The Ottawa Red Blocks are looking for a big game on Friday to end the embarrbading defeat of last week at TD Place Stadium, and they have a key factor in their favor.

They do not face the Calgary Stampeders. 19659002] After being featured at home by the Stampeders in a 27-3 rout – the second time Ottawa has lost to league leaders this season – the Redblacks (2-2) are looking for to get back on track to welcome the BC Lions

The good news for the Redblacks is that they have discharged their responsibilities well in 2018 when they did not face Calgary, posting comfortable wins against Saskatchewan and Montreal earlier this season. As you can see with the way things are evolving this year in the CFL, everyone is stacked, so you have to cash in and win games, "Redblack coach Rick Campbell said on Thursday

"Whoever we play or play, we must show ourselves and play well and cash as much as many victories as possible. "

Stage 1 for the Redblacks will be to make up for last week's loss, which saw quarterback Trevor Harris throwing for just 93 yards and two steals.

" C & # "He's a good player," said Campbell. "He's done a lot of good things for us so I'm expecting him to come out and do good football like the rest of the team. . It's a guy who is able to win or lose. Now it's all eyes on BC "

The players were enthusiastic but relaxed as they had their last pbad Thursday, even throwing a bucket of iced water on the defensive back's head Jonathan Rose, who was celebrating his 25th birthday.

"We had three focused days and I think we had a good week of preparation, our spirits were high and we are ready to roll," said Harris, noting that the Lions (2-2) have a dangerous defense.

Give you many different looks, then we must make sure that we are ready for the kinds of things that are going on. They will bring us. It will be fun to go out and see how the week of preparation went.

Harris will try to put the ball in William Powell's hands as much as possible. Powell is third in the league with 372 yards, even though he was held at the lowest of both runs (8) and yards (17) last week.

"We want to take a step forward, especially last week. It was unfortunate for us, but we are looking to get back on track, "said Powell, a third year pro in Duncanville, Texas." When it all boils down to that, we want to get the win, but we want to get the race the game goes, the game goes on and we want to be clicking on all the cylinders.

The Redblacks released defensive back Josh Johnson earlier this week. "As I told people earlier in the year, we are learning together, so [Cioffi] knew that his time would eventually come, so he is ready," Rose said.

"I know that he works clean and that he does a good job, so it will not be a fall where some people thought it could be. He will come and do the work and we will be fine as a complete defense. "
