CALGARY -- The unbeaten Calgary Stampeders appear to have a favourable matchup this Friday when they host a winless Hamilton Tiger-Cats team missing its starting quarterback, but middle linebacker Juwan Simpson is taking nothing for granted. Watch the Stampeders vs. Tiger-Cats live tonight on TSN and TSN GO at 10pm et/7pm pt. "Everybody asks us if were going to take this game lightly and we cant because its the field of unknown," said Simpson in regards to the Ticats (0-2), who will be without several key starters including quarterback Zach Collaros. Jeremiah Masoli will make his first career CFL start at quarterback for the Ticats in place of Collaros, whos out of the lineup with head and back injuries after being flattened by a helmet hit to the chin by Eskimos linebacker Odell Willis in the second quarter of Hamiltons 28-24 road loss to Edmonton on July 4. "I dont feel like Im just being thrown in there," said Masoli, whos in his second CFL season. "Ive been preparing for this for a while now. I feel prepared and confident." Hamilton coach Kent Austin has confidence that Masoli can get the job done. "Hes excited," Austin said. "We have really high expectations for our quarterbacks like other teams do, and Jeremiah knows that and understands that and he embraces that. Its not like he hasnt been in big situations before. Hes a pretty laid back player and has a great perspective. Hes very endearing to his teammates." Masoli took over for Collaros in Edmonton and completed 5-of-15 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown to go with three turnovers -- an interception and two fumbles. "He had a tough outing, but hes a very accurate thrower, can move in the pocket, has good vision down the field, can extend plays - all the things you want in a quarterback," said Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. "They do have changes especially at the quarterback position, but they have done creative things with their quarterbacks in the past and theyve substituted in and out." Hufnagel praised his defensive co-ordinator Rich Stubler for doing his homework to prepare the Stamps (2-0) for whatever the Ticats will throw at them. "Hes tried to prepare the football team defensively to see all kinds of things," Hufnagel said. "You just have to play your scheme and react to what they present to you." Both teams have key injuries as Hamilton will be without linebackers Simoni Lawrence and Rico Murray along with left tackle Joel Figueroa (all lower body), while running back Jon Cornish is still out of Calgarys lineup with a concussion along with linebacker Deron Mayo (groin strain), defensive back Keon Raymond (thigh bruise) and receiver Maurice Price (broken hand). "You just fill in and reload," Simpson said. "When you get to this level, everybodys capable no matter how deep you go on the depth chart. Its not like high school where if one player goes down, thats it for the team. Were very fortunate to have depth." Due to the injuries to Raymond and Mayo, Lin-J Shell and Glenn Love will be elevated to starter status for the Stamps. "I expect good things from both of them," Simpson said. "Theyre both smart guys and good football players." Receiver Jeff Fuller is coming off his best outing with Stamps during Calgarys 34-15 win over the Argonauts in Toronto and hes looking forward to continuing his progress against Hamilton. "It was a good win, but weve just got to keep building on it," said Fuller, who hauled in a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell against the Argos. "Im looking forward to a big game this week. I felt like we had a good week of preparation, even though it was a short week." Mitchell commended offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson for getting the Stamps ready to take on the Ticats. "Dicky is one of those guys whos not going to hold anything back," said Mitchell, who had an impressive outing in Toronto when he threw four TD passes. "He makes sure that were all ready to do anything that we can do on offence. We have a lot of things that we can do - a lot of misdirection. We have a lot of guys to throw to. We dont ever focus on one person." For the Ticats to be successful against the Stamps, theyll have to concentrate on stopping Mitchell, who completed 16-of-24 passes for 267 yards against the Argos. "Bo definitely brings some energy to the field," said Hamilton nose tackle Brian Bulcke, who played two years for the Stamps before signing with the Ticats prior to last season. "Thats something I noted my years here. As a defensive line, having guys like (Eric) Norwood and (Brandon) Boudreaux on the edge to chase him down I think is really important, so were just trying to get those guys fired up."

You dont hear the mumbling and groaning about players re-signing here. You just got Lou Williams to sign, Kyle Lowry re-signed, DeMars on his second contract, Amirs been here for a long time.I think that novelty is over as it relates to winning. And when you follow winning in the NBA, it always starts from the top down. And I appreciate what Tim Leiweke has done with the franchise, creating a culture, bringing in Masai (Ujiri, GM), who undid a lot of moves in the past that probably werent the best moves. So now the city has a team they can really be proud of.The 41-year-old Rose, who received a standing ovation from the Air Canada Centre crowd, played part of three seasons with Toronto between 2003 and 06, but never made a playoff appearance with the Raptors. He both praised and sounded slightly envious of the current Raptors squad and management.Ive always talked about how great the fans are here, how its awesome not only to have a city or state rooting for you, but also to have a country rooting for you, Rose said. And you have to look no further than the progress of Toronto basketball than how the crowd showed up in Cleveland, those We the North chants on LeBron James home floor. And to get a win, that says a lot about where the team has come.He spoke about the growth of the game in Canada, mentioning consecutive No. 1 draft picks Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins, plus two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash.So its not a novelty anymore, for a lot of people to feel who said can they really play ball in Toronto? Rose said.Rose was hugely popular with the media during his time in Toronto — the game during which he was dropped from the startiing lineup, he showed up dressed entirely in black, right down to his black drawers.ddddddddddddHe was similarly engaging as he spoke with reporters before Friday nights tipoff — funny, but honest, about the questionable moves made by management during his days in Toronto.When asked about Vince Carters emotional response when the Raptors honoured him recently, Rose said: Well, the way he was overcome by emotion and the way he shed a couple of tears, thats how I felt when we traded him for Aaron (Williams), Eric (Williams) and Alonzo Mourning who never was deciding to make the trip.Rose said Carter deserved the recent warm reception he received from Toronto fans.As a player who has been traded before I know that when things get out to the public like where your mom is parking, that means somebody in the front office is clearly leaking information to try to make you look bad and make the transition easier when you move a great player like him, he said. Both sides deserved (a reconciliation), so I was happy to see it.Rose said that Carter was misunderstood in Toronto.He was really a genuine, nice person and a lot of people said we wanted him to have the killer instinct of Kobe Bryant or we wanted him to have the fire of another player but he was such a talented player, long arms, big hands, could shoot the three, you guys knew he was a high flyer, Rose said. I mean this guy could walk into practice and do a reverse 360 eating a sandwich. Im serious, Ive seen him do it.Rose, who averaged 18.5 points and 2.6 assists a night in his one full season with the Raptors —2004-05 — was asked about his favourite memory from Toronto. He offered up the broken hand he suffered in a game versus Golden State. I remember telling the guys I think I broke my hand, he said. To finish that game, we won the game, and then I flew back to Toronto, had surgery on my hand, got a plate with five screws on my hand, still to remind me of it every day. So, my bionic hand from my time playing for the Raptors. ' ' '
