I would like to see Dankwah play. With the possible free agents we have along the line, I think it would actually be a good thing to sit Shepley this weekpaulwoods13 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2026 4:28 pm 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.
If John returns at S, I could see Rush Reimer start in Shepley's spot.AngeloV wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2026 6:22 pmI would like to see Dankwah play.

It’s not a real start. It’s roster manipulation on the ratio.Ti-Catsfan89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2026 2:32 pm It's nice seeing Gauthier getting the start at field cornerback.
It doesn't benefit you guys in anyway. You already have the 7 true Canadian starters, plus I'm assuming Pickett is the 8th as the naturalized Canadian.AngeloV wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2026 6:34 pmIt’s not a real start.

The roster rules are confusing and opaque. For this game, there are four designated (backup) Americans: McFadden, Slywka, Johnson and Grant. McFadden (not Pickett) is also listed as the "designated national," if I'm reading the depth chart correctly. There presumably is some reason this makes sense but the league has never (or at least not recently) explained how this works. You are correct that even without Gauthier, the Argos have the seven NAT starters they need: two receivers, three o-linemen, one d-lineman and one LB. I'm betting McFadden will play virtually every snap at CB despite being listed as backup on the chart. Perhaps they will sub in Gauthier for him on downs where they use all Americans on the d-line?Ti-Catsfan89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2026 7:31 pmIt doesn't benefit you guys in anyway.

Heaven forbid TSN make it simple. Does TSN 1050 actually do anything? Hogan and Grant and the team probably do it all, and 1050 provide the platform. Away games they are just watching the TV broadcast and calling it that way correct? How many Argo games will actually be broadcast on the radio station live this year?shayman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2026 6:01 pm I had trouble finding the link to the TSN1050 radio broadcast of last week's game - couldn't find a link anywhere on tsn1050.ca that wasn't just world cup audio.
Mike Hogan says that today they'll post the link to the stream on Twitter, and it'll be on 1050 as soon as soccer is over.
