Bye Week Mailbag Special!

from Xs and Argos Podcast Hosted by Ben Grant

For this Bye Week Special, we're turning the show over to the listeners for a jam-packed mailbag featuring some terrific questions about the Argos, the CFL, and the finer points of football strategy. And where better to start than Toronto's recent short-yardage struggles? Why would a team voluntarily kick off to start the second half? Why don't more offences use an up-tempo, no-huddle attack to prevent defensive substitutions? And if second-and-inches is practically a free play, why not take a shot downfield instead of simply moving the chains? Ben also tackles questions about Toronto's remarkable ability to uncover hidden talent, the biggest priorities for the coaching staff heading toward the playoffs, controversial tackling techniques, CFL replay rules, and some of the quirks that make Canadian football unique. Plus, there's another edition of Put Me Down for 20, and Ben throws down a Challenge Flag before wrapping things up. It's the Xs and Argos Bye Week Special, brought to you by Something in the Water Brewing!
