Default WEEK 8: Toronto at STAMPEDERS

For some reason everytime the Stampeders play the Argos something strange happens. Not sure what the heck is going on but i hope this game will be different.

OFFENSE:

RB Jon Cornish finally had a breakout game last week against the Hamilton TigerCats. Cornish ran for 170 yards that earns him the Player of Week and Canadian Player of the Week on Week #7. Offensive Line played exceptionally well even without a few starters. I thought Spencer Wilson did well for his first ever start in the CFL. R Romby Bryant did not have any receptions but he scored a TD run in the game. R Nik Lewis who just signed a contract extension was as physical as ever flattening DL Greg Peach.
With so many OLine keeps going down, Stamps decided to sign a veteran OLine who can play centre as well in Obby Khan.

DEFENSE:

Defense forced 2 turnovers against the Ticats. DB Quincy Butler had 3 tackles and he intercepted 1 of Henry Burris' throw. Stampeders is 3rd in the CFL in INT with 6. No QB sack last game but they are still in 4th place in the league. I thought our defense did a good job shutting down Chris Williams.

SPECIAL TEAM:

Larry Taylor 172 yards in kick and punt return earned him the Special Team player of the week. P Rob Maver did well in directional punting.

OPPOSITION:

RB Cory Boyd is no longer an Argo. The leading rusher in the CFL was released this week for some reason. Some people were saying Boyd were released because he leaves Ricky Ray vulnerable because he can't block. We will see in the next few games if the Argos made a mistakes or made a good move.

Game starts at 5pm Saturday, August 18th from McMahon Stadium. It will be televised by TSN (subject to blackout). Fans in the US can see the game live via webcast ESPN3.

GO STAMPS GO!!!!
