B.C. Lions not looking in rearview mirror in preparation to ho host Calgary Stampeders in Western Semifinal
The Lions ended their season with a 41-16 loss to the Calgary Stampeders and will face off against their Western rivals on Saturday in the Western Semifinal.
“We want to start fast against a good Calgary defence,” he said. “You have to come out here, enjoy the environment, pick up on the energy and match their intensity.” If the Lions want to advance, they’ll have to improve their work stopping the run from the last time out, when the Stampeders rushed 213 yards on 31 attempts.
“They know one of our weakness points when playing them has been the run. That’s the main thing, we got to stop the run first,” he said. “The top team in the leagues are running the ball and you got to stop the run first.”“It’ll be a good challenge for us,” he said. “Everyone doubted them so they had a chip on their shoulder for a while so you know their confidence is really high.”
“It’s win or go home,” he said. “You know all these guys have played enough football to know you have to play well and only have one shot at it.”
