Great crowd and atmosphere at the stadium yesterday, and most stayed right to the end. Other than opening night in 2016, I don’t recall a bigger crowd for a regular season game. Anyone know the attendance?
18,354
It really looked like the team fed off the energy that the larger crowd brings. It definitely feels different in there when it’s more than half full.

When Coxie gets back, who sits to keep Herslow in the lineup? Would have to be either Casey or Darkangelo, I assume. The latter didn't see much (if any) action on defence yesterday, I don't think, but was active on specials. The former subbed in frequently on defence in passing situations. I don't think we will see Edouard or Blackburn starting on D in the near future; Hood seemed solid yesterday and I think Dozier has been pretty good although I haven't watched him closely.
We might also need a second RB, since McMahon got banged up again. Hopefully Williams will be ready to return for Labour Day.
When Coxie returns, Davaris Daniels will suddenly get a mysterious lower body injury.

Benching Daniels would be foolish. It isn’t only about who catches the ball. Daniels is sound at everything he does which allows other receivers to get open.

Then I guess Ungerer’s the one who sits.

thank you Argos for a terrifically entertaining CNE game. Best performance we have seen at BMO this year.
Not perfect, for sure, often weak coverage by the DB's, but the best team effort we have seen so far.
Nick was slinging it like R. Ray out there. Herslow really stepped up when called upon. O-line was much improved.

My question was not about which receiver he would replace -- they will all, including Ungerer, see lots of playing time. It's about which INT would sit to add an extra INT on offence.

They had dressed Herslow the previous couple of games even with both Daniels and Coxie starting. I see no reason why this would change. They are starting 8 Canadians anyway, so no reason why Herslow can’t rotate with any of the other receivers.

Nice to see the running game come alive in the 4th quarter to help kill the game. Hope that had to do with Spencer Brown and the o-line rather than BC 's tank hitting empty.

Right, but an INT who dressed on Saturday would have to come out of the lineup. Hence my question: which one? The only reason they were able to dress (and start) Hood on Saturday was because Coxie sat. Once he goes back in, are they going to take out Hood and put Edouard back in at CB? (I don't think so.) Or sit either Darkangelo or Casey, both of whom play reasonably significant roles? Surely I'm not the only person fascinated by roster machinations, and these types of difficult decisions.
