Ol takes longer. The argos are gonna need to commit to the run game to develop an ol. Leaving them out to dry with 40 pass plays a game is not going to develop a line. White may not be the answer at back though. IDK. My take was that one half of our O-Line pass blocked ok but were deficient at run block and the others were the opposite. Messy but still Week 1. Not having Poole available sucks and Blake picked up a knock so it doesn't look so hot. But then the Bomber D-Line isn't without some guys on the trainer's table... So maybe between another week of playing together and coming up against you guys at the right time we may squeak it out again... I mean... we did win last time we met 🙃

I mean... we did win last time we met 🙃 Yes but the stamps pass rush is anemic. The argos ol was fresh going into week 1. You simply don't see good ols that can't run block well. 😄 hey if we wanna play back 2019 I'm good with that. Also the relatively young un meshed front of Toronto is going to be really hard up with Collaros mobility and our offensive versatility. That's hard to prepare for. It demands a great deal of discipline and team work go contain a qb and stay gap sound. JCon 1
Mark H. Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 The Argos of old would have recruited 2 - 3 solid OL from down south - that program appears to have gone a miss... JCon 1
rebusrankin Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 MBT isn't as mobile as Massoli and Hamilton has a better line, if we can get the same kind of pressure as last week, Jeffcoat, Jefferson and Kongbo could feast. Just one man's opinion. GCJenks and Tracker 1 1

Wideleft Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 From 3DownNation: Friday, August 13 Toronto Argonauts (1-0) at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1-0), 8:30 p.m. ET Betting Line: Bombers -8 IG Field will play host to this week’s only matchup featuring undefeated teams as the new-look Argos take on the reigning Grey Cup champions. McLeod Bethel-Thompson was excellent against Calgary in Week 1, throwing for over 300 yards and two touchdowns, while Brady Oliveira shone in place of an injured Andrew Harris for Winnipeg. DUNK: It’s one thing to beat a young Calgary team, quite another to win against a veteran blue and gold squad. BOMBERS HODGE: Calgary couldn’t apply consistent pressure to McLeod Bethel-Thompson, but Winnipeg will. BOMBERS ABBOTT: Toronto wasn’t perfect in Week 1, but I’m sold on this star-studded roster. This won’t be the type of low-scoring game Winnipeg can grind away on the ground. ARGOS BALLANTINE: I believe in the Stampeders of old, or the Argos of current. ARGOS FILOSO: Jefferson, Richardson and Jeffcoat all missed practice time. Even if they play, they won’t be 100 percent. Advantage: Toronto. ARGOS GASSON: This could be sneaky good. BOMBERS HUDSON: Toronto was effective on a scripted first drive and a veteran-driven late field goal last week. This won’t be enough against a Winnipeg team more experienced than Calgary was. BOMBERS LUDWIG: Winnipeg has a lot of key players who are banged up but they’re still the safe pick. Toronto is volatile and trendy, and I need to see Collaros repeat his performance. ARGOS MCGUIRE: McBeth caught some breaks in Week 1. Won’t happen in Week 2. BOMBERS SMITH: I don’t believe in the Argos yet. BOMBERS ARGOS — 4 BOMBERS — 6

Booch Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 Don't get me wrong..I love the Stove and he is for sure a loss...but...Sayles really impressed, adds a bit of a different element, and I think we won't miss a beat, and I expect the D-line to control the night and I see at least 4-5 sacks of MBT and a boat load of hurries....The Jeff's are fine and you won't notice any drop in play from them. Biggest loss is Rocquemore..but on flip side I think Jones will excell there..time to see what the new kids got tho for sure in secondary.. Mark F, JCon, Starman115 and 2 others 5
Booch Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 We probably see more of a role for Antighua tonight as well...especially since we are starting the extra Canadian on defense, so he can come in freely Mark F, Bigblue204, rebusrankin and 3 others 5 1

Hansen broke camp as a lber with us in 2019. Maybe the only global that could start right now. They could've brought back a camp cut or easily snatched a fa or pr imp lber this week. Briggs can play. Rocquemore is an outlier in his ability to cover ground and is off the charts for field athleticism in general. And how far advanced his play is compared to his level of experience. Noeller 1

Tracker Posted August 13, 2021 Report Posted August 13, 2021 If the Argos haven't given the Bombers a "safe word", that is on them. Seriously, if the Lions could beat the Stumps, nothing is guaranteed in the CFL Bombers better not get complacent or else. wbbfan 1
