Game Time: Saturday, August 22nd at 5:00pm (Mosaic Stadium)
TV: TSN, ESPN3(across the US)

It is always a pleasures to see the Riders struggles and I would be very happy to see the Stampeders give the Riders the 0-8 record after this game.

Stampeders are in 2 games winning streak and they also won 4 straight games against the Riders dating back to 2013. At Mosaic, Stamps won 5 games out of 8 games over in 5 seasons. Riders' record this season is actually very deceiving. They are a good team losing 6 games in a close games and still have one of the best offense in the league. Problem is they are playing the rookie QB Brett Smith so they can't really take advantage of their offensive skills led by receivers Weston Dressler, Chris Getzlaf and Jerome Messam. It is their defense that are struggling plus they tend to have discipline problems with so many unnecessary penalties. I don't think the Stamps will be taking them lightly though. At least I am hoping especially playing against a rookie QB, they tend to take them lightly and not pressure them enough.

OFFENSE:

QB Bo Levi Mitchell is starting to pick his game. He was averaging 296.6 yards passing, 5 passing TDs and 0 interception in the past 3 games. Last game against Ottawa, he threw for 243 yards, threw 2 TD passes and rushed for 2 TDs. WR Eric Rogers seems to be Bo's favorite target and you can't blame Bo on that as Rogers been awesome ever since he joined the Stampeders late last season. Rogers caught 5 passes for 92 yards and 1 TD last game. OL Shane Bergman will miss the game due to a minor injury and he will be replaced by International OL John Estes. Estes can play all positions in Offensive Line so I think it a bonus to have him.

DEFENSE:

Last game was the best defense we ever seen this season. They pressured Henry Burris all night and continued even with Burris was replaced by DeMarco. DT Junior Turner been having a great season so far. Last game he had 3 tackles, 1 QB sack and 1 knockdown. LB Deron Mayo was also good this season so far. He had 4 tackles, 1 special team tackle and 1 QB sack last game vs the Redblacks. LB Maleki Harris, a rookie from Southern Alabama will be dressing in his first game as a Stampeders. He'll be backing up the MLB Juwan Simpson and Deron Mayo. I hope the defense will play the same stingy defense as last game and pressure the rookie Brett Smith all night long.

SPECIAL TEAM:

What can we say about Punter Rob Maver? He is the probably the best directional punter in the CFL. All season long he's been pinning the opponent in 5 yards or less. Maver is averaging 45.6 yards and he had 2 punts out at 1 yard line last game against Ottawa. Special Team coverage were also awesome last game and I hope it continues. Only negative so far this season is the return team. Tim Brown who missed some practice this week have some good return only to be nullified because of the holding or illegal block penalties. I still can't wait to see Tim Brown go all the way and score a TD return.

INS and OUTS:

IN: #32 DB Tevaughn Campbell (draft pick 2015), #47 ST/LB Corbin Sharun (former top Eskimos Special Teamers), #51 LB Maleki Harris, #66 OL John Estes (Univ of Hawaii) and #98 DE Brandon Boudreaux.

OUT: #36 LB Glenn Love(injured), #44 DT Ben D'Aguilar(injured), #60 OL Shane Bergman(minor injury), #95 DE Freddie Bishop III (injured) and LB Jasper Simmons(released).
