Healthy or not, Lions QB Vernon Adams will be a test for Stampeders yyc
It wouldn’t really make sense for the Stamps to be preparing for a reduced version of Adams. His mobility is a weapon, to be sure, but it’s not like he isn’t capable of standing in the pocket and firing passes to his receivers.
With guys like Dominique Rhymes, Lucky Whitehead and Keon Hatcher all racing around in the receiving corps, the Lions have lots of weapons to make Adams’ job easier.“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.
