Lots of time to go though and the Stamps could get it back together.

I am still not convince that Armour is as good as what others think. He is overrated linebacker. From what I've seen last season, most of the games he wasn't visible and when he was it was because he missed an easy tackle. I think he is just an average player. The Stamps actually missed the 3 defensive linemen they had last season. Charleston Hughes. He is a big complement of Labinjo. Eddie Freeman were pretty good stopping the run and Howard Hodges. Hodges is not a starter but he is a good relief player.
I am a bit surprised on the BC Lions. I thought they will be okay without Cam Wake but more surprising though was their lack of offense this season. They probably have the best 1-2 QB tandem in the CFL but the supporting cast were not playing the way they supposed to. I am not complaining though. The more BC Lions struggle the better for us.
My #1 surprise so far is the Hamilton Tigercats. I know it is early but finally this guys are playing as a team. Their QB is not flashy and no more relying on Jesse Lumsden too much. Their OLines are a lot better this season though.
