Healthy or not, Lions QB Vernon Adams will be a test for Stampeders
“Everyone, from the backfield to the receiver corps, I was there with them so I know those guys and they make plays,” said Stamps linebacker Micah Awe, who suited up for the Lions in 2017-18 and for one game last season before becoming a teammate of Adams with the Montreal Alouettes. “I’ve played with Vernon, played against Vernon.
There are reasons to feel optimistic about the Stampeders’ chances on Saturday in Vancouver, though. The team is coming off its best game of the season, and with the exception of one broken-coverage play that resulted in a big touchdown for the Toronto Argonauts last weekend, the defence was essentially flawless in the 20-7 win.
The Stamps are expecting a lot more from the Lions on Saturday and not just because Adams will be available — although that’s a big part of it.“We have to treat him like he’s 100 per cent,” said Stamps defensive tackle Mike Rose. “Whether he is or not , he’s going to give it his all and do what it takes to win the game.

Wildfire Crews on High Alert as Hot Spell ApproachesRecent lightning storms in British Columbia have increased the risk of smouldering fires erupting as a hot spell is expected this weekend.
