Interesting helmets. I'll reserve judgment until I see the whole package but I like that the helmets are a little on the unique/innovative side.

And now the bad news:

Ian Busby‏@buzrbe3 mins

More bad news for Stampeders on injury front. DL Micah Johnson has bad knee injury and will miss extended time #CFL

Ian Busby‏@buzrbe1 min

Stampeders receiver Jeff Fuller has damage from dislocated shoulder and will miss some time as well. #CFL

[Da_Chief]

Jeez, can't catch a break this year on the injury front.

Fuller was the only reliable target this year.

“@buzrbe: Jon Cornish expects to practice Wednesday and play Sunday in Ottawa. Cornish says he's been ready for couple weeks #cfl #stampeders”

No love for McDaniel?

Meh, still drops a lot. He's only been better last 2 games before that he was terrible an very inconsistent.

I'm a Fuller fan and he has been very good this season, no doubt it's a big hit to the receiving corps. McDaniel seems to do this every season though, he starts slowly but then ramps it up (and he definitely seems to be a favourite target of Mitchell on second down).

Couldnt disagree more.

I think McDaniel has been absolute money this year...and last for that matter.

He isnt as dynamic as Fuller but very few in the game are.

[DOOM]

Any update on Price? He should be close to returning also.

Absolutely!

Last 2 games: 14 catches, 184 yards, 1 TD
Previous 5 games: 15 catches, 191 yards, 2 TD. Avg of 38 yards a game plus multiple drops.

He's been good the last 2 games, previous 5 he sucked and stats show.

Looks like a colorblind 5 year old left alone with a wheat stencil and a bag of sugar designed these.

I didn't hate the TO ones really, but 'baby blue' and 'football' don't seem to really go together. They were just 'meh' to me.

I did like the clean plain line of the BC "all black" unis. Simple, clean, and somewhat nasty looking (not 'nasty' like the Rider ones that make you want to vomit, 'nasty' like 'those dudes look like they mean business').

The first thing the Wife and I thought of was a Lizard when we saw the helmets.. like the Lizard from the first redone Spiderman.

Should be back real soon.

Ian Busby @buzrbe · 2h
Maurice Price (broken finger) will try to play this week but will for sure be available for Labour Day #cfl #calstampeders

Ian Busby @buzrbe · 2h
Price caught balls today with QB for first time. Trying for this week but will definitely play on Labour Day

Yet he has more catches and yards than Fuller.

Fuller must "suck" too?

[Da_Chief]

Dude, Fuller hasn't dropped many passes at all, only recall couple. MarQuay has had multiple drops. I simply said Fuller has been the most reliable target all year. Like the numbers I posted Fuller has been consistent, Marquay had couple of good games last week and his numbers have shot up. Not hard to understand.

If you really think 5 games, 3 catches a game, 38 yards a game is "money" then all the power to you.

Actually Fuller struggled the first few games with some dropsies but he's been consistent lately. As for McDaniel, he's been money except for a couple of plays but the one he deflected for INT on one game BLM actually threw it high. Only mistake he made was he tried catching it and he ended tipping it to the DB. Joe West struggled the first few games as well but the last two games he seems to be picking it up. I think the receivers are starting to peak.

Scott Mitchell‏@SUNMitchell42 secs

Source tells me Stamps DT Micah Johnson is likely done for season with ACL. Second time in 10 months. Very unfortunate. #CFL

[Cheese]

thatll be all for Micah Im afraid...too bad he was a good player when on.

[Da_Chief]

Thats terrible.

Sucks for Micah!

Ya horrible news, he was playing amazing.

But Demonte Bolden should be able to step right in.

Micah Johnson and Bolden anchored our interior line last year (Corey Mace gone all year) so Bolden should fill the void nicely.
