“There’s no doubt I believe in myself and the player I can be,” said Bethel-Thompson. “I think we (the 0-6 Argos) have them (5-1 Blue Bombers) just where we want them, to be honest.

“This is where we start. Obviously disappointing, it wasn’t the game (in Edmonton) where I wanted to play. Sometimes you want it so much it’s like a bar of soap — you squeeze it and it slips away. Clearly last week I was so in it, my face was in it, my intentions were in it, my mind was in it that I didn’t have space from it. I was so far in it I couldn’t find out where my reads were, where my defenders were. Definitely a learning lesson, but excited to be back playing football this week.”

After Toronto’s shutout loss to the host Esks, Argos head coach Corey Chamblin felt Bethel-Thompson wasn’t seeing the game well and thought the view from the bench area would help.

Bethel-Thompson did re-emerge once Dakota Prukop took his turn at the position.
