Quarterback depth is a good thing, especially in the CFL. Austin Slater Jersey . Teams frequently turn to a second quarterback for certain situations in-game or simply to give the opposing defence a different look for a period of time. But when there is no clear cut pecking order on the QB depth chart, confusion can ensue and chemistry and rhythm can be disrupted. Thats the possible conundrum for the Calgary Stampeders. Although never made official, it seemed the team had settled on an order of veteran Kevin Glenn as starter, Drew Tate as backup, and Bo Levi Mitchell as No. 3. That was of course until struggles arose in the Western Final and head coach John Hufnagel inserted Tate in for Glenn. And that, in turn, leads to off-season questions on Calgarys quarterback hierarchy. All three of the Stampeders played in 2013, enjoying varying levels of success with Glenn for the most part appearing top dog. There was no official order however and seemingly a short leash on whoever the starter was at the time. Would Calgarys QBs benefit from knowing exactly where they stand heading into the season, and moreover having room to make mistakes before being pulled for the next guy. Should the Stamps stick with the veteran, Glenn, who gives you a solid effort but hasnt ever shaken the notion he cant win it all? Or should they turn to the younger Tate or Mitchell to see if one of them can eventually grow to become their Grey Cup winning QB? With the Expansion Draft ticketed for mid-December and the Ottawa Redblacks hungry for a starting QB of their own, at least part of Calgarys decision at the position could be made for them. The Rouge asks: How should the Stampeders handle their quarterback situation for 2014? As always, its Your! Call. Andrew Suarez Jersey . - The Clippers have signed guard Dahntay Jones to a second 10-day contract. Mike McCormick Jersey .C. -- Eric Staal kept his focus after his apparent breakaway goal was waived off early in the third period. https://www.cheapjerseysgiants.us/3086u-alex-dickerson-jersey-giants.html . The veteran NFL receiver received his work permit and is in Montreal for the start of the Alouettes rookie camp. Johnson even took in the Montreal Canadiens Game 5 win over the New York Rangers at the Bell Centre Tuesday night.Things started off quite well for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but their January slide has pushed them out of playoff position. So whats exactly wrong with the Blue and White these days? The team opened 2014 on a high, defeating the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 in a shootout in front of more than 105,000 fans at Michigan Stadium for the NHLs Winter Classic. Since the outdoor win, the Leafs have dropped three straight games and have been outscored 18-5 in those contests. On top of that, the club has just five regulation/overtime victories over their last 31 games and a 4-13 record in the 17 games that ended in regulation. By comparison, the Leafs had 13 regulation/overtime wins in their final 31 games under Ron Wilson. Going into Friday nights game against Washington, theyve gone 2-7-4 in their last 13 road games, are 4-for-43 on the power play and their last road regulation win was Oct. 30 in Calgary. Is it the coaching? Many fans have called for the firing of head coach Randy Carlyle. In his lone full season with the Leafs, he led the team to their first playoff appearance since 2004. But is it possible that his good will with the players has taken a turn south? Many observers have blamed Carlyle for the Leafs defensive system, which has allowed a league-high 36.4 shots on goal per game and league-worst minus-9.2 shot differential. Others argue that the shot totals have been high all year and are nothing new for the Leafs. Their goaltending struggles, however, certainly are. Is the problem in goal? The Leafs relied on the strong play of James Reimer and more specifically Jonathan Bernier to get wins this season, but both have struggled of late. Bernier played 29 gaames with the Leafs this season before getting pulled for the first time on Saturday in a 7-1 loss against the New York Rangers. Bill Madlock Jersey. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in just under two periods of play. And Bernier struggled again the next time out against the New York Islanders, allowing four goals on 24 shots, three of them that Carlyle said Bernier wanted back. The Leafs lost again, 5-3. The team turned back to Reimer on Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, but he allowed six goals on 36 shots and the team lost its third straight game, 6-1. As TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger noted on TSN Radio 1050 on Friday morning, the Leafs, "played 60 minutes like they were killing a 5-on-3." At the same time, Torontos offence hasnt been anywhere near good enough to make up for the defensive shortfall. The Leafs top two scorers, Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk, have just one point between them over the last three games. The losing skid could be attributed to many things, but is it as simple as a Winter Classic hangover? The Leafs played most of December under the watchful eyes of television cameras documenting their lives, on and off the ice, for HBOs 24/7 Winter Classic series. When they won the game and shook their opponents hands at centre ice, the camera crews packed up and life was supposed to return to normal. But since then victories have been hard to come by. And now the Leafs find themselves on the outside looking in for a playoff spot with just under half the season remaining and Olympic break four weeks away. The time has come to ask, whats wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs? As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
