Pregame Discussion Calgary comes off of a loss to the Argonauts where their defence was scorched for 407 yards through the air and 118 yards on the ground. Drew Tate left the game early with a shoulder injury. Kevin Glenn stepped in with a 15/19 performance generating 172 yards. He threw for 2 touchdowns but also gave up 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles. Larry Taylor had a massive special teams day returning the ball for a total of 440 all purpose yards and yard missed field goal for a touchdown. Montreal rebounded from their beat down in Calgary to beat the Bombers in dominating fashion 41 to 30. Anthony Calvillo scorched a very good Bombers secondary with a 443 yard and 3 touchdown performance. Montreal’s front seven physically dominated the Winnipeg offensive line generating 3 sacks. Brandon Whitaker racked up 236 overall yards while running in 1 touchdown and catching 2 touchdowns.

When Calgary Passes Kevin Glenn had a high passing percentage but failed to consistently move the team. He had 7 two and outs and only 4 drives longer then 2 plays While the Stamps hit 8 receivers Nik Lewis was the primary receiver gaining 95 yards over 7 catches Calgary’s offensive line was not good as the running game was stuffed by the Argo front 7 who also generated 4 sacks Montreal still struggles against the passing game allowing 312 yards against. Advantage

When Calgary Rushes Jon Cornish has had a slow start to the season only rushing the ball 25 times for a 5 ypc average. Jon Cornish claimed fatigue in the first game due to dehydration and was rarely used against Toronto once the Argo’s took the lead LaMarcus Coker was ineffective in his debut game rushing 3 times for 8 yards Montreal’s run stopping game was sharply improved over their week 1 result in Calgary holding Winnipeg to 80 yards and 1 touchdown Advantage

When Montreal Passes Anthony Calvillo was held in check by the Stampeders in game one, but exploded against a good Winnipeg secondary passing for 400 yards Montreal heavily used Whitaker in their passing game against the Bombers hitting him for 98 yards and 2 TDs Brandon Smith left the Toronto game early with a sprained knee and is probable for the game against Montreal, Jamar Wall is dressing as a precautionary db Demetrius Morley the teams best coverage linebacker has gone home with a shoulder injury, Chris Randle will dress as his replacement Montreal’s offensive line did a much better job of protecting their quarterback shutting out the Bombers defence in terms of sacks Advantage

When Montreal Runs Brandon Whitaker gained 98 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown on the ground Calgary has the third ranked run defense allowing an average of 78 yards against per game. And only allowing 4 yards against per carry which is the best in the CFL. However a lot of that success came in the first game against Montreal Advantage

Special Teams Larry Taylor had a combined 444 yards on 11 return situation. He averaged 27.8 yards on 8 Kickoff returns and 35 yards on 2 punt returns. He also returned a 125 yard field goal return for a major Rene Parades is now 3 for 4 kicking field goals with a 30.7 yard average. Rob Maver continues his strong season with a a 48.7 yard average on 10 punts with his longest being 63 yards Trent Guy is their primary punt returner with 41 yards on 4 attempts Noel Devine has been Montreal’s primary kickoff returner with a 19.5 yard average on 11 kickoff returns Sean Whyte is 3 for 3 on field goals with a 35.7 yard average. On punts he’s got a 40.7 yard average on 13 punts Advantage

Intangibles Montreal will be seeking revenge for the beating they received in Calgary With injuries to Morley and Smith Calgary is weaker in terms of pass coverage Calgary will be using Kevin Glenn as a quarterback while Drew Tate remains on the sidelines Calgary comes off of a short week of rest on the road after a very physical game against the Argos Advantages
