Stats are for losers
Eskimos have moved the ball against Argos, but Boatmen have taken four straight wins
By Terry Jones
Has an offence ever played into the hands of a defence more spectacularly than Danny Maciocia's to Rich Stubler's?
The Edmonton Eskimos have produced 'Dink and Dump' offences the last two seasons and the Toronto Argos have specialized in being a defence which has forced teams to become 'Dink and Dump' offences against their will.
The Eskimos have a four-game losing streak against Toronto. The Argos have won by scores of 28-25, 28-23, 33-8 and 18-11.

Writer's cramp a hazard of the job
Kelly Campbell studies hard
By JONATHAN HUNTINGTON, SUN MEDIA
On the field, Kelly Campbell is already proving he has great hands.
The Edmonton Eskimos receiver had eight catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns last week against the Calgary Stampeders in his second CFL regular-season game.
But behind the scenes in team meetings, those soft hands are busy scribbling a stunning number of notes - which partially explains his success under the lights on game nights.
"I take millions of notes (in meetings)," said the rookie receiver. "I feel like you can't ever know enough.

Gimme a great big kiss, Adriano!
By JONATHAN HUNTINGTON, EDMONTON SUN
Calvin Armstrong is about to meet the Kissing Bandit.
Adriano Belli - a.k.a. the Kissing Bandit for his desire to kiss men on the cheek - will be the starting defensive tackle for the Toronto Argos tonight when they battle the Edmonton Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium.
With Armstrong being a rookie left guard for the Green and Gold, it will mark the first meeting between the pair.
If Belli tries to kiss Armstrong on the field - like he does to reporters after practice - the Esks' towering offensive lineman has a plan.
"I'll kiss him back," cracked Armstrong.

Reed it and weep
Former Esk Kavis Reed now Toronto's defensive co-ordinator
By JONATHAN HUNTINGTON, SUN MEDIA
Kavis Reed is playing a home game tonight.
Although he's the new defensive co-ordinator for the Toronto Argos, Reed still calls Edmonton home - hence the Toronto match-up against the Edmonton Eskimos tonight at Commonwealth Stadium is a home game.
More importantly, Reed's defensive unit needs a much better performance after soiling the sheets in a 32-13 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last week.
