Seven quarterbacks, including last year's starter Jake Maier, were on McMahon Stadium's turf Sunday. One of them, local product Danny Skelton, was a CFL quarterback internship participant.
Calgary won the turtle derby for the West Division's third and final playoff spot in 2023 before falling 41-30 to the B.C. Lions in the division semifinal. "He's pushed himself," said Stampeders head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson."As a whole unit, we've got to up our game. That starts with the front, the o-line. We've watched the tape from last year. We didn't give him any comfort early on. We made more mental errors than we can afford to make.
Bonner was the Stampeders' third-stringer and Reynolds a practice roster QB. Vantrease, 25, is a University of Buffalo alum. "I'm not. I came into this league in a situation where I was battling with a guy who is a Hall of Famer and I understood the role that came with that," said the 27-year-old from Fullerton, Calif."When you break it down, how can I keep my life simple, how can I focus on my fundamentals and how do I clear my mind every day?
"It is the right move at this point. Health is important," Dickenson said."Just got to to make sure we give them enough reps. That's going to be the challenge."
