Default Game 4: STAMPS at Winnipeg

Game time: Thursday, July 21st @ 6:30pm Investor Group
Televised" TSN, ESPN3

Stampeders(1-1-1) are coming to play after a bye last week. They haven't lost a game following a bye since 2005. Stampeders are also 4-0 playing Winnipeg Blue Bombers ay Investor Group. So it is looking good so far. Winnipeg offense has been struggling and QB Drew Willy was nowhere close to when he started playing for the Blue Bombers. Stegall even mentioned that Mike O'Shea and GM Walters might be in trouble soon if their offense keeps on struggling and they keep on losing.

OFFENSE:
Bo Levi Mitchell attempted 43 passes last game against Ottawa and completed 29 of them for 368 yards. His favorite target was R Joe West who caught 6 passes for 99 yards will not be playing on Thursday due to ankle injury. Stamps are thinking of putting either Davaris Daniels or Greg Wilson on West spot. Marquay McDaniel is starting to pick a pace again towards another 1000 yards season by catching 6 passes for 70 yards while it looks like Bakari Grant will play over Kamar Jorden again this week after his performance last game. He caught the ball 5 times for 89 yards. RB Jerome Messam had a decent game but I think he needed to rush the ball more to be more effective in the game. Last game vs Ottawa, he rushed 8 times for 32 yards and he caught 4 passes for 24 yards and 1 TD.
It is looking like C Pierre Lavertu will be coming in the lineup after sitting out 3 games due to injury. Cam Thorn been playing on his spot while Lavertu was recovering.

DEFENSE:
Stamps defense was not very good last game especially against the run. Not so sure about MLB Taylor Reid play though. He looks like the weakest link in the LB group. Once he went down with injury, Alex Singleton did a way better job as the MLB. He recorded 6 tackles and was very active. Only mistakes he made was the roughing the passer penalty after Charleston Hughes made a sack on Harris. Sackmaster Hughes recorded a couple of QB sacks and 1 forced fumble. Interior Defensive Line are dropping like flies especially the Canadian content. Junior Turner hasn't played a game this season yet due to injury is questionable for Thursday game. There is a good possibility he will suit up. Quinn Smith who went down in the 2nd game will not play. Derek Wiggan who went down with injury last game will also miss the game. American DT Micah Johnson is questionable this week due to stomach flu. This guy need to watch what he is eating as this is the second time this season he had a stomach flu.

SPECIAL TEAM:
Kicker Rene Paredes is struggling but he is getting better. He was 4 for 5 against Ottawa. I can't wait for Returner Roy Finch to go all the way soon. This guy looks like an exciting returner and had some slick move. He had 3 kickoff return for 67 yards, 1 return on a Missed Field Goal for 21 yards and returned 3 punts for 48 yards.

GO STAMPS GO!!!! .
