Posted July 16, 201410 yr comment_66861 When I found out Burke was going there I wondered if they had noticed his recent body of work. Guess they didn't ...
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66863 I'm a little surprised.... Burke was no head coach but he certainly knows how to run a defense.... lots of player turn-over, new systems, new assistant coaches..... I think they'll get it together eventually
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66867 They lost several key members of the defence and haven't exactly replaced them well.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66868 Looks new faces in that secondary, that shouldn't really be a surprise, plus they've played two of the best teams in the league already in Calgary and Winnipeg, that will skew the stats.Â
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66873 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Burke usually live and die by getting pressure with just four rushing? And it seems to me that Toronto doesn't have the DLine to get this done.

And it seems to me that Toronto doesn't have the DLine to get this done. Â They have three sacks from their defensive line... six defensive linemen have that many themselves. Â Between his resistance to blitz, and the wide turnover on the D, it has been an obvious disaster thus far.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66919 Hope he gets the Argo D turned around.....have nothing against Burke - the DC.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66928 I'm enjoying watching Burke's D get torched. Lost most of the respect I had for Burke after the worst leadership effort I can ever remember in the 2013 debacle.  Lost the rest of it when he still wasn't accepting any responsibility in his Freep interview before our home opener.  It's possible to like a man personally for his candor, and dislike him professionally because he's a poor leader, and refuses to take responsibility for his role in a disaster of a season. That's how I feel about Burke.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66936 But in Burke's defence………….OK, I have nothing.  I surrender.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66942 Hope he gets the Argo D turned around.....have nothing against Burke - the DC.   Ideally they play well against all western teams that don't rhyme with shinnepeg. If we want to make a run up the western standings, getting some help from eastern teams would ease the strain.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66968 But in his defence………….OK, I have nothing.  I surrender.  Look, I'm pretty sure you are neither ahead or behind right now. It's all even. Just take a knee.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_66998 Braley lets his players out of their contracts to go to the NFL. I think the NFL must be giving him $$$ under the table for each player he tells Barker to release. This year it has really caught up to them.Â
July 16, 201410 yr comment_67060 But in Burke's defence………….OK, I have nothing.  I surrender.  Well Burkie has nothing in his defence either, so it's all even.  As someone else said, may as well just take a knee.  Or throw the players under the bus.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_67064 No, Burke is an idiot with a scheme that relies on players playing out of their mind to be successful.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_67083 They said on 1290 it's over the 29k mark with a little over a day left!
July 16, 201410 yr comment_67084 They said on 1290 it's over the 29k mark with a little over a day left! Wrong thread.
July 16, 201410 yr comment_67085 Â They said on 1290 it's over the 29k mark with a little over a day left! Wrong thread. Â Â You think it's out of the question to say that the Argos have allowed over 29,000 yards this week? I know it's a lot, but...
July 17, 201410 yr comment_67105 Toronto sucks, Ray is done Owens is done both too old and injured. The D sucks as well putting more pressure on them. Wonder what the league is going to do with this one? Can't hand over another QB on a silver plater to the parasites. Maybe now is the time to move them to Saskatoon. Or Brandon or Davidson or Virden, all better choices than the fan wasteland of TO.
July 17, 201410 yr comment_67114 Ray is done? Seriously? Based on what? He's leading the league in passing yards, leading the league in completion percentage, has a touchdown to interception ratio of 5:0 and a QBR of 117.
July 17, 201410 yr comment_67125 I will actually be surprised if Ray finishes the season upright, old man Owens will be damaged all season with his ankle. The high percentage dink and stink has them one win against the Rump Riders, looks good on paper I guess but Ray is going to go down fast imo maybe the Hair Club for Men is an option? Back up material in 2015.    Ottawa kicks them this week.
July 17, 201410 yr comment_67156 It's going to be extremely difficult for the Argos to move the ball given Owens consumed 34% of the targets and completions thus far this season. Especially with Durie and Jason Barnes out as well. Â Coombs is going to get what few Canadian rookies get to do in this league, and that is make a significant impact immediately. They're going to need him to be big. John Chiles has got to be the John Chiles we have seen before as well.
July 17, 201410 yr comment_67179 Coombs can ball....but the Argo O, is predicated on the short quick stuff....with YAC.  They might struggle in that area, for a while.....
