5 Takeaways from Calgary Stampeders loss to visiting Ottawa Redblacks
Article content 4. MORE INJURIES? Article content That's not to say the defence didn't do its job for the Stamps. Article content Despite being a new unit throughout, the 'D' was solid enough again to put the team in position for a victory. Giving up just one TD — that on a Crum-to-Adeboboye connection for an eight-yard score for insurance in the fourth quarter — should've been enough to pull out two points and continue the win string. Article content And the Red and White defence did get the team on the board first again with a safety by lineman Jaylon Hutchings. Article content But on the heels of both Reggie Begelton (leg) and Marquel Lee (bicep) being placed on the six-game injured list — and Begelton having undergone successful surgery Saturday — comes news of more injuries from the contest, especially on defence. Article content Linebacker Jed Roberts, who has been solid, is among them. Article content Article content Article content Maybe, and teams — including the Stamps on this occasion — don't like to use it as an excuse when they lose. Article content But it was unfortunate to go ahead with a game in those conditions. Article content The weather did nothing for the CFL product, and it kept the fans away from the stadium, which only served to slow down the Stamps momentum with so many positive vibes — both on- and off-field — surrounding the franchise early on in 2025. Article content 'It was a tough-weather game, for sure,' admitted Dickenson. 'In the first half, it was so wet. We probably caught the ball better as far as we didn't have as many drops as them. But we definitely had some throws that the wind caught and spun right into the ground. It was hard to throw outside the hashes, because the wind just really took it.' Article content Adams himself wasn't about to blame the weather for his day — which was a hardy 17-of-32 for 218 yards — saying the wind made it tough just 'a little bit' going one way. Article content But it definitely did take the zing out of the passing game, which is a CFL staple. Article content 'The wind just really took the ball,' added Dickenson, himself — of course — a legendary QB in the league. 'If you threw it straight down the middle, you were probably better off. But that was maybe not where the receivers were open.'

Defensive linemen in Calgary Stampeders camp: 'Game-wreckers' wanted
Article content Of the big American fellas inside, returnee Josiah Coatney, fourth-year CFLer Miles Brown and Jaylon Hutchings — who signed with the Stamps last October — are all turning heads. Article content Then there's the Canadians in the mix — returnees Kail Dava, Kelon Thomas, Ryan Leder, Justin Sambu and Anthony Federico, 2024 draft-picks George Idoko and Jason Janvier-Messier and 2025 draftee — and Calgarian — Max von Muehldorfer. Article content 'I think we have a lot of talent,' added Orimolade. 'I think there's a lot of guys that are still like budding, but I think number one, I think we're going to defend the run really well, and that's going to put us in a lot of opportunities to give guys behind the sticks. It makes it easier for d-line to get to the quarterback.' Article content The ending Article content So far, it stacks up as Orimolade, Brown, Hutchings and Hicks from edge to edge. Article content But with so many talents in the mix and Dickenson declaring jobs up for grabs, that could change overnight. Plus Canadians starting on the d-line amounts to being ratio-breakers. Article content Article content No matter, though … just as long as whoever's got those gigs are game-wreckers. Article content 'It's a hungrier group,' added Orimolade, when asked about the difference between the Stamps before he left and this year's edition. 'When you've had bad seasons, no one wants that taste in their mouth. They wanted the season to be over just because of all the losing, and it starts to weigh on you mentally. Article content 'But now it's like everyone has the drive to be better this year. That's a big change. That was kind of missing. You get kind of complacent, and now you have the rejuvenation. It's good.' Article content Short yardage Article content The Stampeders have released American WR Ishmael Hyman, who appeared in five regular-season games for the Red and White in 2024 and made 18 catches for 220 yards and one touchdown … The Stamps signed global K Jordan Noyes, a native of Gravesend, England, who recently concluded his NCAA career with the Colorado State Rams. In two seasons with the Rams, he converted 29-of-39 field-goal attempts and added 62 converts for a total of 149 points. He also averaged 64.6 yards on 16 kickoffs. In a 2024 game at Nevada, Noyes connected on a 60-yard field goal. Noyes started his NCAA career with 30 games over three seasons with the Utah Utes. He was 8-of-12 on field goals for the Utes, a perfect 45-for-45 on converts and accounted for 79 points. He averaged 61.9 yards on 145 kickoffs … The Stamps placed rookie American FB Ryan Jones on the retired list after he underwent surgery for a broken leg suffered during the Red and White pre-season victory over the host BC Lions on Vancouver Island on Victoria Day … Stamps training camp continues Thursday at McMahon (9:15 a.m.).
