Default Winnipeg Blue Bombers at STAMPEDERS

Total domination last game vs the Riders. Defense pressured Darian Durant all night and the offense played well the whole night except for the 2nd quarter. Will the Stamps do a repeat against the Bombers.

Blue Bombers will have QB Steven Jyles at the helm again vs the Stamps. Jyles played a heck of a game as well on their last game vs the Eskimos that some of the media were asking if Buck Pierce can still take his spot especially if Jyles plays well vs the Stamps. It's only one game and now they have to face a better team and a better defense so I think Jyles will be in for a shock. I got the feeling that the Bombers will try to deploy RB Fred Reid a lot.QUARTERBACK: Henry Burris had a shaky 2nd quarter but he sure bounced back in the 2nd half. Burris threw 2 INT last game, one was because of the communication problem between himself and Romby Bryant and the other might be his fault.

RUNNING BACK: THat was an awesome RB tandem between Reynolds and Cornish. When Sask LB figured out Reynolds' style, the Stamps coaching staff tried something and they were successful. They mixed up the running plays with the power runner Reynolds plays series, then they throw a more finesse running of Cornish. The Riders defense didn't know what hit them so at the end, Reynolds and Cornish had success running against the defense.


OFFENSIVE LINE:
I thought the OLine played their best game this season so far. Riders' defense was a non-factor and we didn't see a lot of pressure on Burris. I am hoping for a repeat vs the Bombers.

RECEIVERS: Romby Bryant didn't have a good quarter in the 2nd quarter. Kudos for him in making some huge adjustment in the 2nd half. We rarely see Burris throw the ball to Nik Lewis but when he does, Lewis make the most of it. PK Sam will be doubtful Saturday but this might be the game Ken-Yon Rambo will be coming back. Deon Murphy is becoming a threat on offense as well. Romby Bryant is this week's winner of the offensive player of the week.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN:
This is probably the best our DLine played so far this season. Durant got chased a lot and he ended up throwing 3 INT because of the DLine's pressure. Durant probably had a nightmare that night seeing Tom Johnson on his dream all night.

LINEBACKING:
MLB Juwan Simpson played really well. The guy was flying all night so it is so hard not to notice the guy. Keon Raymond had one INT. Overall, the whole LB and DLine just kept on pressuring Durant all night.

DEFENSIVE BACKS:
Last season not a lot of QB try to throw the ball on Browner's side. So far this season, Lemon of TO and Durant threw balls against him. I guess there was a reason why last QB don't even try against him. He proved it again that it is not easy to beat him. One thing for sure, Browner will not tackle the receiver, he'll try hitting them hard. Milton Colins had a good game as well and even had an INT. I really like the energetic Isaac. He is not afraid to go after the receivers.

SPECIAL TEAM:
Neon Deon Murphy started off with a great return on the kickoff. Almost went all the way. Even though his punt return was not even close to the kickoff return yardage, it just nice to see that we finally have a legit punt returner. Stamps don't have to rely on the NO YARDS penalty in order to get more yardage on punt return. I am just glad we didn't have to see Howell returning punts anymore for this team. Our special team's blocker and stopper had a great game compare to the previous few games. Punter Burke Dales showed he is one of the best punter in the league. Rob Mavis is making us forget that little Sandro guy.

THE OPPOSITION:
The Blue Bombers just embarrassed the Eskimos last Saturday. In the first quarter, their defense dominated and did not allow Ricky Ray to use his magic. They ended up chasing Ricky Ray out of the game in the 2nd half. QB Steven Jyles played his first game this season replacing the injured Buck Pierce had a good game as well. He can throw and he can run. Sorry Jyles, meet the Stamps defense(Tom Johnson, Charleston Hughes and others). Prepare for a long night.More update before Game Time on Saturday, July 31st at McMahon Stadium. The game will be on TSN (Subject for blackout). Not sure if they will sell out just like last week. So, at this time it is 50-50 that we might see the game on TV.


GO STAMPS GO!!
