Default GAME 8: STAMPS at LIONS' DEN

Both teams are coming back from a bye week. It'll be interesting to see who will be back from the injured list from Calgary especially. So far, I haven't heard if MLB Saleem Rasheed will be back yet or not.

As we all know, the Stampeders are on a seven game losing streak on the road against the Leos. The last they won Wally Buono was still our coach and Marcus Crandell was our QB. I feel that the Stamps will stop that drought on Friday night.

OFFENSIVELY: Henry Burris, Joffrey Reynolds and the Olines will have to battle with Brent Johnson, Cameron Wake and MLB Javier Glatt. Last time they played each other this season, all 3 I mentioned from BC was a non-factor. Hopefully that will stay the same on this game. The only changes I am hearing so far for the Stamps is they will add a rookie receiver 6'5" from LSU Tigers Reggie Williams on the lineup.

DEFENSIVELY: Jojuan Armour and the rest of Defense are still pumped up after stopping Wes Cates last week. They are thinking they will do the same to Logan and even Lumbala. With RB Joe Smith out of the picture for the Leos, the Stamps can concentrate on stopping the slick running back Stefan Logan. There was no mention if Geroy Simon will be back for BC this game but he does, look for Browner or Bannister going after this guy. Not sure who the defense will play against this game. Would it be QB Jarious Jackson or Buck Pierce?

SPECIAL TEAM: Is this the time to see Howell finally go for a long run or are we still going to see his consistent 5-10 yards or letting the ball go all the way to the end zone? Are we going to see somebody else do a punt return other than Howell? I hope so.

Sandro deAngelis is always a consistent kicker so I don't expect any different here. Burke Dales has been up and down so far but he is doing his job. Our punt/kickoff returns stoppers have been good so far especially if they can eliminate some of the penalties. Browner and Cornish are the two best stopper we have. They will have a tougher task this time stopping Ian Smart.

I will update thread when I hear of any roster changes.
