July 5, 201510 yr comment_131658 Just a reminder, the Argos/Riders game is on TSN3/4/5 but not TSN1/2.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131661 Calgary @ Montreal I suppose there are really 2 stories here. The impressive starting performance by 23 year old Rakeem Cato and the very average performance by BL Mitchell and the Stampeders. Cato 20-25 for 241 yards in his debut. A very simple and effective game plan drawn up for Cato. Run the ball with Sutton and short, easy passes for Cato. These were executed very well by everyone involved. And he had help. SJ green 7 catches, Nic Lewis - only 3 catches but they were vintage Lewis. And Sam Giguere - 4 catches, 39 yards. There was nothing flashy in Montreal's offence but they used, and protected Cato, and he played the position flawlessly. If you stop Cornish, you have a good chance to stop Calgary. Montreal's defence did just that. Combine that with Mitchell's 19-31 passing, and you get the opportunity to knock off the Champs. And Montreal did that big time. Good on them. And I agree with JBR on a similar game plan for Marve, if the Bombers should so choose. The question is..could Marve execute in the same manner? Everything you described is about taking a decent quarterback (Cato) and quickly devising a game plan to make the most of his abilities and take away Calgary's strengths. We are going to find out whether our brain trust can do the same, and that will be against Montreal. Brohm's experience ought to offset Cato's apparent superior skills, so if we lose, its all on the coaches. And rightfully so..
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131695 Glenn is starting to rip it up, playing much better then he did last year..
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131697 Glenn is starting to rip it up, playing much better then he did last year.. Has he been hit yet?
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131701 Glenn is starting to rip it up, playing much better then he did last year.. Has he been hit yet? I believe he has taken at least one solid hit and fluttered the ball next play.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131726 Messam also having a huge game but the Argos might be able to pull off a win they don't deserve.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131727 Wonder how long Messam can take this workload. He runs so upright that he takes a lot of shots in the knee/lower leg without his knees being bent to give him shock absorption against those hits.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131730 Toronto just got screwed out of a PI that would have tied the game for them. "Incidental PI" called instead. Happy to see them score here to potentially tie it up.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131731 I couldn't see any contact on that interference penalty. This is an exciting game
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131732 Brackenridge really blew it there. Covering grass. That's the problem with playing so much zone, guys get passive and forget to actually play the ball.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131734 I couldn't see any contact on that interference penalty. This is an exciting game Contact was about half a second early. At least the DB was going for the ball. Could have gone either way, the 10 yard call was fair.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131738 I think if they're going to call that one incidental PI then we should see a lot more incidental PI calls. Problem is, as always, consistency.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131741 I think if they're going to call that one incidental PI then we should see a lot more incidental PI calls. Problem is, as always, consistency. Ya, to be honest if a guy is at least making a play for the ball I'd always be fine with the PI being a 10 yard penalty and first down. It's the ones like the PI's O'Shea had to challenge vs Hamilton where the guy doesn't even know where the ball is and is just trailing the receiver and then stopping him from working to the ball that should be spot fouls. Could go to "intentional" (not playing the ball) and "unintentional" (at least making an attempt on the ball) PI.

That's the thing, I've just seen too many plays similar to what we just witnessed being called PI and given the spot on the goal line. If you want to call unintentional PI more frequently I'm all for it but in this one instance, it strikes me as a ref wanting to avoid putting the ball on the one yard line.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131744 what happened to Sask secondary in the last five minutes of this game, and overtime?
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131745 Not a catch. The ball is clearly laying underneath his midsection on the turf.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131749 Chris Cuthbert just was shocked the Argos are going for 2. They have to.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131751 Cuthbert losing it. Macho Harris should be tossed. Just headbutted Whitaker after he took a late shot on Harris way after the whistle. Player safety?
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131752 The fact Chris Cuthbert doesn't know the rules of overtime is pretty comical right now.
July 5, 201510 yr comment_131753 Wow. Harris looks very good. The coaches in Toronto must be wondering if Rcky Ray has a place in the Argo lineup.
