Now that the boys have earned a few practices without pads (helmets, shoulder pads and shorts only for the past few days), the coaching staff is placing more emphasis on the special teams phase of the game.
“It’s vital.” says head coach Bart Andrus. The kicking and return game requires good athletes and strong players who […]

The off-season additions of Rob Murphy and Dominic Picard are the high-profile augmentations of the Argos offensive line, but with the injury to Brian Ramsay the situation at camp has called for the younger guys to step it up.
So, right off the top for your listening pleasure, my chat with Richard Zulys and Zach Pollari […]

 Time to see how the n00bs are doin’. :)
Head Coach Bart Andrus has been very complimentary regarding this year’s crop of CFL draftees. “We felt very good about this class of rookies.” he says. Of course, he got a real good look at the whole mob in the E-camp, and is particularly pleased with how draft day went for […]
