Since they don’t run the ball anyway, maybe time to just bring in a back that can block and keep him in the backfield all game long. The move of Cassar to FB is baffling at best. Hems a really good LB and totally missed 2 big blocking assignments last game. Just stick Parselidis in the backfield and let him block
It's interesting teams seem to want to go American at OT. It's a very important part of the o-line, and sheer numbers dictate for depth you go American. Except the quality isn't there with the Argo OTs, and there is no US depth behind them on the roster. NFL hordes OTs for the same reason. Baffled they have not brought back Allen. Unless he's not interested. Maybe going Canadian, developing, and paying up is more important at Tackle than Guard or Centre now as it is more vital and the US depth isn't apparent anymore.
Argos attempted to address the tackle position by drafting Niklas Henning but unfortunately will have to wait indefinitely for him to come to the CFL (if he does at all).Scooter McCray wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 7:24 pmIt's interesting teams seem to want to go American at OT.

Would Dankwah or Doxtater been worse at OT?ARGO57 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 8:14 pmArgos attempted to address the tackle position by drafting Niklas Henning but unfortunately will have to wait indefinitely for him to come to the CFL (if he does at all).Scooter McCray wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 7:24 pmIt's interesting teams seem to want to go American at OT.

The interactions I have had with Allen on Twitter leads me to believe he is interested in returning to Toronto. I think Bland has potential and will get better the more he plays at left tackle. Kemp is what he is though and I suspect he is already close to his ceiling. The NFL may hoard tackles but that's because they struggle to find good ones just as much as the CFL does.Scooter McCray wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 7:24 pmIt's interesting teams seem to want to go American at OT.

Probably not, unfortunately Hamilton may be licking their chops at the thought of facing this O-Line.gilthethrill wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 9:09 pmWould Dankwah or Doxtater been worse at OT?ARGO57 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 8:14 pmArgos attempted to address the tackle position by drafting Niklas Henning but unfortunately will have to wait indefinitely for him to come to the CFL (if he does at all).Scooter McCray wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2026 7:24 pm It's interesting teams seem to want to go American at OT.

Probably a better pass blocker than Hicks.gilthethrill wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2026 3:54 am Look for a change at RB tomorrow night. Sam Hicks has been demoted to the PR while powerback Qualan Jones is added to the Active Roster. DB Alex Tuebner is healthy & on the roster as well.
