Argos - Brutal

[Eskiediehard]

Toronto's rush defense is BRUTAL, esp tonight against the Riders....did the Riders get over 300 yards total rushing?

Re: Argos - Brutal

They were at 223 with under a minute to go. Either Toronto's D is real bad or the Esks D is really good.

If you're talking run D, I think it is a little of both. The Riders dominated the lines tonight. Even if your not a Rider fan, you have to be happy for Corey Holmes. His life (along with a lot of other CFL players) has been turned upside down in the past month and it is nice to see him shine. Good luck to you guys tomorrow (I know I should be cheering for BC based on the standings, but I've never believed in that philosophy. If we win out, we'll still get second place (hey, a guy can dream)).

Time to celebrate.

I had this one called on the 13th man, Toronto has had a bad run defence for years.

Re: Argos - Brutal

Damon Allen showed tonight that the end is very near. The guy looked flat out awful.

Blame the O-line for that. Allen really had a tough time getting any timing down. Also, three cheers for fellow Moose Javian Scott Schultz. He played a whale of a game, although that was a stupid roughing the passer penalty he took at the end. And yes, he deserved it.

Re: Argos - Brutal

I cant stand Scott Schultz. I dont think hes anything to write home about. The players around him make him stand out. The announcers say it all the time. The double teaming of Davis frees Schultz up.

The line played decent but that pass that was intercepted by Davis in the endzone was brutal. Allen was bad tonight. Also the stuff on the one... Gramps had no chance getting that in.

By no means is he is the best player on the defense, but tonight, he was really pushing the pocket back and not allowing Allen to step up for his throws. Earlier in the year, he was getting owned an a frequent basis. As you said, Davis drew a lot of double teams that would allow Scott to make plays. But lately, he has been pulling his weight and is good to see, at least for this fan.

As he started the drive from the 10 yard line I said it was going to end with an INT in the endzone.

Damen is hot and cold. I still think he has another year in that body.

Before he retires or expires? j/k. As long as he wants to play, some team will pick him up.

.....and how many times did we try and run the ball against that D?

Re: Argos - Brutal

Damon did not look good tonight. He'll rebound next week.
