ROSTER MOVES:

CALGARY: DLJim Davies and DL Alain Kashama are in to replace LB Tristan Black(ankle) and DB Branodn Browner(knee). Other injuries to report: OL Derek Armstrong(arm), R Jabari Arthur(foot), LB Trey Blackmon(ankle), DL Mike Labinjo(calf), C Rob Lazeo(knee), WR Ken-Yon Rambo(knee-out for the season), LB Lemarcus Rowell(knee), DB JR Ruffin(knee) and DB Brandon Smith(knee).

EDMONTON: OL John Comiskey, FB Mike Mauer and DL Eric Taylor are in; DB Jonte Buhl, OL Gord Hinse and DL Xzavie Jackson are out. Other injuries to report: DB Willie Amos(leg), DL Adam Braidwood(knee), DB Scott Gordon(leg), DB Lamar Herron(leg), OL Garrick Jones(shoulder), RB Jesse Lumsden(shoulder-out for the season) and OL Greg Wojt(knee)

NOTABLE: Today's sell-out crowd of 40,729 marks the 13th straight Labour Day sellout. The Stamps are racked the 2nd highest penalties in the CFL while the Eskimos are the least penalized team in the league.

In order for the Stamps to win: On defense, They must pressure Ricky Ray a lot and at the same time worry about stopping the Arkee Whitlock. Our run defense must improve from the last game this team faced the Eskimos. Stay away from the unneccessary penalties. Ronnie Amadi especially must play aggressive and try not to get beat too much by the Eskimos receivers. Tall order for DB Amadi and DB Keon Raymond as Ricky Ray will go after both of them a lot.

Offense: Mix up plays early. It seems that Henry Burris been cold early in the game almost every game so why not get Joffrey Reynolds involve in a lot of plays. Same as passing 5 yards or so to Lewis, Reynolds, Copeland and even Teyo Johnson and let them run around. When they succeed on those plays, Burris can start passing long balls to Ralph, Thelwell, Jackson and Ryan. Another thing Burris can do is QB sneak once in awhile. As we all know, Reynolds' success on the field early confuses opponents' defense.

Special Teams: The first few games in the season, our special team's coverage are one of the best in the league. But in the past few games, they are in the middle of the pack especially late in the game. They have a huge task this game in stopping 2 of the most dynamite returners in Tristan Jackson and Arkee Whitlock. We need a couple of guys who can go downfield right away and tackle the returner right away. Tackling is also the key. Last game against the Eskimos, special team's tackling were so bad. As for the returner, Titus Ryan is doing a good job but he needs some timely blocking in order to get more yardage. P Burke Dales should try to angle his punt more away from those two. I would take Dales' 40 yards angle punt away from Jackson or Whitlock than 50 yards punt to the hands of those two.

Game face on... I am so pumped!! GO STAMPS GO!!!!
