ROSTER UPDATE:

Looks like R Ryan Thelwell is not playing today and DL Miguel Robede is a healthy scratch. Whatever happen to this guy. He played so well last season rotating on the DLine. This season, he's been scratch twice already. Calgarian R Blaine Kruger will replace Thelwell on the roster. As a side note, these would mark the 3rd father and son combo who suited up for the Stamps. Wayne Harris Sr./JR and Hal/Tom Krebs are the others.
Also Stamps are dressing up DB John Eubanks to replace Miguel Robede on the roster.

The Bombers will be playing without LB Sideeq Shabazz. As we all know Shabazz played exceptionally well against the Stamps on their first game against each other this season. He also got that INT TD late in the game.

NOTES:
Henry Burris is only 504 yards back of Flutie's Stamps all time passing yardage. Nik Lewis needs 39 receiving yards to reach 6,000 in his career and need 2 catches to hit 400 catches.

IN ORDER FOR STAMPS TO WIN:
Offense need to start fast. No more 2 and out in their first 4 possessions. Burris has to be in sync with his receivers fast. I think in order to do that, he'll need to start passing the ball to his slotback Lewis and Copeland. Burris can also make Reynolds involved a lot early in the game either by running the ball and doing short passes to him. Then when it works, the Stamps will confuse the Bombers' defense so there goes long passes to the wide receivers like Jackson, Ralph, Kruger and Ryan. Also, i am wondering how come the Stamps are not using Teyo Johnson as much this season. He can help as a blocker, slotback and once in awhile as a wide receiver. He is big and fast as well.
Another way for the Stamps to win is to stay AWAY from penalties(especially unnecessary ones). Our OLine have been playing well lately so I am hoping Burris and company will take advantage of it.
On Defense, Stamps need to pressure Bishop a lot more. I am hoping Malik Jackson is back to complement Odell Willis speed on the outside. With those guys speed, it will distract the Bombers OLine hence they will pay attention to the outside that will give the inside guys Johnson and Labinjo more one-on-one. Our DBs has to step up a little on this game and so as the LBs. Last game vs the Riders Wes Cates had a lot of room to run. Our LBs played so-so especially against the run. DBs also played so-so last game leaving some of the Riders receivers open especially that little runt Dressler and Chris Getzlaf.

To summarize, start fast, short yadage pass, mix up plays(run/pass), use the veteran receivers more (Lewis,Copeland and RB Reynolds). Defense needs more pressures on Bishop and DB and LB needs to play tight defense. Oh, avoid penalties.

I don't see how Winnipeg Blue Bombers beating the Stamps on this game. 7:30pm start at McMahon Stadium. It is on TSN (subject to blackouts). In other words, we might not see the game on TV tonight because I don't think this game is going to be a sellout.

GO STAMPS GO!!
