Game Thread: Toronto Argonauts at Calgary Stampeders

If the Argos can go into McMahon, where they never win, and steal a win then this team might just be 100% legit.

This team is 100% legit as long as their key players stay healthy

This will be an excellent test for the o-line. Stamps have a ferocious d-line.

That’s how I see it, win or lose this week this Argo team is legit provided they stay healthy.
They have some things to clean up and improve on but both the talent level and effort are there so far!

Calgary has only faced Kelly at home except for 6 pass attempts in 2023. I know the Argos historically don't play well there, but the Stampeders aren't exactly facing Cam Dukes. I expect Adams to struggle in a Calgary defeat.

Hendrix and John went full today. Teubner did not practise.

[Unplayable]

That is good news re Hendirx and John. Hendrix should help the defence, and John played well the last game he played.

[Scooter McCray]

Calgary's defensive line is healthy and looking good. What are strategies to deal with it? Kelly quick passing game? Rollout Kelly from pocket? Designed running plays for Chad wide? Play action pass? Establishing run may be a problem and he may have less than 3 seconds to stand in any kind of pocket.

After watching the Calgary - B.C. game the other day, it is pretty evident that the Argos have to run the ball much more than B.C. did in their game. The Lions only attempted 10 carries the entire game and 6 by James Butler alone. That is not enough to keep the relentless Calgary pass rush honest. On the other hand, Calgary attempted 20 rushes.

Hendrix and John are available but Shepley, who did not practise today, is questionable. That presents potentially a huge test for Dankwah or whomever is the replacement.
