CALGARY -- All signs point to Bo Levi Mitchell being Calgarys starter Friday against the Edmonton Eskimos although the best term to describe the Stampeders quarterback situation this season is fluid. Air Jordan 12 Wholesale . Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel indicated the order of selection on his quarterback depth chart is Mitchell, Drew Tate and Kevin Glenn. But he cautioned that could change prior to the Labour Day rematch in Edmonton. "If we had to play today, Bo would be No. 1, Drew would be No. 2 and Kevin would be No. 3," Hufnagel said Wednesday. Glenn started but Mitchell finished Mondays 37-34 win over Edmonton at McMahon Stadium. Calgary led 37-7 in the fourth quarter before Edmonton rallied to score 27 straight points and make a game of it. Mitchell completed 11-of-18 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns in relief of Glenn, who left in the second quarter with a bruised knee. It appears the 23-year-old Mitchell, Calgarys No. 3 quarterback in training camp, will get the ball again. With Tate and Glenn moving in and out of the lineup this season, Mitchell is getting plenty of work for a third-string player. "Its another chance for me to get out there and get some more experience, get out there and play some games with the guys and try and get another win," Mitchell said. "Youre playing the same team, but its a completely different game. "Youre definitely not going to prepare the exact seem. Youre going to change some things up." Tate began the season as the incumbent but has struggled with an injury to his right throwing arm. The 28-year-old hasnt played since the fourth quarter of a July 5 loss to Saskatchewan. Glenn, 34, has started six games in Tates absence but hasnt finished three of them due to injuries. Mitchell started and went the distance in Calgarys 37-24 win over Winnipeg on July 26, throwing for 376 passing yards and three TDs. He has completed 51-of-72 passes (70.8 per cent) with nine touchdowns and no interceptions. The Eastern Washington product was slow off the bench Monday. Calgary recovered its own second-half kickoff and was primed to score from the seven-yard line when a Mitchell pass intended for Maurice Price was knocked down and nearly intercepted by Joe Burnett. The Stampeders settled for a field goal. Mitchell did throw two short TD passes to Price later in the second half, which proved to be important given Edmontons late surge. The explosive Price had three touchdown catches and was named the CFLs offensive player of the week Wednesday. If Mitchell starts Friday, Hufnagel wants a more polished performance. "Just to take care of the football, manage the game and do the things we want our quarterback to do," Hufnagel said. "Get the ball to our playmakers. "There were some mistakes that occurred at the quarterback position when he was in the game that I would like to see not be repeated." Glenn wasnt ruling himself out of Fridays game but that prospect seemed unlikely two days out. "I came out and practised and was still a little sore, so right now well go day by day," he said. "You have to be completely healthy because they have a good front four. "In this league, youve got to be able as a quarterback to sometimes get away from the rush and defensive guys. You want to make sure youre 100 per cent to go out there and play." Tate was expected to return for an Aug. 9 game against Saskatchewan but had a setback to start that week. "Im ready to go in and play if I have to play," Tate said. "Im still not to the point where Id like to be, but Im at the point where I believe that if I do go, Ill have confidence in my arm to get first downs." A solid 7-2 record has helped make Calgarys quarterback carousel seem less dramatic and more the accepted norm. The atmosphere in Calgary is in stark contrast to Edmonton (1- , which has lost five straight by five points or less and hasnt won at home this season. Quarterback Mike Reilly was sacked seven times Monday, with Calgary defensive lineman Charleston Hughes accounting for three of them and claiming defensive player-of-the-week honours. Although Reilly got up after every hit, Edmonton cant afford to have its starter take a beating, especially with such a quick turnaround for a game the Eskimos desperately need to win. Eskimos GM Ed Hervey publicly lambasted his team Tuesday. He singled out Alberta-born offensive lineman Simeon Rottier by stating, "It wouldnt bother me if he didnt play another down this year." The state of the Edmonton franchise makes Calgarys seem serene by comparison even with the somewhat unsettled quarterback situation. While theres limited sympathy for the opposition, Herveys comments raised Prices eyebrows. "I saw it for myself on TV," Price said. "I dont agree with how he did that, especially singling out the one player out like that by name. "He shouldnt do it. It doesnt make anything better by doing that."

Seven years of losing has brought many different faces, players and management, to the annual pre-season get-to-know-the-team round up. http://www.cheapairjordan12.net/ . Which is to say, the top of this years draft class is not as dynamic or exciting as the 2013 class of Nate MacKinnon, Sasha Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones and its not as strikingly promising as the highly-anticipated 2015 slate of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Pistons will get a third crack at the Milwaukee Bucks when the two Central foes clash Friday at The Palace.

Our second group (late in the third) got defensive-minded and rebounded the ball, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, (the starters) picked it right back up. We found a way to win on the road. The road ahead is a tough one for Kidds group, which will face the likes of Houston, Cleveland, Dallas, Miami, the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix, Portland and Sacramento. ' ' ' |
