The Argos are planning a more-is-better strategy when it comes to preventing Oliveira from running wild at B.C. Place on Sunday.
“The thing with Brady is that he is so powerful,” said Kevin Eiben, who shares Toronto’s defensive co-ordinator duties with Will Fields. “His legs are built like tree trunks.

“He runs the ball hard. He’s not an easy guy to tackle. He’s slippery, elusive.”
