I have to admit when I look at this Stamps roster I have to wonder how they could be even remotely close to the salary cap ceiling given what the Ti-Cats are fielding. First time maybe ever under Huff where there's been very little star power on the roster. Hopefully some of these younger players break through but this does look like a bit of a rebuild season.
I could be wrong but I totally I disagree with him.

Stamps have the best QB and the best player in the league, who had heard of Rogers, Begelton, Daniels, Brescasin, Jorden etc etc the last few years and all the sudden they were all being talked about.

From all account Myala and Ambles have had great camps. Huff looked great last year and imo could have a huge year. This is what Stamps do, make players and bafoon like Madani still hasnt learned that. Will there be growing pains? of course but all their starters have been in the system.

The OL isn't bad as I've said before barring injuries they already have 2 all-stars on the line...2 other starters who have started for this team before and new RT.

We'll see when the game start. The practise roster will be a revolving door for first 4-5 weeks for all teams.

I can't disagree with him. Looking at the roster I am very unimpressed at the name talent compared to other rosters. Outside of Mitchell I have no idea where Huff is spending his money because he largely avoids free agency and lets most of his big name UFA's go. That said Huff and Dickenson deserve the benefit of the doubt until the product on field says otherwise. I personally think this is a bit of a transition season and a worse product than we have been used to over the past 15 years.

The Lawfirm gets the start in week 1 against the Stamps...

The Toronto Argonauts have named their starting quarterback one day earlier than promised, appointing McLeod Bethel-Thompson as the man to lead the team on August 7 against the Calgary Stampeders.

Bethel-Thompson led the CFL in touchdown passes with 26 back in 2019, whiled also tossing 13 interceptions in 13 starts for the Boatmen. He completed 68 percent of his passes for 4,024 yards.

Holy Moley Jeremiah Masoli!!

I think it's fair to say that he isn't rusty following two years off a torn ACL

Ok TSN. Get rid of the yellow transition graphic on the bottom. Makes me feel like there’s a flag every play. Seems one of the broadcast networks does this every year

Now it truly feels like summer. Nothing beats a patio beer with the CFL on the TV.

Maybe it's time for the Ti-Cats to give Dane Evans a few snaps under centre?

Does Hamilton actually have zero net rushing yards? Hard to win football games that way...

They look awful since then.

It’s very hard not to score more than 6 points in the CFL.

Who at TSN thought that was a good idea? Just terrible.

So pumped for this today, man that was harrowing for a while if the CFL would even survive the pandemic. Can't wait to finally watch Bo doing his thing again tonight, Go Stamps Go!!!
