Default Game 5: BC Lions at STAMPEDERS

Game time: Friday, July 29th 8PM
McMahon Stadium
Televised: TSN and ESPN3

Battle of 1st place in the West between the Wally Buono's BC Lions and his former team Calgary Stampeders. Stampeders only lost this season was on Game 1 against the Lions at BC Lions. Stampeders were actually dominated that Game 1 but lost because of the special team miscues.

OFFENSE:
Bo Levi Mitchell broke the CFL'ss record of throwing TD in 19 consecutive games. He was 29/41 for 310 yards 3 TDs and 1 INT last week vs Winnipeg. His favorite target last game was Anthony Parker(7 for 81 yards 1 TD), Marquy McDaniel(7 for 80 yards 1 TD). Bakari Grant playing in his second game as a Stampeders caught 5 passes for 64 yards, while Greg Wilson, playing his first game this season caught 4 times for 37 yards.
The Offensive Line played all their starters(Bergman, Wilson, Federkeil, Dennis and Lavertu) for the first time won't have Federkeil tomorrow due to injury. He will be replace by an American OLine Ucambre Williams. Williams playing his first game in the CFL usually plays on the left side but tomorrow he'll play on the right side. R Lemar Durant been practicing this week and looks like he'll dress for tomorrow's game.

DEFENSE:
I thought defense played very well last game especially DE Ja'Gared Davis who had 7 tackles and 2 QB sacks last game. CB Tommy Campbell also hada huge game leading the tackles with 11 and was playing against Bombers speedy Darvin Adams. Fred Bennett forced a fumble and also recovered one. SAM LB Joe Burnett made a timely interception late in the game to break the Bombers' momentum.
Dickenson is thinking of dressing DB Ciante Evans tomorrow. He is very impress with this guy's play in one game before being injured and also during practice. MLB Taylor Reed missed last game will probably dress also.

SPECIAL TEAM:
Kicker Rene Paredes is one of the kickers in the CFL who's been struggling. Paredes was perfect on field goal but he missed another convert last game. Not sure what is wrong with him. Is it mental or mechanical? Hopefully he'll bounce back soon and goes back to the same kicker as he was in the first few seasons in the CFL. Returner Roy Finch I starting to find the hole in the last few games and I am sure we will see him celebrate his TD sometime soon.

**************************************************
I think Stamps defense is getting better every game but they are not perfect yet. Hopefully they can pressure Jennings a lot tomorrow night. I definitely think they can beat the Lions tomorrow especially if they stay discipline and away from dumb penalties.

GO STAMPS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
