Ticats special teams coordinator Brad Miller, Ticats.ca, August 3
“You’ve got a quarterback that knows what he’s doing out there, so that makes it a bit easier on the receivers. They’ve got some young guys out there, but those guys have been playing real good, and I think they’re really starting to get a feel for themselves over there.”

Ticats head coach Marcel Bellefeuille, on his group of young receivers, Toronto Sun, August 5
“I’ve got a few buddies over there. I’ve got some cool guys over there, but we all know what it’s about when we get out there Saturday. It’s just another game to me. I just want to go out there and just continue doing what I’ve been doing, and that’s just playing good, solid, sound football.

“You can’t get caught up in those type of things. I spent two years in Saskatchewan, too, and last week, that game was just another game. We play these guys enough times during the season that it’s just the next game on the schedule.”
Ex-Ticats offensive coordinator Mike Gibson on playing his old team, Toronto Sun, August 5

“I think every week, we’ve improved, and with that improvement comes our swagger. And we all recognize that the more swagger we have, the more big plays we make and the better we play, so, for us, it’s something we need.”
Stampeders receiver Nik Lewis on his offence’s need to start making big plays, Calgary Herald, August 6
“We have let our fans down twice. When you play nine games at home, you expect them to be nine victories. We let two games get away from us. We have a tough opponent coming in and we have to make sure we re-establish our home advantage.”
