Game Thread: Toronto Argonauts "@" Hamilton Tiger-Cats

[Scooter McCray]

According to CTV Toronto's noon newscast, the Argos are practising indoors today due to the poor air quality in the region.

Hopefully, air quality will improve by Saturday.

Probably no worse than the usual air on Barton Street?

Or sitting in studio beside Rosemary Barton. When Stelco is belching, the sulfur is strong, no question.

Grant, Haggerty and (not surprisingly) Ojo are out. Cassar and Judge are questionable.

Ojo and Cassar (if he’s scratched) are going to missed in ST’s coverage. Hopefully the new punter will good at angling the punts between the numbers and sideline. IMO, that is something Haggerty isn’t all that consistent at.
Also means a new holder for Lirim with minimal practice because of the smoke. I still hate having a punter hold on FG’s as opposed to a ball handler like a QB or receiver. I get why they do it, but don’t like it.

Ungerer held for FGs two years ago when Hagerty missed time, so I suspect he would do so again now.

It looks, from the injury report yesterday, like Cam Judge injured his hamstring in practice.

[OV Argo]

Tre Ford named Ticats starter; almost guaranteed though there will be a quick hook if he does not do well early. Argo D might have to be a bit wary of his running, though CFL OCs now just do not get how to game plan or deploy a serious run threat QB. Dolegala playing would have meant an Argo win; but the D has to still play tough; new Ticats RB Rountree looks ordinary to sub-par IMO (now watch him have a big game vs. the Argos); hope Scotty M's game plan is based on jump ball throws to superstar Kenny Lawler and the Argo DBs pick that junk off.

He can't catch a break.

Ford playing scares the Kraut out of me. Like you, I don't think leash is long. Milanovich won't tolerate going off script for long unless he has instant success doing so which is what scares me. Argo offence needs to be patient like they were in Saskatchewan. Take the underneath shit all night long. Make them play up and make them pay

Burnip was the holder on field goals for Alabama during his time there so has vast experience doing so. I'm looking forward to seeing him punt for the Argos as he was one of the better punters for Alabama in recent times.

Interesting they are dressing Ready rather than Ulm. Is Ulm's injury still bothering him or has Ready showed more in practice
