CFL 2019 W3 BC Lions vs Calgary Stampeders 720p60

a warm welcome to Calgary on this Canada Day weekend could be some fireworks tonight as Mike Riley faces Bo Levi Mitchell it's the BC Lions tackling the Calgary Stampeders there are a handful of quarterbacks off to a good start in the CFL but tonight we have the marquee matchup at the position Mike Riley and Bo Levi Mitchell have combined for five great Cup starts and have won three MLP Awards in the last five years Riley has the edge in all time passing yards but Bo Levi Mitchell has beat Riley head-to-head in the regular season in seven of 11 starts usually the Battle of Alberta but tonight it's just gonna be a straight battle both quarterbacks looking for their first win there's Dave Dickenson a former BC lion trying to avoid the stamps first over to start in ten years Sam feeders have won 11 of their last 12 coming out of a bye and applaud climb rocks spent 10 years in Calgary three as a player the final three is defensive coordinator coordinator now looking for his first head coaching it is old neighborhood Lions won the toss they had elected to receive present words back along with Brandon ruttley Stampeders won two of three last year but the Lions did win their last visit here McMahon Stadium last October it is roughly press the xxx around the 33-yard line it's the 99th career game start for Mike Riley in his career for a 10 against Calgary and coming off a game against his former team the Everton Eskimos where he was pounded and sacked seven times so Mike Riley in this offense looking for a bounce-back game a sense of urgency even though we're just in week three [Music] [Applause] to get the ground game establishing again something early here's Joe blogging branching up to the 45 yard line with a first down run well it's Canada Day weekend so let's highlight the Canadians in the lineup here for both teams tonight there's Lamar Durant played his college ball and Simon Fraser University former Calgary Stampeder from Winnipeg former from Coquitlam Port Coquitlam in Vancouver but former Ballmer soup chunk up front the offensive line they want to be more physical up their front arrival tonight team that hasn't got much done on the ground rips on 13 of the first carry of the game and they'll go back to the group roughly twin tailback scented Rutley this time stopped up short by Cory Greenwood Canadians on the Calgary defensive side there's Derrick Wigan from Queens University I got one in Portland CC Cory green wood in the middle front played his college ball Concordia and then you go back to Royce Michie plant safety he's out of Guelph University so Canadians in the lineup on Canada Day weekend roughly second and six [Applause] and Riley to throw for the first time slight standeth II Kaveri 43 yard line tackle beat by Brandon Smith but the Lions moving after that 17 yard connection well Calgary Stampeders coming off the by and in their first game of the regular season gets Ottawa the corner that the Ron Carter just got that ball on took a shot here and I don't blame them because dream Wilkinson had three in the opening game of the season here at McMahon Stadium against Ottawa took the shot at a fourth one on the season right there and dismissed 13th kids for Carter of the year [Applause] at the 42-yard line looks like they'll swing it up here moon John White the flat hands white he breaks the post Sakhalin then gets bumped out of balance by the shot amos suits they look for more balance we've seen it already on this first series yeah more John white coming out of the backfield either running the ball we've seen a couple of running plays already in Drive one but a little swing pass to them out in the flat as well so a bit more variety in the play calling out of the game second sure follow the news center jsy hood of Laval as that offensive line reconfigured on his great response from Mike Riley yesterday when we had our meeting with them and I talked to him about the physical abuse he took in that Edmonton game and just the pounding he took and he just smiled I said did you ever think that maybe you were gonna be taken out of the game he said no no it was a two-possession game and the CFL is you know you could score quickly and in under three minutes even he said I was staying in and by the way that physicality part of the game for the game I love [Applause] in pursuit they have played first quarter the first two weeks here's the counter to run Li dragged down buying Greenwood at the 28 so another second and long after a three yard Rutley pickup the question is will they be committed to this run it's one thing to have it in the game plan and in drive one come out and start calling it with that variety in the lineup but will they stick with it will they stick with it if they fall behind in this game that's the question I think BC Lions fans have asked they're quicker than the stamps defense trying to dig in second and seven showing pressure off the edge [Applause] train robbers already his for intersection quarters of football he's going to get noticed and he keeps let up well the sophomore is off to a great start interception number four and this one goes to the House pressure off the edge causes Riley to have just a little bit of a timing issue on the throw and a split second too long to get there and 31 takes it and he is gone they get a challenge here from Devon Claybrooks on the contact of the quarterback so right now the touchdown celebration is on hold there will be a challenge couple of roughing the passer calls last week by a challenge and this one is under review I've been McLennan with the helmet him [Music] after review we have roughing the passer Calgary number three 15-yard penalty automatic first down till the helmet contact from the four BC lion i but McLennan wipes the pick-6 off the board well he drops his chin and does catch Mike Riley right in the helmet right under his chin he's got to lower his target zone and get Riley between the 1 and the 3 and that's the correct call the font Claybrooks immediately saw it 1 & 2 so that challenge got it out there and the Lions dodged a big one early did have to use the challenge but we'll get another after successful on the first three for three and all three for the same kind of call on hits against his quarterback so instead of feet down by a touchdown so the first down is a red zone setting up shop nathie Stampeder 14 or pressure little sidearm John white caps it the other way for the BC Lions [Applause] chapter you gotta believe that that just to kick right to the solar plexus to have a pick six go the other way and then have the roughing the passer take it off the board take the points off the board and then try and regroup and get out there and defend this little swing pass to John White but the BC Lions good challenge by their head coach Devon Claybrook won it put the first points on the board milestone touchdown throw for Mike Riley the 150th of his career third on the year the first to work connections to former Stampeder levar Durant so they'll go for two and for the second straight week opening drive touchdown for PC [Applause] garand all to the right side it whooping could toy in for the two points the former land leer am has his first Canadian Football League voice deeper ones with the touchdown a 14 yard one the tongue connection to John White who gets the quarter and gifts be seen welcome back to Calgary where PC strikes first after a successful challenge that wiped out a touchdown going the other way against them and the two-point convert gives a man ain't nothing lead Terry Williams who was nipped in the opener the gates Ottawa back in here and back with William long way and it will be the speedy Williams from Aziz brings it up just shy of the 30-yard line Soho Levi Mitchell who has never started a year oh and two we'll try to keep that intact as he looked for his 70th career victory here this evening gray record at home grave record against the BC Lions great record against Mike Riley however in the second half of that Ottawa game just around a hundred yards of offense typical role they've seen from cap no points in their last 10 positions Andals chasing engine he gets gig tackled in push back now let's take a look at some of the Canadians isn't the starting lineup for the Calgary Stampeders offensively there is JaJuan brzeska cent comes from Mississauga Ontario there is a front Jayne Bergman from Waterford Ontario and played his college ball in Western seven year Calgary but he's a mainstay of that offensive line one of the best run blockers in the league second spot early movement and flags flying Lions defensive line suggesting they were drawn procedure Calgary number 62 five-yard penalty repeat second down Nayla cassateddi the right tackle flinched early he flinched because he saw Chris Edwards coming from the linebacking core on a straight blitz and had timed it out nicely so hey it's named to hit on his quarterback and we found out last week Chris Edwards his note there to shake hands so second and ten after the five-yard penalty the four-man rush Peters you know he may have got there with the lien he got his pad level down and got that shoulder lean in to Gary Peters timing out by Bolivar Mitchell to get it out there to him now watch him dip his shoulder and get that extra half yard might be enough three four forty nine in the open air for ambles also at a 17 yard rushing play which was the longest run from scrimmage for the Stampeders in their season opener two weeks ago thank east the Ottawa redblacks Calgary had come out over the ball here and they hadn't moved the down box and set the chains up properly just yet they're still measuring now they got the first down so they could go back to regular offense Arbuckle was just a little bit ahead of the head of the curve there so Mitchell back in last ate for them they did run up at eighteen six lead after the first quarter first quarter lead for Calgary since 2002 Jackson up to be better in this game and brought down by Peters well we didn't have a Canadian starter upfront on the BC D line so we're gonna give Odell Willis see yeah he's our Canadian up front the new Canadian I guess you could say SF used Jordan herd Minh Reed in the middle of that line backing core born in Winnipeg played his ball at SFU I think I vote Queen she is a few you know what two to one Anthony Thompson in the back hand born in Montreal is playing wide side corner hearing for the Calgary pitch they thought there was a hole but no flags on the play and the punt team will have to come on here year 11 and closing in on a hundred sacks I think we give him Canadian status plus plus just a great guy to sit and talk football with that was fun again yesterday again 98 careers sacks Rutley is back at the 25 and a guy from Brampton Ontario will be punting for Calgary that's Rob paper [Music] [Music] and the 35 and wrapped up around the 39 yard line so the Lions head the football Mike Reilly has the lead here early Pat McMahon was a beat down last week at Commonwealth Stadium particularly for the quarterback Mike Riley sack seven times took that huge jolt as well he didn't like the way that game unfolded and after it was over he challenged his teammates know we're capable of it it's not it's not physically it's up top man it's so tough leaving in your brother believing that he's going to get his job done and you're gonna get your job done right plant for each other so I don't know what motivates you it doesn't really make a difference but get motivated told us that you can't do that a lot but Felton it was the right time early in this rebuilding of the BC lion his teammates should respond to that here tonight right in the second position on the ground spun off first contact but contained just beyond the line of scrimmage O'Reilly told us yesterday that you never want a physical beatdown on your resume and he said quite honestly across the board offense defense and teams it was a physical beatdown against the Everton Eskimos he was sacked seven times that's most tied with most three games in his career but he was hit so many more times than just the seven sacks interesting that the other two times against the Calgary Stampeders we did not register design for the first game per second the penalties got private park in the Calgary territory and BC is four for four on second down conversions early DeGroat and it's both the timing between the linebackers here Burnham's going to try and find the holes linebackers drop out of here you can see them drop and Burnham's got a five right in between them there goes the three linebackers whereas the whole ball should arrive on time 18 yard hook up roof just one catch last weekend with that grand 16th straight games in the reception is to toy with his second catch of the game just one of the first two weeks he was not targeted last week against Edmonton big big target though six foot five to thirty one of the stories of training camp was really it really was and it's going to take a while for HIPPA make the transition from junior football before they think that gets up listening by Riley should have another first down but but again proof that even if you know you're playing junior football and you think in the back your mind that maybe you won't get a chance to play pro and make a living playing the game well don't don't think that way it's possible could toi showing that he can make the transition big big target big physical receiver a guy that if he can figure it out and he will can be a all-star in the league and think of Andrew Harris he was the other one that comes to mind played junior football in Canada and made the transition like Riley six for six out of the gate here [Applause] so first down [Music] so much they're brought down by Derrick Wigan thick Bowl team suits were focused on the line of scrimmage of being better than they were in their previous game a couple of injuries for the Calgary Stampeders defensively up front esta palabra raise out they got Jabbar Wenstrup in whether ugly a week away or so and jr. Turner Jr Turner indeed you drink these surgery last week so guilty of an extended period of time secondly welcome [Applause] in complete a play is tossed ball hung up a little bit Brian Burnham draws the pass interference call and it's going against Brandon Smith Brandon Smith was the deep defender trying to help pass interference Calendar number 16 the follow curd in the endzone the ball will be placed on the one-yard line automatic first down well there will be the safety net gu was also over there in the coverage well first it's it's Riley fighting off Cory Greenwood but when Brian Burnham does such a great job here of selling that because that ball is is behind him over his head and he he goes up in front of that football to sell that he had a crack at it I have a McLennan injured and getting helped off the field so it is another injury on the defensive line for gondry as they have to dig in on the goal line just joining us a penalty by McLennan in the first series took a Trey Roberson interception for a touchdown off the board BC converted after the penalty why they have the eight-point lead and now another penalty put him on the one-yard line Dickinson I looked like he was contemplating taking another look at that P I call but does not throw the challenge flutter first kasher checks in first a goal at the one B John White touchdown be seen [Applause] they're touchdown run of the year for John White in behind what's been a better offensive line for the BC Lions here in the opening quarter yeah better because they've got to lean on that front hand and do some run blocking here tonight something they haven't done a lot of in the first two games of the season so one thing offensive linemen love to go after people and attack rather than getting pass block Bowl to a two-point conversion on their first touchdown which made them three for three on the season now they'll try and kick the convert with Sergio Castillo looking to make it a 50-point lead out of the hold of Danny O'Brien up and good and the Lions sir roaring early here China with Devon Claybrooks his first as a head coach this would set up by a pass interference calling if you're just looking at his score and the stats you see two drives by Mike Riley two touchdowns but both penalty aided that first one I from the planet interrupting the passer took an interception for touchdown off the board and it was converted by Riley after the penalty now that ti puts it on the one-yard line and again the BC Lions take advantage of two penalties to keep penalties in this first two drives of the game for the Lions to convert Castile kick cetera William to eternity beyond the 30 stacked up there as the Lions look for their first win for their new head coach with more here's Jermaine Franklin thanks CC after 10 spending 10 years in the Stampeders organization as a player and a coach Devon clay Brooks admits that Calgary has a very special place in his heart but at the same time he doesn't have time to reminisce about the past especially since he is looking for his first win as a head coach clay Brooks Thome is very grateful for the mentorship of Dave Dickenson and John Hufnagel what he took from them be efficient be detailed be organized leave no stone unturned now perfection probably would never really be attained but as it goes you snap and a team hit you strive for perfection then excellence will be attained not the start he envisioned what wasn't reaching for any panic buttons after opening losses against Winnipeg in Edmonton Noah said it would be a process you know he said he's got a lot of new faces they're trying to create their identity and again physicality something that they all talked about and communication that was a word that came up yesterday in meetings with the BC Lions communication on their old line in communication in the back end reception by ambles and now a sneak for the first down is think everybody figured he was the next guy to get a head coaching job with a terrific resume including the top ranked defense and Grey Cup champions last year had a couple of options and ended up with the BC Lions that's what happens with you our team like the Calgary Stampeders as good as they've been since the return of John huffnagle and o8 you're gonna lose assistant coaches every year when you're in the championship Jackson a bunch of a surge there it short yardage on first out and free agents you know and that's that's just part of it that's part of being a great football team in a great organization Calgary with all their great Cup appearances are gonna start to lose some of their talent Dave Dickenson understands that he's trying to rebuild his team classic situation here forty-five Rogers bold five four five neither quarterback has that incompletion so far and maybe we should be surprised in this showcase of the two highest-paid quarterbacks in the league and so its own drop for hair and grime so he bails out there he's got deep responsibility and ambles is gonna keep Gary Peters away from that out road to Eric rajala two of the four catches by Rodgers last week second down conversion catches and that one as well here's Jackson Jackson finding openings very difficult to detect to davon Coleman was in the hole that time at Jackson and him will job after the play I think Matt Bosen got in there as well he came underneath and tripped Don Jackson up from the backside and then he got who was in the front that's Thorpe Matt Bose has his college days there long second difficulty [Music] once it drops it and Aaron Grimes are gonna rule he'd complete but looked like Fresca's and had secured the football but it was knocked loose on the final play of this opening quarter yeah well the ball was thrown where it had to be he had it in both hands on his way to secure it and bring it down it was Chris Edwards I know it wasn't coming off the back end that's what Brando sure the safety so Dozier makes his bird face defensive played with his new team we're through 15 minutes of football on the Canada Day weekend and McMahon Stadium huge opening quarter client's as they lead by 53 penalties in the quarter to really made an impact all the difference in the score I mean to penalties one by McLennan was I thought the right call it was the correct call and roughing the passer took a Trey Roberson interception for a touchdown off the board and BC takes advantage of that and scores and then the P I was a questionable call I thought that ball was out but hey full credit to to Brian Burnham for drawing the penalty flag from two defenders third straight game now than the BC Lions have led after quarter and I can't remember the last time Calgary would trail by 15 and Holmen after 15 minutes of football well you're right you think of their home wrecker first of all at 53 and 11 Gold Mount Azusa 12 and the fact coming off a by they've lost one game in their last 12 neighbor trying to hit the corner and Carter will let that well it's three and it's a single form the Stampeders is there was some pressure coming off the edge on Rob a Burton not what they wanted Calgary perspective but a good decision by Durant Carter to let that go through looked like he was tempted to grab it haver was trying to get that out inside the tent so the Lions will scrimmage at their own 35-yard line Mike Riley six for six 73 yards in the opening 15 minutes coming into week three streets lead up the team of led after one hand five ever seen some big deficits get eaten up in the second half against this year [Music] Rylee rolls-royce then she was there but Berta big Zod close to the Calgary or the BC 50-yard line so a 15 yard pickup mentioned no lead is safe for these two teams have been on the wrong side of that their last game up 11 nothing liens against the Eskimos and that weighs on them quickly also Calgary knows what it feels like gonna say with a Stampeder down one of the differences here though was the Lions move the football well in the first half against Edmonton but settled for field goals they've punched it in twice here Brandon Smith the 12-year vet is getting attention and he'll have to come out for at least three plays I have a McLennan has already gone to the locker room yet another injury on the defensive line for Dave Dickenson and company [Music] and so Brandon Smith makes his way slowly to the sidelines and a newcomer Robertson Daniel in his spot on a BYU and they're gonna put him out to the field side move to Shaun Amos I think into the boundary to play beside Trey Roberson run the more experienced DB to be playing into that short side of the field that's usually where Doron Carter and Brian Burnham line up as well usually [Applause] [Music] the white deer side brought down around the 54 yard line Greenwood in the middle of it along with Wynton McManus and it's for for John White he's run plays and Jarius Jackson calling much more mixed play calling in this game then then in the first two I mean this is this is not just dropped back in that seven step drop mold every single time for the Lions they're sticking with the run now and this drive number three breakdown with 74 Pat suspect crushes the first two games tournament he got tracked down good pursuit by DeSean Davis and it's gonna be third down and a decision for Devon Claybrooks we may be even further than I thought looks like third and three yeah I'd be surprised if he goes for it here by the reaction by the reaction of Brian Burnham coming off that play it looked like he was just a little bit off in his depth on the road he's kind of tapping his own helmets and that was on me not on Mike Riley that he needs to know where that first down marker is and make his break right there so Castillo to punt for the first time for PC Williams pressure run and to steal guns away finally get plated the second off by William Selby the five-yard no yards but had he been able to field that before it hit the turf it would have been a 15-yard penalty there's Berta well upset with himself [Music] see fellow TSN keeps on rolling Monday on Canada Day showdown featuring a special live mic broadcast get inside the huddle with the Argonauts and the Rough Riders via the Saskatchewan home opener action begins 6:30 Eastern 3:30 Pacific across the TSN Network and those high profile panel guys will be on site that mosaic by 14-3 scrimmages at their own 18-yard would they set up the screen sure tackle for Gary Peters up with the 20 I think both these offensive coaches and Dave Dickenson calling the plays are are both content to get their backs involved a they want to in this game get their backs involved and allow their o line to give the defense different looks get out there in front of that tailback and try and get a lead block right now good tackling by the BC Lions in open field more touches ten yards for Jackson early second law pressure but Lake Harris the former Stampeder had the first shot at the quarterback yep Malik Harris was there and from the top Chris Edwards it was an all-out blitz company here's Edwards from this side excuse me Malik Harris from that side Edwards from the field and here they come I mean not enough blockers they're from believe I'm Mitchell we get that one blocked up and it's Jordan herdmen read the middle linebacker who brings him down for the sack so the three guys in the backfield none of the bench lined up for work defensive lineman all bouncing at the midfield stripe Van Leeuwen Rutley slips in is down to the 52 so great field position for the Lions Jordan Berthe tree [Music] the best defensive performance of week 1 was turned in by Trey Robertson the quarter the grandson of Larry hi pop Larry's in the Hall of Fame but he never had a three interception game his grandson did negates the redblacks to the opener while somehow he didn't get player the recruit post on but what it started my grad lien from the Calgary side of half has other connection with Bryan Burnham and so difficult to play on that short side whether you're playing corner or halfback and right now we're heme Wilson the wide side corner has moved into the halfback spot but Roberson trying to deal with first of all the best receivers that's usually Burnham and Doron Carter lining up into that boundary second to the yard Riley plunges he has the first down he's 9 for 9 for 100 yards so far in the game I a poke a little fun at Duane Forde my our colleague and and matt dunigan back in the studio that the pick our offensive guys who are the guys that picked offensive guys in week 1 a 3 a 3 interception game is like a 600 yard passing game for a quarterback or a 200 yard receiving game for a receiver it just does not happen very often and Roberson that day at 4 on the night he had three two knockdowns as well but Duncan's never liked anybody to intercept the football take the white going anywhere big defensive play there's the young safety Royce Mitchie Mitchie closes quickly on this one because you know he lines up back at that safety spot so he's way off the ball but tremendous read and just play the play when you see the play using it on film go ahead and believe what you see Dave Dickenson mention that in his pregame speech believe what you see see it and go get it done Lyons if converters 78 done second down second wall here McManus gets home to the Stampeders and may have taken the Lions out of field goal range well he wanted the double move and when Lamar Durant was covered by Dre Roberson at that short side corner position there's Trey now he's gonna get double moved by Lamar Durant here the little pump fake as he gets a jumps at corner and Durant just gets blanketed down at the bottom of your screen Mike Riley wants to pump him he's not there and pressure gets to him night time Riley's been sacked this season first time in this game the sacks even at one apiece Castillo two-putt they got close and he's taken down that's going to be a penalty to keep BC on the field well there's no question there's contact and Nancy Milanovic Sleater was well another error a couple of Stampeders were there another bad decision by Calgary here because this is going to give BC Lions roughing the kicker Calgary number 34 15-yard penalty automatic first down a new set of downs automatic first down because it's roughing the kicker now the new rule or the rule changed this year is that the plant are the kicking leg does not have to be in the air for this to be roughing the kicker now in this case it was anyway but the kicker is allowed to kick it and then come back safely to his spot whether his legs in the air or down on the ground both feet you cannot contact him at all even if you touch the ball you can't contact him and that also is a change and that was clearly roughing the kicker Nate Hawley was in there too and the convergence of hollien leader combined to create the contact that keeps BC the field offensively hits the character got a block but letting off that block and making a solid play once again is that corner that everybody better take notice up yeah you know you know it's the degree of difficulty here is is tremendous and I mentioned the best talent that you're facing but also the unlimited motion in Canadian football I mean those receivers can be coming towards the line of scrimmage full-speed and as a DB you got your feet planted and then you've got to push off and start to backpedal and not let him just flat-out run by you that's very difficult at the best of time last five years only three men with three interceptions quote the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2015 in Katy 2017 well think of it this way Chris like if if you and I lined up 10 yards apart 15 yards apart you just stand facing the same way I am and I start my count BC number 13 five-yard penalty second down I start running 15 yards before you can even move and then as we get even then you start running and see if you can keep with me now I know you have great speed so that's possible but that's the degree of difficulty that DP face and on the short side that the the ball gets there very quickly [Applause] Noctowl makes his second 13 pressure cooking dryly able to dust it off welcome to number two it gets the first down around the 21 yard line 14 for John White and and that's nice play out of the backfield my wife but let me show you what I mean there this is this is right here is Brian Burnham and he's gonna get that downhill waggle and this is where defensive backs now have to try and gauge this and not let him just run right by him 16s gonna look he's got a running start and that's why you got to give him some room but still make flames better maps have divided to 1819 so far Victor white roll into the endzone against his old team lamar durant has his third touchdown of 2019 Mike Riley had to hang in there this time he knew the pressure was getting there it was getting close but he had to hang in there it was a deep outro by Durant Durant needed some time to execute this the play-action gave him a split second but he felt that one coming right down the middle pays the price and gets it out there that was microbes stands in fires and there's Durant crawling in free agent signing the former Stampeder off to a tremendous start did Mike Riley general manager in her be all think that Durant can have a monster year than a monster first half for the Lions his deal the upright hit ball and it will stay 21 to 1 our flags flying oh there's the touchdown pass it's 22 yard connection Riley to Durant and pay dirt for BC [Music] okay still had one blocked and this submiss is he it's it right off the upright and after all that you see a bit of a scrum and wind McManus draws a roughing penalty from the takedown on Matt bosun so they'll spot the ball on the lion 54 this kickoff frustrations bubbling up now for Calgary cuz another penalty three crucial penalties turned into 21 points for the BC Lions in this first half penalties and three touchdowns that's not championship football this team keeps us in play McManus the end zone at he's going to take a knee so there's the convert the penalty gives BC a chance to kick that point and it's 22 to 1 all those points for BC 22 points and off penalties roughing the passer a PIR roughing the kicker all turned into majors past nine minutes of the second quarter Mitchell Troy Lucas [Applause] warmer Calgary dyno with the ketchup near midfield one catch in week one this one going for 18 yards and good field position now for the Stampeders Bo Levi Mitchell is trying to now change the tempo of game called new plays I'm going to line of scrimmage pin things rolling 54 yards of passing for Mitchell in this first half gonna look for a chunk here for Rodgers almost intercepted step for step was here at Grimes Aaron Grimes ran the route form he's just out in front of them better chance at the football then Eric Rogers Rogers almost becomes DB here just get right out from home almost like he's slowing him down by his positioning so he had a better shot at it that number for all CFL in 2015 [Music] second tip protection [Applause] ken-chan a big Calgary first down Nicholson's first graph of the day Mapleton lines up in the slot to receiver he's going to run that out timing from Bo Levi Mitchell is there he gets it out to him as the Lions are dropping off in his own but with this much time left still lots of time don't want to be too side defensively against - real diamonds earlier first four positive yards and out Terry Williams the ball carrier Don Jackson's gonna check back in real real important drive for Calgary to finish with a major give that supplemental going in at halftime and I'm and I'm guaranteeing a discipline is going to be a discussion at halftime boy this is a team for more than a decade just doesn't beat itself do they drilled at the end of the play big hit by Edwards but enough for another first down yeah the first move he needed to get into that first I've set it up for that Dosher hit the first shot at him Edwards and Grimes finish it off but stamps are marching here trying to get full step dougie [Applause] with a rear drop took a peek took a peek but said the pro level 2 watches watch his head these balls about to arrive he takes a peek and comes back actually hit him right in the face mask because it went through his hands that one go second attempt another stiff Peter first down that was a rear Oh Mitchell reading what apples was gonna run he just had pressure hit him on the side fourth first down to the drive Calgary marching at the 3-minute warning here epic band back in the studio getting set for halftime we're gonna talk about the three big penalties that have made such a difference in this game and the biggest difference for bc's offense that's helping Mike Riley and look ahead to Monday at Mosaic Canada day riders are goes back to Chris and Glen thanks rod Cocker he's got something like three first downs on their first three possessions for on this Drive Wow the traffic the interesting decision by believe I'm Mitchell there I mean there were BC Lions all over his intended target he wanted to go boot and fool the BC defense little play-action bootleg but look at the traffic around bagel to them like Matt Bose and the defensive end with a knockdown and Malik Harris the former Stampeder nearly got it on the tip Moulson the rookie defensive end of my TCU second of ten Michell steps Jackson's gonna get driven back I'm not sure Don Jackson I think that's surprised him I think gonna go for it down here third down offense stay it out there I like to call I like to call by Dickinson Limbaugh he'll need the major here [Applause] Rutgers it's a gutsy call because you want to make sure you come away with points when you're down 22 to 1 but I like the aggression I like the fact that he's saying hey it's a big drive just before the half need to grab some momentum go for it on third and goal it's a it's a it's a two-point convert distance away basically so they've got special plays set up for it gutsy call but I like it go get right back in this game first touchdown of the year for Rodgers second touchdown pass for Bo Levi Mitchell [Music] point four to try to make it a 13-point BC lead sing to Jackson [Applause] apples breaks the plate and any scoring play will be reviewed so let's wait find out if it stands video-review see if he gets there on his own because he's got the ball does he crossed the plane on his own it looked like a teammate grabs him and pulls him across clearly the ball right there is across the goal line at the end of the play the compre williams i'm not sure if this would fit the description of a tan to block but he literally pulls him in now you can Barry Williams is saying I just I was falling backwards and he just happened to be that's but he's trying to sell a little help from his friends get some in and it is 23 missed play is under review by the command center take know they're taking a look at her still taking a look so every every score is is is reviewed automatically Devon Claybrooks does not have to use a challenge there I thought they'd read late at the play but it is still being looked at Hodel will is cut off the first thought on that play to get ampuls outside and made it up from there [Applause] Snickers town I think they're seen if they was down by by contact with the knee before the ball crossed and I don't think it is I think the ball has crossed before the knee touches after review the ruling on the field stands the two-point convert is good if the big man at center he go got a helper for that that's called a helper in football that's different than hockey but he's kind of like an apple he's not happy and now you know Dave doesn't you know and sometimes during calls and officials calls and things you'll see a little and you'll seal motion but he's got a speech ready and halftime and it's gonna be about discipline the end zone better cover it better cover it because leader is down hill to hurry yeah it's live again just let it bounce in there and it's twenty two to ten now the defending champions desperately needed a big drive and they got it Bo Levi Mitchell wert went to work he got bagel ten involved ham was on a key second down conversion and then on third down in a boat three he goes ahead and gets it inside a gamble to get it and there's a two-point convert is under review and stands eleven play 75 yards five first downs on the drive and if you're the Stampeders now you're thinking we get it to a note to close the gap to make it a one score game and got CK have done and have the wind at their back right now so [Applause] 32:13 in this first half for at the 38 crackdown by wicked meanwhile right now you Mike Riley you're thinking we've got two minutes ago score and make a would some of that momentum away so key second down here second and in about 7 grand Watson has taken over as defensive coordinator for Devon Claybrooks now the head coach in BC said to me yesterday that he likes to call it sort of with a gut feeling let's see what his gut says here cuz he said pressure [Applause] second sympathy phrenology [Applause] white hangs on in the impact from Roberts and Daniel that's a huge first out for PC [Applause] fourth catch for white Robertson in the area covering Durant Carter the intended target if Mike Riley throws that ball to Tehran Carter on target that's going the other way Roberson jumped the road and was there to take it if that ball was actively thrown I think Riley threw it away because he felt Robertson's presents first excuse me first incompletion of the game for Mike Riley 148 yards in this first half so far granted resting his chick Hinson again wait for leases Riley will go to runt Lee got a block and run please go to drop in standard territory and the Calgary 48 yard lines is about self scouting for the BC Lions it's about looking at what they have done and maybe more importantly what they didn't do in the first two games and say what were we missing we were missing the balance we were missing the run game the screen game getting the tailback big subgenres so they're leading that there's Lamar Durant with another catch brought down by Daniel good-looking response drive for PC absolutely and one more first down or eight to ten yards more in there in real makeable field goal range at the very least take a little bit of the sting away from that last guy [Applause] take the white gun Justin gets yards after the catch Thanks concentration from Tehran Carter Roberson is in his back pocket here too look at this cuts underneath I think he stumbled a little bit or else he he may have had another crack at that one aggressively playing to Ron Carter I'm sure inside and cardigan cent comes up with they're gonna mark it back at ruling the Carter was down by contact on the initial knee I wasn't sure if he and secured the football when he dropped does he have in there or not or is it just that full-on more movement [Applause] [Music] double [Applause] McGuinness with the tackle close to another first down looks like he'll be yard Jordan now Riley's not thinking about field goal take away the sting of the major he's saying we're now in the in the in the red zone it's it's inside the 20 red zone on my catches 56 yards for white Riley plunges from the first down so John wait the first half now at 11 touches in 79 yards so a big part of the balance they were absolutely looking for all completely different I mean different team offensively then week one and two and a rotation with Rutley and white both getting the chance to touch the ball the chauffeur has been pervading [Applause] open again try to get to the sidelines and take a note around the 23 on the clock gonna be second and short once again Carter with a couple of catches now saying he's not scared of tre Rovers in it but he did queen quad Lauren the shoulder it looked like he was appropriated in trash-talk it wasn't out of bounds yet he's gotta get from McManus behind [Applause] [Music] rip it back and you know Doron Carter will do this Chris but he he lured his shoulder and he's gonna just give him the stink eye that's the stink eye back to you okay it's game on now drunk Carter now with six targets five catches Roberson had the pick six taken off the board has got a couple of knock downs in the game and has been in the hip pocket on a couple of the Doron Carter catches so it's been a fun matchup to watch tonight is a BC first down so they've got time for a couple of cracks at it from the six yard line timeout let me see this is an important drive for the Lions I mean this is a big big drive a Calgary comes back they get some momentum to get the crowd back into it they get the two-point convert not only the major but the two-point and make it a 12-point game and a huge response from Mike Riley 11th play of the drive coming up exactly what we expected from both quarterbacks I mean the penalties know that's been a bit of a surprise but as far as quarterback play goes 19 of 20 just one best ho Levi Mitchell 13 of 17 our key matchup reports are pretty good [Applause] friendly bring it down why it looked like to me they were going to the one-on-one on the short side of the field because they had left Carter all by himself on Roberson and Riley looks down the middle first he knew the pocket his time in there was was running over so he had to get rid of it that was a bit of the dangerous throat [Applause] [Music] [Applause] japonica toy looking for his first CFL touchdown gets stopped now third and one via kick three or you punch it in Brandon Rutley tried to talk to Vaughn Claybrooks I he's gonna go he's gonna go smooth ride [Applause] [Music] go sick though didn't get there last night it was good for over the goal line stand two in the first happened the Stampeders have just done it as well well if I like the Dickenson call and light that one to just be aggressive and go get it but good surge up front from Calgary and went Riley turns he can't reach it his plays a potential scoring play I am a now the previous play is a scoring play potential scoring play so it's being reviewed automatic review our potential scoring plays this year as well as scoring play so it's going to be looked at I don't know if there's any view that I've seen so far that shows anything different than the call on the field but once he's turned like that now he can't move the ball to cross the plane both coaches talked about winning the battle on the line of scrimmage Calgary wins it he didn't hear and Mike Riley with his helmet made him but certainly the ball did not break the plane and a SOIC terrific late drive by the BC Lions fall short and it will be a 12-point BC review by the command center the ruling on the field stands the runner was short of the goal line good first half of play again Mike Riley engineering three touchdown drives penalty eat at all of them and they leave by 12 as we centered the rod Smith Thank You CeCe back with Henry and Maddie and Milton boy I wonder what that goal line stand I want to happen big that's gonna loom in this game Calgary trailing by 12 points and in the game of what ifs and I don't I know you don't like this but whatever but those three penalties that have really changed the tide of this game and I know when the Calgary Stampeders going to the locker room Dave Dickenson first words are gonna be like guys we were playing some undisciplined football and they're not good enough to overcome these penalties in previous years their defense was so good they could overcome these penalties but right here you have my clinic I don't think he did this on purpose but he has to understand the new rules not only does that put points on the board for the BC Lions but it took points all for the Calgary Stampeders because I got a cuts down on it then right there on this rim play right here roughing the kicker you can't allow that to happen Henry they have to come out this second half and be more dish mill you're 100% correct because coaches always talk about two things no turnovers and no penalties it penalties in that case are almost like turnovers because they extend the drive and they keep the opposition on the field I can tell you like you mentioned mill it was already gonna be tough enough for them to beat BC today but for them to basically toss Christmas gifts and the BC Lions and the guys returning the old Stampeders it's like welcome back guys we're trying to give you this big question what what about Mike Riley the story going in we wondered this isn't just on the Lions old-line I mean other forms of protection but also their scheme offensively and what's working now that certainly wasn't working last week well I mean we talked about the three changes upfront and how they had to have balance and it helps any quarterback and obviously they've been able to do that to some and watch this and the offensive line zone protect or don't blocking here and watch their best receiver Brian Burnham he goes down gets the edge and the John White off to the races early in the ballgame I love that scheme and well-executed here watch zone covers in the back and another way just get him some touches he already got five you heard Cece talk about at the end of the half he's got five for 56 through the air and then he said sprinkling Rutley these big boys been hungry for two weeks let him eat let him go downhill you get 340 pounds they're not they're not designed to go backwards they're designed to go downhill and chew on people and here you see a maddening Layton and a nice different way of making it happen with the big boys up front give them more tools in the toolbox and they're gonna be successful and that's all it is a simple balance you know how important that is Henry he's just not dropping back being at the same point 24/7 and and anybody can get to you after after point of time and any defense event can beat a good offensive lineman in that scenario you sit back there often enough well I can tell you one key thing we need to also keep it all in the second half is the fact that BC Lions our defense gave up 36 points per game you know where they are right now they're keeping a great Calgary offense under 150 total yards in that first half and only 10 points I'm kicking the three I'm kicking the three they had a game going up at three scores and they're getting John White involved not on the ground but through the air he's the lead receiver with 56 yards that's important and Mike Riley 14 for 14 to start that ties a CFL record old Ottawa Roughriders Jordan case back in 1980 no an incompletion yeah an incompletion since then but still Riley looking a lot more confident at a 12 point lead at the half we'll be back to talk about Canada day after this tonight we have the marquee matchup at the position after review we have roughing the passer John wait cap just the other way [Applause] here in concrete before we put a pole on the first half let's head down to the sidelines shebeen Franklin's with Dave Dickenson well Dave not the start to the game that you were looking for what was the message to your team at halftime I just keep fighting I mean yeah we had a good play we got the call against us it was probably a legit call so we just keep fighting right now like you said we're just we're working on it there's a lot of growth there but we just got to take care of little things that was an important drive for the touchdown too near the end of the half but in terms of discipline was there a message in that with a few editing penalty aided drives for the BC Lions yeah we talked about it but you know I'm tired of talking about it okay do it alright let's get you a get out and get out of the way that's basically the message thanks for your time thank you so probably a terse message well clearly it was tired of talking about it and don't make bad decisions on the field that hurt your team meanwhile Mike Riley who had a little bit of an edge in his half-time interview to him saying hey if they're cheatin and we're getting the next two first down because of it we'll take it good execution by Riley the offense looks much better than in week 1 and 2 for the BC Lions Calgary will have the football and the wind to start the third quarter 25 of the 32 points in the opening half scored with the width Williams feels it at the 15 and Terry Williams warmed up the 30-yard line only by Mitchell 13 of 17 for 106 most of it coming on that final offensive drive of the first half take a look at a position tube because he did get a couple of drives going that last drive to end the half that finished with the major in a third and three on the three yard line gamble by Dave Dickenson paid off right there with that touchdown real important points before the half will that be a difference in the game Calgary converting a third and three in deep and BC being stopped third and one Lucas can't hold on that dropped astern the second half a little bit behind him but that's one that Lucas has to come up with what's up in second and long and like Riley said to us yesterday tough to live in second and long offensively enough to live in that in that world let's see if they can live for another series here second Lansing brides who comes up with it the intended target was ampuls I believe there is a flag down at the end of the play but its weight and sort this out yeah and clearly the first that the intended target was overthrown by mentioned quickie overstride it a little bit after the play objectionable conduct BC number 36 10-yard penalty first down after the interception so the Lions will gain possession here there's at the top of your screen top right of your screen is the is the throw and that's and that's crime just coming back to the ball we got a penalty after the fact but the target was up front it was overthrown that was not intended for Erika Rodgers so it's the first interception for BC on the year Erin Grimes comes up with it that celebration led to the unsportsmanlike penalty in the ball and just can't get the defender during the celebration [Music] they get the balls a 43-yard line and handed off the gun won't fit immediately micros slams the door in his face Mike Riley in the first half was 20 and 22 this two incompletions late in the first half 205 yards two touchdowns he doesn't care if they were penalty aided drives or not the execution was there the only disappointment for Riley I think in that first half is the fact they didn't finish the bounce-back drive after Calgary had scored that last Drive was down to the one-yard line no points out of them could have taken a real stranglehold on the game [Applause] second and 11 John White with walking in front reaches the 49-yard line he'll be short of the first down and the punt team will come on six catches the game for white 2 has been used warp in that department then as a running back so far this evening when swirling a piston big man are to get a real game job what kind of factors will be here's the second half building up to 21 to with the return 45 leave Dickinson talked about him having a different speed than most and he showed it there please there must be something you can do some good field position for Bo Levi Mitchell on this drive because of the return Terry Williams get some help in that return game by backup linebacker named Holly all a number 40 does his job at the line of scrimmage to slow his man down and then a nice block right at the point of attack [Applause] what he's brought to the special teams make the club on the team's work your way into the starting line so after the first two and up by BC it's counter at the ball and there's Matt wasn't tripping up Gamble's on the jet sweep but 71 brought the hammer down yep he born after Thor brings the hammer down his nickname back in college he steps up TCU and called Thor you could tell but that seemed pair loss of a second at 18 they drop off Mitchell good unload complete TJ leave with the ball hanging up a little bit able to recover and break up the play that's a couple of times now one two because I believe and this one where Bo Levi Mitchell has given his receiver a chance he's put enough air under and to allow them to go up and win that jump on both times his receiver have been in position with both hands there to make the big catch down the field they haven't come up with Fresquez it had a big touchdown catch in week one and a similar play each BC in the brief season here's Brandon Rutley with a decent return up beyond the 30-yard line sold 19 for roughly on that return Mike Riley getting set to go back to work has been sharp so far this evening 21:23 with a couple of touch [Music] nhf free-agent frenzy comes your way monday join James MT Bob McKenzie Darren Dreger pure front and the rest of the crew as they Trek up-to-the-minute news rumors and bring the big transactions of the day known as Bob's already broken one today coverage gets underway 11:00 a.m. Eastern eat specifically on TSM phil kessel dhawan arizona coyote [Applause] you're the Lions overthrow intended for Birnam incomplete corey greenwood tracking him it will be second and ten BC Roberson was showing short corner blitz which is uh is a blitz you don't see very often he was sneaking in trying to give Mike Riley to look like he was gonna come you have to have confidence to do that and then he dropped out of there to a notes on their last series [Music] second detail Burnham the intended target and clicked there was a pull on his jersey Riley slow to get up but no flags Burnham wants to get a challenge here and it did look like he had the Jersey tucked well it depends on was it tucked after the tip at the line of scrimmage because if that balls hit at the line as it's released that was Cordero law on the spin move it's tipped there then the timing is off and there is no P I know challenge so another two and oh I punch not deep fielded by Williams at the 39 and he stretches out around the 49 let's update some injuries here's Jermaine Franklin thanks CCES JaJuan brassicas in just walked back to the room it looked like he hit his head on that last play of long one also defensive lineman Ivan McLennan will not return he's in street clothes and neither will defensive back Brandon Smith so the Stampeders continuing to see you guys go to the ir right now that's tough the injuries on the defensive line in week one and now to on defense one on offense here in the first half they impose a kitchen midfield he is a pickup of nine dropped at the BC 52 fundamentals remember ambles dropped that one in the first half that was a very similar route right across the middle ball thrown in the exact same spot this time he concentrated he stuck with it he kept his eyes on the ball until it was secured big game second and two Jackson first down just inside the 50 he's been told to stay patient on Jackson gets a little irritable he's a feisty guy and when the yards aren't getting chewed up he can get a little anxious just his fourth carry for 11 22 in Game one so they'll screen it to him here and well defense by gearing beaters on the corner and he just gets back to the line of scrimmage and those goes down go down as receptions but that's just an extended running play in the Calgary offense to just flared on Jackson out of the backfield like that and just a little swing pass get him out into space and it's very difficult again that short side corner is in a bind he's got to leave his man come out and make an open field tackle that time Gary Peters got the job done second and nine on the cusp of field goal range lie enjoy Roger Rogers got the catch in front of safety Brandon Dozier clutch first down for the Stampeders Aaron Grimes was showing halfback and he showed it just a little early and it gave it gave bully by Mitchell a chance as soon as the halfback goes on the Blitz the hot rod is automatically to the slot this time it's Eric Rogers he realized it you've got to give him space if you're Brandon Dozier the safety coming down and cover off on Aaron Grimes blitz recognized by Bolivar Mitchell and his receiver 13/4 Rogers Mathilda throw again what's Rogers again readjusted to the ball but great coverage from TJ Lee the all CFL DP last year yeah I thought he was arguably the best DB in league last year I mean there were a few good ones but TJ Lee TJ Lee had a monster season and second in the CFL after a couple of weeks and tackles I mean he's getting involved again this year you can't cover Eric Rogers any better than that weighted was patient when the ball arrived so at the top of the route they were both trying to fight that look right into the Sun second half neutral three four seven here jumps heat another hot rub this one it complete intended for ambles the drive stalls ready for enough's will come on seeing Brandon Dozier make some plays and he was involved in that one again he recognizes it he's a veteran been around the CFL added to the lineup to help with the communication enrich do blurs defense back there at the backend and those are jump that little slant route all time field goal Pacific percentage leader two for two in the season-opener surveying this from 43 and break down the middle it's a nice point BC lead Stampeders chipping away here as Brenna's connects a 43-yarder makes it 22 13 pcs a night football concert series is coming to the man Stadium on July 18 at halftime enjoy live music from the northern Pikes this is one Thursday night you won't want to miss get your tickets today at Stampeders comm slash tickets if hitters try to avoid back-to-back home launches to kick off 2019 in a first for a first down enough beyond the 45 yard line physical play off the right side soup chunk leading the way on the right side of that offensive line and right behind him is is John white watch him just hit it young gets out onto that second level once you get on to the linebacker and Corey Greenwood that's the guy who's supposed to scrape and try and make the tackle on burning back he can't get through a three Chuck that's the initial first down of the second half for BC dishes off to the kitchen across midfield for back-to-back first downs and now over 100 yards of combined off its for number three in this event McMann and back-to-back runs for four white different different plays but back-to-back times when he has the ball in his hands and he's not messing around with a lot of moves at the line of scrimmage he's just hitting eight catches last year he has seven here this evening 73 yards through the air 33 on the ground first down of the 50 wait again the zookeeper made the catch weight have been laughing he does well to make the grab and get three now right there Mike Riley would go over and say that's that's my fault I can give it to y'all in front of you so you can keep your eyes downfield see once he turns like this now to catch that in behind it that was a good catch just to come up with it now he's got to go and regroup it allows the Calgary defenders to close on there's coach Nick Lewis as his I'm line still has his tailgate buddies out in the back McMahon Stadium yeah we're an influence nation [Music] second and seven rafi good the burger it was almost available for a Stampeder defender well you know Birnam though does it all right except for seal the catch because when he when he runs this curl he takes the extra step back towards the ball he's he's gonna come back and and make sure that the defender can't cut underneath it see how it comes back to it just textbook stuff and just didn't secure the catch [Music] which Castile not deep again [Applause] Dosher forces a moment of flag down us no yards against BC and it will be 15 so good field position for Calgary coming back after a defensive play here to force the Lions off the field matchup between Mike Riley and Bo Levi Mitchell with Borg here again to Reed Franklin thanks CC there are many ways to find success and all you have to do is look at these two quarterbacks now both Bo Levi Mitchell and Mike Riley had scrambles in their previous games Bo Levi Mitchell tucked the football and as soon as he saw trouble he slid and protected himself Mike Riley on the other hand tucked the football went for a run saw danger and went right court a massive collision ensued now of course both quarterbacks were fine but the difference is Mike Riley truly believes he can make something out of anything no matter what the play pulled Levi Mitchell has the confidence that he can make up for any play on the next play - brilliant quarterbacks get been done in different ways contrast and their styles but there's bridge ISA daddy with his first catch of the game and it's a stamp Peter first out near midfield and in different styles of game different styles of leadership different styles and there's not one right answer because you can get it done in different ways six different receivers short drop on the money to Rutgers for another stamp feeder first down and Bo Levi Mitchell has that great accuracy in release time I mean he gets it out of his hands quickly he sees the right thing and he's in his receivers are running the right routes boy that decision-making process is lightning fast you complete reaching back for it I was clueless unable to dick that off the turf yeah Michael glucose got in behind Gary Peters on the short side that play was designed to just hit the flat route get second and medium the flat route being this one right here but glucose goes down the sideline and actually gets in behind Gary Peters and then Mitchell season recognize him say it tries to sidearm it doesn't quite get it there the second and 10 BC with a three-man front [Music] you gotta eat it back at the 52 that likely takes them out of field goal range they do it the wind at their back but thick neighbor will come on to try and hit the corner the rock Carter back on the return game for BC paper does with this nun deep on the turf and Carter let it bouncing that will cost them real estate as it bounces down to the board yeah and that's that's the one where Carter had to make the catch well you hurt Jermaine Franklin talk about the contrasting styles we asked bull Levi Mitchell to talk about Mike Riley's running styles in the beginning I say why Mike you know like when he runs the ball down the middle of the field and there's two linebackers standing there you know I think I know Mike in the competitor he is and we're all competitors but I think I just think sometimes Mike wants to get hit one once or twice to lock him in you know you can kind of see sometimes I have to get city turned back and he starts talking you know crap to the other guys I think that kind of locks him in a little bit need lights day and you have to do that you know you've got to be that guy that's what you do you know but me personally I have ascended you know it's long it's a long long season a lot different in the in the running totals Reilly almost six hundred yards rushing last year where Mitchell was under 100 Lebanon it is Gary's but again not how to right or wrong way another two-time champion then he'll do it on the next time he gets a chance to throw it or hand it to his running backs do the heavy lifting in the run game [Applause] the whole here there is a big play to move the cheese tip catch for Birnam in the game that 4:13 oh they're catching the catching the Calgary defense in a lot of zone looks and when you run his own looks you have to back off for the deep receivers you just simply have to you can't let anyone in behind you so you back off for the deep receivers and that little push to the flat from from Brian Burnham now opens up [Applause] a pulley the game on defense one on one down here for Daryl Wyeth stand up position it up inside along with the tackle on John White a little further now when your second and seven second and eight right in that second and long zone that that play-action push road is difficult Brett Brett Watson now is he go to straight man-to-man and try and get a little more pressure or you gonna drop bomb and try rally to that push low second seventh and the get feed mother berm again a payoff for Brian burner brahim Wilson with the tackle Mike Riley called him the most polished receiver he's ever had in his arsenal colonnade and Riley goes to this matchup member of Raheem Wilson has room for Brad Horner into that halfback spot now he has to take the inside away from Burnham he she knows that burrows and so does Riley they run the out cut timing he's there and no Robert Robinson trying to steal it leaving his man Burton had five catches in the opener [Applause] [Music] so valuable as a receiver out of the backfield here today we're really using the entire field the offense for BC here tonight they're they're using the sideline they're using the wide field getting a little of that play action going and they've established a run game early on in the first half so that's can work better Darius Jackson with a much better game plan and the actual management of the game and then the first two weeks at first down means unless they turn it over the country done on offense with the wind at their back jet sweeten to Carter Darryl [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and the fly got squashed form tackle no illegal hit there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] marked it back that the original line of scrimmage ii attend should be the final play [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the first doubt check Johnson with the catch and that's his first of the game the seventh different receiver for Riley on the evening and that is the final play of the third quarter the BC Lions driving calgary cutting into the lead it's a nine-point BC ascetic and 3/4 times [Music] two teams trying to get off the schneid and win their first of 2019 stats a B C's in control but nine points that must not feel safe yet well some long drives I mean even that drive D to end the half for the BC Lions that went the length of the field and they came away with no point so they can't be comfortable when they look at the scoreboard but they have to be comfortable with their offense in the way that they've improved over the first two weeks of the season more balanced spread and out using the entire field Mike Riley real close to 300 yards passing in fact bully by Mitchell would be closer and over well over 200 if not for a couple of drops on deep balls for him but this offense from BC much improved I ins have to win to the fourth quarter and they have a first down at the Calgary 48 take the white over the middle that goes in lamar durant another Kenshin another lion first down see that that play because of the fake and what it does to the linebackers that play doesn't work if white is not established in the first half they run him and now that it's established this play fake holds the linebacker doesn't let him drop underneath the receiver and get in the throwing lane and Lamar Durant says ok I'll take [Music] 4:47 for the Centennial High School product and with that my granny will go over 300 once again [Applause] [Music] forty fourth time in his career that Riley has passed for over 300 yards bounced back even after 149 in Edmondson talk about your back [Music] [Applause] Willson slowed him down McManus in on the tackle six more for John White almost looks like this Calgary defends their third injuries their change is coming in and their injuries getting their hands on their hips now saw the time of possession 27 to 17 after three quarters that starts to wear you down a little bit especially the big boys up front Lions have concluded on second down at 76% second four underneath birth begins until mean contained in brought down the field goal unit will be brought on for Devon Claybrooks but a time-consuming positive Drive comes away with real real makeable chip shot field goal and katoa was the first layer Burnham the second he catches for Birnam [Music] [Applause] and now Castile up and through and it's a 12-point BC lead just shy of the 3-minute mark in the fourth quarter Ed McMahon of course late answering the call we wondered if the lines would do a better job protecting Mike Riley will you be the judge only one sack this time a better day running Riley completing 14 straight out of the gate much better performance overall CC sits it has been impressive so far it's a 12 point lead but Stampeders big catch into lion territory to try and kick start this boy it really feels like when Mitchell gets in trouble he is looking for apples he's trying to find chemistry too with the new receiving core guys he's lost like the forest Daniels Kamara Jordan not in the lineup for the Calgary Stampeders so he's trying to find that chemistry and it's been a hapless 28 brambles have first down 47 yard line Jackson tossed out by Malik Harris market the 42 yard line so pickup of about five should know him well stew blurs getting that that read and react defense going it takes time I mean at first two weeks it's it's difficult for new guys to get it Brandon daughters addition to the secondary has helped because he's got experience and he'd communication get him all together upper Mitchell his second touchdown of the game and it is a one score game one for two again [Applause] Eric Rogers is the number two receiver to the wide field lots of room there and lots of options for him running routes he bends it inside and freezes his man I think it's TJ Lee who gets in that trail position in his in trouble three plate touchdown drive now try to get it within four [Music] [Applause] [Music] strong hands of Eric Rogers at 2.4 and it is thanks the number for old Levi Mitchell with his favorite target and his scheme on here at McMahon [Music] Eric Rogers been targeted eight times has six catches the last to first his second major watches he's going to bend this in and then take it down the seam on TJ lead just freezes them without the lid side then uses full speed to get down there now on the two-point copper his next catch and target this isn't a lazy rope by Eric Rogers this is using as the the mental side of the game to find the hole and just almost casually get to that open area win two touchdowns in the game his 20th career Canadian Football League touchdown [Applause] [Music] besides we're gonna win this game they've been in the trail position all evening but now pcs got somebody close in the rear view mirror the rich to blur right back to that iPad take a look and make sure that he checks out that coverage we saw Brandon Dozier come down on the on that deep route to Aaron Rodgers and try and Rob the hole and left TJ Lee and a bit of a bind in behind a mare garages took advantage of it they want to illuminate that in the next series Lions led 22 to one sits in Calgary is hopes chord BC 22 3 [Applause] first production and very close to a first down for John White bought his he loveth carry the game every team deals with changes and deals with some losses and free agency and the NFL and things like that that's the first time I think watching Calgary through the preseason and the first week of the season that I can say that they they miss Alex singleton in a big way in this game in the middle of just the the change in the John White action from tackle tackle or sideline to sideline has put up has made it difficult for these linebackers high and the injuries mount that would be another key loss Jamar wall the strong side linebacker at eat your vet remember Brandon Smith left in the first quarter a 12-year veteran Ivan McLennan Juwan breast Kison have been hurt Brandon Smith is the heart and soul guy he's been gone for most of the game that was an early injury all up he Bendrick looked like this is a bit of friendly fire here as I think Roberson got a piece of him knees locked like he made money Danny with John White - and my just walking that off look like he'll be ok he has to sit out three plays now Don huffnagel may have to get on the on the phone and take a look at at replacing some injured players we'll see remember brzeska sons gone on offense second short yardage at the end by Riley to get the first down time consumed his stuff to in so much player movement away from Calgary at the end of the season only 12 starters from the great cup far back singleton Johnson Joe Garrett Davis Jumeirah Thurman Adam Berger Emmanuel Davis C Hyundai Evans all gone off that top ranked defense for a year ago [Applause] turning it up here you get to a point where we're Calgary defensively in order to have more success on first down they're going to have to with just a you know but nine minutes left in this game and want to win it they got to load the line of scrimmage and try and run blitz and what that means get the linebackers or even from the secondary a half backup and involved on the line of scrimmage and go ahead and fill every gap and blitz on first down the problem is if Riley goes to play action on first down now you've got one on one down the field to do receivers on the second and short and white has another first down he had sixty yards on 12 carries prior to that he's getting close to his career average of five point five yards a carry came into the game at two point three yards that carry for the first two weeks Matt's the thirtieth first down the BC Lions and that's why they have the big edge and time of possession because they're getting that bubble in the run game it's like Mike Riley got the motivated this week wanted to be more physical I liked how he said it too and I mentioned the first half but how he said you don't want a butt-kickin like we got physically on your resume it happens you don't want to ever happen again and he he had something to say to the entire team after the game and they've responded now can they hang on no fourth quarter points last week you would think [Applause] points to make sure a victory here today first down to get a foot down officials are gonna talk about it no ruling yet and now they say incomplete way it was close the ruling on the field is incomplete pass Durant goes up oh I looked like he may have he he tapped that right foot down I think did the left foot hit first though the challenge flag has come out the PC spotters think he did get that right foot down first well you know in this such a key moment in the football game it's it's a good challenge by Devon clay Brooks who had a challenge in the first that turned into a touchdown after the MacLennan roughing the passer call BC is challenging if there was a catch on the play we'll review the play and this is an example of why the change was made that if you get the first right you get another so an important call up coming back to the verdict after this after ruin rule after review the ruling on the field is overturned we have a completed pass at the 31 and a half yard line first down BC and Devon clay Brooks is money on his challenges because when we went back and look it looked in live-action that the the left foot was out of bounds first but that right toe touches just before the left foot hits the white stripe man it was the right call the right challenge in Claybrooks wins another one thick lamar Durant goes to the Trevor Harris tap dance school because that was you can see the feet either in watch right foot touches their left foot not on the white stripe yet and that is an example where slow motion does happen probably the the only time where the official should use slow motion to get it right turns out to be a big first down Riley play-action inside of goes or Burnham down at the 21 brought down by Rahim Wilson well that's that's a you know monster play I mean both of Claybrooks challenges one turned into eight points to start this game in fact was a was a fourteen point swing because remember in that first challenge Roberson had scored on an interception touchdown that came off the board they put eight [Applause] the workforce job white dragged down by micros now key down here Calgary Stampeders keep it to a field goal and a seven-point difference on possession difference down at this second itself [Applause] my Briley's completed ten in a row under the gate with 14 consecutive completion second at seven [Applause] and they don't get the playoff or little movement the head of the staff couple flags procedure BC number 61 five-yard penalty remains second down and and that changes the play call because BC had a play called where they've been runnin all game long where they push either receiver or John White out to the flat about four or five yards past the line of scrimmage they could have done that in second and seven now second and 13 you got to drop back and throw it or get play-action going and throat [Applause] openness Duran Duran's with second-ever back in the game with the tackle but like to read with that extra step gut close to the first down well close enough close enough BC go ahead and go for it take more time off the clock get the first down in a new set and this is just second effort by SF Hughes Lamar Durant stepped right there is he out of bounds there they take a look at that but he extended and got right to the marker and gotten third down coming out there down tootling short but that's all for the former stamp Peter feed his return and now five catches 83 and a touchdown which is about what they expect out of Lamar Durant they think he can become one of the premier receivers in the league a primary guy is al both in Herbie and Mike Riley have described his potential looking at their lineup [Applause] he gives a compliment for [Applause] he was a few years ago interesting [Applause] [Music] certain inches the plunge with the 40 from Mike Riley between behind Jia's WAP sukjong and Hunter Stewart I'm just gonna take another quick look at where Lamar travel time now Elle's Calgary Calgary was calling time out now so they he catches it here and if his foot steps out the ball is marked there so that would be if that's out of bounds and clearly the official don't think so because the marker is here better look as far as the perspective where that that's the foot right there and you can see where the marker was that's all that's almost two yards in front of where that foot touch now Dickinson would have had the challenge to take another look at it he's been toe tapping up and down the sidelines on this drive maybe he did take the tap-dancing books they're taking time off the clock a prolonged drive here five first downs on the drive most important 10 yards of real estate for the Stampeders tonight to a field goal they're still in this Drive extending over five minutes now that Peters had a huge stock at the end of the first half quickly into the hands of better huge play by Robertson Daniel and it will be second and goal from the ten so there's what they do first down remember I mentioned first down because of the run game just go ahead and low up the line of scrimmage run run blitz eight guys up there on the line on first down saying that's it if you're going to give it to John White we're going to load the line take the caps away so what does BC do they try and get it outside and hope the bernam can make one man miss their burrow [Applause] second a goal [Applause] great call by Jerez jackson under the gun in the last two weeks vanilla play calling and not getting the run game going not having the variety in the offense but the coordinator came ready tonight and he has made the key call with an athletic quarterback that's the design play with a blocker out front for Mike Riley called quarterback draw with a guy who you know get that extra one if he gets contact at the one yard an impressive drive to fortify the lead here Mike Riley capped it first touchdown run of the year for a guy that hit paydirt 13 times last year and Castillo adds the convert and it's an 11-point advantage [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the timing on the call haven't run it all night I don't think I'm not sure they running all year haven't seen every game to all the game filled but I don't think they've run this all year and to pull it out of the Hat right there he just got Calgary scrambling huge Lane had a man out front in wha just leading the way for Mike Riley love the call from Darius Jackson 12 plays 76 yards and they take 650 off the clock and the former Notre Dame quarterback like the look of that upstairs [Music] just under four minutes left I know what bow has left Terry Williams again fixed the reverse and Williams out around the 30-yard line well they were they marched down field in a hurry on their last drive for plays let's see what Mitchell can come up with here but that takes the wind out of your sails I mean to make it a two-possession game on a six-minute drive now you've just watched well that's tough now if it's a seven-point game there's little cars jumping your step obviously [Music] that goes Don Jackson Jackson up beyond the 40 for a first down so there's the start Jackson's gonna go to the sidelines and Terry Williams checks back in the other thing that I think the BC Lions have improved upon tonight is their tackling in the open field on Jackson 16 yards rushing earth Madrid with six tackles gayly Peters as for Dozier almost had an interception on that pass over the head of the intended target Rodgers just a bit of an overthrow second of ten [Music] three-man rush pass is caught by ambles Peters all over him Peters excuse me his eight tackle of the game he's been busy and this looked like yeah Mitchell was showing some discomfort prior to that last throw and now even more as he holds the right shoulder her bump is starting to warm up you always like Riley a 10 yard touchdown run that has the Lions celebrating an 11-point lead at the treatment of warning her while this has become the biggest story of the night Bo Levi Mitchell has gone to the sidelines but checking out his throwing arm the throwing shoulder this was the the pass when he first showed some discomfort nothing there and started to luncheon one more throw he's out there card buckles in and a flag down complete the Jackson on this near sideline we check the flight that's when we first saw him gesturing that yeah yeah it was not comfortable and it might have been a player too before that that we saw because you know he he went in offside bc number 11 five-yard penalty first down he was trying he was trying to work it out and just loosen it up again and then he threw he threw that sideline throw to ambles and and that's where it was clearly evident you came right to the side during the break he he looked like he tried to throw once and it just wasn't comfortable at all again the Jackson Gary Peters who's been stout on the corner makes another tackle and Herpen Reed jaws with Jackson after the play so Nick Arbuckle in relief here back over his College stats in 2015 number seven in all of college football in passing yardage at Georgia State and he's got bagels after the catches of the 40 and the Stampeders not gonna go quietly they've got another first down times the enemy now though and boy they got to get bagel ttan more involved early and often time out in South Calgary stamps used their time out forth catch for bagel ttan in the game for 32 yards prime target ambles eight catches 86 and Rodgers 6 for 85 and a pair of touchdowns grabs you almost think right now our buckles got to take a couple shots right now close enough to the end zone to get it to the goal line on a regular route I'm talking not Hail Mary just run a row and take a shot Rodgers down at the bottom right there Odell jumps the gun again night awesome air sac you see number 11 five-yard penalty first down he got one today he matched the total of the great will Johnson the former stamp Peter whom currently sits 12th all-time first of five go through the sack second sack of the gate for the Lions inside move by Odell and then a little bit of a stunt here to try and create some problems little inside move they get Darius Allen coming out and around the edge and Coleman with a push now Arbuckle the Rogers plate up in the target two guys in the same line of fire but ampuls claims it and it's a first down step Peter Hamill's didn't wait to see he didn't wait to see who was the intended target he went got it that's what he did took a hit on the play too from Chris Edwards 22 yards on that play so ampuls over 100 [Music] [Applause] by grimes otherwise he might his Court did rule it a catch so he look he lost the handle but it was after he was down took a couple steps down my contact the elbow touched and about Nick Arbuckle here got them driving second and one down inside the BC ten yard line still time [Music] pressure coming [Applause] with the first down dropped around the three big tackle by TJ Lee there to hold him out of the end zone and maybe take another shave another 10 15 seconds off scoring and scoring quickly important now we got Jackson here the gold line is he in the official there says no Fred Cooper the umpire says it's second and goal for the one now they will review this because it was a potential scoring player at least they should be as far as the command center going well they're lining up but Arbuckle is good on the Stampede intently on flag so we'll sort out the plague but the tackle by TJ Lee and the blade made at the goal line to keep Don Jackson BC number 95 that penalty is declined the result of the play was a touchdown took 12 seconds I took 12 seconds off the clock so Darius Allen offside still some good work and relief by Nick Arbuckle here to drive the field and gaps Cabot and give them some light they tell me no lead is safe there's three big plays still needed for Calgary to get it done this is one of them [Music] [Applause] boy he is muddy his name prize money when there's no safety help I mean it's impossible to cover he's got that great range catch radius for Eric Rogers outstanding so Erin Grimes all by himself over the middle it's just too much room those years up in the line of scrimmage he's trying to take away any scream play or any play to the flat so it leaves it leaves Erin Grimes all by himself and again with with Eric Rogers put it out there in front of them and that look at that wingspan goes up against it 13 plays 80 yards and Nick Arbuckle his relief of an injured bully by Mitchell 6-4 6-4 55 yards and he sneaks in for the touchdown yes this is where sorry Chris is where Marc Killam comes in and he gets his special teams group together you can see the onside kick sheet getting ready there and he's getting that all up and set up to load up one side of the field now there's other options you don't have to kick it to the loaded side you can fake like your kick in there and go back the other way to your point about the extra 10 15 seconds they might have used if it was outside of minute 30 there might be consideration to kick deep yeah are you right in that bubble area yeah I mean even at 130 at this point probably going on side with the way Mike Riley's we're in front of the BC offense but but you know at 140 145 you are kicking it deep let's see [Applause] six erotic let go clipped his head a shot at it and the Stampeders sick they're up with it he is Calgary football when athletic play by Michael glucose to go up there and keep that ball alive I thought he was going to catch it in stride and just take off with it Devon Claybrooks can't believe the play just made nice kick by Brett is to get enough air under to give him time to get there I thought he had that and was going to run with it I think Erika Rodgers may have come up with it at the bottom of the pile as clew kasoke jumped Brian Burnham wit McManus is in the area there's Rogers at the end and I think you did get it yeah I think it's number four how about this one first down away from tying the game but time to win it exactly exactly a 119 no reason not to put the pedal to the metal and go and try and win it so they were down by 11 with 242 to go they lose their starting quarterback they're going into the wind and now got him right where they wanted is that what you're saying the Nick that's what judge buck pickles say 48 yards away just reviewing what the command center where this ball should be placed and they're going to move it back to the 52 and that is going to be the start for Calgary by the way their points in the opener against Ottawa were their two touchdown drives were scored when skirt starting on the opposing side a half Center screen is cotton white Bengal it sitting down to the 42 at 1:13 left Calgary can run their offense they don't have to force it they don't have to press it they're in field goal range in another 10 yards any way to go to overtime second and short Jackson [Music] Lent today but now by a couple of scores at least for most of the day and and the BC defense right now Chris in a bit of a blind they don't want to give him up one him behind them but they can't be too soft first down for our Buffalo 'king down field [Applause] it's a catch at the 11-yard line for Ritchie's and Danny Tandy come up with that I thought this is a gutsy throw from Nick Arbuckle to step in there and throw the DeGroat with Aaron Grimes all over it send Danny goes down and gets it that guard buckle is hitting on all eight of his passes now there's really no hurry no you don't want to leave too much time on the flock the other way they're gonna review from upstairs to make sure said Danny did catch it and did not trap it previous play is under review by the command center SATA 3 minutes undercooked review by the command center now I don't see Hardy tell I don't see evidence there that would overturn it call on the field is catch and I don't see evidence there that would overturn it I think this is going to stand it it is closed maybe this angle gives you know doesn't either clutch stuff from the former Campbell turned in Regina second year head to come on and start the Western Final Four Juwan breast goes into backing now for an injured bresca Sinan they have made one of the place of the game taking a long time on this review because clear and obvious wasn't accomplished there after review the ruling on the field stands and the mandate from the command center clear and obvious mistake made on the field we saw the replays wasn't clear obvious okay what is it first a joke merchant five yards closer staggered can't live BC number 11 five-yard penalty remains first down after the game that this offense put on the board for BC Mike Riley can do nothing but watch from the opposite side line 28 Mike Riley's watch believable holy by Mitchell's watch and Nick Arbuckle is in position to win it first bar [Applause] take it down by Isaiah whose lack Messam you know there is an extra DP another nice drive by Arbuckle but this last four yards of it is the toughest first half ended on a goal line stand by the Stampeders lions tryna do the same it's three for Rutgers and it's a stampede early [Applause] are you watching this well dave dickenson if this scores holds Candace cuss fighting through adversity with his football team and how if you stick with it stay focused no matter what happens there's always a chance especially in Canadian football to come back because they lost their starting quarterback they needed to execute it onside kick they were down two possessions inside the 3-minute warning I mean you you talked about the odds [Applause] neighbors wall together town good with a flag four-point lead 31 seconds to go so boat gets hurt something's wrong with the throwing arm he can feel it on this throw too many medals over a sea penalty is declined PC had a two-possession lead at that point our buckle takes over doesn't have an incompletion they needed a two-point cupboard by needing an onside kick God and with the backup quarterback throws a dart over the middle to get him in scoring range down by three he gets it done in the back of the end zone there at Roger Wow last time we saw Mike Riley it appeared he put the game away you have been back on the field since a 10-yard touchdown run that many but might have been in Porton for bc2 to take this ball and get their positive yards but get down and give Riley a couple of throws don't extend this kick return too long what's left Edwards Rutley your back we'll be roughly just being on the 30 31 yard line I might have squib that kick along the ground Calgary does that it usually eats up another second or two Riley's got two maybe three throws if he's quick work the sidelines you know Calgary defensively are going to play that umbrella look they're going to take away the ceiling and not allow anything deep down the field or at least be back there from a secondary point of view that gives riders couple underneath you get some inside [Applause] because BC maybe a step here [Applause] intended for kerger agates Trey Robertson had the wrong Carter back there and this is his wheelhouse and Carter's going to become that impact player for the BC Lions it's the play they need him to make he's in behind coverage which is amazing because they're playing to stop the deep ball but Roberson makes up ground gets a hand in there and wins the jump ball [Applause] with the logic [Applause] the [Applause] Cordero long what a comeback for the Calgary Stampeders [Applause] see who God and whether or not Mike Riley was in the throwing motion the quarry Greenwood knocked it out of his hand Mike roses in the neighborhood all turnovers reviewed of course boy tough to see from that angle whether or not the ball came out before the arm went forward for Riley he looked like he was talking a little bit about it on the sidelines was it Greenwood that's that tapped it out of there just before he started that forward throwing motion he tackles for Greenwood yes it was left hand knocked it away and now the Stampeders have probably just waiting for confirmation this might be a bubble it it is that's a fumble get the official call on the field from Tom Alessi that's a fumble [Applause] I needed that really on the field stands Cory Greenwood said I needed that I mentioned Scout real I'm bad news it was a tough night tonight victory formation they'll take one more but we said there might be Canada Day fireworks we have them and not just from Mike Riley and Bo Levi Mitchell the final shots fired by Nick Arbuckle and it's an improbable encounter Eastham Peter wind as they - taken 36 to 30 - well we got a name a player of the game and it depended on it went down to the last one 30 seconds to determine who was going to win it but he saw Titan player of the game brought to you by that he's unsafe official vehicle of the Canadian Football League honorable mention to Mike Riley over 300 honorable mention to John Wright Brad Avakian had the Lions won it was probably right but how do you not go back to the huge comeback the Calgary Stampeders and the performance of Eric Rogers who had three touchdowns couple of two-point converse and when you think about it the last one most important from the backup quarterback Nick Arbuckle he also recovered the onside kick which they had to as for Arbuckle nine for nine off the bench for 93 yards C threw for one touchdown he sneaked into the endzone for another on a wild Saturday night at McMahon definitely a gave of the Year candidate here tonight between these two Western combats Stampeders even their record at one and one of the Lions fall to only at three we will see you at Mosaic Stadium tomorrow barkos of Rough Riders so long everybody
