I remember that being the hallmark of those Argo teams. I remember those teams always having a really good front. They could get pressure off a 3 man front consistently. Cantor et. al.

Slimy Sculpin Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 A few opinions based on observations in no particular order: Thomas (too old and slow) and Schmekel (too inexperienced?) especially when they were out there together....too often, for the most part were a nightmare! The whole centre of the D from the line to the safety position was a nightmare! The play calling on the Bombers' last drive of the first half was a nightmare! I appreciated that they marched down the field but it appeared that they were playing for a FG, which they screwed up anyway. The injuries that are mounting up are a nightmare! And the call to punt on 3rd and about 6 with two minutes to go......Mike O'Shea is becoming a recurring nightmare! Done venting. In spite of the many short-comings of the Bombers, they were in an exciting game and had a chance. P.S. Exiting the U of M parking from the Wallace Building to UC along Sifton Road was a nightmare (Sifton Road under construction)!

Noeller Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Slept on it... A bit hungover.... Can't remember this many key injuries to start a season. Unbelievably cursed.

Ellingson and Duke Williams come to mind. I'm not sure there's a lot of value out there. Let's just use this season to find young talent so we have a shot next season when we host. TSN has already awarded BC the title anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 4 hours ago, JohnnyAbonny said: Do you think there’s enough individual pieces to improve? Or is this a 2005 thing where we have a couple bright spots, but give up 400 yards passing every game? Obviously there’s more nuance to it than one guy, but I don’t see it getting any better with BA playing safety. Also, if they’re running the old Rich Stubler defence to a degree, is it not just a matter of time before they start getting gashed by the run? I remember that being the hallmark of those Argo teams. I'd argue we are getting gashed. Just that no one really commits to the run in this era. It's 6-7 yards a play on us if they do.

Yet we just needed Zach and Demski to connect on one of the easier plays of the day. ---------------------------------------- The positives from the game for those who are ready.... After the first passing play of the game we gave up zero sacks. Zach had a normal amount of time back there to throw and he looked pretty good. Chris Smith is an upgrade over Mitchell. Had a nice return erased by a penalty but certainly has provided some hope for the return game going forward. 3. It's a long season.

Super Duper Negatron Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 (edited) If Demski catches that pass, we play it safe, go 2 and out, kick the field goal and lose anyways. Edited June 22 by Super Duper Negatron wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts regularly ran for 100+ against them, and I remember them giving up like 300 yards to the ticats in a game. https://www.cfl.ca/2006/06/17/there_ll_be_a_run_on_argo_defence/ …Holy ****.
