Tough lost last week against Montreal Alouettes. Sloppy first quarter and bad turnovers late in the game.

Tonight the Stamps are in Winnipeg to play the Blue Bombers starts at 5:30pm televised on TSN.

Calgary still have a lot of injured players early this season. R Ken Yon Rambo, OL Jeff Pilon and OL Jesse Newman will start today though. Rambo and Pilon did not dress last game and Newman dressed but did not see any action.

I don't think the Stamps will take the Bombers lightly this time. Last season, they were surprised and sort of embarrassed by the Bombers. Although the Blue Bombers looks different this season, those lost still lingers on some of the veterans.

QB: Burris had a rough game last week. I can see him bouncing back this game. Burris usually are plays better after a bad game. Nealy and Tate will back him up.

RB: Reynolds is the starter. He didn't really had a lot of openings last week and definitely missed the blocking of Pilon and Newman. New guy Derek Watson will the back-up. Both Summers and Cornish are out(injuries).Rob Cote and Teyo Johnson will be the fullback.

OL: Last week we missed Pilon and Newman. This week Centre Rob Lazeo is out due to elbow injury. U of C grad Tim O'Neill will replace him on C. Antonio Hall were released in order to bring Pilon back

RECEIVERS: Rambo is back! With him and Titus Ryan on wide, i can see Lewis and Copeland getting some openings. Of course we still have Ralph and Thelwell.

DL: Stamps are reshuffling this line. Rookie speedster Odell Willis will line up on the outside and Labinjo will go inside.

LB: We'll see how Tray Blackmon responds after last week's bad defensive game overall. He was one of the bright spot on defense last week though.

DB: Brandon Smith is still out on injuries, so as JR Ruffin. Will Wpg QB go after the two rookies again (Amadi and Tate)

SPECIAL TEAM: Awesome run by Titus Ryan against the Als for a Punt Return TD. This group actually were the positive from last week. Most of their points came because of the Special Team turnover. 2 block punts (Lysack and Tristan Black). With another deep return threat in Ryan, at least we didn't have to rely on Marcus Howell on Punt Return much anymore.

Let the game begins!
