We all know what happenned the last time the Stamps played against an unproven QB. This time the Stamps players and coaches are saying all the right words and I believe them. I feel the Stamps will pressure young Cody Pickett all game and before we know it, in comes Kerry Joseph.

Don Matthews or "The Don" already made his presence felt after one game as Argos' head coach. I guess it is up to their players if they respond. Personally I would rather see the Argos players stay learning at this point then get ticked off and play better after this game.

OFFENSE:
Great game by Henry Burris last week and deservingly won the "Offensive Player of the Week". Jermaine Copeland been having some good 1 1/2 game and hope to continue all the way to the end of the season and playoffs. Teyo Johnson playing on Nik Lewis spot last week (after Lewis left for injury) looks impressive and his big body helped them on that spectacular Hail Mary Pass by Burris. Ken Yon Rambo is still the leading receiving in yards in the CFL. He too is beginning to play better lately. Brett Ralph is always the forgotten one by opposition's DB always comes up when needed. Nik Lewis and Ryan Thelwell are doubtful for this game. Joffrey Reynolds played well last game. He was banged up a few weeks ago so I guess he recovered. Jon Cornish was used sparingly last week as a fullback or a slotback mainly to help blocking. I have to say the new guy #81 Michael Jennings might surprise us in this game playing WR once in awhile. He will also play as punt returner. Burris will have another super game today.

DEFENSE:
I can just Labinjo, Freeman, Hughes, the rest of DLs and the LB crews (Armour, James, Rasheed and Carpenter) getting pumped up. They will pressure the new QB this time and we'll see them boost their QB sack numbers. I am saying this because I don't think Pickett is good enough. It is because the defense once to let everyone know that they learned their lessons last time and it will never happen again.

SPECIAL TEAMS:
Too bad Sandro stopped his streak last game against the Als. Nothing to worry about because the best kicker in the CFL starts another streak after the missed field goals. Punter Burke Dales is getting better angling the ball and he sure can kick it long. Coverage team is always good but they will have a tougher task this game against an explosive Dominik Dorsey. Kickoff return is never a problem for the Stamps and they are pretty consistent. I guess it is not fair to question the punt return last game with Howell and Jennings because we did not see them much. But all season we need to get better punt return.

ROSTER MOVES:
STAMPS:
Former Arena Football League DB Keon Raymond and RB Demetris Summers are in for DB Milton Collins(concussion) and LB Marc Calixte(knee). Also, doubtful are DB Julian Battle, R Nik Lewis and R Ryan Thelwell. Lewis says he will play so we will find out in game time.

ARGOS:
OL Andrew Greene, S Will Poole, SB P.K. Sam and DL Claude Harriot are in.
OL JUde St. John(hamstring), FB Steve Schmidt(shoulder), R Nathan Hoffart(shoulder) and LB Michael Fletcher(foot) are out.
Former UofC Dinos OL Mark Dewit will be a starter for the first time. QB Cody Pickett will also start his first game.

Stamps offense should keep the Argos D guessing all game by mxing up plays (running the ball, passing short yardage, long yardage). Defesne should let the new guy know that they mean business and keep on pressuring him. Pressures must come from everyone on Defense.

Game time at 4:30pm at McMahon Stadium. TSN will broadcast the game(subject to blackout)

GO STAMPS GO!!!!
