It took the Argos four games to finally get Derel Walker, the CFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback, the ball. But the offence has yet to find a way to do the same for S.J. Green.

With not enough talent and little production from the quarterback position, the first six games have been an embarrassment on offence.

“We know who we are. We know how we’re close, but we didn’t break through in that first six,’’ said head coach Corey Chamblin, who admits he, too, breaks down the season into thirds. “We know looking at this next six, the second six. We start with Winnipeg, one of the tougher deals.

“Then we get a bye and that’ll be a good thing for us to really re-evaluate how we’re going to come back from the bye, whether there will be roster changes or whatever the changes might be.”

Only time will tell what kind of changes the Argos are capable of making or are willing to make, regardless of perception.

When their season began, the Argos were coming off an opening-week bye which, in theory, allowed the team added time to properly assess its roster.

Then came the season opener and a 50-point loss to Hamilton at BMO Field when it took the offence until the game’s final minute to finally cross the end zone.

A two-hour weather delay would play out in Regina, yet another game in which the offence did next to nothing.

The Argos should have beaten visiting B.C., and not suffered a one-point loss on a walk-off rouge when veteran returner Chris Rainey had his right foot out of bounds in the back of Toronto’s end zone.
