Winnipeg’s Dru Brown to start at quarterback as Blue Bombers visit Calgary Stampeders
With two-time reigning CFL most outstanding player Zach Collaros sidelined, quarterback Dru Brown will make his first start of the season on Friday as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers visit the Calgary Stampeders .
“Zach’s been valuable for the last two and a half years that I’ve known him. It’s not like he just started being a mentor to me this week, because it’s like, ‘OK, Dru is going to play,’ “ Brown said. “It’s been a constant thing during the season, in the off-season. I can’t really put a price on how valuable he’s been in my development and just as a friend.”
To put Brown’s four touchdowns in three quarters of work last week into perspective, Calgary quarterback Jake Maier has thrown just eight TD passes on the season and he’s started all nine games. The Stampeders have gone the past three games without a passing TD. “It’s been a quick week, we’re ready to go. When you do have a rough game, I actually feel it’s best to get back out there and play as quick as possible,” said Dickenson. “We need to show up, play our best brand of football and try to get the win.”“It’s a fist fight any time you come out here,” said Winnipeg offensive lineman Jemarcus Hardrick.
