When rebuilding a football franchise, and a Canadian one, you need certain key ingrediants.
Number 1, you need a QB you can build with, and Number 2 is you need solid Canadian talent, as it makes up a large majority of yor roster.
Number 3, you have to protect Asset # 1, and Number 4, if you can run the ball, you do 2 things.
# 1 is, you control the clock, and # 2 is you keep the defense off the field, and keep them fresh for 4 quarters. Because Number # 5 is you have to rely on your defense until you have Numbers 1 thru 4 are ready.
The Double Blue think they have some of these ingrediants, but it is only Game 6 coming up, that's including the 2 pre season games, so it is way to eearly to know.
This Friday they play the Lions, and a chance to win and become 3-1, and while that does not sound earth shattering, with Buck Pierce out 3-4 weeks , the Go Nuts have a chance to get a leg up, and stay ahead of the Ti Cats and stay near the Als for another week.
The running game looks improved, but the key difference is the willingness to stay with it, even in the 4rth quarter, when Count Dracula ( Bart Andrus ) long abandonded it. Jamal Roberston face was spotted on milk cartons most of last fall. Now he plays for the Lions, and will be seeking some revenge against the Argos, but am guessing that if Casey Printers is 100 %, he is the one to worry about.
Defense wins so we will need a strong effort from Kevin Eiben , Byron Parker, Willie Pile and the front 4. Need to put Cleo Lemon and Corey Boyd the best field position, and they should suceed.
Go Argos !
