Five things to note
1. Ran, Andrew, Ran: Argos needs to control the line of scrimmage, and when Andrew Harris first plays the previous team in Double Blue, there is no better way than establishing a ground game. He hasn't played against his home team since he entered British Columbia on October 10, 2015. Lions. Harris needs 225 rushyards to reach 10,000 careers, a feat he doesn't reach on Monday.
2. Mill Run: Johnny Augustin averages 3.7 in a single trial, while Brady Riuler enters the night with an average of 3.0 bombers. Winnipeg dresses American Greg McRae for the first time. McRae at 5 feet 10 averaged 6.5 yards in Central Florida. He spent time with Argos in 2021.
3. Right-on: Isaia Light will be responsible for Argos' return mission after the hamstring injury that Jabon Leak was injured during Saturday practice. Game injured list. The field position is very close and Argos needs to play in a special team against the Winnipeg unit trained in the cover team.
4. "Big" Nights: Argos needs to explain Adam Big Hill if he wants to establish a ground game. Harris is familiar with the trends in Big Hill, but he is also familiar with why he is moving Harris. From sideline to sideline, no LB is better than Big Hill, who is equally proficient when playing down the hill.
5. WOE IS THE O: The Toronto attack didn't work in two games. And you have to stay on the field against the defense of bombers that don't allow the enemy to last. Drive; Argos was pretty bland, but relying on some trick play may help launch an attack that requires sparks.
Key Match
Bomber OL Chris Kolankowski vs Argos DT Sean Oakman
Good guy Kolankowski is York Attended the Gray Cup with Argos as a rookie in 2017. He must line up in the center and do his best to secure the interior of Winnipeg's O-line. The bomber could double the Argos lineman, as the Oakman is a beast and needs to be monitored, but Korankowski cannot do it alone.
Notes
In the last four games where Winnipeg will face eastern enemies at the beginning of the season, the bombers will be in the west. Play against the enemy. The next four games ... In 74 games against Winnipeg, Harris recorded a rush of 5,402 yards, a total of 35 touchdowns, and accumulated 7,986 yards from the scrimmage. With a defeat in BC last week, he became the fifth player in league history, recording Winnipeg's great Milt Stegal (15,209) at 169 yards with over 15,000 yards of scrimmage yards and trails. Numbers: Winnipeg has allowed less than 20 points in 13 out of 17 games since the start of 2021, 12-1 during that period. Since its inception in 2021, Winnipeg has won sales battles in 14 of 17 games, setting a 13 to 1 record during that period. The team allowed only 12 points in the second half, no touchdowns, and only 6 points allowed in the fourth quarter with two field goals this season ... Both teams made their CFL debut in Big Blue. Dress up an American backup with a running back with McRae who played A.J. Owellet
to make his season debut in A.J. Double Blue Our Take: Bomber 23, Argos 18
For Argos, who rarely loses at home, this is a winning game. Against Winnipeg's strong defense, it relies heavily on the ability to attack and end the drive with a TD. The game can go in either direction given Winnipeg's lack of aggressive explosiveness and Nick Demski's lack of injury. The big key is how well Argos can prevent WR Rasheed Bailey from playing.
