere on the roster. The thinness of the team's NAT depth is really becoming apparent. We are one injury away, at a few positions, from having to do some very complicated juggling. All that said, I'm betting Kongbo starts this week, with the newcomer Maissoneuve pressed into service as a backup.

The Hunter injury woes is worrisome, but if he's able to play, I would move either him or Shepley to RT and start Kolankowski at guard. Kemp has been horrible this year and on top of that has twice take dumb misconduct penalties after the play.

Getting Kemp off the field would be the definition of addition by subtraction!
