Bad news, DL Mike Labinjo and C Rob Lazeo will be out for this game. Also, R Blaine Kruger and DB John Eubanks are out.

As for the Eskimos, LB Maurice Llyod, DT Eric Taylor and DB Lenny Williams won't play.

Notable:
Henry Burris needs to pass for 239 yards to take over top spot of Stamps' all-time passing yardage. Flutie is currently #1 with 20,551 yards.

Jermaine Copeland leads the league in receiving TD with 4.
Stamps DB Dwight Anderson been having quite a good season so far but the negative part was he is also been penalized a lot.

Eskimos have the worst rushing attack in the CFL. Unfortunately the Stamps also have the worst rushing defense in the league.

The Stamps and the Eskimos are playing the next 3 out 4 consecutive games starting tonight. Both teams have the bye week after this game, then Calgary plays Toronto and the back-to-back Labour Day weekend game.

--- Stamps need to play the full 60 minutes against the Eskimos or any other teams. THey need to get Reynolds and Cornish involved early in the game and also not forget about them later in the game. With Labinjo out, someone has to step in rushing the QB inside. I believe Odell Willis will play on Labinjo's spot meaning whoever plays the outside will keep on using their speed to pressure the QB a lot. MLB Trey Blackmon needs to step up his game and stop the Eskimos RB from gaining some yardages on the run.
Most important, AVOID the unneccessary penalties.

GO STAMPS GO!!

That is what I am looking for in this game, a full 60 minute effort. Labinjo not playing is a huge loss imo. Hopefully Phillips and co. can fill the hole.
