Good overall game by the Stampeders. All 3 facets were awesome tonight. They were all prepared to play and wanted to prove they are the best tem in the CFL. Great dominating win.
OFFENSE:
Bo Levi Mitchell was very poised, very comfortable and proven he is one of OR the best QB in the CFL tonight. Mitchell exposed the weakness of the best LB crew in the CFL by throwing the ball to Harrison a few times and to Cote, who happens to score a TD. Eliminiam and Bighill couldn't cover our RB/FB on passing plays. Mitchell spread the ball around and his receivers were making nice plays and catching the ball. Parker played well so as Daniels, Grant and McDaniel. Offensive Line was not perfect but they protected Mitchell very well in this game. I don't think I ever seen BC DLine and LBs came even close to touching Mitchell all night. Dickenson called a good game tonight.
DEFENSE:
This is the best full 60 minutes game by the defense this season. They were constantly pressuring Jennings in this game. Jennings made some good throw and BC went to the red zone 3 times but defense shut them down and only gave up 3 FGs instead. Then in the second half they totally shut BC offense down. I can't even pick the defensive player of the game tonight because there are too many of them who played well.
I've been critical of Claybrook's play calling this season but I think he is getting better and getting comfortable.
SPECIAL TEAM:
Hats off to special team cover team for shutting down Chris Rainey. Maver was awesome directing his punts away from Rainey. When Rainey gets the ball, the cover team are there to stop him and even made him fumble the ball. Paredes was perfect again.
