TSN and\u00a0SportsCage analyst Glen Suitor enjoyed\u00a0Toronto Argonauts’ head coach Ryan Dinwiddie’s fiery celebration after his team’s walk-off win over\u00a0the Edmonton Elks in Week 15.<\/p>\n
“I’m okay with it, I really am. Honestly, I know that flies against probably most of my commentary, most of my life, but\u00a0It’s an emotional game.\u00a0I don’t know the depths of the trash talking that was going on during the game, but for him to react at that level…\u00a0I could do the conventional,\u00a0‘He’s got to keep his composure and his team is watching him.’\u00a0But you know what? It’s okay,” Suitor said on\u00a0the SportsCage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Sometimes, go nuts,\u00a0don’t cross the line and hit anybody, but get pissed off. Get mad, that’s okay, channel it. Go tell them, ‘Look at the scoreboard.’ That’s the best one, that’s the trump card of all trash talk. When you’re at the end of the game, you can say, ‘Hey, dude, look at the scoreboard.’ That’s all that matters, and they won\u00a0it, so he got the last laugh in that one.”<\/p>\n
The Argonauts came back\u00a0from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Elks and\u00a0won the game on a last-second, 48-yard field goal by Canadian kicker Lirim Hajrullahu.<\/p>\n

According to 3DownNation reporter\u00a0Griff Bordignon<\/a>, Dinwiddie made clear\u00a0what he said was not directed towards\u00a0Edmonton\u00a0head coach\u00a0Mark Killam.<\/p>\n “It had nothing to do with Mark. There’s a pretender that’s not in our building anymore that was chirping all game, personally, to me. And then there’s a coach that was chirping very personable (sic), and I took offence to it,” Dinwiddie told\u00a0Bordignon. “I knew that’s what my plan was once we put ’em away. Those guys can enjoy the offseason.”<\/p>\n When\u00a0asked about the incident, Kilam\u00a0only talked about football. “My tension comes from us doing bad football. That’s all.”<\/p>\n TSN’s\u00a0Matthew Scianitti reported on the sideline during the game\u00a0the coach in question that set Dinwiddie off was Elks’ special team coordinator and defensive assistant Demetrious Maxie. Dinwiddie had Maxie on his Argonauts staff in 2024 as a defensive line coach. 3DownNation reporter J.C. Abbott speculated\u00a0the player\u00a0who Dinwiddie was\u00a0referring to in his rant was former Argo\u00a0Jordan Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n From\u00a0Suitor’s perspective,\u00a0Dinwiddie’s over-the-top celebration is a teachable lesson for his team.<\/p>\n “It’s funny because he held that emotion until the game was over,” Suitor said. “Now, if he doesn’t have to walk it back, he can go to his team and look them right in the eye and say, ‘Guys, as long as you do that, use that emotion. If they start poking you and they make it personal, then go ahead and use that emotion, channel it.’\u00a0Then you can celebrate and tell them, ‘Look at the scoreboard at the end.'”<\/p>\n Meanwhile, when Suitor looks at the current CFL standings he\u00a0likes how competitive it is for\u00a0teams to make the Grey Cup playoffs.<\/p>\n “I don’t remember a time in recent history,\u00a010 years, that everybody has still been engaged at this point in the season. Usually by now there’s one or two teams that are out,” Suitor said. “This year they’re all in the fight. The crossover is in play. For the first time in five years, there’s maybe a couple of dogs on the porch, not just one wearing blue and white.”<\/p>\n The Riders are first in the\u00a0West Division with a 10-3 record, the\u00a0Calgary Stampeders are in second place at\u00a08-4, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the B.C. Lions both have 6-7 records, and the Elks are last with a 5-8 record.<\/p>\n In the East Division, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats lead\u00a0with an 8-5 record, followed by the Montreal Alouettes with a 6-7 record, the Toronto Argonauts with a 5-8 record, and the Ottawa Redblacks with a 4-9 record.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
