Stampeders win key road game against Hamilton

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Calgary Stampeders’ running back Jon Cornish stepped up with a key game Thursday night at Hamilton’s Ivor Wynne Stadium.

After being in the negative category in rushing yards in his last game (-1), and criticizing his offensive line, Cornish was much better last night as he rushed for 170 yards in a 31-20 Calgary win over Hamilton.

With the win, the Stampeders improve to 3-3 while Hamilton fell to 3-3. Just how close is the East at the moment? Hamilton, the Toronto Argonauts and Montreal Alouettes are all tied for first place with similar .500 records.

This was the first time the Stampeders played the Tiger-Cats since the two teams made their famous offseason blockbuster deal that saw quarterback Henry Burris traded from Calgary to Hamilton for quarterback Kevin Glenn and offensive lineman Mark Dewit. Ironically both teams came out sluggish and did not score in the first quarter.

The Stampeders dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring the Tiger-Cats 14-0 on an eight yard touchdown run by Romby Bryant and an eight yard touchdown pass from Glenn to Nik Lewis.

Stampeders trade Burris to Tiger-Cats for Glenn

Monday, January 2nd, 2012
In a blockbuster trade in the Canadian Football League the Calgary Stampeders have traded Henry Burris to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for Kevin Glenn.

According to Dave Naylor of TSN, offensive lineman Mark Dewit would also be traded from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Calgary Stampeders.

In 2011, Glenn was fourth in the Canadian Football League with 3,963 yards, while Burris was fifth with 3,687 yards.

Burris though had a better quarterback rating than Glenn– 93.6 to 86.8 and a better touchdown to interception ratio of 20:12, compared to Glenn’s 19:17.

An interesting element of the deal is that Burris and Glenn were both involved in quarterbacking controversies in 2011, and even though they are trading places, the controversies at the quarterback position does not look like they will quiet down whatsoever.

Expect Tate to still be the  number one quarterback in Calgary, but it isn’t completely clear if Glenn will be brought in to compete for the number one job, or if he will be used as a backup.

As for Burris, a similar situation exists. There’s a question if he will be the number one quarterback in Hamilton or if Quinton Porter will compete for the starting job.
