I was skeptical that this would work but it seems accurate... this is what came up for me when I typed in @TorontoArgos.

last kick at the can... Andrew Harris

Good call.

That "quack" that BLM went to see is pretty well versed dealing with athletes (specifically football players) since he's the team physician for the Rams. He's a semi-personal physician for Tom Brady and performed multiple surgeries on Kobe Bryant so BLM picked a good one.

Going back to Andrew Harris and hope I don't become the Argos of the Lock of the Week thread.

I believe a couple people couldn't play nice in the politics thread so they got put in time out.

If Conteh is playing anything but teams, it's definitely not a good thing for Calgary.

So did Campbell. Their O-line in general looked terrible. On quite a few plays, they barely (if at all) got a hand on someone rushing the QB.

I won't argue this guy's credentials but it does seem like every supplemental draft prospect gets talked up as a potential 1st overall pick had they been in the regular draft. The way the system is set-up, it makes sense that teams try to pump the tires on these guys so that other teams over-pay for them like we did with Poblah & Waggoner.

The flipside to that is that there are other changes that could be made but the government will not touch because of the political cost. Changes to the Home Care program for example, could save taxpayers a ton but it's non-starter for the PC's. The last figures I saw, had Manitoba providing 5x the national average in hours of home care per week. We also provide services that no other province allows (like housekeeping and laundry) when we definitely cannot afford to.

As I said in my last post, it's not so much what they are doing but how they are doing it. One of the biggest problems has been that they haven't adequately increased the resources (staff, beds, etc) at the existing ER's to match the increased patient levels. The remaining ER's are already overwhelmed and now they are getting ready to close another one before fixing the problems that currently exist.

For the royal treatment you get if you wear enough gold?

Crisis averted.

Maybe in their experience but I would put money on them being in the minority. I've been working in this system for over 15 years and this is by far the most chaotic I have ever seen it. It's not so much what they are trying to do but how they are going about doing it. Their plans (or lack their of) seem to go out the window all the time. This seems to be the thought process: "Things aren't going as well as we thought they would? Ok, f**k it, let's double down by not only sticking with the plans that aren't working but speeding up the timeline for those changes, That should fix things... or least get the changes in place by election time so the fallout won't be truly felt until after the votes are in".

Streveler

He already showed last week that he's more mobile than last season. It's never going to be something teams really have to plan around though.

But what about MOS wearing shorts? For me it's no different than DC's hat. If it starts affecting wins and losses, then I'll care, but until then, to each their own.

Their entire o line looks like trash tonight.

After reading this thread, I'm off to the Oak!

If you're referring to Davis, he was found by Calgary.

I'm not sure why this is being asked in a Ottawa/Sask thread but yes, the ex-Bomber is playing SAM for Edmonton. He signed with them last season and then briefly retired. Played with them in the pre-season game here but only made their PR coming out of camp.

Hopefully he's smart enough not to go after Charlie Roberts as RB coach.... as much as Charlie would enjoy it, that city is not a good fit for him!

1 - Hecht. 2 picks and removing Carter as a factor in the game. 2 - Harris and the O-line. For a new group, that some here said would be a step down from previous years, they opened some big holes and Harris took full advantage. Nastiness doesn't seem to be lacking either. 3 Exume. Looked very good on ST when it looked like that could be an area of concern. HH - Woli with the 2 Td's
