Default WEEK 17: BC Lions at STAMPEDERS

The last time these two teams played, the Lions embarrassed them. Stamps offense were brutal, special team coverage were awful and basically the Stamps just relied on their defense. Unfortunately the defense got tired. The Lions offense were actually not that good that night. Only reason they scored some points was because of Yonus Davis giving the Lions good field position. Hopefully we won't see any repeat of the game.

What happen when you make the running backs (Reynolds and Cornish) involve in the game? The other team start guessing whether the Stamps will run the ball, pass it or Burris running the ball. Joffrey silenced the crowds in Regina and he made the Minister of Defense Barrin Simpson look bad. Believe me if the coaching staff let Reynolds and Cornish gets involved early, the Stamps will clinch first place in the West tomorrow night.

Calgary really well in Saskatchewan last game and the game motivated them. I can see the Stamps going all over the Lions tomorrow. They just need to stay away from bad penalties. Defense lead by Brandon Browner had a heck of a game. BB actually shut down the Stamps' killer Andy Fantuz for no catch. Our special team finally played well on both running kicks/punts and the cover team did a heck of a job.

It looks like Mike Labinjo is gone for the season and probably won't be available for the playoffs. There is also a possibility that he played his last game as a Stamps vs Als on Thanksgiving. It is not because he is not a good player but it is because of his injury trouble and the play of Corey Mace, Miguel Robede. There is also a possibility that RB Jesse Lumsden might see some action but mostly in the special team.

Calgary will clinch the first place in the West meaning they will have a bye on the Semifinal game, and home field advantage in the Finals. I cannot wait to watch this game.

GO STAMPS GO!!
