It was a nice win for the Stamps last week. Defense played well and they even scored 3 TDs. In the 2nd week, our Special Team were good, last week the Ds, will it be the Offense turn to shine against BC Lions? The offense did enough for the win last week. There was not a lot dropsies, fumbles and any bad stuff on the offensive side. DLines were awesome last game. Kerry Joseph was running for his life all night and became so frustrated. Malik Jackson and Odell Willis harrassed him all night with the help LB Dwayne Carpenter. Inside DL Tom Johnson were getting some openings because Labinjo were getting double or triple-teamed last week. LB played a heck of game lead by Carpenter. DBs played a lot better. The other team's QB are still going after rookie Amadi and Tate but Milton Collins seems to be there helping out all the time. Brandon Browner and Dwight Anderson had an awesome game as well. Actually the entire defense played awesome.
Offense did not have much time to be on the field because defense were scoring for them. Yes, the running plays were not a factor again due to Reynolds getting hurt, the same as Watson.
Quarterback: Better result for Hank last game. Not a lot of turnover. He played well whenever he's called upon. Nealy did not get to play last game.
STARTER: Burris BACKUP: Nealy and Tate.
Running Back: Joffrey Reynolds got hurt in the 2nd half but nobody seems to notice because he is a tough player. He didn't get to run a lot last game because coaches doesn't think it is a good idea to lose another RB. Backup Derek Watson got hurt early and might not play against BC Lions. Stamps expect to see Jon Cornish back against the Leos. He hasn't played this season so far due to injury he sustained in the pre-season. Summers, the other backup RB is still hurting therefore he might not play. injured.
STARTER: Reynolds, Johnson BACKUP: Cornish and Cote
---- With the injury to Joffrey, it makes me wonder if the running game will even exist in this game. Like I said Joffrey Reynolds is a tough man so I expect him to run the ball but not as much.
Offensive Linemen: First game last week that starting OLines played together this season. They were good and QB protection were a lot better. I can see the same thing on this game. No Cameron Wake on the other team, who cares?
STARTER: Pilon, Newman, Lazeo, Tsoumpas and Archibald.
BACKUP: O'Neill, Gott, Ellis
Receiver: Decent game for the entire receiving crew. Thelwell had a great game and so as Copeland. Nik Lewis is hurting and might be replace by Jermaine Jackson. Expect Lewis to be in a lineup still even though he is hurting. I think it Rambo's time to shine
STARTER: Lewis, Copeland, Ralph, Rambo
BACKUP: Thelwell, Johnson, Jackson.
Defensive Linemen: Looks like the DLine have the right group now. Outside chasing the QB are speedster Odell Willis and Malik Jackson. Heck of a game between these two. On the inside Tom Johnson and Labinjo. Labinjo is getting doubled or tripled team by the opposition's OLIne and RB. We might see the same thing against BC. Remember Labinjo were Superman against BC Lions last season. With ML getting doubled or triple coverage, watch for speedsters Willis and Jackson going after Pierce or Jackson. Looks like Miguel Robede is getting his chances again to play as both of our Canadian Dline in Kashama and Chevrier are hurt.
STARTER: Labinjo, Simpson, Willis, Jackson
BACKUP: Alain Kashama(injured), Robede, Phillips(injured), Fernand Kashama, Chevrier
Linebacking: Last week i post a question if misses Armour and Rasheed. I guess that question was answered last game. It is a big fat NO!! Linebacking crew along with the DL crew were flying last game. Carpenter and James had an excellent game.
STARTER: James, Carpenter and Blackmon
BACKUP: Black, Calixte, Grootegood, Raymond
Defensive Back: Our 2 rookies(Amadi and Tate) are still getting picked on but with the help of safety Milton Collins, the opposing QB were actually having some second guess. Browner were more aggressive out there and he even were aggressive stealing someone else beer.
He couldn't help himself with the brewsky after Anderson scored an INT TD. By the way, that was an expensive beer Brandon. He got fined by the league for excessive celebrations. Milton Collins (OUCH!!!). The guy made some thundering hit against Argos' receivers.
Special Team: This time I didn't really notice the Special Team but of course DeAngelis were awesome again. Special Team actually did not give Toronto any good field position. The best TO can get were 35 yards line.
Even though they are playing on the road at BC Place, I still think the Stampeders will win this game. I am hoping Buck Pierce will stay in the game because for some reason Jarious Jackson plays better in relief especially against the Stamps. Should we see a repeat of the Western Final last season?
GO STAMPS GO!!
