WEEK 10: Labour Day Classics Battle of Alberta version

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Looked like he was going for the field goal and hooked it. What a heavy leg he has. Last bits that I caught were pretty entertaining

[OzSome]

Pretty exciting but pretty annoying game to watch as well. On the first half, Stamps offense started off well scoring a TD then the offense abandoned the run and the defense were playing zone defense and getting beat a lot especially the DBs. DLine and LB crews were doing okay though.

On the second half, Stamps adjusted on both offense and defense. On offense, Cornish got involved a lot more and the defense started playing man-to-man. I guess the man-to-man defense kinds of confused Joseph a bit as he doesn't see a lot of openings. The stupid penalty parade and the ill-timed INT pass by Kevin Glenn almost cost us a game. There are a lot of positives on this game. Cornish with a huge block early in the game took over the rushing lead again after gaining over 90 yards. Matt Walter scoring his first TD run while Nik Lewis and Marquay McDaniel play was so much better than last week. DLine was pressuring Joseph all day while the OLine most especially the play of Spencer Wilson are very impressive. The negative side was Kevin Glenn's ill-timing INT pass and Eric Fraser's play. He seems so slow and from what i noticed he seems to be afraid of hitting someone. I cannot wait to see Demetrice Morley back and play safety. Or maybe give that kid Keenan MacDougall a chance to play once in awhile. Of course, the unnecessary penalties like taunting, late hit and face mask should be cut down.

As far as watching the game. It was so painful to listen to Cutthbert and Suitor all game long. It sounded like JC Sherritt and Sewell are the only two players playing in this game. When Sherritt gets the tackle, they couldn't stop talking about him. When Cornish made him look like a fool on Cornish TD, they stopped talking about him and no mentioned how great a move Cornish made on him. Could someone ask those fools who won the battle between Cornish and Sherritt today?

A win is a win no matter how ugly they got the win.

Take Glenn out of the game and it is likely a blow out for the Stamps.

I guess we are getting some wins thanks to Cornish, Taylor and the D but what does Glenn need to do to lose his job? Or at least a series or two.

We have seen him try and throw his job away and yet still Huff keeps trotting him out there to toss those wounded ducks week after week.

As much as I dont like, he made soem throws and managed the game well.
Better then Burris, considering the salaries and bone-headed plays.

It was nice to watch Burris ruin someone else's labour day for a change.

23-for-30 for 273 yards and 2 TD's (along with 2 interceptions). Both of the interceptions were terrible throws, but he did rally the team for the winning score.

I'm not a Glenn apologist but if you take into account the Rombey td drop and the extra point drop in the endzone he ends up with a very nice game.

If you take into account every other pass especially the two god awful interceptions then he had a pretty terrible day.

[jammies]

I don't think much of Glenn but he did rally them at the end for the win. Have to give credit when it's due. And they managed to score over 30 points against a decent defence.

[moon]

I guess he gets credit for getting the win and helping them come back but hard to give him too much credit when the reason the comeback was needed because of his god awful throw that made no sense in that situation.

[Bertuzzied]

You guys are letting Dickenson's play calling off the hook. Obviously he is still concussed from his playing days on most of the play calls.

Right....every other pass was a disaster , he made 2 mistakes but bunch a nice passes. Tell Henry to get out of u so you can watch the game properly.

Pick 6's thrown on Labour Day:

Kevin Glenn 1

Henry Burris 1

I'm not seeing much of a difference!

[moon]

LOL

One guy has a 110 Passer rating and is one of the top 2 QB's in the league the other guy should have been out of the league 2 years ago, but keep letting your hate of Burris let Glenn off the hook for his crap play.

[OzSome]

I have to say other than those bad passes for INT, Glenn actually had a pretty decent game. The only problem i have with him is I don't really have confidence whenever he throws the ball. He did managed to get us a TD at the end, though. I don't hate the guy just my confidence in him is not so high.

Safety Eric Fraser on the other hand really bugs me. He is slow to react and for some reason he always shy away in giving an offensive player a licking.

Easily the worst member of the starting defensive unit and I would say the worst starting safety in the league.

Huff has stated that although he believes Mitchell will be a good QB, this is not the time to play him. Like it or not, they are going to ride Glenn. And just for the record, I agree with you, I think there have been times where they should see if Mitchell can just change things up, even for a series or 2. I'd also like to see them take a shot down the field on 2nd and short or even 3rd short with Mitchell in there.

He mixes it up just fine, and the only thing they don't do enough of is go far downfield. But that, I think, is partly philosophical - Dickenson wants to control the ball for long stretches of time, and he is perfectly happy looking for 7-12 yard plays all day. The Stamps also don't have someone like a Fred Stamps who is a legitimate deep threat - Forzani might develop into one, but he is nowhere near there yet, so Dickenson works with what he has, which is mainly Cornish/Lewis.

There's a reason nobody on the Stamps except Lewis has a 100 yard game this year - none of the other receivers are all that good.

[PeteLFan]

Surprisingly he was 23/30 if not for two picks he is 25/30 on the other hand the big turnover Henry was 13/30 not even 50%, throwing off his back foot.

It's going to be a rough ride to the playoffs for us.
