Game 11: Battle of alberta - rematch
Calgary Stampeders at Edmonton Eskimos
Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium
Saturday, Sept. 9
Kickoff: 7 p.m. MDT
TV: TSN, ESPN3
Stampeders won the first part of LDC Battle of Alberta in Calgary on Monday 39-18 but I am sure it is going to be a different ballgame tonight with Eskimos playing at home.
OFFENSE:
The last 4 head-to-head games with Edmonton, Bo Levi Mitchell has thrown for 1,225 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. Davaris Daniels played well again last game and hopefully he consistently play well the remaining season. I was impressed with the way Canadian RB Anthony Woodson played on some his touches. There is a potential that he can help the offense especially on the ratio. Stamps can also use him more rather than using Roy Finch on a double duty much. OL Shane Bergman is back in the active roster tonight.
DEFENSE:
One of the best game defense played this season. The DBs played very well and did not give Reilly a lot of look deep. They pretty much shut down Bowman and Zylstra all game. They will thave to play better tonight after Eskimos adding their top receiver from last season Walker for this game.
MLB Alex Singeton had a career-best 13 takedowns in Labour Day game's win and that earned him CFL player-of-the-week honours along with teammate Shaquille Richardson for his performance which included two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Actually before the game, Shaq were challenging the QBs to throw the ball through him. I guess he was right.
Charleston "Sackmaster" Hughes is set to be back tonight. Hughes is actually tied for 2nd spot for the most QB sack this season with 6. Not bad considering he missed a few games already. The leader in that group are both injured and both Argo players Victor Butler and Shawn Lemon with 7 a piece.
SPECIAL TEAM:
Roy Finch is becoming to be the most exciting returner in the CFL. It seems like every time he does the return, he makes things happen. Special team coverage has been playing well of late.
********************************************
Hopefully they keep n harassing Reilly again tonight and not give him a lot of looks especially with Walker back.
GO STAMPS GO!!!
