2013 Stampeders Season

[Drake]

The Calgary Stampeders have first-hand knowledge of the carnage Greg Carr can inflict on a defensive secondary.

After all, the sky-scraping receiver caught two touchdowns — including one that shaped up as the game-winner for the Saskatchewan Roughriders with just 52 seconds on the clock — in the 2012 West Division semifinal.

Only a 68-yard touchdown bomb to Romby Bryant — unleashed by Drew Tate with 20 seconds remaining — allowed the Stampeders to advance with a 36-30 victory at McMahon Stadium.

Some eight months after the heartbreak, Carr is switching sides in one of the Canadian Football League’s fiercest rivalries.

The 27-year-old former Winnipeg Blue Bomber/Eskimo/Roughrider is expected to report this morning to McMahon for his first day of work on the Calgary practice roster.

The Riders released Carr last week in anticipation of the return of the talented (and moderately expensive) Geroy Simon to the lineup and to make way for newcomers like Eron Riley.

hmmm...do they have an extra space on the PR or do they have to release someone? I like our current group of receivers.

Tate has a strained right forearm and status is uncertain for Friday

Per Stampeders.com:

The Stampeders also announce that import offensive lineman Na’Shan Goddard has been released from the practice roster.

Well it looks Federkeil made Na'Shan Godard expendable. I actually love the OLine plays especially with the run play.

[tvp2003]

Glenn to start on Friday. I think the longer Tate is gone, the more likely we see BLM getting practice reps and game snaps.

I think I'm doing Buck Pierce a disservice by calling Tate, Buck Pierce II. At least Buck gets destroyed when he gets hurt. Tate kind of just falls over

[Spinoff90]

Delitate seems like a fitting nickname at this point. What a letdown.

Ian Busby‏@buzrbe34s
Brad Sinopoli listed as starter for Stamps against Alouettes Friday night. First game as a receiver and he replaces Maurice Price #cfl

Good luck, kid!

Price isnt listed as injured anywhere that i can find....so it better be a ratio thing.

Thats an understatement.

I guess McCartney slots in and activate someone off the practice squad then?

[Roof-Daddy]

Man it would be nice if one of the sports teams I follow could go without serious injuries to key personnel for more than a couple games here and there.

[PeteLFan]

Last few years we have been destroyed by injuries.

Deron Mayo will start i hope then Jonathan Hefney will be back in the lineup. He was a healthy scratch last night.

Rene Paredes was Special Teams Player of the Week:

Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes was named the Special Teams Player of the Week following his perfect outing aganst the Alouettes. The Concordia product went five-for-five on field goals and added a convert in the Stampeders 22-14 win over the Alouettes.

After three weeks into the season, Paredes currently leads the league in kicking points with 30.

Well deserved. He's now just five FGs short of tying the longest consecutive streak in league history.
