EDMONTON – In the immediate aftermath of another lost game by the Argos, the team’s fifth in a row, head coach Corey Chamblin referred to the “structural” changes the team’s beleaguered offence would explore.

To borrow a phrase made famous by Rick Pitino when he coached the Boston Celtics and apply it to football, there’s no Ricky Ray, Damon Allen, Doug Flutie, Joe Barnes or even a Condredge Holloway walking through the doors anytime soon.

One scoring drive produced in the second half in Calgary, one touchdown averaged for the first three games of the season, no running game to speak of, no signs of even being committed to the run game.

There’s no short yardage offence to speak of, even when the Argos scrimmage at an opponent’s one-yard line and can’t penetrate the end zone on two plays, both on quarterback sneaks using the team’s backup.

It took the offence four games to find ways to get Derel Walker involved, even though the organization went hard on the former Eskimos receiver in free agency by making Walker the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league after the Argos were rebuffed by Bo Levi Mitchell.
