I cannot remember the last time the Stamps played on a Monday night on a non-holiday Monday. This is the third game that Toronto Argonauts is going to play on the road early this season. Argos played their first game in Fort McMurray as a home team versus the Eskimos and won the game. Last week they won in an exciting double OT in Saskatchewan. Toronto is now 2-0 while Stamps after the lost vs Montreal is 1-1. Stamps is still tied for first place in the West though.

OFFENSE:

QB Bo Levi Mitchell is having a slow start so far. Even though the Stamps lost last game Mitchell did not throw any interception last week against Montreal. SB Marquay McDaniel was the best receiver last week catching 6 passes for 113 yards and most of those catches are late in the game when Stamps needed some sparks on offense. R Jeff Fuller missed the game last week after an outstanding game in Game 1. It looks like he'll be in the lineup on Monday night. WR Joe West and WR Simon Charbonneau-Campeau caught 3 passes each while WR Eric Rogers caught 2 and Parker 4 times. Eric Rogers got hurt during the Montreal game and might be questionable for the game on Monday night.
Stamps OLine I think has been struggling early in this season, They had a hard time stopping the Alouettes defense last week and they were just good for the win on the first game against Hamilton. They definitely misses Brett Jones(gone to NY Giants) and Stanley Bryant especially. Edwin Harrison who replaced Bryant this season been struggling. With the OLine struggling, both Mitchell and RB Jon Cornish struggled as well. I am sure OLine will get better on Monday night now that the whole group played a couple games together already.

DEFENSE:

Last week's game must be one of the worst game defense ever played for a long time. Defense could not contain a rookie QB Cato who were playing his 1st professional football game. Cato just shredded the defense and looks like he had all the time in the world to throw the ball. Stamps D need to better this time with MLB Juwan Simpson coming back after missing the game last week. Unfortunately DE Charleston Hughes might miss the game as he left in the 2nd half last week due to injury. I am hoping to see DE Brandon Boudreaux in the lineup.

SPECIAL TEAM:

Coverage team has been bad in the first two games. They gave up a TD on punt return vs Hamilton(Brandon Banks) and almost gave up a couple of punt return by Stefan Logan last week. The only reason Logan did not scored a couple of TD return was because punter Rob Maver. Return game is just okay but Tim Brown needs to get better.

OPPONENT:

Ricky Ray who?? Pretty impressive starts by QB Trevor Harris so far early this season. He's been playing like a veteran QB so far especially late in the game in Saskatchewan where they came back to tie the game with over a minute left in the game. He also looked poised in double OT. It looks like Andre Durie will be gone for the season due to injury.

************************************************** **
Hopefully after that spanking last week, Stamps plays much better. Another rookie QB, I am hoping the Stubler's defense pressure the QB a lot more and not just rely on their DBs to make the play. Offense also need to get Jon Cornish going to alleviate some pressure on BLM a little bit.

GAME TIME: Monday, July 13th starting at 7pm MDT
McMahon Stadium
TELEVISED: TSN and ESPN3 will also televised the game in the US.

GO STAMPS GO!!!!
