Top 10 takeaways from Stampeders' season-opening loss to Lions yyc
The decline in attendance over the last five years is a big concern. There’s work to be done. I just happen to believe that the Stampeders have already begun doing it.They’ve won only two of their last seven, with one tie and four losses. For those wondering why I picked seven seasons, that’s how long I’ve been covering the team and when Dave Dickenson took over as head coach, so it’s not as arbitrary as it sounds.
It was a foot/toe injury, though, and the Stamps do seem hopeful that he’ll be available next week against the host Ottawa Redblacks. It was just one of those tough moments. The Lions quarterback was definitely down — you could see it on the replay. But in the heat of the moment and in the middle of a fast and physical game, you could fully understand why Roberson thought he needed to make the tackle. It’s one of those plays where the ref made the right call, but you can’t help but feel bad for Roberson. Tackling Adams might have been the right play, even if it wasn’t.
At game’s end, Odoms-Dukes had seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown. You can’t complain about that. That’s not really how the Stamps used him Thursday, and it didn’t really feel like they used him that way all that much in 2022, either. Either way, the Stamps didn’t put Adams under the pressure that you’d have liked to see. He had too much time in the pocket, plain and simple.“I feel like we’ve got to be better on our twist game — we’ve got to penetrate more, and we’ve got to get in his face more,” Dickenson said. “But those guys haven’t played together a lot, and I’ve got to look at, as well. Did I give them enough in pre-season? You don’t want guys to get hurt. You don’t want to lose your stars.
Williams should be back soon, possibly as early as next week, and you’d expect the unit to grow and improve as they get more time together.Article content
