2nd last game of the regular season. Calgary already clinched 1st place in the West and will have a bye in the first round. Hamilton is in 2nd place and ahead of Toronto. They are still fighting Toronto for the home advantage in the playoff.

For the Stamps, it is mostly individual stats that they are trying to take care of. With Receiver Nik Lewis already surpassed over 1,000 yards, the other 2 receivers Romby Bryant just needs 23 yards and Ken-Yon Rambo 32 yards to get to 1,000 yards receiving. The Stamps are trying to have 3 x 1,000 yarders receivers and 3 x 500 yarders rushers (Reynolds 1,111 yards, Cornish 571 and Burris is getting close with 470 yards). According to the Herald no team in the CFL ever accomplish that feat.

I am a little disappointed with what I read at the Herald yesterday regarding Deon Murphy's interview. I am not sure if Murphy really said or the reporter just kind of add some stuff. Murphy mentioned that every return he makes, he try to go towrads the sidelines more than going in the middle of the field to gain some yards. His reasoning was he has to take care of his body meaning 'I don't want to get crunched out there returning the punt or kickoff'. For a rookie to say this is kind of disturbing. Now I know why our Special Team is the weakest link in this team. I bet the special team cover team feels the same way too. In tonight's game, Deon Murphy will sit out and Landan Talley will replace him on the roster. I wouldn't be surprise if we start seeing Lumsden returning punts and kickoffs as well sooner than we think.

I am sure Hufnagel will start resting some of the starters in the last two games. We might just see Burris play less in this game then play probably half a game in the last game.

Game at McMahon Stadium and it starts at 8pm.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
