Cfl sound familiar heisman trophy winner doug flutie also started out in the nfl but he’s found a home in canada four mvps one great cup flutie is the premier quarterback in the league alan pitts is explosive in the canadian football league he is mr touchdown deep supponges
They don’t calm the sponge for nothing and on defense in calgary you have to answer to the pope wally puano he’s got all the tools tonight it’s time to go to work forest greg was three and 15 last season but that was then they beefed up their attack
Rod harris has come over from sacramento curtis mayfield is in from the posse and cfl vet wayne walker is back for his second season with the pirates cfl live tonight’s game from independent stadium in shreveport louisiana the calgary stampeders versus the shreveport pirates good evening and welcome to the cfl on
T.s santa i’m darren detitian it’s hard to believe that this is just our second week of football with everything that has gone on so far it has been wonderfully wild and that’s just our games alone it started with ottawa surprising the bombers bc beating baltimore in a frantic finish eric white
His big night for the argos and then last night monsoon type weather in regina and the first ever overtime win at taylor field makes you wonder what’s going to happen tonight one thing we do know is that we’ve got a great matchup at the quarterback position doug flutie has won four straight mvp
Awards enough said but all eyes will be on former nfl billy joe toliver in his first season billy joe’s just trying to make that transition from the nfl to the cfl but he doesn’t have much time the pirates need to win tonight after getting trounced by san antonio last week
Let’s go to leaf patterson and john wells who are standing by and gentlemen while the stamps might be a little weaker this season they still have the pieces in place to make a run at the grey cup well it’s been two years since they’ve been there but with doug flutie at the
Control certainly the stampeders are a threat to be there and when you look at this team leap over the last three years 43 wins and just 11 losses through the regular season it is a proven winner yeah it really is john i don’t see any reason why that
Won’t change in 1995 yes they’ve had to make a few changes brian wiggins and will moore are gone as they’re wide receivers but hey they have pee-wee smith ready to step in and terry vaughn a newcomer he’s a terrific young receiver so they really won’t miss these guys
And i don’t see any reason why they won’t be at the top of the heap come year’s end now on paper the shreveport pirates are a better football team forest greg has more people in place from last year that that he likes in the right positions
Yeah i think you have to look at defense nine starters are back from when they finished the season so he must have liked them and billy joe toliver that quarterback they signed as a free agent he’s their marquee player and he’s got some terrific receivers to work with curtis mayfield rod harris
Wayne walker and freeman basinger that’s a terrific receiving car the only thing is they haven’t played together very long they need time to jail and if they do they should be pretty tough only the second meeting between these two teams and uh suffice to say darren that uh the pirates would rather forget
The first time they met the stampeders in 1994. thanks very much guys time now to take a look at our game story can the shreveport secondary stop cfl record holder alan pitts the pirates offensive line they’re going to have their hands full with will johnson he
Had 17 sacks last year one of the most dominant d-linemen in the league but the stamps had big shoes to fill on the other side of the ball bruce coverington is out that means bruce beaton is in but this is not the only contest going on in the cfl tonight
Tycat fans stay tuned because we’ll have highlights from hamilton throughout the game the contest has already begun it is now three to nothing for birmingham the barracudas walk in and draw first blood the cudas going into the game surprisingly enough but want to know the ti-cats want to know something has to give
One other football game on the slate tonight you’ve got san antonio and baltimore currently tied at three in the first quarter the stallions we’ll update that game as it continues to progress as well let’s go to leaf and john and gentlemen i hope there’s not a gulf storm blowing in
No just a sticky storm it is plus 90 on the old scale 93 degrees fahrenheit as we arrived at independent stadium tonight and they’ve just brought the game ball in by parachutes as the shreveport pirates get set to open their 1995 home season against the calgary stampeders doug flutie has really been
Quite a story down here leaf when everyone has been talking football and talking about this game guy really has you know he he’s a hero in the states you know as you mentioned former heisman trophy winner and for head coach wally wanna what a lucky
Guy he is to have a player like flutie and quite frankly a player that stays healthy like moody does all the running around he’s able to do in the backfield he’s been a great performer for him for us greg hey how about him he gets to
Finally start a full year with the kind of players that he wants john and he had a tough start to his season last year the pirates were owen 14 before forrest gregg finally coaxed a victory out of him 35 degrees celsius not much of a breeze which is
Too bad it might cool things off just a little bit but as we were talking earlier you said not quite as humid as it uh might be in this neck of the woods at this time of the year no it’s really not and there’s billy joe tulliver’s six
Six-year nfl veteran most recently with the houston oilers a year ago his most productive seasons were 1991 90 and 91 with the san diego chargers whom they drafted third player taken in the 1990 nfl draft so i mean at one time he had some terrific credentials
Can he still get it done remains to be seen and there’s the guy they’re all talking about in louisiana at least this week doug flutie in his fourth season with the calgary stampeders is sixth in the cfl and he has had an outstanding career in canadian football with
Touchdowns all over the place and a 57 percent completion percentage during his years in the cfl he can get it done for the calgary stampeders and this year he’ll try and erase a couple of problems that the stampeders have had in their last two seasons they
Have been the best team in the canadian football league through the regular season but the playoffs have been a different story waiting for the coin toss to get things underway they’re just a little bit behind time we’re on louisiana time down here and things do move a little more slowly take it
Slow take it slow pirates have won the tallest that was the story in 1994 when they got together in late october calgary with a 52-8 victory over shreveport you and i did that game late in the season obviously in october it was a cold blustery night in calgary and i must say
That the shreveport pirates did not seem too interested in that game a little late coming up from the warm-up for the warm-up and it just was not going to be your night their night you could tell looking back to that game leaf alan pitts had three touchdowns and
Set a new stampeder record for receiving touchdowns with 19 at that stage of the season well interesting chatting with wally blondo and trying to find out where this team is better obviously they’ve replaced brian wiggins and will moore who were free agents down trying their luck in the nfl but
They are better at fullback sean daniels they got in a trade late last year from saskatchewan and he has really solidified the backfield he and tony stewart it allows them to do a few different things their full back before was merely a blocker but now they have two people back there
That can run the football so they are better at the fullback position in 1995. it’ll be a stampeder kickoff and i think we’re almost ready to get things underway as the pirates drop two beat that’s freeman too deep that’s freeman basinger along with wayne walker number 80. you might remember walker from playing
Elsewhere in the canadian football league couple of years with ottawa brief stop with the hamilton tiger cats yeah basinger started out with sacramento was traded to vancouver and now ends up at shreveport and they do have some terrific speed and talent returning kicks for the pirates tonight mark mclachlan has the football evening
In shreveport underway this is freeman basinger right at the 20-yard line basinger finds a seam and he’s out near the 40-yard line stopped at about the 38. tonight’s starting lineups brought to you by mr sub fresh thinking is what we are and it is billy joe toliver starting at quarterback for the pirates
They believe the nfl veteran will make them a much better team with his play at quarterback the offensive line looks a little bit bigger and a little bit better than last year with a little more cfl experience the receivers are top-notch walker and mayfield on the outside basing her in rod harris
On the inside in the slot it is first and ten for the shreveport pirates they begin at the 38-yard line and toliver works from the shotgun they’re in a hurry up offense already as tolliver goes under and finds freeman basinger for a gain of a couple of yards
And one thing the pirates wanted to do to start this game their offensive coordinator joe barnes told me was to go to a hurry up offense right off the bat for a couple of reasons to try and get some momentum early for shreveport but not allow calgary to make any
Substitutions and hinder their defensive calls and adjustments on second balance to the far side he looks in that direction initially and now throwing on the run situation on the first series for shreveport and you know forest greg really has to go for it here he has to show some confidence in his
Offense and i think he has decided to do just that patton is about a yard short of the first down actually it’s a short yard leaf when you look at it uh from way up here they are going to measure it to make sure the referee in charge of
Proceedings tonight is dave ewell and that’s good for trevor to have them measure it allows them some time to regroup and get everybody settled down and on the same page for what could be a pretty crucial play early in the game good quality like greg’s call here oh absolutely uh
Showing confidence in his offense that they can get the job done less than a yard to go they’re not quite to midfield just shy of the shreveport 50-yard line third down less than a yard to go and oliver himself but there’s some movement on the line the penalty is called
Procedure call that’s tough one because they had the first down and now of course forest greg has no choice but to kick the ball away if it does go against shreveport as it was denied one of the other things you know there’s a team that’s really struggling
For identity had a tough opener with san antonio last week they got hammered pretty good and now a chance to start off with a pretty good drive pick up your initial first down and silly mental mistake on a procedure call means they have to bring robbie keene in
And punt it away that’s tough break early keene with a decent average last week 41.5 yards good charge on keane that time coleman on the return and he stopped after a gain of a couple 33-yard punt that time and stampeder quarterback doug flutie has been
The cfl star of the 90s on a mission to get calgary back to the grey cup again new up front bruce beaton first started left tackle rocco romano will anchor the right side and two new starting wide receivers inside as strong as ever with pitts and sipunges and it’ll be tony stewart
To run the ball for doug flutie and the calgary stampeders yeah you’ll see a lot of number 88 vincent danielson too he’s the backup slot back and he’ll come in when they go to that five receiver set which they like so much splitting in the stampeders beginning at the 32
Little play action here’s some heat on flutie but he gets away from the initial pressure at this time he was sacked three times last week and he’s down early this week as ray savage got through and here’s the defense that the pirates are sending at flutie up front reggie
Rogers and ben williams strong pass rush aldante osbourne is the key to adding some pressure from the middle linebacking spot and former argo jonathan wilson is new on the corner with joe fuller having the most cfl experience in the secondary for shreveport really only three changes on that
Defense from how they finished the season i mentioned that in the opening and boy that must mean that they like the people they finished the year with and that’s a pretty good front four if you don’t get tired procedure call against calgary and flutie’s a little upset looks like the
Newcomer bruce beaton might have taken an early step no score early in the opening quarter at the independence stadium in shreveport louisiana five yards well if he could break the laps of dave he indicated that it was bruce beaton and what a tough break for wally buano
To lose bruce coverton so early in the season here he is watch bruce beaton right there and he moves brings that left hand once the hand comes up that’s it referee blows it dead but to lose bruce coverton who has really been the anchor for the whole
Season early in the year is a tough one to overcome woody from the shotgun facing second and 17. stampeders back at the 25. woody stands up and fires just over the head of vince danielson number 88 shreveport playing an over defense to the field the left side of your screen
And look at the vision downfield for doug flutie kind of surprising that he missed this pass because danielson at 6’3 is tall to begin with but that was a pretty easy ball to complete and boy if you’re shreveport on defense and you see flutie do that early
You have to feel pretty good that maybe he’s not on top of his game at the beginning of this ball game which is always good news to the opposition now there was a penalty called against shreveport for rough play until automatically the calgary stampeders come up with a first
Down at the 40-yard line well that’s the second philly bentley that’s really important this is tony stewart and he is met immediately first through that time was reggie rogers and also the other perry ron perry well reggie rogers watch him work on the nose of jamie criesdale and he just simply overpowers chrystal
Fights through with the right shoulder there takes on the block splits the two of them actually double team with denny cronopoulos and what a play from reggie rogers spent some time with the hamilton tiger cats but that’s the key for shreveport get penetration from your two game this tackles second and ten stampeders
Looks to his right open far side and almost picked off by tony williams number twenty-one now flutie again getting a little bit of pressure up front best thing to do is to run away from it as he does and he is very fortunate tony williams who steps in front of sapunji’s
Doesn’t have the interception shreveport will play six and seven defensive backs against flutie tonight and that’s pretty good first defensive series for them tony martino in for his first punt of the ball game standing back at the calgary 25. high kick deep that’s freeman looking to the outside has a little room
But there’s a marker down 50-yard punt and basinger still on his feet they may call it back raymond basinger takes it all away there is a marker down at the 35. and the indication from referee dave yule an illegal block flipping on the return so freeman’s run will go for not
No score early first quarter three four twenty seven fifteen yards first down time out clipping call against sean lawson we’ll take a look when we return i don’t understand it sign it again peter pat amy no what hey you know i she’s getting tired hey they don’t always understand me either
Being a pilot it’s not just handling the stick controls it’s what goes on up here i’d say i tend to be a detail sort of person in this business if you don’t pay attention to detail you’re dead in this past year we’ve done training for people from
Both the us and canada our advantage 800 number gives us the opportunity to reach these people who are spread over north america it gives us an instant credibility and it puts us in the major u.s competitors the big boys if you want well the third silliest penalty that shreveport has taken tonight
Results in some terrible field position for them a procedure a roughing and now a blocking from behind by number 29 reggie carthage on electric johnson now the thing is if you can’t get your helmet in front i mean coaches have said for a hundred years do not block them
Because the only thing that’s going to happen is the ball is going to be moved 10 yards back this is a terrific return by basinger but by oh my the little things right now and that’s so often happens to a young team or just killing shreveport third penalty of the game against
Shreveport it’s cost 32 yards and a long return there that would have gone for six but the pirates will now begin inside the 15-yard line first down oliver from the shotgun gets some heat in the grasp and fires to an open portion of the field but the play was
Actually whistled down as johnson got through number 81 yeah will johnson had some pretty good heat coming from the outside and the calgary front four is working against a huge freeport line but this is a tough group will johnson you look at his production throughout his career just amazing
All canadian led the staff for eight years john yeah led the stamps and sacks last season with 17. at 15 and 91 cfl sac leader in 1994 as well oliver handing out to patton patton has to get out of the end zone he’s out around the six yard line and forced out there
Finley is in the neighborhood and so is uh zizikovic that’s pretty tough place for shreveport to run with the football and i think billy joe oliver did the best thing i know joe barnes the offensive coordinator is calling a lot of the plays for him tonight but
I think you just have to bite the bullets there they they want to give up the turnover early michael punt may calry earn it this is keene standing about 15 yards deep in his end zone marvin coleman wedding out around midfield so the stampeders on the exchange should have outstanding field position
Keene lifts this one high coleman is well covered but squirted through for about a four yard return 47-yard punt and doug flutie got out of the field for the calgary stampeders 27 000 yards passing in five years and little bits you know where do you start when you talk about
Clooney do you say that he’s four in a row mvps in the league you say that two times in his career he’s been over 6 000 yards uh an accomplishment that no other quarterback in the world has done i mean there’s just so many things to talk about
Where do you start with 179 touchdown tosses he’ll hit 200 before this year is over this is tony stewart and stewart has had a tough time getting out of the backfield tonight reggie rogers 75 was there to meet stuart that time stewart had 93 yards rushing last week
Reggie rogers having a pretty solid first quarter and watch he just takes on the block the left of your screen there there’s 75 and he’s taking on 64 bruce beaton beats him and gets into the backfield on tony stewart for no gain and reggie rogers is cranked up no gain
It’ll be second and two stampeders at the pirates 52 no score 902 to go opening quarter flutie with time and he’s on target to the new receiver on the right side that’s terry vaughn number two bond described by head coach wally buano as a james murphy type receiver
Yeah he’s about same size as murph was vaughn’s about 5’8 murphy a little bit taller but technically an extremely good receiver what wally wano likes about him is when he catches the football he is a tough guy to tackle out there i think he just saw a nice display of that
27-yard gain setting the stampeders up just outside papyrus 25. stewart tries again and this time the hole opens up it is stewart all the way down to the 15-yard line 10 yards the gain what a year tony stewart had a year ago the first stampeder to rush for a
Thousand yards since gary allen did it in 1986 and of course along with that the production was there in the touchdown department but you know they were worried could he play a whole year and not put the ball on the ground a lot and he really
Solved a lot of problems for calgary he was a very steady performer in fact played all 18 games which is kind of unusual for running back these days not quite a first down for tony stewart for the stampeders are awfully close so on second down flutie has an option or two here
He’s got great weapons with sapongis and allen pitts and neither have been involved in the offense so far they will be very quickly perhaps right now yeah i don’t think you have to worry that’s a that is a given yes sir an inside passing team the stampeders
Are they’ve got four receivers to the near side loan back in and flew to himself for the first down on second in a yard you know that looks like a very simple play but when you put four receivers out like they did to the wide side and you put tony
Stewart in motion back weak you don’t need much of a seam to break it to spring doug flutie on that quarterback sneak he has scored on that play in the past stampeders with three first down shreveport still looking for its first 7 28 to go opening quarter stampeders first and ten now to
Shreveport 15. flutie looks to the end zone far side touchdown alan pitts and we just had to mention his name and there he is in the end zone well he made it look pretty easy too working on the rookie number double zero harold nash and nothing fancy about this one and you’ll
See doug flutie’s head he’s looking at pits the whole way never wavers and as pitts makes the break to the outside he works back towards the goal line just enough to keep that separation and it didn’t take long for the calgary stampeders once they had the good field position
A few plays later flutie has them in for their first touchdown they john they made it look kind of easy solid march for the stampeders but they did have decent field position as you mentioned mclaughlin makes it a seven nothing score for the stampeders leading the shreveport pirates
6 58 to go there’s the man alan pitts into the end zone one more time it was early in the day with all systems a-okay mission control what’s that noise uh this is control that was um kellogg’s raisin bran kellogg’s raisin bran what’s in it oh that’s uh two scoops of plump juicy
Raisins and whole grain flakes with bran they were all set to go but you just had to know how many scoops of raisins and a package where’s that kellogg’s raisin bran tsn’s tuesday night lineup packs a punch get ringside as razor runnik comes out swinging against tommy the duke morrison
It’s a knockout the main event patch it up tuesday on tsn the cfl live on tsm brought to you by pepsi pepsi reminds you to be young have fun drink pepsi and buy bell advantage long-distance services from the alliance of canada’s only full-service telecommunications companies welcome back to independence stadium
Where the calgary stampeders have just scored the first touchdown of the ball game alan pitts from doug flutie from 15 yards out 60th career touchdown for alan pitts in a stampeder uniform he’s only two away from the club record for touchdowns held by tom forzani i don’t think there’s any doubt that that
Record will be broken this year is there any record he won’t have one he retires i don’t think so here’s basinger having a little difficulty on the return and he’s out for about a four yard gain after finally picking up the football so again shreveport starting
Deep in their own zone the scoring play took only five plays and two minutes and 52 seconds 52 yards and uh flutie to pitts 15 yards they’ve done it a time or two yeah you look back though the how that whole series was set up it was the
Blocking from behind penalty on the good punt return by basinger now all of a sudden they’re in a hole and before you know what calgary’s course i think it’s really important for billy joe toliver to get a couple of first downs at least to try and get some sort of confidence on
His offense first down tolliver and here’s the heats oliver steps up and has a strike over the middle solid play by toliver as he connected with wayne walker here’s the way the stampeders line up defensively best in the cfl in 94 up front it’s intact with laird zizikovic walker and johnson super
Linebacking core with finley moving to the middle with pope and johnson and marvin coleman and kim phillips have experience but are new on the corners for the stampeders and there’s some early movements kenny walker was across the line for one and i think zizikomik was a strider too early himself
Walker number 99 wonderful sense of humor the strongest player in the calgary stampeders according to some reports offside calgary before the snap five yard first down first and five now let’s hear it everybody pirates at the 49-yard line it’s oliver avoiding the heat markers are down as toliver
Fires to the sidelines montgomery made the catch and stayed in bounds we’ll check on the penalty back at the line number four fred montgomery led the nation in kickoff returns two years running at new mexico state 69 10 yard first down repeat penalty against ben jefferson number 69
The right tackle so they’ll take this one back this reminder for fast friendly services 59-minute photo featuring ben jefferson at the top of the screen he’s the one that’s going to get called for holding here watch as he’s working on the outside yeah there’s the hook right there you
See the left arm right up under the jaw of will johnson i think chuck reed 58 the left guard could have been called as well but once again penalties really the story here in the first quarter quarter for shreveport now it’s first and twenty or first and fifteen i should say
Back from first and five a moment ago oliver can’t get away from the rush this time slowed down by laird and then nailed by zizekovic with johnson actually getting credit for the sack number 81. well the great thing about the calgary defense over the years has been their ability to just
Rush for people and not have to blitz to get pressure on quarterbacks and you know they’ve done that on so many occasions here tonight with having to bring extra people and boy you just become that much tougher covering too second and 16 pirates more heat tollibert trying to get it to the
Junior smith and smith couldn’t make the catch there wasn’t much running room on that side for smith anyway i don’t believe well the problem is they’re trying to set up a screen and you know you have to slow down the rush just a little bit i mean you can’t let them in too
Soon and billy joe toliver really had no time to set that up properly and you know i talked john in the opening that what shreveport needs more than anything else is time to meld together and you can see that they just haven’t haven’t done it in two preseason and one full season game
So far they just look really disorganized out there right now for coleman and coleman retreats to the 15 to take it there coleman got one block and he’s out near the 30-yard line 57-yard kick decent return stampeders first down when we return calgary on top of shreveport 7-0
The all-new mercury mystique drives like no other car in this class with four-wheel independent suspension a 16-valve z-tech engine that delivers the best highway fuel economy in its class as well as 14 other features not found on any other car in its class as for the rest class dismissed
Drive the all-new mercury mystique july this month when it comes to baseball this is where the big games are jay’s expos tsn july this is darren deficient at cfl control you got a good game in hamilton jimmy klingler starting again for matt dunnigan he’ll go to marcus grant he hits the 30.
The 20. it’s touchdown time 86 yards that will make it 10-4 birmingham with the lead in the second quarter bank to leaf and john you know what mcmahon stadium in calgary and commonwealth and edmondson in november when they put the heaters on the sidelines well this is the air conditioning on the sideline
At shreveport and it’s nice and cool standing between those fans down there now i’d have a whole new appreciation for you if you had some pull to get that thing up here yeah it’s a little steamy in the press box tonight penalty is a big part of the story 57
Yards against shreveport and they just tacked on another couple of yards on the return shreveports for unnecessary roughness so calgary gets out across the 45-yard line to begin this drive just helping the field position for doug flutie out just a little bit more with 15 yards
Well you know for forest greg i mean it’s tough enough when you’re a young team playing a top team in the league and to play them straight up and not make mistakes but when you couple it with penalties like this five so far and we’re just barely halfway through the
First quarter that makes your task next to impossible so floaty and the stampeders leading seven to nothing with four thirty four to go on the opening quarter begin at the 46 yard line stampeders scored the last time they had their hands on the football it was floaty to pits
With you to the far side and he has peewee smith who’s forced out peewee smith in his first season as a regular starter for the stampeders but he’s had a stellar career in calgary and in fact last year when you looked at his numbers they were rather impressive 46 for over 800 yards
Well peewee can get it done and he’s getting a chance now to start every single game a nice call on first down the quick screen of the wide receiver horsley is going to come back against calgary holding calgary number 21. 10 yards first down repeated running back tony stewart and
He was throwing the lead block on sean loss in the corner but back to pee-wee smith you know he’s always come in kind of in the five-pack and never had a real chance to be the starter now this is it for him not that he hasn’t had starting
Assignments over his seasons in calgary due to injury but he has never really been listed as a starter at wide receiver it’s his chance this year as the stampeders have to fill in first down in 20 after the call and i’m not sure who flutie intended that for i said
That’s a play they put in for this game it’s the you know three receivers to each side he’s the third receiver top of the field and they just try and get it to him quickly on a kind of a slot back screen play looked like it was a little closer to uh
Chronopolis there number 53. i’ll tell you what he had some running room if they complete it it’ll be second and 20 stampeders back at the 36-yard line now calgary leading seven nothing in shreveport smoothie stands in near side and it’s picked out second interception for williams the pirates have life here deep inside
The stampeder zone tony williams might have had one earlier had he not dropped the football but this time as flutie steps up the pressure is coming from alex bash and reggie rogers and here you see it here’s roger he’s having a whale of a game up the middle
And mash then comes from the outside and flutie maybe has to get rid of this just a little sooner than he wants to remember he’s only five nine now he kind of ducks down to avoid the hit cost him an interception now from the 32 oliver stands in
Throws to the far side a little high but walker brought it down at the 25-yard line so they’re halfway to a first down as wayne walker hangs on 16 games in 94. he’s one of these sneaky fast guys you know he kind of can allow you to sleep but all of a sudden
He can just fly by you for the big one that’s what the corners say about him a sneaky speedster and he’s from just down the road at texas tech second down three to go after a seven yard gain it’s oliver with time wide open basinger he’ll have the first down and he’s
Forced out inside the 20-yard line phillips over to make the tackle freeman basinger begin with the sacramento gold miners played briefly with the bc lions last year at the drop seas a time or two yeah he did and bc of course decided to let him go but you know
He seems to be the final piece to this receiving core he can stretch a defense he’s got terrific speed as well now at the 17 shreveport first down it’s oliver uses the shotgun now out of the pocket toliver not a bad runner as he’s down inside the
10-yard line not quite a first down see where they spot the ball looks like about a yard shorts wally bono says he’s a little like archer but a little more mobile yeah a good lane opens up to the bottom and billy joe tulliver smart enough to realize that the linebackers have
Dropped hey i can run i’m not the greatest runner of all time but i can go far enough to pick up a first down good decision second and two shreveport threatening inside the calgary 10. it’s oliver looks to the far side in the far corner and walker was the intended receiver
He’s into a sign back there and oliver paid the price for getting that one away just a little bit late yes he did he took a good shot from stu laird as he released the football now the fans a little distressed well they’re running picks to both sides of
The field kind of a sloppy pick but they end up going to wayne walker deep he just can’t catch up to it starting to say the fans a little distressed that the pirates are settling for three at this stage of things but uh i think get three on the board at this
Particular moment in time is a pretty good plan for forest greg he needed a long two yards for the first down he might get an automatic first down now if the call goes his way but i think he made the good decision regardless you know they can’t
Come away from that drive with nothing discussion referee dave ewell offside calgary 81. five-yard penalty first time so that’s will johnson getting the early start and he doesn’t make many errors seven-year cfl veteran now yeah that’s bad penalty i mean obviously hey give up the three don’t give them a first down
And calgary doesn’t do that to their team much but in this case they did oliver with a play from joe barnes on the sidelines in his first down goal to go just inside the five pirates with a chance to get even with the stampeders who lead it seven nothing
Down to about the one and the bell much of a running game in week one for the pirates now can you believe it they had 23 yards total as a team against san antonio and that just puts too much pressure on it billy joe toliver to beat a team through the air
When they’re just trying to get to know each other hatton had four carries last week for five yards total and the stampeders didn’t have a problem running the ball last week second and goal to go ball at the one pirates with a chance to get on the board
And they’re celebrating but so far the referee hasn’t indicated that that is a touchdown david says third down it’s a little tough on those goal line stands where the players all put their hands up signaling a touchdown and trying to find the official down there but dave yolt
Says they’re still a yard away now finley made the initial contact and uh obviously he didn’t get in there now they brought some heavy beef into the lineup and i think this is a good choice for forest greg try and pound it in and get the big touchdown tie this game up
Third down goal to go pirates at the stampeder one one more chance to hit the end zone and tie it up with 47 seconds remaining in the opening quarter patton over the top and i don’t think he made it he stopped short martin patton tried to go over the top
And the stampeder defense comes up with a huge save and right in the middle of things down there marvin pope celebrating a couple of cracks at it from the one-yard line three cracks at it from inside the five and the pirates come up short yeah the key is penetration watch pope come up
Here finley comes over the top and even alondra johnson gets into this but they get the good initial penetration and it just follows up the blocking there you see there’s pope with the hit got rid of the block finley helps out and no way patton wasn’t even close it’s
Going to even give you a better look here tough to pull a guard down on the goal line that’s what shreveport tried to do tried to pull the right guard john hayden right and he just couldn’t clear the way so after the interception no points for the pirates
Here’s flutie out of the end zone stopped at about the four yard line jonathan wilson in the tackle there three games with the pirates in 1994 this is his second season here third in the cfl it’s a great call down there really fooled shreveport initially but give
Them credit good coverage by joe fuller downfield flutie wanted to throw the home run and before he knew it jonathan wilson was right in his face but you have to like the call and hey there’s big daddy bourbon he’s moved out of the middle now he’s going to play outside linebacker
They’ll get a much better pass rush when they bring him as their fifth rusher yeah it worked pretty well on the running play last time with hope coming from the outside here’s flutie on second down he has the punches out across the 20-yard line to about the 22.
So a big first down for the stampeders flutie to sipunges on the final play of the opening quarter in shreveport stampeder defense held the pirates out of the end zone on third and one from the goal and that’s why the score is 7-0 we’ll send you back to cfl control this

Welcome back to cfl control center here in toronto we got a good football game going on i like the stampeders next thursday they will take on the ottawa rough riders it’s a seven o’clock start eastern let’s go back to john and lee from the stamps with a huge goal line stand
Yeah that’s the play of the half so far unless you look back at the touchdown toss which gives the stampeders their margin of victory right now darren stampeders with the football first down just outs across the 20-yard line up to 21 following this plunge’s catch tony stewart
For a couple of days now you know you look at the big play of the quarter and uh yeah they got the touchdown catch but i think a defensive stand in the goal line probably lifts the team even more calgary will be very happy the way they
Turned away the shreveport drive and you know when you’re playing a team that you should beat you really want to take them out of the game early and that goal line stand might have a gain of three this is second and seven stampeders flutie shotgun wide open far side is alan pitts
And pitts is stopped by perry that’s mario perry number 36 on alan pitts it’ll be another stampeder first down here’s how it looked in the opening quarter after allen pitts touchdown stampeders were rather solid here here are the numbers now passing 44 yards for the pirates 32 for the stampeders possession almost even
Including on play action looks to the far side and right into the stampeder bench after making the toss hit by wilson tough to see the receivers stadium took a shot and it looks like he hit the bench with his ribs there’s smith to the top of your screen jonathan wilson who’s
An extremely physical corner six two two hundred pounds i think he took it either in the ribs or on the hip as he hit that bench peewee held on it’ll be a stampeder first down we’ll check out the injury situation shortly in the meantime first down stampeders
Flutie sidearm that one and that one might have come off the turf intended for they call it a catch alan pitts gets credit for the reception there’s the career of alan pitts in his sixth season now closing in on 7 500 yards 59 touchdowns coming into the game and he has one tonight
First down stampeders at the 45 of the pirates another penalty marker down as flutie looks to the far side terry vaughn the intended receiver number two and peewee appears to be okay he’s backing on the football field penalty against the pirates and there’s a an injured player down there 3 4 72
5 yard first down repeated johnny scott they roll in five linemen and johnny scott’s a good one who played with him last year giving reggie rogers a break on this series maybe we can see what happened here johnny scott playing over the nose or playing on the center jamie cries dale
Gets a jump just as the ball is snapped he gets caught in the neutral zone and scott is the injured player so he’s making all the headlines on the field right now it’s funny shreveport on this defensive series have really tried to mix things up nicely with
A combination of zone on first down they’ve been going to a little tighter man-to-man on second now but fluties receivers read it so well that i mean anything you do is just so difficult unless you get that extra pressure on flutie to upset his rhythm
Off under his own power so a decent bet that he’ll be back in the ball game shortly yeah they need johnny scott because they have to spell off that front four and alex smash rogers williams and savage they need that fifth guy scott to rotate
In there and give them a break i mean fight like tonight is a tough night for these big linemen and on the penalty it is a first in five situations facing the stampeders this drive began at the stampeder one yard line and six plays later there at the shreveport 40. first and five
Four receivers to the near side for flutie it is vaughn coming out of the backfield making the catch he’s got the first down down to about the 33. there was another marker down lots of penalties in this one this one against the stampeders offside calgary number eighteen five
Yards first down repeatedly so alan pitts got a bit of a head start with that kind of speed you don’t need no you don’t do you i don’t think so there’s good look at john huffnagle just sneaking around he lost him behind alibano and he will call
A lot of the plays tonight for doug flutie funny offensive coordinator for calgary and joe barnes offensive coordinator for street vet quarterbacking duo back in regina in the early 80s that one was tipped at the line stewart looked to be the intended receiver john huffdagel and pirates offensive coordinator joe
Barnes were known at a time in saskatchewan as jj barnego when they had a terrific quarterbacking tandem under joe faragelli and the year was 1981 talking to both quarterbacks about it today fond memories of that season for both the rough riders were nine and seven but didn’t quite make the playoffs that year
Eskimos and stampeders and lions were just too tough footy from the shotgun second and ten and one is tipped and then almost grabbed by dave sipunges knocked away and then it almost came down into sponges hands joe fuller got a hand on it nice job by ron perry to stay with pitts
As he came across the middle flutie with good protection they run a twist up front but calgary picks it up nicely and there you see ron perry 34. get the left hand up almost had a chance to make the interception and actually sponges almost had a chance to make the catch but
When you’re a linebacker you can run with sponges all the way across the field you’ve done a nice job here’s mark mclaughlin what a season he’s having so far he’s only perfect yeah you know sorry john last year 37 of 44 in field goals i mean he has really got his
Game at a high level yeah he was clicking at 84 last year clicking at 100 until this one and he still is six for six on the season as mclaughlin connects from the 52-yard line peter to the men who give their best every day we offer our best

Head by david cohen had to leave the contest with a mild concussion game two currently underway oakland leads by a score of two to one let’s go back to john and leigh down in shreveport and here’s ten i think stampeders not unexpected is we watched these two teams match up and
Looked at the talent and the records from the previous season stampeders were 15-3 the pirates were 3 and 15 in 1994. billy joe toliver starting quarterback tonight good on five of seven for 44 yards had a chance first down inside the stampeder five and the pirates came up empty
Now they begin first and ten at the 35 after mclaughlin’s field goal oliver can’t get away from the rush zizekovic is through that shrekkos is a kovic number 96. on the tackle and just put a big bear hug on the quarterback yeah the zizikovic brothers are in at the two tackles here comes
Shreko this way lubo on the twist but it’s shreko right off the gut that ends up getting the pressure in the sack and they too will spell off and kenny walker gets to rest on this series but lubo’s is it kobik did not play a week
Ago he is now in and the two brothers controlling the middle second and 17 talliver deep dropped away from the initial rush found the release man that’s junior smith trying to get outside for the first down and he accomplishes that big first down for the pirates and luckily no penalty markers anywhere on
The field hey how about that junior smith only five six 175 pounds and joe barnes told me he said he is like a pinball clements we just need to get him to ball more well they do on a second and long situation uh pretty good job by tolliver to find him
And then watch this nice little move right there to get away from alondra johnson and he gets a much needed first down for the pirates yeah and gerald vaughn overran the tackle as well so the pirates have a first down out of the 51-yard line trailing 14 to nothing to the stampeders
Oliver looks to the near side three receivers out here this is freeman basinger and basinger gets close to a first down stop from behind by johnson and i think that’s a defense that calvary is going to get out of in a hurry trips to the field they covered the third receiver in
Basinger with alondra johnson now johnson is fast but i’ll tell you a hot night like this tonight it’s not only going to take its toll but i don’t think johnson can stay with freeman basinger he’s a great linebacker but that’s a tough assignment it’ll be second down and inches to go
For the pirates who’ve all of a sudden put together a decent drive beginning back at the 35-yard line bob vespasiani there on the left with the backwards hat in charge of the defensive line frank spazziani with the linebackers with the towel around him whereas wally blano even as the head
Coach has a huge hand in the defenses that they play wayne walker to the near side it is second down inches to go oliver will take advantage of a free play stands in and looks deep looking for walker city touchdown walker held on under the coverage from alfred jordan number 27.
Pirates are on the board second in inches and tolliver went for the bomb well john you like the call because you have to play games with the defense the defense is probably thinking hey they just want to pick up a first down to keep the drive going but wayne walker
Who i mentioned is deceptively fast leaves jordan in the dust and that ball had been better thrown would have made it look a lot easier than it was he makes a heck of a catch on it too because the coverage by jordan although a little bit late was pretty tight
On walker there and he had to do a great job to hang on to the ball pirates now have seven 8 57 to go to halftime it’s a three-point ball game and celebrating on the sidelines is wayne walker after this catch he held on in the end zone 20-foot baskets 300-point games

Edwards on the return tyrone edwards across the 25 looking for room far side of the field there’s a marker down and so is edwards near the 37-yard line are on the tackle there’s a flag on the planet check for the initial indication down in the field is marvin pope looking for a
Contact lens perhaps or was he winded penalty is against the stampeders on the return for holding holding calgary number 37 on the return 10 yards first down and they caught matt finley on the return there three plays to cover 75 yards and a gutsy call by toliver to hit walker for a 49-yard
Touchdown toss that was on second and inches that was a terrific catch by walker getting in behind al jordan there you see the good concentration because jordan’s arms are going to come up at the last second to try and distract him he knows he’s in trouble
He’s trying to get a hand up desperately but he wait for it a bit there didn’t he yes he did wayne walker with terrific catches you know shreveport i mean they have to make some big plays to stay in this game they are definitely the
Underdogs and that is a big play and a crucial time one of the strategies the pirates were talking about was to stay with the stampeders they had to score with the stampeders because they’re not going to shut down doug flutie all evening long they’re going to have to get some points
On the board it looked for a while like it was going to be a little more difficult but now they have the seven and they did have that drive that ended in failure but at least oliver was able to move the football well i think they have to have come off
To the sidelines after that scoring drive saying hey look we’ve taken it down as you mentioned in the goal last year we gave it up but now we scored so listen we can stay with this club offensively and they must be feeling pretty good about themselves right now
Can’t afford to get too far behind booty and the stampeders he’s got a couple let’s send you back to cfl control thanks very much john let’s go back to steel town the ti-cats off to a torrid pace anthony cavillo will go into the end zone he’ll hit winfield
That’ll make it 21-10 that’s the score at the half and back live in shreveport now second down stampeders second and seven stamps at the 25 flutie far side missed his target wilson was covering on terry vaughn number two and flutie missed that time wow this is an area where i think doug
Flutie is going to work against a lot jonathan wilson is the corner outside and terry vine’s going to go on the out but jonathan wilson’s a huge corner at six two two hundred pounds and i think most people believe he’s better suited to play at the halfback spot or maybe
Even middle safety he was beaten quite easily there by vaughn but i wouldn’t be surprised if doug flutie goes to that area quite a bit tonight wally buono for one thought oh yeah wilson was much better suited to the safety position where he played a little bit with toronto a couple of
Years ago yeah and he was a good one too very aggressive but i think he’s a little out of place out of the corner harris on the return he lost the ball who comes up with it 50-yard kick that time for martino and the pirates get it right back here’s
Billy joe billy joe talver eight of ten he’s hitting on eighty percent for 126 yards the long touchdown really helped help the numbers in a hurry now he holds pretty near all the passing records at texas tech and of course his offensive coordinator joe barnes also preceded him at texas
Tech so i said to joe tonight i guess billy joe broke all your records he said oh gosh he said all i did was hand off left hand off right he didn’t break any of my records well those two guys are getting together very well they talk
Texas tech yes they they talk the same language so they’re always on the same page from the 35 oliver hands out to smith smith tries to break to the outside he’s to midfield finally surrounded and forced out solid run by junior smith not listed as the primary runner in this
Backfield a terrific hole up front watch chuck reed he just turns zizikovic to the outside they get the good block from mike stowell at center and a huge hole opens up and this is a nice change of pace the draw they’ve been throwing throwing throwing and now you throw this into the
Mix and really cut calgary off balance see how hard those defensive line when we’re coming up field that’s when they’re easy to run the draw against 24 yards of the gain setting shreveport up at the stampeder 51. culver away from the initial rush can’t find a receiver now has it picked off almost
Picked up johnson had his mitts on it walker was the intended receiver and alondra johnson looked like he’d had his first interception of the season and john that’s one of those killer throws back across the field and yes you see your receiver wide open and yes he is wide open but
When you throw back across the field it’s just so tough johnson right in the middle of your screen 51 and you’ll see basinger he’s going to stop right there and slowly try and get to the open he’s waving he can’t get it to him this will be second and ten shotgun
Toliver look for walker one more time and coleman was there you think the fans want a flag on that one yeah i would say they’re a little upset with that one looks like billy joe toliver though has really settled down here in the second quarter uh has a better grasp of things
Yeah it was almost picked off by johnson but this one wasn’t terribly thrown going again the home run for walker you’d be the judge at home coleman sliding out creates the contact i don’t think there’s any question about that should have been interference yeah you have a right to the ball but
That was contact clearly created and the fans definitely were were good referees on that one robbie keane nailed his last punt almost 60 yards standing this time at the 45 another loose ball and it came back to coleman fumble was created but the stampeders got it back calgary by three second quarter

Welcome back to cfl control getting a good look at the stamps tonight next week they will take on the ottawa rough riders and danny barrett you saw him dance into the end zone we’ll have the game for you it’s a seven o’clock start easter cfl live brought to you in part by the
Cake where good friends get together to enjoy great steaks and share some fun and back here at shreveport 552 to go to halftime you know john darin mentioned that uh calgary will be in ottawa next week you and i will do that next thursday night in fact
Calgary will travel to ottawa after this game rather than go home and spend a few days in the nation’s capital getting ready for that game asked wally if he was taking the team on vacation he said first down for flutie and the stampeders far side flutie has his target
So punch is forced out of bounds by a couple of pirates calgary in the lead seven o’clock eastern time four pacific for the stampeders and the rough riders so pun just has nine this is second and one and the stampeders should have the first down no penalty markers anywhere stuart
And it was reggie rogers in on the tackle stampeders in the lead by three and flutie having a slightly off night he is not quite at the top of his game so far but there’s a long way to go for doug way to go for doug flutie first and ten
Stampeders at the 22. and flutie is two for two in his last two passes both to dave sipunges who’s forced out he’s below 50 passing until he hits the punches for those last two and dave sapochus when he lines up as the third receiver in or in this case
Fourth receiver in he just works to the outside let everybody clear out and very difficult to stop that pass pattern sepunges broke his collarbone last season missed the last six games of the year and came back for the playoffs of course and broke it again so
It’s been on the mend all winter the injured player is ray savage who starts at the left defensive end for the shreveport pirates there’s savage up to the left of your screen and see if you can get a handle on exactly what happened to them at the end of this play working on
The all-canadian rocco romano the ball is released and when he is up in the air vulnerable rocco romano gives him that ever extra shot to knock him back on his back almost looked like he landed on his right shoulder and that would uh from that height would hurt when you’re coming down
Flutie to five to fifty percent passing as it stands right now seven of 14 for 93 yards he was just below 50 percent until he hit sipunges for two in a row well memphis felt like they frustrated him last week playing a lot of zone coverage making flutie throw underneath it and tonight
His numbers aren’t what they might be going deep with time and markers come down on the coverage that time reggie carthage flags and little doubt about the contact there well once again penalties hurting shreveport tonight the contact created downfield hawthorne had the big blocking from the rear penalty that
Cost him the big basinger return on the punt and now as a nickelback inserted into the game creates the contact and interference deliberate forward passenger turret 3 429 first down so look where the stampeders are as a result inside the 40. yeah here they are right here and you see that well the
Ball is still coming in the air the contact has been created no intent by carthon to turn around and play the ball so that is an excellent call so punch is the intended receiver and although he didn’t catch the ball he chips in 39 yards for the stampeders hey
You know john when i was a receiver and you know you love to catch your share of passes but if you draw the big up interference penalty you can count that in your personal well no you can’t but i’ll tell you what you go back to the huddle feeling like
You’ve done the job though because you keep the drive going and that’s just as good as catching it there’s a problem with the game clock right now so they’re trying to reset that no but when you go home at night you say well i caught three and it was
Uh 48 yards and then the 39 yard yeah interference i managed to get out of debut but the only thing is you feel good about it because you know you help the offense somehow even though it won’t show up statistically first and ten stampeders at the 38
Near side flank wide is terry vaughn has three receivers to the near side another marker down as flutie escapes fires as alan pitts he’s dragged down immediately and we’ll check out the infraction fuller made the stop it’s close to a first down pending the penalty offside calgary number two five yards
First down repeating it’s terry vaughn getting a quick start from his wide receiver spot he was on the right side that time so the stampeders are catching up to the pirates a little bit in the penalty department that’s been a pretty sloppy first half when you look at it those are the
Penalty statistics and that’s certainly too much from both teams first and fifteen fluties shotgun in the tight cover and he has his man pee-wee smith made the catch in front of jonathan wilson well peewee smith getting a chance to play watch he’s working on jonathan wilson just runs the hook
And well i’ll tell you what that is an area i think they have to attack and jonathan wilson you see pewy smith getting lots of room there just settles down works into the hole and jonathan wilson really not even close i think they can make a living on
Every play out there right now until he decides that he’ll come up and challenge those calgary receivers lily got a bunch back this is now second and five danielson and he should have the first down vince danielson well you got to like vince danielson you know he was at the university of british
Columbia he was a quarterback and he said to himself if i want to make it to pro football which is my objective i’m not going to make it as a quarterback so after four great years at that position his final year he moved to slot back where he had an outstanding fifth year
At ubc he was drafted by the stampeders and his first year last year he 21 catches he works well in the five pack and a nice addition he’s been time out for another injury in shreveport where the stampeders lead it 10 to 7. we have the gamut of bicycles from

Halftime we’ll have highlights of the cudas and the cats for you we’ll check in with alan pitts and john and leaf will give us their first half thoughts let’s go back to shreveport gentlemen and how about those hamilton tiger cats they won week one they’re in control tonight we’ll check it out at
Halftime with darren right now 2 43 to go till halftime stampeders first and 10. here’s flutie and zone toss well not quite to the end zone but he’s got his man pee-wee smith down at the two uh pee-wee’s late dive will not count for a touchdown there
Well here’s the deal doug flutie says i’ve realized the soft spot right now once again pee-wee smith running down on the post and you’ll just see jonathan wilson does not want to come up and challenge him he’s giving him a good nine yards and that’s too much for a corner and then
You see when the ball’s in the air he doesn’t have the burst to break on it and try and break it up and same old story they can make a living out there first down goal to go stampeders at about the two and a half here’s flutie himself
And he’s into the end zone for the touchdown doug flutie congratulated by david sapunja says flutie takes it in from a couple of yards away so he’s tossed for one and carried for one and the stampeders lead at 16-7 yeah this is a great play for flutie to
Run the option there you see shelton overruns it rogers can’t get out in time and you know when flutie decides you’ll run the option you stretch that defense out so much they rarely can make the right play boy guess about the only thing flutie hasn’t accomplished in his career
Would be to rush for a thousand yards himself which i’m sure he’d love to do i just think his passing is so good he never gets a chance well he can run with the football and he moves the football in all kinds of ways convert good as you saw 17-7
As flutie restores a 10-point lead for the calgary stampeders one more peek at it you watch ron perry at the top 34. he has to respect stewart so he’s out of the play automatically and when shelton overruns it it’s game over good call on goal line with flutie’s
Athletic ability to take advantage of a little seam and if uh you know there’s nothing right the defense can really do there unless they happen to get a solid shot on them again a long interference culminating 39 yards kept this drive going for the stampeders or at least
Made it a lot simpler for fleeting to get to the end zone it was a free 40 yards really yes it was and they and doug flutie and john huffman go learn something on that drive and it you know i’ve talked about it quite a bit
Is that jonathan wilson is not going to challenge their receivers so flutie now has filed that away that hey if we need first downs i know the area i can go to now obviously he’s going to spread it around to keep everybody involved but don’t think he hasn’t filed it in
Crucial situations i’ll be going back against shreveport’s right corner billy joe toliver getting set to go back in right after the stampeder kickoff too deep for the pirates back near the 20-yard line basinger and walker and this is freeman basinger across the 30 and slipped through there he’s to the 40-yard line
Basinger solid return out to midfield just what the pirates needed with 206 to go to halftime and john that’s the reason why they signed freeman basinger yes he can play the slot or wide receiver for you but he gives you the dimension that they were really looking for a solid kick returner and
You know he had the good punt return and now a great kickoff return here’s the scoring drive for the stampeders that oliver will try and answer seven plays to cover 99 yards and a time of 336 and flutie the fist finished it off with a two-yard rush now pirates first and ten
Beginning right at midfield just shy of the 55. it’s oliver getting some heat stands up fires open first down as walker made the catch hang on it’s not walker it’s will covington number into the hurry up offense for the pirates with an even two minutes on the clock here at
Independence stadium stampeders on top by 10. oliver sends three receivers to the far side of the field and he comes back this way covington again number 83 i don’t think he’s related to grover he’s from the smaller side of the covington clan if that is
In fact the case well with a minute and 44 to go as you can see 17-7 if billy joe toliver can take his team in for a field goal or a touchdown you know they’ll go into the locker room saying hey we’re only down by three or seven or
Whatever the case may be against this club we can stay with these guys right now he’s facing second and two junior smith stopped initially and then nailed right there back at the 35-yard line that play worked once but it didn’t fool the stampeders the second time a little draw there as izukovic was
On top of it for one lubos is a kovic stu laird really makes the play you know he’s gonna follow the pulling guards down and when the running back smith stops who’s there waiting really to make the initial play and it’s stu laird smith just doesn’t have the
Quickness now to get away from everybody else but when you see that tackle and guard pull down the line as a defensive end you just follow them and something good may happen and that’s what happened for stu laird that sets up a field goal try for bjorn nitmo
He’s hitting a thousand percent this season one for one last week this spotted at the 42-yard line and this one is on the mark so nitmo is having a pretty good season too yeah he nailed that one i mean he could have made that from 55 and he’s pleased with that
So should the pirates offense they made a couple of first downs he’s got three points back and lead to a touchdown yeah you know for as well as calgary’s played here in the first half and for as many mistakes as forrest greg’s pirates have made
Hey they are in the thick of things and don’t think they won’t feel pretty good about this at halftime now on the other side there still is a minute 24. exactly what i was going to point out and that’s too much time to get comfortable with flutie at the controls
On the other side i don’t think there’s uh anybody better at the two-minute offense than doug flutie there have been obviously some great quarterbacks that have engineered that type of offense over the years but he would be at the top of the list and he’ll begin at the 35-yard line with a
Minute 24 to go to halftime you know if lancaster is watching uh tonight ronnie lancaster i’ll tell you in my opinion the guys i played with there was nobody better than him absolutely flutie has that one batted down and then batted it away himself i think he
Thought for a second that he might just grab that one back and maybe try and do something with it but he deflected it into the ground on second thought well what you want to do when you set up the screen is invite those defensive linemen up field as calgary’s
Offensive line does there you see ben williams and again reggie rogers but one thing they didn’t take into account is the height of all these guys johnny scott got the knock down that’s a nice defensive play by scott second and ten with a minute 18 to go
Stamps at the 35. calgary leading by a touchdown flutie over the middle and he’s on target for a first down sean danielson big target at 6-3 vince danielson it is shawn daniels vince danielson you got it hurry up offense being employed by flutie here with 109 to go certainly the
Stampeders can add to their lead in that amount of time flutie as sapunja he’s inside the 35 and finally forced out at the 20-yard line 56 seconds flutie has all kinds of time to hit the end zone and answer that field goal and reggie carthage on number 29 the defensive back
For shreveport’s had a tough night interference call and now giving sapunji so much room to the outside my goodness i still could have been able to get open on that kind of coverage but he’s had the penalty he’s had the interference the hit from behind and now he lets the punches get wide
Open tough night for number 29 carthage and it’s a 42-yard gain you have to wonder what he’s thinking though when he takes away the inside that much gives sapongis like 50 yards of field to work to to the sidelines looting from the 19 on first down it opens up for doug flutie
He’s slowed and tripped up but he is out near the 10-yard line and about the eight-yard line by the time he finally stops numbers on flutie he was slow starting or at least the numbers were not impressive to begin the second quarter but he’s right there now 10 of 18
For 134 he’s run for one and passed for one yeah he’s had pretty good protection too that always becomes the key for him you know you give him lots of time to throw and sooner or later he’s going to cause a lot of damage first and goal to go stampeders are at
The 8-yard line 32 seconds to go and stuart is at the six yard line maybe slightly across that savage was there and scott who was nicked earlier has uh played a solid game for the pirates he has been involved time ticking till halftime with the stampeders on top by seven
Pretty good chance they’ll add to that lead here second down goal to go from the six yard line yeah they’re going to take a timeout let the clock run down and then they will go to the sidelines and discuss things what they want to do obviously is to
Score and then have no time left on the clock for shreveport now last week the stampeders stalled a couple of times inside the 20-yard line yeah they had a tough time against that memphis defense and that’s why mark mclaughlin was five for five a week ago uh
Inside the 30-yard line but uh you know the good news you know if it’s another kind of another offense another team’s offense you may be worried about that but the good news is that they were getting down in that position and you know with their track record
That it’s only a matter of time before they start to click in the red zone yeah they’re back on track tonight because they have been inside the 35-yard line on a couple of occasions and they have touchdowns on both locations 11 seconds till halftime stampeders second and goal to go at the
Six yard line of the pirates calgary in the lead by a touchdown kiwi smith to the near side three receivers flank to the far side of the field flutie operating from the shotgun over the middle and alan pitts has the touchdowns check into the ball game for alan pitts
That time in front of harold nash 0-0 pretty calm approach to scoring the touchdown for flutie and pitch they’ve got two together tonight well he does it so many times he got the inside position on harold nash and nash makes a good effort to try and strip the ball loose but
The strong arms of alan pitts enables him to tuck that ball in bring it into his body and his second of the night one away now from tom forzani’s all-time club record of 62. number 61 for alan pitts wearing the red and white of the calgary stampeders
Eight seconds on the clock as mclaughlin calmly puts it through and the stampeders have a two touchdown advantage in the pirates one more time it’s 24 to 10. i hear you get a good look at alan pitts and harold nash you know here’s nash now piss he’s just going to square him up
And bring it to the inside now nash has pretty good position on this pass pattern it’s just that last yard you know that burst to try and get the left hand in there now you know that’s not bad coverage but give pitts credit he was able to just
Get those hands way out there and you know not let the ball work its way into his body if he does that probably nash makes the play but the key to take it in his hands make the catch and he has his second of the night just a split second behind alan pitts
But that’s dangerous well hey i mean you know any defensive back in the league is going to have a tough time taking pitts on down on the goal line but but anasha’s credit he played it pretty well but he still lost the battle stampeders leading 24 to 10 and it’s
A hot sticky night here yeah they didn’t do it perfectly though there’s eight seconds left on the clock that gives the pirates a chance for the return and that’s about it they’ve had a couple of decent returns tonight basinger had one right out around midfield but uh the stampeders are
Going to let them get a few yards but not much they’ll be laying in weight i think mclaughlin may keep this on the ground too not quite on the ground but it was a line drive to basinger and markers are down absolutely everywhere jonathan wilson caught for blocking from
Behind with two seconds on the clock seven plays to cover 75 yards and pits from flutie on a six yard touchdown two for pitts on the night two touchdown tosses for flutie and this will be the last play of the opening half at independence stadium in shreveport illegal block shreveport number nine
It’s been the little things tonight for shreveport you know penalties have really heard watch jonathan wilson right here hey there’s the head it’s behind the calgary kick cover and unless it’s in front and you’re you’re going to get called when you’re out in the open field like
That every once in a while you can get away with it if you’re in the middle of the pack but when you’re in the open field 99 times out of 100 you get called in the little things that just keep you from being successful two seconds away from the mcdonald’s halftime reports
At tsn control toliver has walker and walker will just about finish off the first half stepping out of bounds there no penalty markers anywhere and doug flutie leads the calgary stampeders to the dressing room with a 14-point lead it is 24-10 flutie with a couple of touchdown tosses to allen pitts
And a couple of times he made it look easy back now to daryn detechie mcdonald’s halftime presented by your local mcdonald’s restaurant here’s darren dettition welcome back to mcdonald’s halftime given reprieve by their fans the hamilton tiger cats are just happy to have a home opener this evening
Oh so close to bowing out of the cfl last year football is definitely banking steel town let’s see how they’re doing against the birmingham barracudas early on in this contest jimmy klingler getting the start for the cudas he’s shaky his pass picked out by eric carter hamilton recovers the ball then carter
Though goes a little ballistic he tossed one into the throng at ivor wynne stadium that interception would set up this paula’s baldness and field goal from 45 yards out it’s good cabbies take a 4-3 lead but klingler comes back via the big play he’ll find it wide open
Marcus grant he will go 86 yards for the touchdown the barracudas go back in front 10-6 but the cats come up with some big plays of their own anthony cavillo the short screen to kailyn hall hall will juke and jive his way just outside the barracudas 12
The catch then go for the end zone kavia with the touchdown pass to frank maroff deep in the end zone the tabby’s up 11-10 and then it’s the hamilton d mike campbell with the sank of klingler then on the next play klingler dropped by jesse small now watch this pass play
Cavill he’ll go to earl the pearl winfield great grab between the two defenders he was shaken up but not stirred hamilton at the five because cavillo goes right back to him winfield with a touchdown in the corner of the end zone it is now 21-13 in the third quarter of play anthony
Cavillo is on fire this season he’s got two touchdown passes in this game he now has five on the season meanwhile san antonio and baltimore 30 to 10 tracy ham with a couple of touchdown passes in that game those are his first 2d passes of the season san antonio went into this
Contest coming up a big welcome back to mcdonald’s halftime last year he was all world alan pitch set a new record for touchdown scored with 21 along with a new record for receptions in one season with 126. this season did not start off that well arrested in
The u.s with steroids while coming to calgary’s training camp pitts is still awaiting the legal ramifications but he’s putting that behind him and earlier this week our own lisa bose had a chance to talk with him alan in 1993 the stampeders had an incredible record 15-3 and yet lost in the western final
To edmonton 1994 similar script 15-3 during the regular season numerous team and league records but again losing right here in mcmahon to bc in the western final it’s something to come back from that once but twice how is the team’s psyche and slash chemistry i guess for 1995
Um you know there’s been a few changes in the off-season which uh at this point you know i i really haven’t been able to get a full handle on you know our approach as a team you know i i believe those losses the last two years makes us a hungry team
Wanting to get back to the grey cup but with the change that we’ve had and the the way we started out the last two seasons and how far along we are this season you know i think we might be a little bit behind but um i think coming off those two lost the
Last two years i think it does make us a much more hungrier team what makes alan pitts hungrier this year three league records you set last year it was phenomenal how you came back from that knee injury what’s the motivation this time around um well i think the motivation most of the
Motivation comes from the unfortunate situation that happened uh earlier during training camp i think that has just added strength and to myself making me want to go out and you know just be the player that i’m capable of being because you know i really feel that there’s some people out there that they
Want alan pitts to fail and um you know i’m just here to uh to say that you know people can portray or speculate about me whichever way they want but you know my real friends and people that are close to me know what i’m about and uh you know that’s what i’m here
To uh let the truth be known about that you have signed a new deal it’s not the astronomical figures that we were hearing 500 g’s a season you wish i think but you did get a raise uh are you happy because i think for a time there you
Really you know you wanted to be thought of as in the upper echelon and you are but you wanted to be played in the upper echelon if you will are you happy with what you’ve got um yeah i’m pleased with the with the progress that was made during the offseason um
You know i’ve i’ve enjoyed playing here in calgary enjoy playing for the cfl you know in a way i i just feel that you know me taking you know a small step forward in financially is going to make things possible for other players you know coming along these next few years
And you know i hope to play a few more years myself and continue to get better and hope i can take some more small steps but uh i just think overall you know that makes it a little bit better for everybody still more to come at mcdonald’s
Halftime up next john and leif give us their first half thoughts and we check in on our game story stay tuned being a pilot it’s not just handling the stick controls is what goes on up here i’d say i tend to be a detail sort of

Mcdonald’s halftime brought to you by your local mcdonald’s restaurant welcome back to mcdonald’s halftime each and every game we try to highlight the matchups that we think will be the most important or interesting so far our game story it pretty much reads like this flutie 13 of 21 195 yards two touchdowns
One interception one rushing td hits four receptions 51 yards two tds the pirates with 111 penalty yards let’s go to john and leaf who are standing by at shreveport gentlemen hey darren you’re looking at the only two guys in ties in all of louisiana on a hot and steamy maybe the only guys
That have ties why would you need one here listen it’s uh the steam in this heat not having any effect on the calgary stampeders particularly when flutie wanted to hit the end zone he was able to do so and it looked easy yeah it really did you know 230 yards of offense
For him in that half and you know they played well but you know you look at shreveport i think defensively they have to challenge flutie a little more challenge those receivers a little more hey you’re in against a tough team you might well might as well shoot your
Shot and take some chances they haven’t been doing it now flutie has gone over number nine a couple of times and uh he’ll likely continue to do that unless forrest greg makes a move there and moves wilson out of the way well i mean i think flutie has registered that
As i said late in the second quarter he will come back there when he needs a sure thing but i think what shreveport has to look at at halftime and forrest greg will say guys penalties penalties and all these dumb mistakes and crucial times and you know that really has been the
Difference 24 10 14 points but the game could have been far closer at shreveport been a little sharper mentally i suppose we should have guessed that they’d be looking at number nine when wally buano suggested to us this morning that maybe wilson was better at safety
Well yeah i mean i think he’s better safety too and on the corner i think it’s a little tough for him but we’ll see what happens in the second half all right it’s up to billy joe tolliver to get the shreveport pirates back in the ball game
They’re down by a couple of touchdowns darren do it for mcdonald’s halftime up next we’ve got the third quarter stay tuned let’s say these shoes are your car’s brakes becomes pretty obvious doesn’t it you’re going to have to have at least part of them repaired which brings to mind the midas
Inspection form miners shows you in writing what brake repairs you need to do right away and what can wait a while so you can make the choice oh and by the way these are not uh walking shoes these are talking shoes could you bring down the uh microphone i’ll demonstrate
It’s the way it should be thank you good night cfl 95 comes alive on tsn this week canada’s game hits the ground running thursday as the calgary stampeders battle the ottawa roughriders cfl 95 live on tsn your summer hot spot looking for the inside scoop on big league baseball join
Dan shulman and buck martinez for the major leagues today inside and opinion about the boys of summer the major leagues today catching weekdays on a tsn sports radio station near you independent stadium shreveport louisiana hot and steamy one it looks like the temperature has reached 100 degrees in downtown shreveport tonight
It hasn’t affected the calgary stampeders through the opening half time of possession favors calgary at 17 31 net yards 231 to 184 and doug flutie has engineered a couple of touchdown drives that have ended in touchdown passes to alan pitts and i think you look at the penalty story
There eight for 111 for shreveport just think how much offense you lose when you give up 111 yards through penalties and for billy joe toliver that’s a tough one ready for the kickoff to get the second half underway kiwi smith is deep for the calgary stampeders
And the short kick is grabbed by calgary finley comes up with a ball there’s a penalty marker down as matt finley made the recovery and the indication initially is against the shreveport pirates so you talk about penalties and all of a sudden first place second half the pirates take one offside
Three four nine to nine penalties decline yeah first down the penalty won’t matter though because they come out with a little firepower here try the onside kick and matt finley heads up with the recovery and oh boy you know you’re down by 14 and
This is not the kind of way you want to start the third quarter you don’t want to set the stampeders up at your 52-yard line to begin the third quarter 24-10 stampeders leading the pirates tony stewart going behind chronopolis there for a couple of yards bobby panalita since his first year
Starting at the right guard spot they made a few changes on the offensive line but here on the counter you’ll see stuart come and follow him up through the hole pretty good lead block by panolidas coming up through there see on the outside beaton has a little
Trouble handling alex mash mash gets the first hand on stewart i’ll tell you for bruce beaton who’s filling in for bruce coverton there’s a lot of pressure on him at the left tackle spot now he’s getting a chance to play but you know based on his performance tonight
Ken moore who retired i know is waiting in the wings in calgary and in wally buano i know i had a chat before the season moore didn’t feel like physically he could play a full year but if they were ever in trouble he would gladly come out of retirement as i
Understand this so maybe a nice little 15-game schedule something like that so i think based on what uh the offensive line and most importantly bruce beaton does tonight uh kenny moore may be getting a call tony stewart is the injured calgary stampeder after picking up about three yards in the previous play
His backup and running back is number 23 tyrone edwards now edwards is well rated he got some solid headlines and a big build up in calgary he also had a great camp and tony stewart was less than impressed with the kind of attention that edwards was getting oh so uh we’ll see
If this turns into a bit of a competition stewart won’t want to be out of the ball game for very long if that’s the case i don’t think he will be second and six stampeders at the pirates 48 fluties shotgun faked it once couldn’t find the receiver open now flutie
Scrambling to the other side and he comes up with a completion in front of wilson again flutie paid the price he was down the receiver on the far side is also slow getting to his feet that’s pee-wee smith and smith was injured a little bit earlier
Yeah he took a shot at the bench earlier and now on the tackle and flutie who had the foot injury a year ago comes up limping and boy though is this not vintage doug flutie when he scrambles around like that avoiding about three four guys to
To make a play and you see mash bearing down on him on the end and flutie’s left foot looked like he just turned underneath him as he delivered that football here’s the heat actually i thought flutie was hit releasing the ball but he went down under some pressure there pressure from alex
Great name for a ball player jonathan wilson gets some sort of revenge as he hits peewee smith after he caught the football drove him into the turf i mean that is the the strength of jonathan wilson is the way he can play the game physically kiwi smith getting a chance to be a
Starting receiver with the stampeders in 1995 with will moore and brian wiggins away trying their fortunes and future in the medical football league i’m going to give you a pretty easy test kiwi’s real name demetrius yeah of course of course you know whenever i see him down the field too
Like i mean i’ve never called him people i always call him demetrius he doesn’t answer and this is edwards breaking through his first carry of the regular season edwards is down to the two-yard line just what we were talking about this guy was impressive in training camp yeah
He’s a raw rookie out of college now university of california at berkeley now he’s 6-1-2-12 and wally buano did say to us last night this guy has tremendous potential and follows the initial blocking on the tackle trap by beaten and then cuts back across the grain that
Is a pretty impressive run for your first run of the year 37 yards for edwards to set the stampeders up california state university at berkeley first year in the cfl it was his first big round there’s his second try and does he get the first touchdown in his second carry
It’ll be a second down not quite pretty good shot over the top from 23 anthony shelton there you see him meeting edwards in the air and it’s a good call he came down 24-10 stampeders have the lead threatening to add to it here second and goal to go
From the one-yard line does flutie give it to edwards again yes and there’s the touchdown three carries and he’s into the end zone so tony stewart on the sidelines tyrone edwards into the ball game and flutie gave him the ball three times in a row he has his first touchdown well
You gotta like the way doug flutie plays this game edwards got them there with the great run and flutie was determined that this young rookie was going to get his first touchdown on this drive and you have to like that flute he could have taken the quarterback sneak and had
One himself but he said hey the rookie deserves to get his touchdown he did all the work tyrone edwards got it one more weapon for the calgary stampeders to work with footy set to hold for mclaughlin with calgary on top by 10 points now or by 20 points now
Yeah they took advantage of the onside kick that shreveport to begin the second half with recovered and then tyrone edwards finishes it off with his first professional touchdown good looking drive i’ll tell you what it will get tony stewart healthy in a hurry there you see the middle plugged up and
The quick feet for edwards to get it to the outside and you know as a running back you always want to have good vision and here’s what tyrone edwards sees when he takes the handoff he’s coming in here but he says hey it’s all plugged up but he has the speed
To get to the outside but you know again we talked the other night about give it to the back deep so he can make those reads and edwards made a perfect read and got his touchdown he almost got the touchdown on his very first carry solid run all the way down to the
Two-yard line and from there the stampeders took two cracks to get into the end zone you know if any young running backs were are watching tonight i mean that is a real good thing to see in the back like tyrone edwards to keep those eyes open you know i know often young guys
They know they’re going to get it on the one they put the head down the eyes closed and try and pound through everybody but you see the technique of your eyes open picking the right spot as edwards did right there three carries 39 yards edward’s in on a one-yard rush
The drive six plays to cover 52 yards in the stampeders have a 21-point lead you saw tony stewart sitting beside him on the bench stuart looked a little healthier he’s looking happier healthier not happier here’s wayne walker walker a little room to the far side but it’s closed up
Quickly by the stampeders as furs is there to force them out with greg knox the old canadian helping out let’s send you back to darren and catch up on what’s happening thanks very much gentlemen anthony cavillo is out he’s injured kerrigan’s in he hands the ball off to caitlyn hall
That will make it 31-13 for the ti-cats they’re running away in the fourth quarter of play how about those tiger cats i’ll tell you john they got really healthy at the expense of the las vegas posse to get anthony cavillo at quarterback and kalyn hall
Who was hurt a lot of last year he is a terrific running back so i gets made up pretty well there this is junior smith and it’s tough running inside against the stampeders we’re number one for the shreveport pirates in first down pirates of the official numbers on the quarterbacks favor
Doug flutie as you would guess tonight billy joe toliver in his first cfl season 11 of 15 for 163 yards flutie has 203 yards passing he’s tossed for two touchdowns taken one in himself and hand it off for the other one mayfield makes the catch far side on
Second down and that’s a good play for the pirates it’ll be a first down for billy joe talliver and curtis mayfield i think that’s mayfield’s first catch of the evening they haven’t really gone to him he only caught two balls a week ago he’s a guy that has to figure prominently in their
Offense because of his numbers a year ago with las vegas and what they translated into was an average of 19.9 a catch i mean you talk about a guy that can stretch a defense and tremendous leaper going up high to get footballs pirates out of the 42 first down tollibert
Goes to the far side again and overthrew martin patterson they used patton as a fifth receiver coming out in some schemes yeah they have an interesting offense their five pack is really with the running back as you say martin patton 6-1-203 they feel he can play the slot or
Wide receiver so they don’t have to shuffle receivers in and out of the ball game second and 10 pirates at the 42. yard line his first catch of the ball game so mayfield and harris involved in the offense in the last couple of plays and billy joe’s oliver really willing to
Hang in take the hit to deliver this football there you see the jam by ken leonard fails and harris turns it to the inside with a nice reception and well i’ll tell you it is just a matter of time for this receiving core if toliver can get time to find them
It’s a good group and they can really cause some problems talking about mayfield with 1200 yards last year with las vegas harris 1200 yards here in shreveport last season on 86 catches he had nine touchdowns two times over a thousand yards he was in 93 and 94 was sacramento nice free agent signing
23 yards the gain there and stu laird the veteran calgary stampeder defensive lineman is shaken up everything one of the unsung heroes over the years of the cowardly defense hard to believe this is his 12th season last year second best year he ever had with nine sacks and
Boy anybody on calories defense will tell you hey this guy is a real inspiration to all of us the friendly fireman on that defensive line 144th cfl game tonight for stu laird 94 they say was his best year yet and that was year 11 he’s in his 12th cfl season
Today she’s having a birthday and enjoying the pirates first and ten pirates just inside the calgary 45. oliver sends three receivers to the far side of the field it comes to the near side looking for walker touchdown two of the nights for wayne walker yeah give wayne walker credit and billy
Joe toliver the calgary stampedes were in their nickel defense al jordan the extra defensive back comes in they have double coverage on the outside to walker but jordan doesn’t get over in time to help out marvin coleman on the corner and walker once again it’s that deceptive speed
People just don’t take his speed seriously and that’s the second long bomb he’s caught tonight he’s been the top receiver so far in 95 couple of touchdowns tonight and the pirates close within two billie joe tolliver celebrating his second touchdown toss to wayne walker yes oh that’s uh two scoops of plump juicy
Raisins and whole grain flakes with bran they were all set to go but you just had to know how many scoops two scoops of raisins in the package not the engines where’s that kellogg’s raisin bran fasten your seat belts for the players limited indie lights racing series don’t miss exciting open wheel racing
From the portland international raceway sunday the wheels are turning here on tsn tsn’s tuesday night lineup packs a punch get ringside as razor running comes out swinging against tommy the duke morrison it’s a knockout the main event watch it off tuesday on tsn hey wayne walker take another bout
Second touchdown of the night pirates within a couple of touchdowns of the stampeders it does a great job you see marvin coleman lining up and bump and run and a little steps to the outside he is beaten but he’s hoping that del jordan can come over and help him out you see jordan
Just at the end doesn’t get there quick enough and wayne walker just using some tremendous speed but it’s the jitterbug steps at the line of scrimmage that froze coleman initially walker has his second what a terrific night some pretty good numbers yeah five catches 143 yards a couple of touchdowns
And with 903 to play in the third quarter the pirates are back in the ball game trailing by two touchdowns not about average almost 30 yards of reception for one night’s work and he’s still not finished coleman for the stampeders beginning at the 11. there’s room to the far side basinger is
Out there slowed him down enough for the tackle to be made by bradford and billy joe toliver covered 80 yards in five plays in a time of 241 45 yards to wayne walker second time that combination has produced six points tonight you know the way toliver steps up into
The pocket does he not remind you of david archer though well that’s what wally buano was saying he’s got oh archer style and he’s got that nfl ability to stand in the pocket and throw but a little bit more mobile i don’t think david archer is that mobile a quarterback that seems
To be the book on no i think you’ve got a point there but uh that pocket sets up and he is very willing to step up into it deliver a strike off his front foot he’s looking pretty solid johnny scott has had a tough night he’s played well but he’s been
Down a couple of times and being helped off again night like this can be a little bit tough for some of the guys some of the big guys up front 14 of 19 242 not bad not bad couple of touchdowns thinking back to the first half when the
Pirates were down inside the five-yard line first down and came away empty look at those numbers uh he had that’s more tonight than he had a week ago against san antonio so you know he’s improving but doug flutie is not finished for the evening stampeders set
Up first and ten at the 34 flutie play action to his rights so plunges the catch he’ll have a first down and yards to spare out near midfield the punjab makes it look so easy and that’s a terrific combination number 20 to number 25. well if dave’s the punches is here as
The third receiver and he’s got pits running up through here i mean this is a pretty easy pattern for him he just straightens up the defensive backhand then look how much field he has to work to the outside a little rub from his partner pitts and absolutely no way you could cover that
Just another first down stampeders set up just inside shreveport territory at the 54 loose ball but after the whistle whistle had definitely gone no matter what alex thought yeah look who’s back in the ball game in a hurry tony stewart stewart’s if you missed it out of the
Ball game for three plays just enough for his backup tyrone edwards to come in carry the ball three times for 39 yards and get a touchdown and he probably said to tyrone on the bench hey nice run but i’ll take the next series i’m fine terry vaughn near side you know as a
Head coach though uh what a terrific opportunity to see that a guy you think is good can play well second down here’s alan pitts said he can’t keep his feet or he would have been in the end zone hits got in behind harold nash and nash is a little upset is there a
Little pushing down there well nash does not show a lot of respect for pitts up trying to get the jam on him and when you miss it’s pretty tough to stay with it allen pitts with the stride he has and his pits delays it creates a little bit of
Contact that gives him the separation that he needs once again i mean he got 11 balls a week ago in their opener against memphis and again tonight 36 for alan pitts setting the stampeders up inside the 15-yard line at the 12 and a half first and 10 calgary fluties
Three receivers to the near side fires up done a nice job tonight spreading around spreading it around to keep everybody involved he’s giving enough balls to terry vaughn of course all the other receivers have had their share of catches tonight so you have to appreciate don’t think he
Doesn’t think about that because he does if somebody’s not getting their share of balls doug flutie consciously makes an effort to make sure they get some last week in the stampeders victory used all six receivers again and he’s spreading it around as you mentioned tonight stuart has come up with a football and
We’ll see what happened here but it was stewart and flutie not quite communicating and the pirates were all over it well doc flutie really never got the handle on the snap from center there you see him looking around and lucky tony stewart was alert actually he takes a pretty good shot
Covering up for his buddy making that recovery third and five at the seven yard line edwards is in on this field goal situation mclaughlin has been perfect all season no reason to change now five for five the other night and he’s perfect so far this evening mark mclaughlin coming off a sensational
Year in 1994 and he adds to the stampeder lead at 34-17 this is cfl live 20-foot baskets 300-point games 100-yard courts in the future athletes will make the game faster farther tougher but today’s athlete can choose new all sport fluid replacement unsurpassed taste fourth for squinching flavors all sport is a body quencher
So before it gets to this new all sport the game will never be the same boy we sold sweepers to places like kuwait we sell sweepers to japan taiwan australia mexico sweden i’m an accountant so i i know about costs and any places that we can look at to save costs
We’re going to do it advantage savings plan is certainly one way that we can do that we were spending 1500 a month cost went down to 800 a month what it allowed us to do is contact more customers and to have more contact with our existing customers
Welcome back to cfl control the toronto blue jays continue their series with the oakland days it’s geronimo baroa at the plate he’d hammer one to left center field devo tracks it down he’ll make the grab robs baroa of the home one 3-1 for the a’s in game two let’s go back to john
And late and back here in shreveport stampeders on top by 17 they have doubled the counts on the pirates so far mark mclaughlin a little chip shot field goal to add to the total after the pirates had scored on a rather sensational touchdown toss toliver hitting for 49 yards
For wayne walker this is basinger on the return out across the 35 stopped at the 38-yard line that’s a tough thing about calgary though john i mean shreveport scores on the big play and then calgary methodically back down the field to you know knock off three points with the
Field goal but you know they just don’t let other teams get back into a rhythm against them once they have a lead and that’s the measure of a great team is you know how well do you play with elite some teams have trouble doing it calgary doesn’t usually have any trouble doing
It oliver’s getting a pretty good workout against a solid defense calgary stampeders in 1994 led the league in 11 defensive category and it’s tough running to the outside on the stampeders as you see there cfl live brought to you in part by 3m canada imagining the unthinkable and developing the unknown
That’s 3m innovation at work 4 51 to go third quarter billy joe toliver and the shreveport pirates facing second and 11. oliver has to put it up chance to get it away and he’s on target it’ll be a first down to will covington second catch of the
Ball game for covington at around the 55. big play for the pirates right there on second and 11. and i think the offensive line right now doing a pretty good job giving toliver time to throw and for forest greg and joe barnes the offensive coordinator i think they should be
Really pleased with the progress that the offense has made in this game tonight i mean i’ve only scored 17 points but i think for the most part they should be happy with the way they’ve been able to produce at midfield first and ten pirates this is junior caught in the backfield one more
Time junior smith number one four carries for nine yards last week and schrecko zezekovic was in on that one 14 games for the stampeders played in two great cups he’s one and one in the big one one win one loss i love the way he talks about his
Brother lubo his younger brother he said lubo’s not bad the only thing he lacks is a little respect for his more refined older brother yeah i’ll tell you lubo’s a little bigger than treco you know you can’t say that for too long i’m sure a little holding detected down there as
Toliver tries to escape and looks to the far side no one in the vicinity but holding would be the initial indication there where the penalty marker came down toliver couldn’t expect to have help forever holding 3.69 penalties declined third down and jefferson believe that’s the second time tonight he’s been singled out
And he’s not hard to find out there 69 335 penalties that’s a touchdown right there 111 yards well some nights you can get away with it if they’re not crucial but for the amount of yardage that those 10 penalties have generated 111 yards i mean that is just next to impossible to overcome
And the stampeders have been able to take advantage of some of those penalties thinking back to an interference call that kept the calgary drive going and set the stampeders up on the 30-yard line three-point number six robbie keane didn’t like the formation they appear to be a man
Short coming out of the field now is montgomery so they were likely playing american football with 11 guys out there you know i i don’t think there’s any question that shreveport is way ahead of course of where they were a year ago but still the you know the little things
Seem to haunt young teams and you know not having enough men out there the penalties we just talked about and you know these are things that forest greg’s gonna have to sit down with his young team and have a serious chat about you know if they want to be contenders
In the southern division which is possible well because it’s uh sure two new teams after baltimore you’ve got to be looking at fairly wide open areas well i think san antonio is a lot better san antonio will be better yes but i mean you know shreveport has to be
Saying look we’re in uh we’re in a hot competition with memphis in birmingham uh for the final playoff spot as one canadian team to come down and join them but they haven’t announced that yet you know i think it’s a done deal i think it is too but i don’t think it’s been
Officially made according to wally last night he was talking about the playoff format and it still had to be ratified by the players association your suggestion is correct and three american teams from the south would make the playoffs and then five canadian teams and one going down into a wild card
Situation into the onto the american side of the southern division here’s coleman and the pirates try and grab it away from marvin coleman after a 47-yard kick no-go still a little to cheer about pirates not quite out of it yet they trail by 17. over here amy what is it maybe you want
Touch stroke i don’t understand it sign it again peter pat amy no what hey you know i think she wants it touch hey they don’t always understand me either at the keg we welcome you to be our guest for a night of fun steaks on the grill and lots of juicy details
That’s why people keep coming back to the keg great steaks good friends see tonight that’s the story here calgary on top by 17 third quarter following the game the tsn turning points for royal lepage last year hundreds upon hundreds joined the force when you’re buying marsali call the force in real estate
Royal lepage and we’re back in time for the stampeders first down doug flutie at the controls beginning at the 23. he engineered a field goal on his last possession and he’s got the stampeders into first down territory again connecting with alan pitts perry over to make the tackle as pitts
Came back and tried to get a few extra yards he was definitely in first down territory when he made the catch yeah here’s what’s so good about alan pitts he’s working against the zone and as he comes down he just feels into the open area now he makes a mistake of
Going backwards when he catches the football and ron perry the linebacker 34 catches up with him but what’s the technique of pitts now he’s just looking hey i’m going to settle down right here because i know the ball is coming i got lots of room but boom perry shows up and
Gives him a pretty good shot in the head pitts does have enough for the first down just barely well he does it to you man to man he’s had a couple of touchdown catches tonight in the zone he just eats it alive he’s tough guys that’s an understatement tony stewart number 21
Alan pitts on the evening 97 a couple of touchdowns and we talked about tom forzani’s long-standing stampeder all-time touchdown mark of 62. alan pitts is within one after making his 61st earlier tonight well i mean he’s just amazing a year ago 126 a new league record reception broke his old record and
He had 118. second and six the punches the catch and let’s see where they spot the ball anthony sheldon the tackle on dave sipunges and it’s close we may need a measurement on this one that’s the more aggressive play that i think shreveport needs from their secondary as soon as the punches breaks
Down right here claps his hands and 23 sheldon’s going to show up in a hurry with a pretty solid hit around the neck but you know as a defensive back you get your chance at those receivers you want to make them pay and not be too interested in catching any more
Footballs for the night it’ll be a first down sipungas by inches previous play alan pitts got his first down by inches a very precise team at times now from the 43 flutie has a first down just under a minute to go in the third quarter with calgary leading 34 to 17 in
The shreveport pirates flutie shotgun stands up as a man open alan pitts and pitts is over 100 yards that’s a result of that a lot of 100-yard receiving games for alan pitts and for poor harold nash he’s been the victim tonight pitts really tough you know
Takes that move to the inside good speed turn by nash but you know of course the ball is in the air and that’s the thing about flutie and pits they work together so well as soon as pitts took that step to the inside the ball was in the air to the outside
And as a defensive back i mean that’s almost impossible to cover if flutie has that kind of time to throw stampeders are really an inside passing team i mean the two keys to this offense punches shares it pretty equally between them yeah wally buono talked about that last
Night he said we have to make a conscious effort to involve our wide receivers it goes like guys like terry vaughn yes makes that one keep other teams honest we have to use pee-wee smith and terry vaughn and you know we consciously think about that
Early in the ball game and i think if you recall pee-wee smith and von cotson balls in the first quarter earlier in the game and the inside game has opened up a little bit absolutely they’re going to tell defenses hey you better respect our outside guys because
We will use them if you try and double and jam inside another whole hum nights illegal procedure calgary 87 penalties declined second down well there’s no question john the key you know you play calgary and everybody says well what can you do to stop them
In my mind the only way you upset them is if you could get pressure on flutie somehow hands in his face or do whatever you can but if he’s allowed the kind of time to throw there’s really not a defense in the league that can handle it
He was sacked once early in this ball game now floating from the shotgun unless the weather gets cold unless the weather is a little chillier there’s pits again or check that danielson vince danielson number 88. another receiver who’s come back into the ball game or at least come back into the offense he
Caught a couple earlier that’ll be the end of the third quarter and the calgary stampeders continue the march toward the shreveport end zone heading to the fourth quarter the stampeders are on top 34-17 as we send you back to darren at cfl control this cfl live update is brought to you
By the keg where good friends get together to enjoy great steaks and share some fun welcome back to cfl control you get the feeling that the stamps can basically score at will in hamilton anthony cavillo is out of the football game we don’t believe that he’s that seriously hurt he is sitting
On the sidelines mike carrigan has replaced him the hamilton tiger cats are winning in a rather big way in this contest cavillo went in with three touchdowns on the year he’s thrown a couple more kerrigans taking over control in baltimore they’re really giving it the san antonio 43-17
Tracy ham with a couple of touchdown passes in that game baltimore lost their first game they’re bouncing back to the vengeance we’ll take a break and bounce back in moments at the keg we welcome you to be our guest for a night of fun steaks on the grill and lots of juicy details
That’s why people keep coming back to the keg great steaks good friends see tonight welcome back to toronto blue jays involved in a wild double dip with the oakland athletics the jays won the first game they now are trailing to one in the seventh inning of play alomar has
Been ejected let’s go back to the ball game gentlemen all right and here’s doug flutie intended that for the newcomer kevin reed number 87. pass it completes it for kevin reed second and 10 at the 32. wally buano the winningest coach in the canadian football league in the 90s his
Record coming into this game is an amazing 66-24 and one regular season very organized coach and i think one thing that really helps him is he’s always picked good assistance to be around him guys like john huffnagle and bob vespasiani frank good group second and ten flutie looks deep
And that one didn’t quite find the receiver there’s a penalty marker down and i’m not sure what they saw there harold nash was back there covering nash has had a tough time lately here forward pass interference 3.00 first down did you see this one late we’ll have to look again
More frustration for forest greg yeah frustration too for harold nash in coverage you’ll see pits on the wheel the out and up and here’s some contact right here as nash works into him he knows he’s in trouble as pitch goes to the up and he creates the contact and the officials felt it
Was enough setting up the stampeders first and ten at the 13. here’s flutie heading for the corner and he steps out about three yards shy of the goal line flutie has been into the end zone once along the ground so he was aiming for his second rushing touchdown of the evening
And the play fake just holds everybody alex mash takes one step down to the inside and that’s all it takes he can’t get out and get the containment and flutie comes up a little bit short but nevertheless it that play fake inside created so much open field for him
Is he limping a little bit out there leaf he was yeah i think he is shaken up a bit earlier in the game actually not hit but fell to the ground in an awkward position so production in the red zone which was a problem a week ago has not been tonight
First and goal to go from the three and no penalty flag there but there might have been i think i think harold nash as i said shot his shot there because he decided he was gonna climb all over pitts and you know i’m either gonna get called or you’re
Gonna make a heck of a play because he challenged him and i you have to like that he’s saying i’ve had enough of this i’m gonna get in his face and challenge him and like there’s any question it was interference he kind of got away with one he’s gonna
Bring a step ladder to the next game he has to cover alan pitts it’s a bit of a mismatch in height and experience second and goal go from the three stampeders should have the touchdown it’s a walk for tony stewart stewart was all alone and that was well set up by the stampeders
Stewart’s from three yards out look at this slowed right down and just glided across the line yeah breakdown and coverage stewart came out of the backfield nobody there coming on the blitz there you see it dante osborne inside and linebacker or the middle safety whoever had stewart in
Coverage one of those two players just uh had a breakdown didn’t get out there we didn’t have to slow that run down after he made the catch he was into the end zone in slow motion tony stewart has another touchdown stampeders add to the lead it is now 41-17 calgary leading the
Shreveport pirates with 1307 to go in the final quarter at independence stadium now pretty easy for doug flutie right away he recognizes there’s a coverage breakdown and all he’s thinking is how fast can i get it to tony stewart before they recover gets it to him quickly and nobody shows
Up and tony stewart can just walk into the end zone and calgary’s had everything pretty much their own way here in the second half tonight pretty routine night for doug flutie once again it’s the pressure if you don’t get it on him stampeders will not return home to
Calgary after this game they play ottawa week or next thursday night john and i will be there to bring you that game so they will travel there tomorrow morning and rather to go home and get on the planes and come back i think it’s pretty good move they’ll have some quality practice
Time on the road and you know much like in hockey the hockey players say hey oftentimes we like to get on the road together it helps us for the camaraderie and i don’t think there’s any question while i was kind of thinking along those lines too to
Work in some new young players except these guys are all going to miss the stampede that’s on his calgary right now that’s right stan peter shut it down while the stampedes on they don’t usually play during that time usually they get a chance to go home and uh ride a pony or two
I asked some of the guys you know it’s a stampede after all these years still a big thing and they said you betcha we love him montgomery out to the 35-yard line make it to 36 and billy joe heads back in to try and answer the challenge set down by doug flutie
Nine plays 87-yard drive that time and stewart with an easy touchdown from three yards out on the pass from doug flutie so flutie has thrown a couple to pits one to stewart carried for one himself and the new running back in the calgary lineup got in yeah nice enough to score one two
Now he’s working on marketing yes working on some marketing down here it’s oliver looking for basinger now there’s a beverly flag down on the stampeder secondary well away from basinger who’s the closest receiver to the ball that’s fluty f.l.u i’m darren’s brother ford pass interference deliberate calgary 37 first down
So a little bit of a break for the pirates there interesting move you see matt finley there 37 we really haven’t talked about it tonight it hasn’t been a factor in the game but he has moved from the outside linebacking spot to the middle and he likes playing in there and that
Allowed marvin pope to go to the outside they’ll move pope all over the place this year and use him much more as a pass rusher than they did when he was the middle linebacker subtle change oliver on first down from the shotgun i don’t think he’ll get it away that’s
Great effort by will johnson i mean he works hard to get it to get to get that sack he comes a long way you know he’s working on danelle johnson at the top here watching comes all the way around with the speed rush but the thing you love about will johnson
Is the tenacity he brings to the game a lot of guys might stop right there with oliver steps up but he keeps coming and picks up the sack johnson led the stampeders and the cfl with sacks in 1994 17. it’s oliver and nowhere to go that time closest receiver was curtis mayfield
Number 89. and i’ll tell you that’s mayfield’s fault you know toliver’s been around a long time to know that when the whole opens up in the zone and you get the lane that’s where you have to put the football in kind of an inexperienced play by mayfield once you get into that hole
You better stay there now he’s got to stop right there now see he slides it in too far and that’s where you’re going to get into trouble with the linebackers oliver threw it to the opening mayfield has to make the adjustment but there again you know that need time to
Work on these things robbie keane the 30. barely got it away high kick coleman away from a couple but there’s not much space up the middle for marvin coleman 39-yard punt from keene that time stampeders will be first and ten when we return to shreveports our favorite product is a new product we
Just put on the market and it’s a canadian style veggie back bacon creating something totally new that didn’t exist before longest tense is a major expense in our company the advantage saving plan is much more competitive and based on the last four or five years our

Roughriders cfl 95 live on tsn your summer hot spot welcome back to cfl control it’s now a final in hamilton the ti-cats win by a score of 31-13 anthony tavia with a couple of touchdown passes he did have to leave the game due to injury we’ll try and
Update it before the end of our show let’s go back to john and leaf at shreveport ty cats with her second win of the season good football story in hamilton well you have to like it for don southern who’s in his first full year as the head coach
Of that team and uh they made some great acquisitions in the off season that are paying off and uh i’m happy for them they were billing it as the fish fry with the uh barracudas coming to town so i guess they uh fried the fish i like that
11 24 to go fourth quarter stampeders first and ten and garcia is in for flutie at quarterback garcia rolling to his right finds saplungus has not seen a great deal of playing time because doug flutie likes to play a lot two for four and 17 yards last season
When he did get into the football action jeff garcia out of san jose state he had a good pre-season game the wally buana was saying last night in fact i asked him you know like would you be comfortable with garcia that’s where wally double clutched he
Did double clutch he said well i mean i i think he has the credentials but you know we really haven’t seen him he played well in pre-season for us but you know that doesn’t necessarily count there’s a chance to get a little playing time with the stampeders comfortably in front and garcia
Has contact there but vaughn lost a lot of yards after making the catch it was a decent run penalty markers are down terry vaughn made the catch he looked to be about halfway to a first down but it was second down and that wasn’t going to
Be enough so von took off the other way that’s a lot of running on a hot night for not a lot of marriage you know what i liked about jeff garcia illegal block calgary 23 penalties declined third down that’s tyrone edwards with the illegal block you always look at a young
Quarterback to see what kind of technique he has and as garcia was waiting and waiting for that to develop kept those feet moving and always remember that quarterback coach is saying to the quarterbacks i played for time and time again they’d say keep those feet moving when
You stop and you’re standing still it’s tough to deliver the football and well he really did it nicely on that play stampeders will kick it away in third and seven martino back at the 25. freeman basinger waits for it in his 18. and he found a little bit of a window
There to the outside but he was quickly closed 52-yard kick there stampeders comfortably in control on a hot night in shreveport it’s 41-17 combining outstanding design technology and craftsmanship the metal protector from wilkinson’s sword a razor so sharp it has to be kept behind bars wilkinson swords protective guard wires ensure

Carlos herrerto with five field goals in the game the stallions are now one and one how about this the horse with no name has a name the baltimore stallion yeah i like it they come back with a bench it’s after losing out to bc last friday night
50 points this sport tonight talk about additions to clubs you know we’ve talked about the dishes both these teams have made carlos huerta with five field goals as darren mentioned is a nice addition for baltimore brad for the ball carrier that time number two getting into
Uh the pirate lineup late in the game 9 31 to go fourth quarter stampeders leading 41-17 calgary scored at will a couple of times in the ball game and here’s a big charge he got it away talbert number seven boy calgary 41-17 and they’re still coming at tolliber here comes gerald
Vaughn on the half-back blitz to get the initial pressure and they’re not letting up hey they want to see some of their defenses too i quite understand this they want to see how their players perform in certain blitz situations it’s oliver running for his life there got it away
Markers are down as toliver looks long for curtis mayfield and mayfield can’t catch up to it how far was that in the air about 60. about 60. he’s got an arm i may not have the offensive line he needs i think this is holding offside calgary 91 holding 69. i was partnered together
Report don repeated so they’ll repeat the down on the penalties one going each way wally doesn’t understand why that would happen stampeders led the cfl in 14 defensive categories i think i said 11 a little bit earlier and 16 on offense in 1994 superb season 15-3 one playoff win and then the
Unforgettable playoff loss in calgary here’s mayfield from toliver he’s out near the 45-yard line well that’s what you want to do first and 15. just try and get some of it back and a smart call by toler mayfield on the hitch pretty tough batter for kim phillips to cover on the corner
They get a good half of it back right there on one catch second and seven pirates having six receivers there’s patton making the catch number five calver’s pass is complete to martin patton and that should force that flip the down marker a terrific recognition by billy joe
Toliver he quickly saw that once again gerald vaughn was coming on the halfback blitz to the right side and as soon as bond came he knew that greg knox the middle safety would have a long way to go to cover his running back and he got it to him in a hurry
Well you know that six years experience with uh san diego atlanta and houston pays off you’ve seen a few blitzes and then it just becomes recognition and how quickly you can get rid of the football to the right guy injured stampeder appears to be lubos zazakovic action here in the independence bowl a
Couple of years ago fourth year in the cfl he began his career with the tiger cats a couple of texans talking it over forrest greg and billy joe toliver this reminder be sure to stop by your locally owned and operated johnny oliver has had his moments tonight but
He has not been the equal of doug flutie by any stretch of the imagination well he’s talking about pressure once again gerald vaughn but see how quickly toliver reads it and he knows where to go with the football and that was the exact spot to go a long way for knox to come
Lumos izakovic helped to the sidelines on the far side of the field it’s good to see that from a quarterback yeah fool me once because maybe i wasn’t expecting that hammer blitz but the second time ha ha i see it coming and i can throw to the
To the right area lubo is six eight so he towers over pat clayton and uh chris fleming from the stampeder medical staff what would they do if he had to put his arms on their shoulders like they do sometimes they have to get off i think they’d have to call for help
It’s oliver standing in got it away just in time and it’s picked up at the last second is canton leonard jumped in front of that one yeah the illusion of the zone defense you know initially i got a guy wide open down the sidelines they’ve blown the coverage
And all of a sudden kent leonard comes out of nowhere in that zone he’s got the deep third and you see knox sliding that way too but oliver thinks hey i’ve got a home run here but leonard from nowhere slides way across tremendous speed steps in front of walker and has the interception
Ken leonard played a little football in these parts at nichols state here in louisiana i see he’s a little disappointed in himself well he he knows he got fooled by the zone he’s saying i can’t believe i did that ken leonard doesn’t get a lot of interception stampeders on first down not much
Open on the left side kent leonard they how great he would be if he had hands back there he’s just not the guy who comes up with clutch interceptions but he’s a very solid halfback the mainstay of the calgary defense for several seasons now hands of stone they said he’s a terrific
Guy he’s overcome some very serious personal tragedies to continue on with his professional career and rise above all the things that have happened to him in his life he’s a real role model for a lot of young people garcia at the controls for the stampeders and a strike there for jeff garcia on
Second and ten completes the budget the punjab’s making the catch up near the 45-yard line garcia’s completed a couple he’s in relief of doug flutie who had a big lead and wally buono decided to give garcia a chance and flutie a bit of a rest 41-17 stampeders leading the pirates
Time ticking down fourth quarter 6 28 to play while you talk about alex pitts and the kind of production he’s had throughout his career how about that 81 regular season games and 35 have been 100 receiving yard games that is pretty impressive to go along with that
He’s got a 72 consecutive game catching streak going i mean this guy has done it all and 61 career touchdowns one shy of tom forzani’s all-time stampedermark he’s got two here tonight garcia airs this one out and just a little bit too far for the newcomer terry vaughn who didn’t have
Quite enough speed to catch up to that one that time well i mentioned it looked as though jeff garcia had very very good footwork for a young quarterback and he uses that good footwork to elude the rush and could have had his first professional touchdown watch the quick
Feet right there to the outside gosh he looks like a young flutie doesn’t he got some moves and didn’t miss by all that much when you looked at it from that angle 41-17 stampeders on top of the pirates and calgary into a punting situation tony martino into the game
Martino has not had a very busy night good kicking team the stampeders have two mclaughlin and martino are super tandem rod harris ready to return for the pirates away from the first stampeder but he got caught by the second wave alan pitts enjoying another fine nights
So the stampeders at 4117 on cfl live being a pilot that’s not just handling the stick control is it’s what goes on up here i’d say i tend to be a detail sort of person and in this business if you don’t pay attention to detail you’re dead in this past year we’ve done
Training for people from both the us and canada our advantage 800 number gives us the opportunity to reach these people who are spread over north america it gives us an instant credibility and it puts us in the major u.s competitors the big boys if you want 20-foot baskets 300-point games
100-yard courts in the future athletes will make the game faster farther tougher but today’s athlete can choose new all sport fluid replacement unsurpassed taste fourth there’s quenching flavors all sport is a body quencher so before it gets to this new all sport the game will never be the same welcome
Back to cfl control it’s the eighth inning jay’s down three one eck on to try and nail it down forget it molly will take him deep to left a two run shot that ties the baseball game up at three toronto trying to take two of the double dip
Because you wear until their tongues hang out mycotine penetrates the skin to kill athlete’s foot well part of the shreveport game plan is starting to work now they were hoping some of the big canadian guys would get tired and run out of gas unfortunately as it happens here
Two stampeders cramping up a little bit the scores already 41-17 and the new quarterback for the pirates is michael johnson played a couple of games for the bc lions a couple of years ago he’s a left-hander and unloads off target his first throw the ball game
Yeah i played eight uh eight games for shreveport last year and kind of shuffled between the arena league and then the back with the shreveport pirates ended up a starter for the pirates in the last four games of last season and won three of those fours the pirates finally got around to
Getting a few things rolling after going owen 14 to start the season but johnson finds himself in a backup role again with billy joe toliver as the starting quarterback here’s johnson on second and 10. likes to run a little bit slide safely but well short of a first down
4 34 to go fourth quarter and it’s been a long night for the pirates third down and they decide that uh there’s nothing to lose as you check out sipungus on the bench talking to zizikovic third and two facing johnson and the pirates here he’s fairly close to the first half i
Think that little extra lunge at the end will get him the first down do you think martin patton’s nickname might be general might be might be someone has called him general somewhere all along the way i’m sure stampeders on the verge of their second straight victory pirates headed for their second straight defeat
Billy joe on the sidelines he couldn’t get it done tonight a couple of touchdown tosses to wayne walker well the pirates really couldn’t sustain it they’d score and then the stampeders would come right back into the game and add even a field goal but just to take the
Wind out of their sails johnson is pelted right there walker number 99 in for the sack there have been a couple of sacks by the stampeders tonight’s well kenny walker played the rush end and now moved down to the tackle spot and he gets good pressure on michael johnson
Little swim technique on the left guard chuck reed and boom just throws him off and michael johnson pays the price that makes it second and 18. johnson is down again stampeders showing relentless pressure as pope gets through for another sack number 91 marvin pope two minutes and 43 seconds to go in shreveports
That means we’ve got the three-minute warning a rough night for michael johnson and he’s only been in the game for about a minute and a half 115 years of tradition one distinctive recipe zero preservatives too smooth for words 100 canadian brood 5 alcohol equals one good beer
It’s all we do because this bud’s for you the all-new mercury mystique drives like no other car in this class with four-wheel independent suspension a 16-valve z-tech engine that delivers the best highway fuel economy in its class as well as 14 other features not found on any other car in its class
As for the rest class dismissed drive the all-new mercury mystique welcome back to cfl control doug fluting the stamps really on fire tonight you can catch them next thursday as they roll into ottawa floaty fantastic this evening three touchdown passes what will he do against the roughriders it’s july the 13th
You can catch it only here on the sports network it is a seven o’clock start eastern time yeah darren you know that’s a matchup that really plays into the hands of a doug flute he loves to play against the defense that likes to blitz and come after him and take chances
And ottawa blitz is about 70 of the time it’ll be a big test for them on third down keane’s kick at the 25 taken by bond nice little opening for vaughn he’s fired ahead on the tackle by junior smith that was good for about five extra yards as smith grabbed
One and flipped him ahead flutie is still signing on the sidelines now they’re nice with spectacular numbers for doug flutie 22 of 33 333 yards through the air three touchdowns and he ran for one himself and i think john billy joe toliver’s numbers are excellent for only his second
Cfl game you know almost 300 yards passing i don’t think you could ask for anything more for him right now i think they should be extremely pleased i mean defense and penalties have really been the downfall for the pirates tonight meantime it’s garcia the controls for the stampeders rolling to his left he’s
On target it’ll be a first down calgary allen pitts that’s another catch he’s well over 100 yards receiving so far tonight and with the two touchdowns and i think i know it’s late in the game and everybody’s tired on defense but i’m still impressed with the the
Technique of young jeff garcia the way he moves his feet steps up into the pocket he delivered a perfect strike but see the difference like pitts is able to find the zone and stay in there you know mayfield of course for shreveport couldn’t find the lane and stay in it
Just difference in experience eight catch for pitts 139 yards on the knights there’s catch well it’s not pissed that’s he’s been busy as well and another first down for the calgary stampeders the slot backs worked so well for doug flutie and garcia hasn’t uh let that escape him he’ll go inside and
Pass the two sure handers like that yeah i think staphon just signaled him because nobody came up in coverage on saponja said you saw that garcia as soon as he got the ball it was all he could do to get it to him as fast as he could i
I really think between receiver quarterback they made that play up on the line of scrimmage just visually stampeders threatening to add to their total they already lead it 41-17 with a minute 36 to play but the backup quarterbacks at the controls and he wants to hit the end zone as well
Jeff garcia far side shawn daniels makes the catch he hasn’t touched the football a lot in the first two games he really hasn’t but they were happy to get him because he gives them another dimension he’s a solid blocker but he has decent hands and can run with the
Football a little bit that allows them to slide stewart out as a fifth receiver at times yeah there you see as he came down they one foot definitely hit the line at the same time 511 240 pounds solid lead blocker as well second and six stampeders at the 23.
Garcia stands in and fires touchdown he has a touchdown and so does terry vaughn jeff garcia to terry vaughn one more for the stampeder total and garcia celebrating for obvious reasons he doesn’t get an opportunity to play much behind flutie because floaty loves to play the game but garcia
Had a chance tonight he played quite a bit in the third quarter engineered a solid drive here now you can’t fault him for not wanting to get one in the end zone and this is some serious zip on the football the post by vaughn hangs on avoids the hit from shelton coming across
And what a lovely touchdown reception that was good solid pattern willing to go in where he knows there’s going to be traffic and yet still concentrate well enough to make the touchdown reception and one more for mark mclaughlin’s total he hasn’t missed a thing all season it’s only game number two
But he’s hit all his field goals and garcia has a touchdown toss right there on his way to shake hands with terry vaughn in the end zone that’s quick as he’s run tonight pretty clean effort for the stampeders tonight a minute 23 remaining on a long night for the pirates in shreveport
That’s the new wide receiver for the stampeders well you know nothing not to take anything away from brian wiggins and will moore who are terrific wide receivers with calgary but i mean the replacements pee-wee smith and terry vaughn have done a terrific job tonight and you know life goes on and
I don’t think calgary’s really missing a beat here well they haven’t so far we talked about it earlier that flutie has spread the passes around to all his receivers did so in week one he’s done it again here tonight now garcia comes in and uses a couple of receivers he uses the inside
Guys and then goes to vaughn the newcomer on the outside for the touchdown second meeting between the stampeders and the shreveport pirates in team history calgary won 52-8 in the only meeting at mcmahon stadium in 1994 so the pirates have improved by at least nine points offensively with billy joe toliver who’s
Fired a couple of touchdown tosses tonight this is montgomery on the return for the pirates loses his footing he’s down at the 45 thought he was down about five yards earlier but he stumbled ahead for a couple more the cfl live on tsn brought to you by pepsi pepsi reminds
You to be young have fun drink pepsi and buy bell advantage long distance services from the alliance of canada’s only full-service telecommunications companies michael johnson at the controls for the pirates for the final one minute 14 seconds sacked a couple of times early got it away for junior smith that time number one
Now 106 to play stampeders move on to ottawa for a date with the rough riders on thursday night we’ll be there for that along with these guys tony greg pretty solid safety we haven’t mentioned his name a whole bunch tonight but greg knox is an extremely competent safety a lot of
People think he’s the best yeah i think he is i wouldn’t argue with that one all canadian a year ago with 10 interceptions tough to say that he’s not one of the best if not the best 10 interceptions at that spot uh that’s huge did earn them all canadian
Status but it’s not an area where you get the opportunity to get into those hammers although we looked into remy trudeau on opening night he got a couple in his first game for the ottawa rough riders and takes a start on route to becoming a guy who could hit ted
So it’ll be uh remy versus greg at franklin stadium on thursday night and danny versus doug and a whole bunch of other matchups yeah brent young and gary lewis the two inside halfbacks for ottawa are going to really have their hands full yeah they’ll be watching splunges
In this one and then one on one hopper from michael johnson 44 seconds to go in shreveport you know one thing about brad young and gary lewis though even though they lost in toronto i’ve been oppressed with the aggressiveness of of the secondary of ottawa i mean they’re
They’re willing to take some chances and uh my goodness you have to as much as they will blitz they may not blitz as much against doug flutie but i’m looking forward to that match-up see if ottawa could regroup after a tough loss in toronto the other night
Gotta give the argos some credit for uh hanging on to that victory though three they were 1-0 baltimore was 0 and 1. we’ll continue to update these games as they progress okay we’re going to take a short break we leave you with the league scoring leaders heading into this
Evening’s action and what a start for the argos reggie barnes and bc’s corey philpott mcdonald’s halftime continues in a moment
