Edmonton Elks vs Calgary Stampeders LDC Week 13 Full Game 2024

in Calgary sets the stage for a fitting finish to a fabulous Labor Day weekend in the CFL it's the Battle of Alberta with two huge points on the line Edmonton has won three of their last four to get themselves back in this race two game slide for Calgary and then be looking at one of their defensive leaders to step up today well the Edmonton elks have rushed the ball for almost 750 yards in the last four games Calgary's middle linebacker Micah awe is one of the best run Stoppers in the [Applause] league and he's well aware of the Elks running game so rock meet hard place speaking of rocks Edmonton's middle linebacker Niles Morgan leads the league and is on Pace for 120 defensive tackles it's Calgary it's Edmonton it's Labor Day buckle up it's going to be physical what a way to wrap up this week cannot wait to kick things off here Calgary as we mentioned dropped two in a row Edmonton 3 and one in the month of August to essentially save their season stamp Peters have owned this day winning 10 of the last 11 Edmonson finally getting one back in 2021 Calgary won the toss deferred Edmonton will start the game with the ball and we are underway at McMahon first return to the Ball Game shy of the 25 and the physicality starts early this is what Labor Day is it's another notch do you move it up it's like a playoff game Labor Day physicality you'll see it immediately opening kickoff it's not just a hit it's a straight Tak down y nice way to start the game Bailey Scott sets the tone just 10 seconds in Edington will start on their own 25 and they'll start it on the ground why not very effective running the ball as of late Leak with the carry let's take a look at MBT getting the start today thrown for over 2,000 yards completed just shy of 60 or 70% of his passes 14 touchdowns to eight interceptions one and8 but one of the wins recently more recently both Trey Ford and McLoud bethl are dressed for this game Trey Ford is healthy enough to play but they'd love to give him one more week and hope that McLoud be Thompson can get the win Edmonton coming off a very tight game against Montreal last week the cloud beel Thompson to throw for the first time today Far Side Gino Lewis trying to keep his feet in quick discussion amongst the officials and they say he did good L match up here to see Eugene Lewis against de Mario Houston get to those starting lineups in just a second but that's right out there with a little toe tap from Gino Lewis and ta that toe inbounds nice catch exactly what he needed to do over 500 yd on the season for 87 back on the ground again right up the middle decent push ahead it's leak healthy for this Edmonton offense offensive line has played together now for five straight games one of the reasons they've been so successful running the football more on that as the game unfolds and go back and see Javon leak who missed their last game due to injury against Montreal he's fresh healthy and ready to start in that back field three different running backs all dressed here for the Edmonton Elks in this one this evening and as I mentioned off the top 750 yds in the last four games all three of their running backs dress have a 100yd game in their last four games doesn't matter who's in there's an incomplete pass looking for Dylan Mitchell working against Roberson and it'll be a punting situation for MBT in the Edmonton offense Calgary won the toss and deferred to the second half Edmonton got the ball first and that's when you do that you want to get that lead going in at halftime we'll see how Jake Mayer looks as he gets his chance coming up let's go mother looking great G Julian set to kick it away leaves the league with an average of 53.1 yd per punts lets this one fly just outside as own 30 that's over the head and through the end zone as pton Logan just watches on and Edmonton on the board first here with the single Jake Meers completed 72% of his passes this year touchdown to interception ratio 14-7 he's 2 and one on Labor Day so has a winning record in this game he's completed 70% of his passes in those three Labor Day starts 300 over 300 yd in last year's Labor Day Victory Calgary came away on top 3531 they'll start on their 40 after the single handed off to get things started K Hill trying to bounce outside but he's pushed back for a loss on the first play of the ball game for Calgary up front on the offensive line for the Calgary stamp Peters Bryce Bell was a last second scratch so Kyle saxed will play at left guard for him and the veteran in this receiving Corp is Reggie Bagon you heard the guys talk about it in the pregame show if I were going to pick that first score or anytime score it might be Reggie here in this one we'll leave that up to the panel Reggie has some catch in 62 straight games watch for him to be involved heavily today second and 13 for Jake May second in the league in passing yards coming into this game deep shot down the field incomplete oh my Michelle steps in it looked like Hyman was going to have it Ismail Hyman is the wi receiver and Mark and Michelle the inside slotback receiver you see they start at the line of scrimmage together and they're both running go routes Little Hook and go from Mark and Michelle and a straight go route but they both think they're the primary and they're going after the football and it's a friendly fire that causes the incompletion a fortunate bounce for the Edmonton defense as both of those guys might have had a shot at taken it the entire way by of them could to hold it in Dylan Mitchell far side cuts it up there's a flag just inside the 25 as he takes it all the way back out to Midfield but the flag sits around the 23 we'll sort it out when we return Battle of Alberta to wrap up Labor Day weekend settle in it's going to be a great Monday more room to run for these guys I guess what's most impressive to me is that average 6 point six for both ranking and leak and Kevin Brown's a little bit below that but in his last start against Montreal he was 6.6 average so all three getting it done leak is in there right now to the next of his quarterback with by Thompson MBT down the field looking for kins goes up and gets it oh boy a beauty early on here for gens and he's feeling that one we got to lay out to get it it was on that inside shoulder so he went down awkwardly see that corner rope from inside and that's just a tremendous catch what great concentration coverage was there by Kobe Williams wow but you can see how he just his ribs exposed and that's what hit the ground first oh he is up and he is running off so knocked out of him a little bit yeah maybe maybe you just wanted to think about how sweet that catch was a little bit longer give us an extra second to show one more replay yeah if I lay down here they're probably going to run a slowmo mission accomplish Mr gettens first and 10 up to the Edmonton [Applause] 41 on the ground Straight Ahead short pick up that time it's Kevin Brown up to the 45 well Mike Rose at the front four said this week the number one priority for this defense is to stop the run of the Edmonton Elks and that means Micah is going to play a huge part 41 defensive tackles on the season and awe is a thumper a run stopper and then back in the secondary Demario Houston versus Gino Lewis let's watch that and have a little fun this even houon four interceptions on the season Cloud be Thompson gets it away near side and that'll be enough for a first down as he Gunn that one in there to Gavin C for his fourth catch of the Season yeah Gavin Cobb little bang route going in and then back to the outside and that's why there was a little hesitation there from McLoud bethl Thompson until he saw him get back to that side line and then he's a timing thrower and as Matt dunan our quarterback said before the game Thompson can sling it all over the yard there's no question about that he's an outstanding passer of the football C into the game for gens who's on the sideline for now they'll run it again Midfield and more for brown good pickup on that first down scamper there's a way getting involved you know when you when you look at the matchup and the three-headed monster that is the Run game for the Edmonton Elks versus this Calgary defense as a whole on team team defense their last in the league against the Run that's why Mike Rose was talking about it this week I'm sure they've emphasized it big time all week long that and through the buy because Calgary had that extended by if we're going to beat Edmonton we've got to stop that run Darius Jackson three and three since taking over as the interm head coach for this club second and four will they stay on the ground they do it's brown straight ahead and he's got enough Kevin Brown on the carry it's like another first down so Mike Rose Josiah cotney James V Julian Hower the group up front it's not just the though they've got to take and be Gap responsible that means take the gaps in front of you the gaps you're assigned to a gap B Gap and outside a SE Gap take those gaps and make sure you're sounding them and let Micah a scrape to the football so he doesn't get blocked by one of those big guys up front fresh set of downs from the Calgary 48s the Thompson down the field wide open he's got Mitchell cuts it back inside the 30 or it's Lewis rather on the near side of the field this time and Gino has his second catch of the game takes it down just shy of the 25 well first of all when you're going to line the line of scrimmage like that that means the play action will be available plus you know the Edmonton Elks offensively they know that Calgary's been scouting their run game so play action is the next step that's a progression go ahead and sell everybody on the run to try stop it we'll go play action and hit G Lewis in behind Lewis already with 32 yds in the first quarter here back on the ground to leak leak picks his way ahead for about two or three yards second down coming up you know and they all bring a little bit different something a little bit different to the table I mean Javon leak has got that Breakaway speed so you give him a little crease and and he is flat gone we've seen how fast he can hit the hole Kevin Brown is that hard running hard to bring down low center of gravity type back and Justin ranks a little bit of both yeah he's a hybrid yeah yeah second and seven a good crowd of McMahon tries to crank it up a bit here MBT in trouble On The Run throws it away as he's taken down and that will bring up third down an intentional grounding flag I believe thrown at the end of it as as he was back pedling he threw that ball short of the line of scrimmage yeah without a receiver in the area that's the issue if there's a receiver in the area on a throwaway behind the line of scrimmage throw it at his feet you can get away with that but the ball has to go across the line of scrimmage if you're throwing it away without a receiver being around we'll take another look the line of scrimmage up there at 25 intentional grounding there you go Edmonton number 10 the ball will be placed on the 42 yd line and this it will be third down W bethl Thompson little bit slow getting up there at the end of that of course he was gathering up part of his Playbook and things like that so this moves him all the way back to the 42 so third and 25 and they will kick it [Music] [Applause] away instead of attempting the 49 yd field goal from faithful who is in at kicking at the kicker position today for Boris Bey I wonder if it was Boris Bey although he is struggled and been inconsistent this year if it was Bey they go field goal here he had the has the big leg looking for a little more consistency from Dean faith I was watching faithful violation and to number nine 5 yd penalty it remains third down now it's a no-brainer now you are kicking it I I was watching faithful in warm-ups going this direction and there's some wind that would be at his back right now and he was hitting from about 52 and the ball was carrying to the back of the end zone so looked like he had the leg earlier but early in a ball game I try to drop this one in tight win the field position battle third and from here to Red Deer as is out that's going to be dropped in there now and it'll fly out of bounds walk he walks he walks just before the 20 well wait a second [Music] what's going on here cuz he stopped at the 19 now is throw punt out of bounds and mton number seven 10yd penalty first down yeah four yards past the four yards past the line one nothing Edmonton Le at a new face for the Labor Day battle between K green Eon kylin Hill nice resume coming out of college First Team all sec in 2019 yeah Packers seventh round pick in 21 and the guy who's in game two start number one for Hill against Ottawa which seems like a long time ago that they played 17 days here's May on the run out to his right puts it over the middle and they got a first down and it's Reggie Bagon 63 games in a row good way to get this started go to your veteran and Reggie Beeton to get this drive going he'll got nine carries versus Ottawa 38 yards about a 42 yd average he'll stand in there to the right of his quarterback they give it to him and he pushes his way through that first level takes it out beyond the 45 against his Edmonson defense first level has no ACC Curtis up there he's got five sacks that leads his team the second level has the number one tackler in the Canadian football league in Niles Morgan he leads the league coming into this week with 733 defensive tackles and in the secondary Cordell Jackson is very quietly and slowly becoming a leader in that group he leads his team in knockdowns and interceptions with three Nick Anderson playing alongside Morgan tied for second in the league in tackles with 64 himself Mayer down the field laid out there intercepted just inside the 30 bouncing back up is Bam and he'll be tracked down from behind now a flag after the interception has been thrown on the field we'll sort that out when we return dadri bham has his second interception of the Season as he takes it away from Jake [Music] Mayer and this is the one-on-one match up between the two and I'm not sure if Ismail Heyman saw this football or was trying to find it and couldn't find it really didn't react back to the ball and bham just sat underneath it I think that was the reaction from Jake Mary looked and said hey did you not see that one I threw it right down the sideline to you hman was then flagged for illegal participation after going out of bounds so this drive will start on the 43 McLoud be Thompson immediately deep shot down the field and he misses Dylan Mitchell by more than a little bit thrown incomplete ined for number 17 Dylan Mitchell oh they've been willing to throw this ball down the field so far well Mitchell is running a straight go route and that where it was thrown was to the outside right out by that sideline I think that McLoud bethle Thompson was looking for more of a fade to get closer to the rail there than Mitchell ran just a communication error between the two that'll leave Edmonton in a second and 10 best crowd of the Year Erie Calgary NBT the bman land there looked like Le might have gone the wrong way that time and that'll be third and 10 so after the turnover it's a quick two and out and Calgary will avoid any damage yeah there was a receiver over in the area so it won't be another intentional grounding but Cloud bethl Thompson just looked there's Javon leak and he thought he was running a different route this kick is skyed bounces at the three and then through the end zone so a couple of singles has Edmonton on top two nothing 17 days off is there a worry about the stamp Peters but I'm concerned about our details you said the practice week was up and down he really believe that there was just too much time off this team's been off for really two and a half weeks so they do believe it'll get better as the game goes but that was a concern coming into this game rest definitely but certainly some Rush here in the first quarter how about as a player suits 17 days between games a little bit long yeah especially coming off a loss then you you have to live with that for that long period of time and you're looking at the big plays offensively big play in the passing game is anything over 30 yards Jake Mayer has 11 on the season but five were in their last two games so he was getting that connection in the chemistry and that long break may have been an issue start this one on the ground to Hill trying to find some space and eventually drilled back but did pick up a three or four yards on that initial push it be interesting to see just what kind of a tailback Hill is it looks like he's certainly got that second effort and he's he knows as most tailbacks do that you never want to go down with first Contact take two or three Edmonton Elks to get him there no surprise it was Morgan that started it Anderson finished it off with purfoy sort of mixed in second and six just one pass completion from May so far in the game looking for another here and he's got it and that'll be a first down taken up to Midfield as he goes back to is Hyman well the former quarter quarterback and head coach of the stamps is going to like that one because the timing was there it's a quick slant and the pass was there the accurac was was there and it looked like a well executed offensive play into that soft spot in the zone over there in the Edmonton defense four- one at home are the Calgary Stampeders their one loss was in that game prior to the buy so that suits mention had to sit on it for a couple of weeks he'll little stumble regains his footing and gets a couple of yards on first [Music] down here's the split right now on what we're seeing from four and one at home 0 and five on the road yeah I think down here is one of the big reasons for it we always talk about turnovers the turnover ratio and how important that is but yeah they've been much better at home and have been very good on this particular game at home of late one 10 the last 11 overall in this Labor Day battle second and seven here two options to the left three out to the right down the field and plunging out to get a hand on it is Bam as May looked for Philpot for the first time today philpot's got the great Target to catch ratio which will take a little bit of a hit after that in completion but see Jake Mayer saying that was on me this was a throw he's he's been targeted 39 times Phil pot caught 31 of themy back to that's a nice defensive play cutting underneath that from bham that's a couple of plays for him now early in this game interception and now that one as well for the rookie Corner Cobb takes it just inside the 10 44 yd kick spun off a tackle and forced out right at about the 15 with 53 seconds on the clock MBT four of seven for 70 yards here in the first quarter we in we in going going going we're going [Music] here's a look at Dave Dickinson not a bad record six and one all time in Labor Day Classics 14 and4 against Edmonton in his head coaching career so he's had the number of the Elis and how about this 336 games in Calgary for Dave Dickinson player assistant coach and head coach and there's Jarius Jackson three and three this season after taking over for Chris Jones hand it off trying to kick it out it's leak near side tackle made at the 20 and a nice burst there Leos was able to Coral him nice example of the stiff arm from Javon leak just the oldfashioned hold off the tackler with that off hand little stiff arm there gets out side of Cameron [Music] [Applause] judge second and four for Ed from their own 20 quick pass this time that was up close to the 25 looks like it'll be a first down and it is Kevin Jones who has burst onto the scene an impressive fashion in Edmonton and that'll do it for the first quarter of action in the Labor Day classic Edmonton on top in a physical affair they lead on the road here in Calgary two nothing and they'll have the ball when we return for second quarter action don't go anywhere coming up here in Calgary Edmonton leading classic low-scoring Affair here two nothing over Calgary suits what stands out well what stands out is that both defenses have done a nice job scouting each other scouting the offenses and you look at the Run game for the Elks as we we talked about in the first quarter has been so strong throughout the last four or five games and right now Calgary knew that too they emphasized it all week and threw the by and just 29 yards rushing for the Elks in the first quarter pretty much an even split sort of between brown and leak so far leak's got four carries for 15 yards Brown's got three for 14 yards haven't seen ranking just yet he'll be involved on special teams a little bit I believe [Music] [Applause] [Music] from the 25 they'll get it to Mitchell and Mitchell takes it ahead for an Evon first down a guy you can work in here and there in the running attack well I I like the play call really like the play call because it it's attacking the perimeter and with all focus on Javon leak there's the play action to leak that holds basically the front seven and you try to get one of your fast receivers out on the edge in space with a little fly sweep [Applause] action robon is down on the field not for long though well the training staff's out there so he's going to have to go off for at least three plays maybe a little bit of a limp there you can see as he's trying to shake get off seven interceptions for the Calgary Corners de Mario Houston as 4 Trey Roberson with three so far this [Music] [Applause] [Music] year the WR leak left of his quarterback they'll fake it to him and from the pocket down the field drops it in there and it's held on to Once Again by giddens had a big one earlier and he's got another one here great accuracy from McLoud bethle Thompson and gens is going to sell this sell it by not showing there he is there coming out of a slop position and he's selling it by not showing Kobe Williams that the ball's about to arrive he's running down that field turns his head back and then the hands come up now as the ball's about to get there usually the DB in that kind of Trail position is looking straight at the hands as soon as they go up he tries to punch through but they went up so late in that process couldn't get there 65 yds on two catches now leak spinning out of trouble they'll eventually track him down but what an effort from Javon leak to put them in a second and manageable down at the 35 yeah it really does and you know the Calgary defense as we mentioned in the first first quarter was containing that run but Lee got nice spin move here they did that fly sweep that can help loosen things up for the EM Andel they want to take advantage of a slow start for Calgary's offense cuz they do look out of syn and Edmonton hasn't been able to take real advantage of it just yet they got great field position now to maybe get started in that regard you got to put something on the board if the opposition maybe a little slow getting [Applause] going from the stamp 35 leak again and he's going to be stalks well short of the first down maybe a yard on the play by jul looks like right now Jerry's Jackson is is going kind of series to series Kevin Brown gets a series Javon Lee gets a series but I I would suggest that maybe an idea is on third or second and short second and two or three maybe Kevin Brown is more suited for that interior run and V Le on first down but I know you don't want to be switching back and forth too often Dean faithful for the first time this year 78.6% last year which is better than the 74% that has be sidelined right now faithful 41 yd attempt here that is up and that is good and Edmonton tacks on three more for a 5 nothing lead Reggie begon has one of the defens is struggling a little bit is it too easy to say just get it to this guy well of late look at the numbers of late Target to catch ratio outstanding almost 300 yards in the last three games so yeah I think to get Kickstart the offense Jake Mayer go to 84 and get that USS fishing boat going he loves his fishing he does like to fish Hill trying to stretch this out won't happen back to the line of scrimmage no further this is this is the Edmonton elk defense just stringing this right out to the sideline there there's there's no hole here you see n's Morgan plugging that one they're going outside he hands him off to his partner Nick Anderson on the outside and the two linebackers just say we're taking away all of the gaps Hill has eight yards on five carries so they cannot get anything going on the ground round maybe through the air is where it happened second and 11 be looks Far Side now has a man it's his running back with some room to run he'll take it outside the 50 Midfield and eventually runs into monrie who takes him down best play of the ball game for the Calgary offense yeah H Hill in Mississippi he he could catch the ball out of the back field his college days he was a big time receiver out of the back field at that tail back spot in fact had 67 catches in his time in M Mississippi which really makes him suit our game very well 15 catches in a single game in college Jake may just double his production on that last pass 25 yds he's up to 50 First and 10 from the Evon 46 empty backfield here as he throws far side and that is held on to by Barnes with bino in his back pocket good job by Barnes to block out B him because that's a dangerous inside throw there for Jake Mayer and vham already has one in this game and he closes quickly there but Mars protects the [Applause] ball six yds to Barnes on his first catch of the game changing the [Applause] play Green works it home from the Evon 40 mayor gets it away has Hyman trying to escape and he does takes it down to the 10 still on his feet there's a flag back at the 45 and Edmonton saying this is going the other [Applause] way3 y a flag of the illegal block ends to the face Calgary number 68 10yd penalty will replay second down let's take a look at it that's Eric Smith that left tackle and he's got his hands up in the face right there of Daniel Joseph there's no question that one is going to get called that Not only was it hand in the face but it jacked his head back you know none of those are very rarely intentional but get the hands up too high a little undisciplined with where the hands need to be and takes a big play off the board huge play off the board now they're back on their own 50 been a 33 yd pick up the other [Applause] way second and 14 here with time down the field too much Falls incomplete over the head of Barnes Bo it really looked like there was early movement there and no flag on the play [Music] peretz is coming out he will have the wind at his back but this will be a deep shot his season long is 52 this one's going to be 57 his career long is 53 this one will be four yds back of that so a 57 yd attempt for Petes big deep breath lock in little wind at his back does have the wind pretty strong wrong winding down moving those flags a little bit at that end yeah Cody Grace to hold peretz for the first time in his career looking to hit one from 57 that is up and it is good Nails it a deep shot on Labor Day from peretz and calgar on the board had a little Breathing Room on this one I think peretz no mistake crushes it CFL on TSN will be back on Friday as the Lions take on the aletes that's a big one 7:30 Eastern 4:30 Pacific on TSN big game for Nathan R and Victoria and thank you to everyone for their Hospitality out there in Victoria on the west coast that was quite the event turns out Victoria is a pretty nice place it's not bad good seafood there too didn't have any come on I got to get you on Seafood EV will start from their own 40 be Thompson wide open has a man that'll be a first down as he gets it to Dylan Mitchell 29 Leon Dylan Mitchell this is this is a timing route he's going to do the curl here and the timing route for Mitchell straight down run this curl this is what for cloud bethl Thompson is great at those intermediate throws on time right between the one and the [Music] seven and at their own 51 First Catch of the game for Mitchell how' that rushing attemp earlier on the sweep headon to work from their own 51 on the ground up the middle Brown back in the game as they flipflop Brown and leak there's a flag on the The Far Side of the field quick discussion here with Andre PR calling the shots for us today well that Calgary front seven on that play was geared up to stop the run and Brown still got three or four illegal procedure illegal procedure no end 69 did not check in prior to the snap this is a 5yd penalty will replay first down still some pointing among the players down on the field I think the Elks are arguing the fall now that they heard it [Applause] need Command Center is taking a look at this to make sure the correct call is being made here believe we'll get a correction here after review by the command center we had 87 was covering number 6 seven therefore there is no infraction for procedure it will be second down round of Boos from the crowd here at McMahon so so basically never mind pretty much never mind nothing nothing nothing to see here let's move on everything was lined up properly ended up being a three-y pickup for Brown another who remains in the game and running back for Edon G Lewis to the top of your screen working against marel Houston mvt looks that way down the field Kino he's got him Le will take it inside the 30 pressure coming from behind stays on his feet and then is upended just shy of the 20 have yourself at half Gino Lewis well this is Gino Lewis and the throw for from McLoud bethl Thompson that is going to be his bread and butter again because it's a timing throw he's got Cameron judge underneath him but he catches a timing throw he's got Cameron judge underneath him but he catches that ball because it's thrown on time just as he clears judge into the middle good accuracy and a chance for the Edmonton Elks to take advantage of the slow start offensively by Calgary 66 yards on on three catches for Gino team leading three catches Edmonton will work from the Calgary 22 haven't found the end zone yet today over the middle defended well and broken up by Kobe Williams working against gens gens has a couple against him gens has been working on Kobe Williams has two nice catches in this game already and Kobe Williams says okay enough is enough I got to get involved here steps up good timing left hand around without pulling that right hand or pulling the jersey and turning the receiver it's a nice knock down by Kobe Williams two to one gens versus Williams keeping tra big play here second and 10 Calgary's defense they're going to bring some pressure NBT feels it gets it away just not enough fell short of gin Lewis he was hit as he threw a bunch of pressure in his face and he couldn't get that one far enough down the field well I'll tell you what you it's a game of inches you've heard that many times it's also a game of split seconds because that's sometimes the difference between a big play or a sack or incomplete pass there was the pressure off the edge that got home just in time to affect the accuracy of the throw because G Lewis in behind coverage and ready to go score the Edmonton offense stalls again faithful one for one from 41 yds this one from 29 that is up and he misses it hammers It Wide to the left and evence kicking woes continue take the single they lead in Calgary been a linebacker of Edmonton I sent it down to faran LGI yeah Morgan is also the only member of the Elks current roster that has won a game on Labor Day here in Calgary and that was back in 2021 so doesn't seem like it was that long ago but certainly there's been a lot of turnover in Edmonton he remembers in that game he had a big one he had a sack I think he had about eight or nine tackles in that game he says this game brings out the best in everybody but it's been far too long since we have won here as for Calgary there is Adam coner he is 0 and six in Labor Day games within with two stints in Edmonton while he left Edmonton for BC the El won two games at that time he doesn't believe he's a bad luck charm hopes the home team can continue its winning weights here sack here as mayor had nowhere to go Elliot Brown comes out of it celebrating Oran was involved as well well again overall Calgary has the Edge by one game in the Labor Day matchup 313 and one how crazy is that right I know that close the edge in the rematch match go look at that big Mir trying to a little basketball looking for an outlet pass Oakman and Elliot Brown both got to him second and 14 May has a man wide open at the 40 trying to turn it up the field a heavy Blow from Hyman against Anderson they'll be stopped a couple of yards short this we are used to seeing on the Labor Day weekend now now we've seen a lot of it there's been a lot of it throughout history on this game but the team that stays most disciplined often wins so don't be the retaliation guy in this area because that gets you a penalty and that puts your team in a hole big third and two here Calgary's offense stays on the field from their own 48 May in the shotgun needing a couple of yards trying to drive offside nothing just yet [Music] he's trying to draw now they they were in the neutral zone and Shan MCU didn't trying to dve offside nothing just [Applause] yet just trying to draw now they they were in the neutral zone and Shan mchu didn't see it cuz if he snapped right that time Calgary number 12 5 yd penalty it remains third down boun back bounce back you can jump back as long as the ball's not snapped and that's I'm sure what coach Dickinson will mention to his Center as he comes [Applause] off Gavin Cobb and purfoy will go back to field this [Music] kick Cody Grace set to let it fly kicks it in the direction of Purifoy takes it just inside the 20 and nowhere to go 48 yd kick and pushing and shoving and again Labor Day let's look at some of the Labor Days of old and all the Mayhem that happens in this game in the Battle of Alberta they just go at each other it's physical that's why we open the show up with the linebackers because it's that little extra second you you say you want to play play to the echo of the whistle well they play till well after the whistle has gone by official getting Jeff Garcia in there douy in there awesome Ricky Ray athleticism of Ricky Ray going over the table there's Javon Leak with the carry nice pick up on first down those are a pretty big names though in the quarterback room just a few you know Jeff Garcia fluty Ray boy there's been some great battles and and next week in the rematch in Edmonton expect the same I mean just some great moments in history on this weekend nice crowd here in Calgary excellent tailgate going on and before I get any more tweets Hamilton tailgate is awesome too you know what I'll just say it any tailgate is awesome that's true the one here is large large tailgate both sides of the stadium but it's good let's crank it up a notch I challenge everybody get out to a tailgate experience at a CFL Stadium near you there you go go enjoy yourself we can't we have to work those days it's tough we're inside 3 minutes here on Labor Day and Calgary who is that out there a SI I think that [Applause] H long way to go here in the first half 257 on the clock ml be Thompson from the pocket Gino Lewis has it there's a flag on the far side as Gino picks up the first down [Music] tag Lewis having an excellent first half here on lab Cloud Beth Thompson went down hard see this penalty is sure if it was late IL legal contact on receiver Calgary number zero that penalty is decline first down well if that if that was Curley gens out there that's three to one in that match up but I I just I was watching McLoud Beth the time Thompson go down there and it the timing on that hit looked fine say the illegal contact here it is gens that's way past the five yards I don't know there's enough there for penalty but okay three to the left three to the right find Jones over the middle brings the tackle and here goes K Jones down to the 40 tripped up at the 35 deio Houston stopped that one from being even more Blitz coming here from the Calgary defense and when they send this kind of pressure that's Cameron judge to the right that's coming up and trying to hide in the line of scrimmage but that quick pressure that McLoud bethl Thompson knows he can't block all those guys so he's got to hit the hot route that was T Jones on the Crosser and Houston may have just saved a touchdown 32 yds for T Jones there first down lopsided for Evon haven't been able to find the end Z just yet side that's get has some room has a first down and Edmonton is marching here late in the first half early get is McLoud bethl Thompson's f favorite Target of course work with him and Toronto we've talked about it many times but gens leads the team in targets touchdowns and second down conversion catches just great chemistry between 10 and 19 and they're working that in this first half CL bethl Thompson over 200 yd passing here in the first half six points on the board looking to extend the lead late they'll get it to get looking for a block tripped up on the play by doer a positive yardage and a manageable second down got a different looking formation extra lineman in there to help with the blocking and he gets out with the kick out that was David Fuko who lined up off the line of scrimmage and he's going to be leading it around the edge he he gets on to Mich I believe and then or excuse me doer as you mentioned gets his arm [Applause] money second and three four options now five far side of the field NBT finds one of them it's May and he will step out of Bounds at the 10 wow it's just the Elks absolutely have to have a major here just so they can go in at halftime and say okay you know we put a bunch of yards on the [Music] board see me up to flat but finishing this drive with a major huge for their psyche I mean they've really dominated the first half they've had the time of possession Edge 205 more net yards of offense for Edmonton than Calgary in this first half but not a lot of points to show for it as you just mentioned so this will be good for their mental health going in seven offensive Len In the game fored we're going to move mvt to the left throws it to the end oh no wide open with gens and he couldn't find them just enough pressure again from the Calgary defense you don't see M Cloud bethl Thompson roll that often but this time he gets outside and it looked like it was a Cameron judge it came off the end or doer who came up got in his face and just affected what was a he just affected that throw enough talking just out of the reach of gets second and 10 can they find the end zone here side got it Lewis touchdown Edmonton come on boy NT to Lewis his fourth of the Season [Applause] [Music] go brought Ranken in the game to help with protection and tried to get the oneone on the outside the Calgary defense drops into his Zone but it becomes a man when the receiver gets in your area and it's Demario Houston against Gino Lewis give me the ride man as that evolved into a man the greaty route and that timing throw again this time they connect you heard G say just give me the rock man five catches 87 yard and a touchdown extra point is through and Edmonton leads show you the route here by Gino Lewis against the Mario Houston there's Lewis Houston is at the top corner of your screen here and Houston is going to be stop it there guys take a look where Houston's eyes are Houston's eyes are back into the quarterback he's let his guy get way too far way too wide that little outside release from Gino Lewis he just turns to the outside right beside the sideline and Cloud Bethal Thompson hits him 15th passing touchdown of the season for bethl Thompson eight play plays 84 yds in less than 3 minutes and Edmonton finally has something to show you saw that's what I mentioned I mean this to have that kind of edge offensively yards time of possession and all of it and have six points on the board that's going to mess with you at halftime but that you could see the celebration from bethl Thompson after that throw and that touchdown like woo okay taking Vantage of having the edge in the first half kre will get the ball back here so more than a minute to work they will have the wind at their back their kickers already hit one from 57 career high in this game faithful hammers it away a low driving kick taken by Logan just outside the five Logan takes it back out to the 34 and that is where Jake May who just five of nine for 68 yds will get the ball with 66 seconds remaining in the second quarter after the last drive by Edington by the way not a lot of Run game in there no so after that first quarter when they had what 26 yards rushing I think the Elks kri was ready for it out of the gate they've kind of evolved into throwing they've got 57 yards yards on the ground yeah I haven't abandoned that that's thing we've seen in the past on the ground here for Hill and he's got a first down he had been held to just eight yards on his first five carries so that's a big one and a nice drive starter yeah there's lots of time on the board for Jake May to at least get into field goal range here trying to get a little bit back but it's a good way to start little draw up the middle [Applause] May working from his own 47 back to Hill dumps it off to his running back a burst ahead and this time two yards shy of picking up another first down but certainly creeping into peretz field goal range you love when a tail back decides I'm just going to lower my pad level and go in and try to break through this this wedge tackle here two guys one on the outside B them they're going to meet in the middle him and nil Morgan he just decides I'm going through it be needs two has time down the field one on one in Far Side Bon there's the fishing trip flag in Midfield fly the back fi illegal contact on receiver and M number 25 that penalties is decline first down [Applause] [Music] outside route got through the illegal contact and wins the jump ball fishing trip coming up here we go Big M bash to the left of your corner there comes it out to Logan he's dangerous in open field space takes down just inside the 15 as Calgary looks for a response here 14 seconds on the clock so time for one play maybe one shot at the end zone but then they got to be careful make sure they come away with points here but little swing pass got on in space the only problem with that play is it took some time off the [Music] clock watching on go out of bounds saw that clock at 14 second and six for Jake Mir dumps it back to Hill again out in the flat broke a tackle takes it down inside the 10 with seven seconds on the clock and he's got a first down for Calgary this is a tough one for Dave Dickinson and Jake Mayer now because he got the first down that's okay but he's only got 7 Seconds yeah Calgary so Calgary's going to call their time out and basically look for a play in that play card that Dave Dickinson has that only takes a couple seconds so that's either got to be like the quick fade where the ball's out of Jake's hands quickly can't check it down like that again cuz that'll take too much time and they may not get a chance if they can't get it in across that last five yards but a quick slant something that happens immediately little rub Play Take Mir is four for four on this drive has s seconds left to finish it first and goal from the Edinson six there back pedling K get rid of it throws into open space and the clock stops at two seconds he knew exactly where it was he he took a shot he wanted to look for an inside route it was coming over here he was looking in that direction initially couple receivers over there thought he had it there but little too tight on the coverage and knew that if he didn't get rid of it right then they were going to lose a chance at the field 1 perz hit one from 57 earlier so I like his chances for a Chip Shot here from just [Applause] 13 and Calgary will get three points back before the end of the [Music] half Edmonton leads F who scored half 136 M Cloud bethl Thompson 14 of 20 for 200 will get us started here as we get set to take you through the final two quarters of the Labor Day weekend and that is up and away it's going to hang up there short kick taken at the 30 and now brought to the near side of the field by Logan got around one man not the second as he's tracked down and taken down by Zach Mattis I want to stay mentally strong and that's what Jake Mayer was doing in that interview just basically saying look it's it's we're not going to use this timing thing and the by week the long bye is an excuse but these are some of the miscues from the first half just miss throw there this is an interception that Heyman didn't really look like he thought he was a primary discussions on the sideline getting some timing down I you know I think it was obvious that there was some timing issues although again good that Jake didn't use that as an excuse gets this one away quickly time he's got first down tackle was eventually made by Darius Bratt but they'll move the chains early against an Edmonton team that has been outscored 50 to nothing in their last five third quarters well you heard McLoud bethl Thompson at halftime with faran say that we got to get ready for the third quarter we have not been very good in the third they've been awful in the third quarter Jake May didn't like what he saw switches things up fivan pressure from Ed stays in there hit as he throws and it falls incomplete Oakman came barreling in there and popped him so you know game of adjustments and jarus Jackson he going to make some and he's just like every coach at halftime but this has been the quarter that has been there k eel and the games that they have lost it's a minus 51 in point differential in this quarter alone like yikes you almost want to break even it's kind of like when you're sitting at a jack a blackjack table and it's not going well just just let me break even once I I still want to win all the money I double down there over the middle out towards the Edon 50 fishing belton's got it again the USS Bagon goes fishing again and comes up with it Bagon coming out of that back field or excuse me out of that slot position good deep waggle getting a good run at it like he's going deep pushing those Defenders back get them out of their chair and going fishing yeah got it that's a salmon off the West CO Coast reeled in another [Music] [Applause] one byan there he is there he is that's why it leads the league and Tackle coming in that's why he's leading the league out of a Canon yeah he just it's you know i' I've talked many times about linebackers scraping to the hole that's just shooting to the hole fourth tackle of the game for Morgan no surprise he leads his team in that category a loss of four second and 14 from midfield for the Stampers there on the run to his right who can he find nobody just yet now he Dr one over to short in front of his running back hill and that'll bring up third down and Cody Grace will come out to punt it away very very dangerous throw there for Jake Mayer it is for any quarterback it it is if you're hot if you're not doesn't matter rolling all the way to your right and the guy that was probably closest was Nick Anderson he was he was closing quickly there you see him cutting back and seeing that that's a dangerous one got away with it that ends a streak of seven straight completions for Jake bear from the 45 Grace hangs this one up there cob weights now takes just inside his own 10es it back for a return of about 10 Gino Lewis 87 yards for 87 in the first half welcome back to McMahon Gino Lewis leads his team in yards receiving and had a big first half and it was a matchup against de Mario Houston which I mentioned off the talk as one to watch here in this game and so far it's been 87 87 yards six targets five catches for Gino Lewis he has a touchdown as well all on Demario Houston now don't fall asleep on Demario Houston though well he can take one away oh yeah he'll be looking Edon starts It On The Ground Lee kind of waited to see if anything would open up when it didn't he just decides to push ahead for a few yards yeah this is we just saw Niles Morgan go to work let's watch a little mway go to work Step Up take that Gap slide over bam right in the hole turn him around doer finishes him off good linebacker plays where's the price of [Applause] admission got a couple of them today four yds relas second and six for [Music] Edon gets it away get wide open and he's got a first down his fifth catch of the ball game just looked like there was uh a mistake in the in the drops because it's basically all curls and and you got to extend to the next one linebacker to the inside route halfback to the next one go ahead and run it and you see stop it there see there's two defenders in the same spot not widening to that middle curl [Music] [Applause] [Music] BT throwing on first down G has it again oneon-one just tries to push the shoulder down and through doer and they've got another first down does Edmonton well he had 22 of those catches coming in that that leads his team in a big way curle gens on the the money catch is what I like to call it that money catch we second down second and long got to get a new set of downs come up with a big [Applause] [Music] catch all right we are going to step away they've been told we're going to have to pause the game briefly because because our spider Cam that brings us a number of tremendous shots is stuck just above the 30 yd line there it is the game has been stopped the spider cam doesn't move anymore for now we'll try to get that fired back up we'll step away wait for that camera rate there to be able to move again it's the spider cam hooked up on those four cables from the corner of the stadium does provide us with some absolutely excellent shots had that return touchdown a couple weeks ago beautiful shot all the way along following the returner on that yeah no it it comes with some great video game style shots there will be a round of applause here when it moves again spider cam operators are just down from us here in the booth I don't know if this is one of those situations where you turn it off and turn it on or you go down and blow on it and hope it starts working again but think we're going to try see if it'll get fired back up I don't know about you but every time I ask my kids my computer freezes that's the answer dad did you try to start it and restart it and does it work almost always I would be certain if they reboot this thing it'll be game on has to be frustrating right now for sure but it does provide some absolutely outstanding footage for us I was joking with suits in the break I said play on if it hits it of the Mont you do the down over again an oldb CES THS 250 yards passing so far as the touchdown Trey Ford is on the sidelines as well NBT playing relatively well today nice problem Forton to have with two quarterbacks who are kind of hitting the stride here Midway through the season yeah he is and keep in mind that cloud bethl Thompson started the year with three 300 yard games so you know when they were 0 and seven wasn't necessarily him that was the reason for that now I agree with Matt denan in the pregame show who talked about try for just being a differen maker in so many other ways he's such a dynamic player I think it really trickles to the rest of the team and he is healthy to go that's why he's dressed but if they had their way and they're hoping for is that McLoud bethl Thompson who's played well tonight can play the game get the win and give him another week Trey Ford another week to make sure he's completely healed up and then we'll see what happens in the rematch but yeah if NBT had struggled tonight Trey would have been good enough to come into this into this ball game but MBT has done a very good job but Trey Ford I mean he he he can put on a show and I remember Labor Day last year Ford got the start in he was moving around let's flash it back to Labor Day well last season let's take a look at that because this was the play that was the jaw dropper okay there's three guys there I'm going to avoid them give up about 25 30 yards get outside miss that tackle get outside cut across all the way to the other side of the field big first down and now after what was it 40 45 Ys a hook slide just creating what really frustrates me is he doesn't even look high that just a little jaunt in the park so you he's had up he's 2- 0 so far in the season had to deal with an injury they've gone back to MBT they're 3 and one as a team in their last four very well could have beaten Montreal last week gave Montreal everything they could handle some kicking miscues from Bey kind of backfired on them in that one against clearly a very good Montreal team so they'll look to try to close out here against Calgary but a long way to go in this one the cable cam spider cam continues to sit there and we are going to manually move this out of the way not suits and I other people will go down there and move this for now we're going to send it back to Kate in the panel all right St fans we're going to scan the crowd and find hold on hold on we might be back just kidding we're back in play let's do the [Music] thing is a great second half but a good ending to this game you got you know two teams obviously know what they're fighting for here but back to what Dusty was saying in the booth to fix that you just got to blow on it right like the old Nintendo that's it yeah yeah just blow on it that's all you need to do that's all you need to do right man I like it yeah spider cam delay okay all right here we go that's a new one for us all right let's get you back to McMahon and here's Dustin neelon and Glenn suder once again Els still on top looking to extend their lead all right we are ready to roll suits went out there yeah I got my ladder lifted it up and the spider cam will no longer be an issue saw the guys staying loose on the sideline stretch in Cloud Beth Thompson got a good handful of warm-up throws and we're good to start again about an 8 minute delay and we are back with 10 minutes to play here in the third quarter first and 10 quick reset for you EV leads 13 to6 they'll go on the ground nice burst first down Brown and he picked up another one there didn't he Kevin Brown yeah those in between the tackle runs they they got them both out there of this play though Kevin Brown and Javon leak so you take a look at both backs in the back field you're thinking okay this is a double threat which guy's going to get the ball leak shot to the flat that probably took the attention of Mike a white for a second doer ends up making the tackle but not until Brown has the first down Ed at the 54 Brown the L back in there this time six on the line for Edmonton MBT gets it away felt some pressure and had to get rid of it quickly and it falls a good six feet away from Dylan Mitchell it'll be second down clear shot here for Mike hway Kevin Jones was responsible for sliding from the right side of the formation to the backside to pick up that Blitz and got there just a split second too late second and [Applause] [Music] 10 big second and 10 here nearing Midfield Calgary will only send three M BT with time gets it away he finds the spot in that defense and has a first down as he guns it back to 19 Curley gens [Music] Jr right back to his security blanket number 19 take a look at this route go out see the Zone sit down in it boom nice three-man pressure so McLoud bethl Thompson knows he's got an extra second or two and he steps up throws a strike first 100yd game of the season for gens he's at 117 Edmonton marching pressure again n gets it away and that will fall incomplete now I don't have statistics to back this thought up but when Brett Monson comes with pressure whether it's first down or second down when he's brought pressure it's put Edmonton in some difficult situations and some incomplete passes when he goes with three-man rush and drops into zones but Cloud bethle Thompson is starting to pick him apart in that area so expect more Blitz from the Calgary defense there's their DC right there hway with a good Hard clean tackle to finish that last play on NBT second and 10 Again from to Calgary 43 three options out to his right two to his wide side left gets it away Jones has this tackle made Jones lunges ahead and this will be close to a first down if he didn't get it it's close inside you when you when you send Blitz and they did it's zero coverage so defensively doers playing inside shade to take away the quick hot throw and that gives Jones a little bit of time to get turned and he's strong big strong lower half and went and got this very close to the marker oh this is third in less than one so prup into the game for the first time today and Edmonton will look to keep their offense on the field as I mentioned they have not scored a point in their last five consecutive third quarters working towards that here whoops been good this short yardage there N9 of 10 keeps it pushes it ahead that'll be enough first down for the visitors two good short yardage guys in this game Dakota brop for Edmonton and of course Tommy Stevens Tommy Stevens was the league leading one League leader with eight rushing touchdowns heading in to the weekend everyone on the roster got a roll and that short yardage gu is an important role ROV has seven touchdowns [Music] himself Edmonton with just one win in the last 11 Labor Day [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Classics this is blown down it's about to be the 10th play of the drive here for Edmonton sure what the hold up was there they work from the Calgary 32 Le on the ground trying to escape spins away stays on his feet and he's still going he's got the first down and more jaon Le cranking it up a not here Le well I just this is all on 22 this is this is leak just making it happen creating holes watch what he sees when he gets the ball stop it there boom he's got nothing he has nothing to run to but there's a little Gap weak he says no I'm going to keep fighting wait spin spin again take that hit get the pads down that's a great run you imagine if you would have escaped at the end there and took that to the house that would have been an all-timer judge eventually got back with some help franking into the game at running back now first and 10 from the 17 MBT he's going to look to the end zone no looking for gens who is battling there and could not hang on stretching out his hammy let's take a look no flag on the play either it's against Kobe Williams this matchup there's been a couple there de Mario Houston versus Gino Lewis kittens versus Williams working that short side of the field a ton I i' like the no call there from the officials just let him play there was a little grab by Williams as he went by a little push by gettens as he was going up but the guys decide it inom complete and gens had opened himself up enough to make that catch too and couldn't haul it in on a day when he's been just terrific Dave Dickinson chatting with Andre PR about something here second and 10 from the 17 Calgary defense buckle up would love to get off the field here forc Edmonton to settle for a few goal attempts three options wide side left from ml be Thompson that's where he looks that's where he throws he's got Mitchell stays on his feet steps out of bounds just shy Mitchell oh maybe he got it it's close yeah where did that first foot go out of bounds cuz there was one one little spin move here he's coming right to you m Cloud bethl put your chips down cuz it's coming right at you there you go and watch the spin there another yard there and that foot may have got him to the marker he did it is a first down be first and goal here for Edmonton from the seven and they're going to bring kop out into the game here and try to finish from the seven it's not two or three yards seven kop will come in will he keep it himself or will he hand it off has seven rushing touchdowns on the season he'll pitch it out to brown brown stiff hard to get pass one man back to the line of scrimmage maybe a yard ahead and now they'll bring Cloud Beth Thompson back out with the offense sorry all three backs Dustin in the game here almost like a Veer type offense you got Leo over here Brown over here and there's ranking so three tail backs all there with your running short yardage quarterback little fake to the inside leet the opposite way trying to freeze the defense but they reacted well to get to Brown Newan Hower there to force him out of Bounds at the end of the play first time today I think we've seen all three guys on the field second and goal second and goal now from the seven looking for finally find some points in a third quarter of a ball game on an 8-minute Drive NBT gets it away andone touchdown mlau beev Thompson hell no finds kin Jones He reels one in himself oh there's he's going fishing it's a fishing derby we got a fishing derby going on here that's kin Jones across the middle on that dig route man and that's the one that McLoud bethl Thompson loves to throw and he had a guy in his face there and that's great accuracy to kind of throw it around the rush and W you know what that was that was a message right to Reggie Bagon who just also happens to wear number 84 oh yeah o I like a little spiciness 14pl Drive 91 yds in over 8 minutes and they finally score some points in the third quarter and kept the momentum through the delay an 8 minute delay faithful to make it a 14-point lead that is up and he puts it through they've only got one win in the last 11 Labor Day Classics here in Calgary Edmonton is on top but still a long way to [Music] go it's the middle receiver by but the assist goes to hergy myala watch the routes and how it influences the defense both in cutting routes okay so Mya is pulling the linebackers up and that gives a little space in behind him to K Jones linebackers come up on myala they are he's right at the goal line and in behind those linebackers just enough space for kin Jones and he says okay over to you Reggie Bagon what do you got now on the return little bit of room and a good effort back out just beyond the 40 by pton Logan begelton having himself a day Jones right there with him one one shaping up atticism he's as athletic as anyone in the building he runs 4.4 in the 40 a 43 in vertical and they have no qual starting him at half and whatever matchups he might get they weren't going to change coverages but with Roberson down there have been some coverage changes and some adjustments and I think it's been showing it's why they're playing more Zone probably and you know not to try and get him on an island although you're right I mean faran mentioned his 40 time he tied for first in the combine in that he also had the best broad jump so athletically he he's gifted a has that batted down at the line Demarcus Christmas denies the delivery Bo he had the curl open too he knows it getting the next play on second down got to move on but he had the curl wide open Bear's 11 of 19 for 154 and an interception and they've not really been able to get the running game going at all 10 yds here from his own 41 looks to his left throws over the middle and he's got a first down into the hands of Balon and now he does a k Jones impression I'm so confused ah this is great I love it just keep on challenging each other the Battle of Alberta continues there's a nice little dig route and then reaction after Devin Jones yeah 80 yards for Balon so far now they'll get one out to Phil po he's got some room to go down to the 30 to the 20 and Morgan will track him down and take him down but Phil pots with a big one for the Stan Peters and they're in business both Phil pots are so smooth when they run whether it's route running or with the ball but they don't they don't lose any speed when they make their breaks I mean they that's just a great turn with full speed action and then a little pause to let a couple of guys fly by and Philpot maybe the play that kickstarts this Calgary offense First Catch of the game for Philpot Calgary in the Red Zone looking for an offensive spark here they'll go from the Evon 13 here is going to be throwing again has a ton of time out to right now he's going to take it and he slides down towards the 11 short game for Jake Mayer got out there I Jake mayor gets out and and rolls here he sees Niles Morgan dropping off doesn't have a lot of pressure and a good decision with Nick Anderson sitting there got two yards on his own are they going to dial up here defensively Shyer at DC for Edmonton May has three options up to his right one of them is meget has time over the middle to the end zone touchdown Calgary it's his running back kylin hill and his first CFL touchdown comes on later da stretch out the horse got to get him going this is a route coming out of the back field for Hill he Dives and crosses the plane before the knee touches every scoring play is automatically reviewed they will be reviewing that in real time right now to see if he was down by contact but I thought live oh yeah he crossed the plane what a stretch and that ball hit in the turf after the ball across the plane is irrelevant perz puts it through and he got a seveno ball game man five play 69 yd Drive in [Music] 228 that's great effort at the end of this for klin Hill who's going to come out of the back field and then get through the linebackers who Jam him within the 5 yd zone so he had to break through two linebackers to get there he opens up for mayor makes a good catch and then extends for his first touchdown the Canadian Football League grab passing touchdown of the season forier [Music] Hill Mississippi State to the end zone at McMahon I'm sick well that Jaylen Philpot play oh yeah may be the play you know that play got the defense up and looking they're going to be fired up to come out we'll watch that coverage with no Trey Rovers pz hamers it away c will take it just inside his own 10 pass R to rrap it up there's a flag as he cuts it on the outside and takes it out beyond the 40 but a flag on the return and I would think this is coming back a flag during the return olding Edmonton number 38 10yd penalty first down [Applause] Edmonton I'm pretty sure flags and returns are my least favorite thing especially when it's a big one no but just overall it's a plus kill on a return you know special teams we've got a guy down here for Calgary but special team coaches will tell the cover teams right out of the gate cuz I was on all those cover teams and I remember being in those meetings and having the coach come in and say look this league cuz he's talking to a lot of the American players but in this league the returners are so good that sometimes you don't need to block your guy all you have to do on the return is maybe get in his way make him run around you the returners are fast here so don't get a penalty because it's a it can be so punitive I mean a huge return gets you past Center and you're all the way back inside your own 15 yd line after a penalty like that it they're huge the only the only bigger penalty is pass interference at times don't miss the return of the global phenomenon critics call thrilling and endlessly captivating HBO's House of the Dragon new season streaming now only on crave it was Thomas who was down he's now up and working his way slowly off the field after the penalty the the drive for epon will start on their own 10 their last Drive huge moment for Brent monson's huge moment for Brent monson's group here Dustin to oh yeah play off the touchdown drive by their offense and get right back into tying this football game get the ball back in a two and out and Jake Mir has great field position easier said than done with the way that mlau bethle Thompson has played much better in this third quarter than his team has played in the past few weeks he's n y away from the 300yd game they'll start it on the [Music] ground and that should do it for the third quarter Kevin Brown with that first down carry Edmonton looking for that rare win on the road at McMahon on Labor Day they will head to the fourth quarter with a seven-point lead do not go anywhere we'll wrap up Labor Day weekend when we return to 13 what jumps off this page for well it it first of all Calgary has done a pretty good job against the Edmonton run but Edmonton feels like they've had a more dominant three quarters than the numbers show although Cloud bethl Thompson I think has played one of his better football games so but bottom line we are Labor Day weekend Battle of Alberta seen some physicality on defense we'll continue to see that I guarantee you and it looks like maybe Jake me's offense with that Jaylen Philpot play finishing with a touchdown maybe they get going here one possession game heading into the fourth can ask for more great crowd here at McMahon as well absolutely jammed and they're being treated to an excellent second half so far where does this one end up Calgary come from behind and steal one away from Edon second and seven for NBT time in the pocket over the middle he's got Mitchell but he won't have a first down they closed quickly on him didn't they yeah well this was a show Blitz Dustin so they basically wanted to plug the line of scrimmage and remember we talked about the difference between Blitz and how they've got to McLoud bethl Thompson I think he was anticipating it but he didn't really get it they just went with basic pressure and dropped everybody to force the underneath throw and then rally to the tackle Logan looking like he needs some instruction from the sideline on he already stands in the distance on your screen there at his own 40 Julian can boom it this one is up and it's into the win and it'll be taken at the 41 near side and Out of Bounds at Midfield return steps out of bounds near Midfield now great drive by Jake Mayer to just try to working off good defensive effort gets it going to Bagon and this is the play this is the play that got the defense on the bench up out of their seats saw philpac go down the sideline get into scoring range and then the touchdown defense comes out after that drive gets a two and out and now great field position for Calgary that is how the momentum can swing so quickly they start this drive smack down at Midfield Hill stands in behind his quarterback he'll fake it to him may now down the field has a nice window and drops it in there to Mark and Michelle First Catch of the game for Michelle is a beauty CAU concentration here from Mark and Michelle because he has to lay out for this cuz Jake mayor's throws an away from coverage so he's got a linebacker closing inside out and he needs to throw it out there and hope that Mar Michelle can secure this and watch the concentration oh nice arms underneath ni Anderson right in the vicinity 15 y to Michelle May goes that way again AR Michelle picks it up with one tackle but not the second as Cordell Jackson came in to finish off what mon creef started yeah that's what that's why you hustle that's why you hustle defensively even though you see a guy that might have a a clear look at the tackle it doesn't matter there's Michelle comes in and then hits the flat now Mar's got him but you keep hustling because he might spin out of that he does and that's where Cordell Jackson comes up and help help his teammate mon Cree went right over to 15 went hey thanks man thank you second and six may hit as he throws deep shot down the field intercepted puroy takes it away just inside the five second int of the game from May and this one a bit of a back breaker early in the fourth quarter Jake got walloped as he let this thing f look at that Curtis drills him hangs it out there purfoy slides over has his second pick of the year he's going to get an inside release here and be actually looking like he's open stop it there now he's got inside Leverage What Jake Mayer doesn't see is buoy is already on his way over from that safety spot to help on this deep ball and he tracks it down Edmonton starts great to get this B po out helmet comes off it's blown down G is saying he was already down they're going to say no catch going to we'll give you another look here's the physicality we talked about at the turn watch this hit this is our way oh double [Music] pop here's a ther explodes in the contact [Applause] ouch huge second and 10 on the Edmonton three CG's defense trying to get this ball back right away NBT from his own End Zone down the field to Lewis he's got it and he'll take it up to the 25 ball pops out picked up by Deon Jones what is happening and now he's off to the racist Midfield Jones will take it to the 40 he's going to take it to the 20 and he is tripped up at the one so close CL Williams gets back and stops him Jones ran out of gas 106 yd play that comes to an end on the one first an accurate throw from M Cloud bethl Thompson and then all Mayhem Breaks Loose I mean he's got a guy in his face he hits that accurate throw in a tight window the ball pops out Devon Jones on the one hopper gets it and gone and and tremendous Hustle by Calgary to give their defense one more chance to maybe keep them out of the end zone but there is your TSN turning point in a one possession game down to the one means brop will come in a fortunate bounce for Edington can they finish kop in touchdown the visitors extend the lead again wow man way to get in remember we talked about hustling if you're not the primary if you're not there's that goal line push if you're not the primary on defense in the tackling Department we saw with Mont creef how Cordell Jackson helped them a few plays ago same can happen on offense if you're not the Target and you don't have the ball keep de hustling K Jones didn't stop working and when he got over there that ball popped out and he was right where he needed to be to scoop it people will say that's lucky it's not lucky it's about [Applause] hustle faithful puts it up and through and the lead is once again 14 Calgary though with 10 more minutes to put together a comeback the big boys celebrate the short yardage TD at Okay Tire we can fix your pickup we can fix things that pick up your pickup and we can even fix things that pick up what can pick up your pickup greatness hurts the aches the stumbles The Falls but with Tylenol you can keep chasing it what was that nothing gorilla superglue brush for edgo Edge coverage and nozzle for precise application allinone for the toughest jobs on planet Earth [Music] [Applause] [Music] it is not necessary to di one when [Music] call Tim's new flatbread pizza freshly prepared and hot out of the oven starting at $6.99 in simply cheese chicken parmesan pepperoni and bacon everything try new flat red pizza today starting at [Music] 699 all young receivers watch Tevin Jones here and just by example follow his lead he's not the primary target he's going all the way down the field hustle hustle down the bottom ready of your screen now he's looking for a block and look what happens ball pops out he's right there to scoop it and away he goes I mean we're talking about just being in the the right place at the right time it's not lucky it's don't nobody no on you a that was our spider cam by the way back action thank you was being called out for doing the peace sign too early getting tracked down at the one good Hustle by Williams they end up punching one in with brop anyway that would have been another fishing celebration from K Jones if you ever seen well now Calgary though still 10 minutes ton of time got their offense going a little bit here but Jake Mary going to have to crank it up a notch he's on Pace he's 241 yards already but two interceptions including one just a few plays before that still big one a lot of time lot of time left in this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] game May 16 of 25 nothing really on the ground so far they've only ran the ball eight times to one of those was just a scramble from Jake he'll be throwing here over the middle tight window solid coverage but the catch is made by Philpot he had monrie draped all over him he did I think it surprised monrie run that Crossing route and I think monrie was thinking you know I've got him so well covered there is no way you're going to throw this but Jake Mayer felt the pocket was collapsing a little bit and hit him [Applause] take bear in his 38th consecutive start for the stamp Peters Forman pressure gets it away and it's broken up and that'll be third down tried to go to Phil pot again Cordell Jackson was there to lock him down well in the first play that we just saw Phil pot on the Crosser it was he was the number three receiver the inside receiver and that mean he got locked up on Mon Creek that time he was number two did the Crosser Cordell Jackson adds to his knockdown total he leads a team offense will stay on the field third and three down 14 but still N9 minutes left not sure about this pretty early KY Hill stands to the left of his quarterback mayor gets it away he's got it for the first down it's Bealeton of course and Calgary's offense gets a big one even though it worked still not sure about it and why not with the veteran Bealeton back from that Bunch formation and just cuts underneath coverage four options out to the wide side left instead he'll go right side to his running back found a little bit of room kylin Hill High stepping across Midfield and braced for a big boo from Bradon well one of his superpowers is clearly going to be him catching the ball out of the back field we talked about how he did that well in college as as well and draft pick in the National Football League he can catch the ball of the back field and he he looks for contact May got it to Michelle tackle immediately monrie the veteran sets up a second and long as they'll take a loss on first down Los two y second down he's been important to that defense monrie a veteran guy oh yeah coming in stabilizing things as the third linebacker alongside Morgan and Anderson I think mdy talked about it at halftime that's as good a linebacking core as you'll see in the CFL Jake Mayer looking for 12 down on the field drops it in What A Catch Bealeton again got it he's over 100 yards well you know what he's he's going to run into uh his limit you know you're going to limit out here with catches because this is a this is a beauty he's got a guy closing quickly he's got to go and reach out for it keep inbounds as well he knows the sidelines getting close what a great catch six catches 108 yards for Balon Calgary looking for an immediate response first and 10 from the Edon 29 May a ton of time flag on the far side as he dumps it off to Logan Logan will eventually be taken down by Kai gray but there was a flag as Jake threw that push out of bounds by number five Kai Gray illegal procedure Calgary no one 5yd penalty will replay first [Music] down that'll wipe that play off the board and back him up [Music] five May couple yards away from a 300 yd game Edmonton lines up for sends all four of them may gets it away tight window intercepted it hung up there and was taken away by bam his second of the game and Jake's thrown [Music] [Applause] three a tough one this time for mayor two Edmonton Defenders come together bounces up off of Heyman and bham slides underneath it is now hoping that their defense can get the ball back sooner rather than later near side Mya side steps it out around the 38 to number 11 her Maya yeah now you you got to think Calgary's defense defensively has to start trying to tackle the ball I mean that you can you can miss that way but they've got to create a turnover short yardage brop will come out for a second in inches Calgary's dropped their last two 17 day byy and now facing a possible three-game slide if Edmonton hangs on here the wests oh yeah very very interesting Edon right back in it I mean after an 0 and seven start think of that 51 net yards of offense for Edmonton and they'll tack on at least one more and pick up the first down well you know you think about it the Calgary stamp Peters coming into this game were so focused on stopping the Run Javon leak was back Kevin Brown on the on the roster I heard throughout the week Mike Rose talked about it coach talked about a lot of people on that in that Calgary organization talking about we've got to be good and better against the run and especially against this team with their Dynamic three-headed monster in the back field and in the first quarter they sort of accomplished that and that's when McLoud Beth Thompson went to work with play action and throwing the ball now the injury to Trey Roberson I think that that was a big factor there's there's a lot of zone defense playing by Calgary mbt's over 400 yard they did tackle in that entire fumble recovery by Jones ni yardage for NBT and boy that would have changed this game instantly poer that close oh man it down almost off by number got to jul got to create got to create a turnover Julian Hower heard us and he went okay yeah let me try to do that up the field going right past my guy now just got to track it down come on oh so close third career 400 yard game for MBT Hower oh that would have ch the Dynamics of this football game maybe they can take it away here second and 10 MBT goes to leak tackled immediately well short of the first down and Edmonton will kick it away one more time mission accomplished by the Stan Peters defense they keep getting the ball back for their offense but three interceptions from Jake Mayer has been a bit of a killer here today yeah Evon defense really stepping up and and the reason for the thumbs up I think from cloud Beth Thompson there was that he'll take that shorter gain punt the ball make Jake Mayer Go the Distance put his defense back on the field and not force it after Julian Hower came that close yeah he went not going to force anything here [Applause] Julian lets the clock tick down Logan awaits the kick stands on his own 15 gets it away cleanly Logan has the back pedal and take it at the five stays on his feet finds a little bit of space here goes pton Logan oh boy he's going to get to Midfield there's a block Logan one man can catch him with pup Logan down to the 20 to the 10 and gone not a flag in sight Logan with the house call and Calgary has life it's Labor Day do you expect anything less nope come on Logan deep punt possibly even out kicking the coverage team and Logan Bobs and weaves his way the distance and great hustle to get that last [Applause] chance believe that was 104 yards for pton Logan there's an injured El down on the field that's why we've not yet come for the extra [Applause] [Music] point NE O'Neal J he's up walk off that's a man Hogan has looked dangerous for years and he pulls that one [Music] out we his way through the coverage what found some space at about the 40 and it was goodbye see you later go to work ready go to work I swear I saw everything you saw I'm like hell yeah I've seen that whole BR you like that well the key block on the return was on the kicker perz knocks it through and it's seven-point game Julian and the punter in a big return like this their job is not necessarily to make the tackle but to turn the returner back in to where the pursuit is coming from behind so watch Logan get out here now it's Cole Tucker stop it there there's the key block because if Julian gets outside then you got your returner going back and then the the pursuit can get to him but that big block putting Julia on his backside got Logan to the outside of the field down that sideline and that's a big and boom right there and then an escort the rest of the L from lebros and McMahon erupts and we've got a long way to go we haven't even entered after the most chaotic moments of this football game just yet 3 minutes looms ahead well and it happens where now no decision for Dave Dickinson he he just pounds this ball deep puts his defense out there and I mean about on side or not on side but before the three-minute warning you're kicking it deep Herz lets it [Applause] Fly Tak it by Mitchell tackle made just outside the 30 by Saint seir well now You' think that Edmonton wants to lean on that run game that has been so successful throughout the last four weeks their last four games just to bring It full circle McLoud bethl Thompson thrown for over 400 so you know they're confident there but I you know when you throw the ball and it bounces around that things can happen my guess is they want to lean on that run game see if they can grind that clock a little bit however Calgary knows that too leak leaks in behind his quarterback of course he'll get it and Le will take it ahead all way among others on the tackle and that'll set up a second down Labor Day classic living up to the name between Ed and Calgary settle in great finish on the way with week 14 lions and allet on Friday Night Football and then Super Saturday Argos and red blacks will get us started the banjo Bowl on CTV and then these two teams will go at it up the highway in Edon that Saturday is going to be unreal now that game's not on TSN only on CTV and it will have it for you from Winnipeg huge play here second and six Edmonton looking for a first down NBT he's going to look down the field and he's got Jones stays inside are you kidding me Jones and 10 touchdown M and that might do it 73 yards to Kevin Jones and Edmonton blows it open [Applause] again this puts McLoud bethle Thompson at almost 500 cont receiver Calgary number zero that penalty is declining result of the plays a touchdown and McLoud bethl Thompson in that situation doesn't get conservative doesn't sit on it with a Crosser or tries to go with a checkdown or anything like it what does he do a corner route deep corner to tev [Music] Jones wow Kevin Jones is at 200 208 yards two touchdowns on five catches and you probably didn't even start them in fantasy career high for MBT at 486 and Edmonton once again bounces the lead back up to 14 let's take a look at the route it's doer has to take away the inside because of the pressure he doesn't have any help deep so he's a little bit late to the party there thought he got there with the hands the concentration by T Jones didn't get distracted by the hand of doer in there and turned the corner doer laid major foul unnecessary roughness andman Number 96 this is a misconduct 15yd penalty that will be enforced on the kickoff oh the highest scoring team in the Canadian football league has hung 34 on the Stan Peters and McMahon three different receivers have 100 yard games and their quarterback situation is very good when you think about the game from McLoud bethl Thompson now and that Trey Ford will be completely healthy for the rematch next week two healthy quarterbacks one veteran passer from pocket the dynamic that for br you with this game you throw for 500 you're starting you win the game you're starting in the rematch giddens has 115 yards Gino has 112 yards Jones has 208 yards 400 yards split up among those three receivers but that's been you know just to get back to McLoud bethl Thompson for a second early in the year when they were losing games he was putting up big numbers not 500 but big numbers and wasn't making those plays down the stretch in the fourth quarter and that led to after 0 and7 Trey for here goes Hill on the return up and over how about that kyl hill in his second CFL game already has a touchdown and now he's got another highlights okay he's a keeper we'll keep him keep him in the lead he's got a touchdown tonight oh that athleticism pretty impressive stuff but just before that thinking back to the beginning of the Season looking at McLoud bethl Thompson inside of three minutes can he put together a drive there or a score to make it a two-possession game and take control again and wow did he deliver here Far Side drops one in hman he'll have that with Kai gray on his back that'll bring up second down now the Edmonton secondary is going to back off they'll give these Calgary receivers lots of room make them throw it underneath in front of them and then rally to the [Applause] tackle in trouble taken down oh man got there and wrapped him up after he had a little bit of time in the pocket third down third down third down one's stop One Stop little coaching from Darius Jackson reminder to the defense it's third down get the stop here kill more time on the clock fourman pressure good coverage downfield third and 13 there in trouble again try to get away from Brown turns Hees one down the field intercepted for good measure it's purfoy second of the game the fourth thrown by Jake Mayer and that should be the final dagger well the fourth was a desperation throw the other three they'll have to break that down when they get to the film sessions but I'll tell you what let's give some credit a bunch of credit to this Edmonton defense all game long couple of plays by Calgary Bagon had himself a decent game but this defense has created turnovers and that's been the issue for Calgary when they win games they win the turnover battle when they don't they lose [Music] it purfoy with two B him with two May with four and he'll have to go back to the drawing board before traveling up to Edmonton on Saturday boy the standings get interesting as you mentioned messy it's amazing but messy this will put Edmonton in calary at eight points a piece and they are just behind the teams at the top we'll give you look at this a look look at this in the west skatan drops a dramatic game to Winnipeg so the bombers what is that four in a row for the bombers they're at 500 BC gets the win in Victoria so they've got a little bit of an edge but it's it's anybody's ball game in the west well I know in the month of September Ebon gets Calgary then a home and home with Winnipeg yeah they get two huge games against Winnipeg two more t two more games between these two teams coming yeah they'll play next week and then again in early October I believe and that could be a huge one as well well the West is playing the West in the final yeah month and a half of the Season that that's for sure yeah Calgary's played 10 games only four of them against the West so far is stickon call a timeout I walked by G Roy Simon Calgary before this game up in the Box here and I was talking to G Roy about his team and I said you know you guys you guys win today and you're right in the fight and he looked at me and without hesitation said oh we're going to win today F oh very conf honestly great confidence I oh okay all right I'm not sure if he if he thought his quarterback was going to throw for 500 yard well they've won four of five now and the one they lost was against Montreal in a yeah field goal missed from Bey late kind of changed that one so maybe it's maybe the tide is turning a bit here for Edmonton Calgary will have lost three in a row two in a row at home Julian just decides to boot this one down and through the end zone that'll make it a 15-point ball game yeah I'm not sure he wanted to do that but home and home cuz home and home doesn't matter they play two more times so you got to think about that too when they're playing West against West throughout the next seven weeks of the season because you want to look at points for and against and we'll get a chance to look at Logan boner here come up to finish this one off he's attempted eight passes so far this year completed half of them seconde man out of Utah State mop up Duty for [Applause] Calgary and completes the pass up to the 50 pass complete to number 85 one of the things that I think Calgary's really got to work on they might have a guy here in Hill is is their run game though I mean they've had to juggle their there's Logan Bonner's numbers but you know they've had to juggle their Old Line talked about the last second scratch of Bryce Bell he's a a veteran up front they've had to make a bunch of changes throughout the season up there and that affects your run game I off the top we talked to about Edmonton's Great Run game and their offensive line has played together for five straight weeks and that chemistry is important in blocking for those tail backs so you know I think if Calgary's got to work on something bring some balance so that they can get a little bit of success running the ball yeah Calgary's had nine different offensive linemen start for them this season second most in the league I believe yeah this man has a problem for them tonight ulman bounces back up he was a big mid-season addition as well to this Edmonton [Music] defense Calgary won the Labor Day classic last year 3531 had taken 10 of the last 11 in this match up on this day be a second down coming up after the completion to philp yeah be good to see philp get a few more touches too I mean that one big play he made really kind of kickstarted Calgary although they couldn't close to a tie they could only close to the one possession behind Bonner another completion back to Phil again steady di of Philpot here with Bonner tackle made by Anderson with 48 seconds on the BL this Edmonton Elks team now their defense playing their front seven their Lineback and core and the young guy in the secondary is playing maybe his best football in Cordell Jackson and you know when you think about that with Bratton and Kai gray being solid into the boundary you know and and those guys playing together for as long as they have they can lock down that short side and and the question in the early on issues were not not to put it on Cordell Jackson but he was the young guy trying to find his way and I mentioned off the top he's he's one of the guys that is now leading their team in knockdowns and interceptions all five of the guys you see in the secondary right there have multiple interceptions on the season two of them have multiple interceptions tonight almost another one almost another one that time that would have been the first of the year for Anderson so it's a secondary full of ball Hawks so far this season you know and credit to this this Elks team too that after the Payton Logan returned for a touchdown boy they didn't they weren't affected by it you know a team back in the 0 and seven time that they would have collapsed after that they would have fumbled in and a been a exactly and and they they didn't they marched out there offensively and hit the Deep point to T Jones third down Balon looking for the first gets hammered there by Morgan and he'll be stopped short that'll be a turn over on Downs as Anderson and Bagon go at the head that leads to a late flag L flag [Music] still some chirping down on the field Purifoy not happy oh we got to plant some seeds for the rematch right hry puts his hand up like I got him yeah relax after the play misconduct objectionable conduct 10 yards Edmonton number 48 it will be first down back to 10 yards for Edmonton Nick Anderson Mon creef and Morgan have combined for 18 tackles in this game for the Edmonton [Music] defense Edmonton will have the ball to end the game and mcla Bethal Thompson Edmonton has a quarterback problem they've got two that can start well yeah I you know listen I I I think Trey Ford has been instrumental in in getting this team on the right track with his two starts that he went two and0 on but you he almost threw for 500 yards and that corner route to T Jones with over two minutes to go that's what was missing with him and now he's made that play and it's the Gatorade show that was the first blow jius Jackson has a Labor Day classic Victory as MBT will take a knee and Edmonton's coming back up the highway with a win 3520 the final well we'll do it all again in about what 5 days or so six days or sets the stage nicely doesn't it five days do it again on Saturday up in Edmonton Calgary will be looking to snap a three- game slide suits yeah they need some balance in their offense and this Edmonton Elks team has figured it out all for just the second time in the last 12 years Edmonton has taken the Labor Day classic away from the Calgary stamp Peters Cloud bethl Thompson a career high 486 yds and three passing touchdowns and it's four of the last five ending in Victory for the green and Golds that'll do it
