Calgary Stampeders will be playing their 2nd game in 5 days today at McMahon Stadium against Stanley Bryant, Lin J-Shell and the Blue Bombers.

Game Time today(Saturday, July 18) at 5:00pm at McMahon Stadium
Televised on TSN and ESPN3

Both teams have 2-1 record so far this season. Winnipeg is the first Western team Calgary is playing early this season. Stampeders committed way too many penalties last game against the Argonauts and I hope they will cut it down as season goes on.

OFFENSE:

Calgary's offense finally started clicking last game. QB Bo Levi Mitchell did not throw any interception for the second game in a row after committing 3 of them on the first game. He threw 34 times and connected 25 times for 303 yards and 2 TD passes. RB Jon Cornish on his assessment needs to starts gaining some yardages. He's off to a slow start rushing for less than 100 yards each game in the first 3 games. WR Eric Rogers is continuing to impress Stampeders fans with his 6 receptions for 114 yards and 1 TD.
The biggest news last game was the Offensive Line. Stampeders lost both LT Edwin Harrison and RT Dan Federkeil to injury. Both linemen will not play today. Due to the shortage of OLinemen, Stamps were forced to insert DT Quinn Smith to OLine and he did an outstanding job filling in. In today's game, International and former NFL Garry Williams will be playing as left tackle, while Spencer Wilson will slide in to right tackle and Brad Erdos starts at right guard backing up by rookie Karl Lavoie(Calgary 1st pick in 2015). R Lemar Durant, another Stamps 2015 draft pick in 2015 will be backing up on SB position.

DEFENSE:

Stamps defense played their best game so far early in this season last game. Argos QB Trevor Harris did not have his best game because defense were all over him and Argos receivers. LB Deron Mayo had 4 tackles vs Toronto and he was tied with DB Brandon Smith for the most tackle last game.
According to the lineup, DE Brandon Bodreaux will not be in the lineup and National Shomari Williams will be in.

SPECIAL TEAM:

Special Team played so much better last game than the first two games. Tim Brown is starting to find the opening and blocking was much better. ST coverage was also better shutting down Chad Owens last game.

************************************************** *****

Not sure how is this 4 days rest going to affect the Stampeders but I am sure it won't be a real factor. I am hoping they will cut down on the penalties especially the bad ones in this game. Looking forward to the game tonight and it looks like we might have a nice weather.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
