Default GAME 8 : STAMPEDERS at Ottawa

I can't believed it's been 9 years since the Stampeders play a CFL game in Ottawa. Back then Ottawa Renegades was a terrible team but I believed they gave the Stamps a hard time on their last game. This season Ottawa, an expansion team is also a terrible team so here is another trap game for the Stamps. Hopefully they won't take this team lightly.

OFFENSE :

QB Bo Levi Mitchell won the game vs Ottawa this season completing 26 passes on 36 attempts for 289 yards with 3 TDs. His favorite target that game was receiver Marquay McDaniel who caught 9 passes for 117 yards and 1 TD. It looks like Canadian RBs Jon Cornish and Matt Walter are going back in the lineup this Sunday. They both practiced this week and didn't feel any headaches after. No word on whether RB Jock Sanders will be back in the lineup yet so it looks like RB Hugh Charles will be back for another game backing up Cornish. Expect R Jeff Fuller to miss a month after injuring his shoulder last game. With Fuller out, is this mean Nik Lewis is back in the lineup?
Calgary offense still leads the CFL in points per game and they are 2nd best in TD scored.

DEFENSE :

Calgary defense are the best in the CFL in giving up the least points per game. DB Jamar Wall is playing his best football lately with an INT late in the game to seal the win for Stampeders vs Hamilton. Against Ottawa this season he picked off one of Henry Burris pass and also had 1 pass knockdown with 3 tackles. DB Brandon Smith leads the defense in tackling the last time they played Ottawa.
DLine is hurting a bit. Both interior DLine Micah Johnson and Corey Mace are hurting and will miss the game. DT Demonte Bolden will be back in the lineup to replace Johnson while Junior Turner and rookie Quinn Smith will be alternating to play on Mace's position.

SPECIAL TEAM :

Returner Segerick Cunningham did an excellent job in replacing the injured Jock Sanders last game. I am hoping he'll play again this weekend returning punts or kickoff. Kicker Rene Paredes is starting to get hot again. He was 3 for 3 last game.
