I really liked what I saw from Brihm in his little pre-season action.

DeVone Claybrooks was back at McMahon Stadium on Friday.

After more than a week spent recovering from a diabetic reaction, the Calgary Stampeders defensive co-ordinator was back out on the field for Friday morning’s practice.

“I’m well, I can’t complain,” Claybrooks said. “Had a little diabetic scare, but everything worked out good. My mom’s here, bossing me around like I’m 10-years-old again, so other than that, life’s good.

“Gotta make some life changes as far as my diet and that type of thing, but other than that, blessed.”

I feel really, really bad for him. Was on track for a monster season in the range of 1500 yards and double digit TD's. Worse was that the hit happened blocking on a run play which is not typically how you expect to get a season ending injury.

Not sure if the career threatening comment is over the top or not, but if it's ACL or something there is always a chance it's career threatening.

Rough. Hope he can rebound - He really stepped it up this year after what happened in the Grey Cup.

Yeah, the way he was playing it seems like he was on a mission to make amends for the fumble in last year's Grey Cup game. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery and a return to playing sometime next season.

Not good. Looks like this could be a bit of a tough one tomorrow.

I just hated Richards game last week, he looked weak on the run block, and his kick steps on pass blocking were atrocious.



He was almost straight up and down, and he was turning his upper body on it. A good kick step is everything to a tackle just like a strong hop and pop is every thing to a guard.


At least they're keeping him on Bo's front side, but I'm not all that enamoured with Bone Crusher over the last two weeks.


For those wondering about the kick step

I'm more worried about who's going to cover Williams. He could have a huge game with Evans out.

Stamps add a defensive lineman and a receiver to the practice roster:

Huf has been busy the last couple of days as today he adds national linebacker Cory Greenwood to the practice roster:

If Greenwood has recovered from his torn ACL, he could be a nice acquisition. Nice to have this depth in case the injury bug strikes.
