Bye Week: Kelly's Potential Return For The Stretch Run
from Xs and Argos Podcast Hosted by Ben Grant
Ben Grant and JB are here to get you through Toronto's second bye week of the 2025 season - one that couldn't have come at a better time. At the heart of this episode is the looming quarterback question: Nick Arbuckle is on a six-game tear, completing 74% of his passes for 2,137 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just two interceptions - a pace that would put him in Doug Flutie territory over a full season. But Chad Kelly has teased his return on Instagram for Toronto's next game. If he's healthy, is there a debate to be had about who gives Toronto the best chance to win? The guys dig into what's fueling Arbuckle's hot streak, Kelly's intangibles, and whether Coach Dinwiddie risks upsetting team chemistry with an abrupt switch. They also set the table for the final six games of the year, including a playoff path that runs through Saskatchewan and Calgary. Off the field, the Argos announced a special tribute: on September 13th vs. Edmonton, the team will honour John Candy, with the first 5,000 fans at BMO receiving a commemorative t-shirt. Ben and JB share memories of Candy's legacy as an owner and a Canadian icon. Plus, as always: Pick Six, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag.
