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.

Theres no hesitation. When youre feeling confident as an athlete it just feels like youre trusting what you see and its working out.
