- Toronto Argonauts special teams captain Brian Harelimana delivered a stern message to his unit after their subpar performance in Saturday’s victory over Ottawa, vowing mistakes won’t happen again
- The Argos allowed an 88-yard punt return by Kalil Pimpleton in the fourth quarter that nearly cost them the game, dropping them from first to third in CFL punt return defense
- Despite the lapse, Derek Slywka’s heads-up play on the Pimpleton return—using smart angle-of-pursuit to force the returner to the sideline—prevented a potential touchdown
- Coordinator Mickey Donovan’s game planning combined with elite speed and communication throughout the week has been the foundation of the special teams’ league-leading success this season
- The unit leads the CFL in average yards allowed per punt return (14.8 yards), and Harelimana has recorded a team-high 12 special teams tackles
- The Argos will look to reassert their special teams dominance this week against the 10-3 Edmonton Elks in a crucial matchup
