Default Western Final : Battle of Alberta

Battle of Alberta - Part 4 in 2014. Stampeders won all 3 games against the rival from the north Edmonton Eskimos. Stamps won 26 - 22 on Week #5, the only game QB Mike Reilly started against the Stamps this season. Reilly completed 19 passes on 34 attempts for 212 yards. I think Reilly stat and the score was deceiving because I believed this is the game where the Stamps dominated early in the game but they let the Eskimos come back late in the game. Stamps also defeated the Eskimos in a home and home Labour Day Classics series 28-13 at home on Labour Day and 41-34 in Edmonton.

Stampeders will be getting some of their key players back in the lineup. RB Jon Cornish, the leading rusher in the CFL will be back in the lineup. He rushed 34 times for 272 yards against the Eskies this season. WR Maurice Price will be also be back in the lineup after missing the last game against BC Lions. Rumour has it is rookie WR Eric Rogers who caught 2 TD passes against BC is going to dress for the game. Joe West sitting?? RB/Returner Jock Sanders will not play on Sunday due to an injury.

OFFENSE :

QB Bo Levi Mitchell had the best touchdown to interception ratio in the CFL. He threw ion 22 touchdown passes and only surrendered 8 interceptions. IN 2 games against the Stampeders, BLM was 46/82 for 592 yards with 2 TD. Stamps' passing is 7th best in the CFL and they will play against the top ranked pass defense. SB Marquay McDaniel was awesome last game against BC, his first game back after recovering from injury. He will need to repeat that performance on Sunday. McDaniel played all 3 games against the Eskies this season and he caught 10 passes for 184 yards and 1 TD. SB Nik Lewis is ging back in the loneup after sitting out the last game. He too will be count on for his leadership and performance on Sunday. Offensive Line will have a tough battle against the Eskimos DLine (Willis, Sewell and others). Stamps OLien proved over and over that they can play against even the toughest defense in the league. This game will not be any different I think.

DEFENSE :

DE Shawn Lemon recorded 8 tackles, 3 QB sacks and 2 forced fumbles in 3 games against the Eskimos. DE Charleston Hughes is still questionable and there is a possibility he won't play. He is a game day decision. There is a possibility that DB Brandon Smith might have the task of covering Bowman or Fred Stamps. Against the Eskimos this season, he recorded 17 tackles, 1 qb sack, 1 pass knockdown and one forced fumble. Our secondary need to stop Bowman and Stamps all game. MLB Juwan Simpson will have the task of limiting RB John White on Sunday.

SPECIAL TEAM :

Looks like Sederrick Cunningham will be in the lineup in place of Jock Sanders, who will sit due to injury. K Rene Paredes was perfect last game vs BC Lions and that should help him boost his confidence. Special team coverage have been playing well in the last few games and it needs to continue and stop Lawrence.

********************************************
Game Time : Sunday, November 23rd at 2:30pm at McMahon Stadium
Televised : TSN, ESPN3

According to weather forecast, we will have a nice weather on Sunday and it will be +1 and no snow.

I am so pumped for this game and I can't wait.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
