In the midst of a four-game winning streak that has his team comfortably atop the CFLs East division, Argos quarterback Ricky Ray says he thinks this years squad may be better than Torontos Grey Cup winning team of 2012. Speaking on TSN Drive Monday night, Ray said the offence in particular has benefited from being in year two of head coach Scott Milanovichs system. “I think right now were playing really good football,” Ray said. “Offensively, we have a lot of returners from last years team and I think were playing at a better level than we did last year. “I think this year being more comfortable with the offensive system, with the guys around me and the coaches being comfortable with who I am, knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are.” The comfort Ray has developed is due in part to leading an offence that has three former quarterbacks on the coaching staff in Milanovich, Jason Maas and offensive coordinator Marcus Brady. “His personality is really similar to mine,” Ray said of Brady. “Hes pretty calm and collected and throughout the course of the week he has that quiet confidence and game day he puts together a good game.” Although the Argos are already four points clear of second in the East, Ray said the coaching staff is keeping the team on an even-keel, realizing the season still has yet to reach its midway point. Despite facing a rash of injuries on offence which included the losses of receiver Dontrelle Inman and running back Chad Kackert, the team hasnt missed a beat with the likes of John Chiles, Jason Barnes, Curtis Steele and Zach Collaros stepping in to more than fill the void. “Weve had great depth not only at the quarterback position, running back position and the receiver position,” Ray said, indicating that GM Jim Barker and the rest of the coaching staff have done a tremendous job ensuring the team has had quality backups ready to step right in and contribute. “Weve had injuries at all three and the guys that have come in to fill those spots have done great.” With a remarkable 14-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio to go along with a 133 QB rating, Ray said hes delivering the ball on target without a second thought. “Right now, when were playing good, it just feels like Im just going through my reads like I normally do and when I see it Im just letting it go and just having complete confidence that its the right move and its working out. “It just seems like whatever you look at, youre seeing the right thing. Theres no hesitation. When youre feeling confident as an athlete it just feels like youre trusting what you see and its working out. Toronto will put its winning streak on the line in a Grey Cup rematch Friday night on TSN 1050 with the Stampeders, who will arrive at the Rogers Centre tied with the Argos for the leagues second best record. “Theyre doing a lot of the same things that they did last year…Theyre a good football team, theyve beaten some good teams and weve got to be ready to go this week.” David Silva Manchester City Jersey .

Blank Manchester City Jersey . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason.Matt Johns is Virginias incumbent starting quarterback and one of its unequivocal team leaders.In a summer that is part of a new era for the Cavaliers, the fifth-year senior has been leading his teammates through seven-on-seven drills and workouts in the weight room. Johns is embracing the changes though he doesnt know if he will be behind center when Virginia opens Bronco Mendenhalls coaching tenure against Richmond on Sept. 3.After spring practice, Mendenhall declined to name Johns or fellow senior Connor Brewer the starter, and the program has added former East Carolina quarterback Kurt Benkert as a transfer. Benkert, who has two years of eligibility remaining and can play right away, might be more mobile than either Johns or Brewer -- a factor Mendenhall said he wants in a quarterback -- and is familiar with the offensive system the Cavaliers will use.Johns is not letting any of the uncertainty knock him off course.Im good. Im just taking it one day at a time and putting one foot in front of the other and trying to stay in my lane, he said Friday. When you get caught up with everything, thats when it really hurts you and I just try to focus on what I can do to help this team get better and let the chips fall where they may.That means maintaining his leadership in the weight room, too. Frank Wintrich, the teams director of football performance, or strength and conditioning coaches, guides them through intense, body-changing workouts.Were getting pushed every day to new limits physically, mentally and just as a team, Johns said.Mendenhall promised when he was introduced that Virginiaas players would work harder than they ever thought they could.dddddddddddd. Wintrich and Mendenhall were already on the same page in that regard when they teamed up last year at BYU and then came east to Charlottesville together.Like the head coach, Wintrich was delighted that the Cavaliers embraced, rather than shied away from, the high standard. Only a handful of players opted to leave the football program, and none of them were on scholarship.The leadership of Johns and others has been crucial, Wintrich said, even after his job status became murky.Real testament to the kid, Wintrich said. Outstanding leadership, outstanding buy-in. His motivation and his energy havent waned one bit.Johns credits a changed attitude program-wide, and said the team is closer than ever before not only because they have had to work so hard together, but because of the excitement brewing that better results will be their reward in the fall.In the spring, when some players had one last chance on a Saturday morning to earn the right to practice by completing a series of runs within a proscribed time, the rest of the team showed up to cheer them on.And when the freshman recruits, on campus for nearly two weeks now, had their first scheduled workouts with Wintrich and his staff on Monday, about 50 of the veteran players were there offering encouragement.The culture is completely different, and its very exciting, Johns said.Even if he doesnt know what his fate will be in the fall.
