Calgary won 3 games against BC Lions so it means they owned the Lions this season. But stop right there! BC Lions still have the best defensive linemen in the league but these guys seems to be having problem against the rock and sock'em Stampeders' offensive linemen. I love Rob Lazeo's interview yesterday when a reporter asked how come BC Lions DLine are having a tough time against the Stamps OLine. Lazeo said that is because they don't like to get punched in the mouth. Everybody knows Lazeo and Pilon had a reputation for being tough and I guess the rookies are too.
I would think the Stamps can beat the Lions tomorrow and the reason why BC Lions are still playing in the playoff was because of Michael Bishop's incompetent plays and Saskatchewan's too many turnovers. I don't think BC expects to have an easy time against the Stamps.

OFFENSE: Henry Burris got snubbed on the All Star selections. Pretty weird that he is the Western nominees for the Outstanding Player of the CFL and the guy were not even voted in for All Star. Whoever voting the All Star should get their head a shake.
Burris will be the key player in this game. If he's hot, I can't see the Stamps lose this game.Burris backups are: Nealy, who did well running for TD last game and Procter who I think looks good in his short stint. Not sure if Sankey is still in Stamps' plan. All Star RB Joffrey Reynolds will have to prove the fans, the media and himself that he can win championship and play well when the going gets tough. I am sure Reynolds will have a ball against the Lions. If he is not effective enough, we still have two types of RB who can play in Jon Cornish and Summers. Cote is the other RB/FB in the lineup. Teyo Johnson I am very impressed with this giant receiver. He can catch the ball and he is also a good blocker. I believed he is one of the reason Burris and Reynolds and other RB have some rooms to run the ball. He is like another OLine out there and he is a good threat as well. Nik Lewis, what can you say about this guy? He plays hard all the time and he blocks well and also a huge threat in catching the ball. He is one of the best receiver in YAC (Yards After Catches). CFL leading receiver Rambo I think will have a good game against BC again. Copeland, Ralph, Thelwell and Arthur are the other threats for the Stamps. Don't forget Summers and Reynolds can also catch the ball and gain lots of yardage after the catch.

OFFENSIVE LINE: Jesse Newman and Archibald should be back in the lineup, not sure if Antonio Hall will be playing as well. With Rock'em Sock'em Rob Lazeo and Jeff Pilon plus Tsoumpas, I have to say Wake, Hunt, Johnson and Williams will have a hard time going after Burris and Reynolds.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN: Charles Hughes should be back tomorrow. Him and Labinjo along with LB James, Armour and Rasheed will have to stop that slick little RB Stefan Logan. I would rather let this guy loose all night than Pierce or Jackson having lots of time throwing the ball to Lions receivers. Eddie Freeman, and Hodges will take the other DLine starting spot. The rest of the Dlines are Justin Phillips, Miguel Robede, and Randy Chevrier.

LINEBACKERS: Like I mentioned above Jojuan Armour will have his hands full chasing Logan I guess this is his time to show why the Stamps chased to sign him in the off-season. Shannon James and MLB Saleem Rasheed are the other starters while Dwayne Carpenter will go back as a backup along with Calixte, Grootegood, LeMarcus Rowell and Ternovatsky.

SECONDARY: I like the way they frustrated Geroy Simon in the last game. Lenny Walls and Brandon Browner played well shutting down Simon with Lysack's help for sure. Brandon Smith, Lysack and Anderson are the other starters. The rest of the secondaries are Milton Collins, Keon Raymond and Markus Howell. The only question mark so far this game is if Lenny Walls are ready to go back from his slight ankle injuries during the bye week. If he can't play, it looks like JR Ruffin will be inserted or Calvin Bannister. The whole secondary played tremendously last game and I can see another repeat performance in this Western Finals.

SPECIAL TEAM: The coverage and the returns have been soild all season. One thing I noticed lately was Browner is not the usual the first person to get into the returner. It doesn't matter anyways because whoever replace him to be the first guy does his job as well. All Star Kicker Sandro is always good and Punter Burke Dales have been good lately. Returners Howell and Summers are improving at a right time. The coverage team will didn't really have a tougher time against the slick running of Ian Smart last game.

The weather will be awesome with chinook and high 13 Celsius. The question is, is it going to be windy. I can see the Stamps beating the Lions again if they play smart and not make some unneccessary turnovers or penalties. Defensive should keep prsssuring the QB whether it is Pierce or Jarious Jackson. I am hoping Pierce will start as he is more like a pocket QB while Jackson can be threat running the ball as well with huge arms. Secondary should be aggressive and not give the receivers a lot of room.

GO STAMPS GO!!
