GAME 18: STAMPEDERS at Montreal
Game Time: Sunday, October 30th @ 11am
Percival Molson Memorial Stadium
Televised on: TSN, ESPN3
Last game of the regular season for the Calgary Stampeders(15-1-1) and it is going to be a meaningless game again. Alouettes are already eliminated from the playoff berth and Stamps already clinched first place in the West. The only meaningful about this game is Stampeders can claim the best record in the CFL history, one point better than the 1989 Edmonton Eskimos(32 points).
OFFENSE:
I really think this is the best call by Dickenson naming Drew Tate as a starting QB for tomorrow's game. Tate hasn't start a game for a very long time and he only played a few games in relief this season. Yes he might be rusty but I feel much better seeing Bo Levi Mitchell on the bench especially against the Montreal defense who happens to have one of the dirtiest player in the CFL in Kyries Hebert. As we all know Hebert is the one who injured Jon Cornish with his horse collar tackle.
RB Jerome Messam named one of the CFL top performer for the 2nd time this season. Messam rushed 10 times last week for 111 yards against Toronto Argonauts. R Davaris Daniels scored a couple of TDs last week vs Argos and he ended up with 3 catches for 94 yards. Another young receiver Kamar Jorden also had a good game with 5 catches for 53 yards while Lamar Durant caught 5 passes for 24 yards.
Calgary offensive line did not allow any QB sack last week but they gave 4 sacks from Montreal defense a couple of weeks ago. I am sure OLine group are thinking about it and will try to shut down the Als D and give Drew Tate lots of time to throw the ball.
DEFENSE:
CB Tommie Campbell and Ciante Evans shuts down the Argos WR last week. Both cornerbacks picked 1 interception each. Campbell led the team with 7 tackles followed by Evans and MLB Alex Singleton with 4 tackles each. DE Charleston Hughes was the only one who got through QB Ricky Ray.
SPECIAL TEAM:
Stamps definitely missed returner Roy Finch the last two games. His replacement Jamal did not really impressed the team. Finch will be back tomorrow but chances are he won't be playing in every return.
Kicker Rene Paredes went for a perfect 3 for 3 again last week.
************************************************** **
INS and OUTS:
IN: OL Shane Bergman, RB/Returner Roy Finch, DE Frank Beltre, DB Matt Bucknor and DT Micah Johnson are all playing tomorrow.
OUT: OL Pierre Lavertu, R/Returner Jamal Nixon, LB Maleki Harris, DB Shaquille Richardson and DT Quinn Smith won't be playing.
GO STAMPS GO!!!!
