Alford had 3 TDs on 4 receptions against us in 2 games.

He's the moose!

[The Zipp]

alford doesn't have a lot practice time so he may be ineffective. he is a challenge though

As opposed to the beginning of his rookie year? I think he'll be good to go.

Yup, I agree with Zipp.  3-4 days is not enough time to learn the book and be on the same page and have chem with VAJ.  So many times we've seen a REC come in way too soon and actually cost the team INTs.  They zig when the QB throws to zag, and the DB gets an easy INT.  In fact, I'd plan around that and try to get him in a zone crosser, with 2 guys behind.

Also, one of those games where he pasted us was one of his first games and no one had film on him.  He was starting to get very shut down after that, until he basically became a non-factor.

I bet Major is itching to face this challenge.  Sic Major on him.  And Griffin!

Calgary is due for a win as well, we re due for a loss. We eked out a win vs Hamilton and stunk vs Ottawa and won. Dru nearly threw 3-4 interceptions last week, this week he throws picks.

That's the spirit!

If "Moose" is seemingly rostered too early... could it be because his contract says so?  What if his terms to return to the league is he's rostered every game he's not injured?  That could mean he dresses but won't see a snap.

That's weird. I'm sure they want him on the field asap.

The game tonight should be close to a sellout. I was looking today and we are about 500 short of a sellout

Weather doesn't look like it's gonna cooperate to get those walk up sales though.

That's the reality of the situation. We ve been extremely lucky to win 2 of our last 3 wins , our luck runs out on this game vs a good team. And brown is still careless with the football, he gets picked vs this secondary.

I hate the 20-30 yd. curl patterns their running as the receiver usually curls in front of 3 or 4 defenders and comes to a complete stop. Run more Sask. slants that produce huge YAC!

Get there early.

I believe there are 5000 of them.

I am always there early.

Is Calgary a good team? Worst defence in the league (and that's saying something this year).
