Headlines revealing that the Toronto Argonauts offence needs help might rank with such revelations as “Sun to rise in east tomorrow” and “Leafs front office in turmoil.”

Rookie head coach Rich Stubler admits the team’s offence hasn’t been very good for several years. Owner David Cynamon said last week that the team hasn’t had a strong offence since the day he and Howard Sokolowski bought the team five years ago.

Fixing an offence that was the league’s worst last season and is on its way to defending that dubious title this year may seem like a monumental task.

Stubler himself said yesterday he’s not sure when things will start working.

“I think we have the right people in place,” he said. “Now it’s just a matter of letting them find their way.”

But running back Dominique Dorsey, who’s provided most of the excitement this season with his kick returns, doesn’t think it will take long.

“I think it’s going to be all right,” the diminutive former University of Nevada Las Vegas back said yesterday. “I have faith in our offence. I know we’re better than what we showed in the last two games.

“We’ve got so many players who can get the job done.”

But if there are so many players who can get the job done, why has this offence produced but three touchdowns in two games? Dorsey says it’s a matter of sticking to the game plan and then executing it, which apparently is a lot harder than it sounds.
