WEEK 16: STAMPS at Winnipeg
Stampeders (8-6) lost to BC Lions last week while the Blue Bombers(4-10) led by QB Joey Elliot had an upset win over Montreal Alouettes. Joey Elliot will start again vs the Stampeders on Week 16.
OFFENSE:
Calgary offense was not good last week especially in the 1st half when they wasted a couple of chances in scoring TD. They only 16 first downs in the loss.
RB Jon Cornish ran for 61 yards for the game and still leads the CFL in rushing with 1,188 yards and 9 TD.
QB Kevin Glenn had an off day passing for 242 yards, one TD and 2 INT. Another game where he threw more INT than TD.
R Nik Lewis once again surpassed the 1,000 yards plateau for the 9th season, a club record. He had 6 receptions for 77 yards against the BC Lions.
R Johnny Forzani and Romby Bryant both had 4 receptions. Bryant caught the only TD pass from Kevin Glenn.
DEFENSE:
Calgary defense held the Lions to totals of 388 yards of offense. They spent more time on the field than the Calgary offense.
LB Malik Jackson led the team in tackles last week with 7 while MLB Juwan Simpson was next with 6. Simpson also collected his 2nd QB sack of the season.
DE Charleston Hughes was his usual active self with 4 stops, a pass knockdown and league leading 5th forced fumble of the season. DB Brandon Smith returned that fumble for a TD.
DE Anwar Stewart will be in the lineup after signing last week. He will definitely help Hughes who's been double-team every game.
I just heard the Stamps will be putting Keon Raymond as an LB and Brooks will replace him on his spot while Quincy Butler will be replacing Wall on the roster.
SPECIAL TEAM:
K Rene Paredes went 3 for 3 in field goal attempts against the Lions.
Returner Jason Armstead totalled 108 yards on kick returns including a long punt return of 33 yards last game.
GAME TIME: 11:00am MDT at Winnipeg's Canad Inns Stadium
The game will be seen on TSN and webcast on ESPN3.
GO STAMPS GO!!!
