My, oh my! How the mighty BUrris and his offense are struggling for the past 4 games already. We are not sure exactly what is going wrong with the offense and i am sure it is still puzzling to those people involved. As far as what I noticed in the past few games, it looks like Burris are having problem executing the play. He was either overthrowing or underthrowing the receivers. He is not running as much... forward I mean and we don't see a lot of fake handouts to Joffrey in the past 2 games. It looks like Burris is playing scared for some reason. Henry "Hank" Burris loves to run the ball forward whenever he sees something open. Henry "Frank" Burris just wants to stay in the pocket and whenever he has to run, he has to run backward trying to avoid the sack.

Some receivers are not helping either as they just tend to drop the ball or just give up on the ball. Some people are saying Burris is missing Rambo and Thelwell but I am not sure if that's an excuse anymore as the new guys been playing for a few weeks now. I think we definitely miss the blocking of Guard Jesse Newman. Tim O'Neill did a good job filling in for both Lazeo as centre and Newman as guard but he too went down last game. That means we see more of Godfrey Ellis. Ellis struggled all game vs Montreal.

Can the offense wake up against the Riders?

OFFENSE: Another bad game for Henry Burris vs the Als. It was mostly negatives for the offense last week except for Romby Bryant. He seems to start connecting with Burris and that's a good sign.

Reynolds didn't touch a lot of balls last game because Calgary were down early. The only positive thing for the Stamps in the past few games didn't get much chance to help out offensively.

DEFENSE: The defense tried so hard to help the Stamps win the game again but the Als offense are just too much. They were on the field way too much and it showed especially late in the first half and most of the second half. The Als offense gained so much yardage in both rushing and passing because they took advantage of the tired Stamps defense.

SPECIAL TEAM: Even the special teams were awful last game except for deAngelis who managed to score all of Stamps' points in the last few games already.

-------

The Stamps and the Riders are fighting for first place position on this game. Burris need to step up and play a lot better. The receivers has to try to get open and come back to the ball if necessary. Reynolds has to stay active all game meaning Stamps have to make him run the ball a lot earlier.

I might be going to the game courtesy of Joffrey Reynolds. He handed in 2 game tickets to my brother today for tomorrow's game.

GO STAMPS GO!!

More updates before game time.
