Oh, we are good. But with that other event running until 2pm. There could be a problem.

Other event?

People going in different directions. Shouldn't be an issue.

Looking at Ticketmaster, I'm thinking that around 29,000 tickets have been sold so far.

Other event?

Accessible Sport Expo.

They are working on a solution.

This game will be on the back of our defence. This year our DB's have been playing off of the receivers which we cannot do in this game or Rourke will pick us apart. I am not worried about our offence as long as Zach is playing, we will score points. I am concerned about our DB's being able to cover and Rourke is very accurate. I would send some blitzes if our front 4 can't get pressure on their own.

it will need to be team effort...Calgary brought pressure and actually leveled Rourke a few times. The key to beating Rourke is a very good running game that keeps the ball away from him...we get a bunch of 2 and outs and we will be in trouble.  Brady O and Prukop will need to be on fire.

We don't need to keep the ball from him. The D will put him on his back and turn the ball over.

Our offence will easily out score them.

Calgary put him on his back at least 5 times...did we sack any QB 5 times in a game this year?

Calgary had 56 sacks this season we had 40
Calgary had 19 picks we had 16

Huge advantage we are at home but I still think the best way to beat Rourke is to limit the time he has with the ball.

we ran the ball effectively against BC and we hopefully continue to do so.   We will also need some pressure on Rourke as he won't be quite as mobile with his injury.    I'm sure they are planning a quick release game for him and try and maximize Butler who was nicked in the tilt with the Stamps.

The chess match begins and it will be decided likely by who wants this game more....
