Calgary Stampeders in CFL's Week 14: 'I just want to be better,' says Vernon Adams Jr.

The Calgary Stampeders quarterback, Vernon Adams Jr., was not satisfied with his performance in the Labour Day win against the Edmonton Elks. Despite the 28-7 victory, Adams acknowledged that he did not play his best game and vowed to improve in the upcoming Labour Day Replay.

Adams expressed disappointment in his passing game, admitting that he missed too many open receivers. He credited the defense for stepping up and carrying the team to victory but emphasized the need for him to elevate his performance for his teammates.

While Adams struggled through the air, the Stampeders found success in other areas. The offensive line provided strong protection for Adams and opened up running lanes for Dedrick Mills, who had a standout game with 106 rushing yards. Special teams also made a significant impact with Erik Brooks returning a punt for a touchdown.

Looking ahead to the rematch with the Elks, the Stampeders defense expects a more aggressive offensive push from their opponents. Despite the short week turnaround, the team is focused on making the necessary adjustments to secure another win.

The Stampeders are aiming to climb to the top of the CFL standings and the West Division, currently held by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. With the goal of sweeping the back-to-back games against the Elks, the team is determined to continue their winning streak and make a push for first place.

Adams and the Stampeders are focused on improving their performance and maintaining their momentum as they prepare for the rematch with the Elks. The quarterback is determined to have better practices and lead his team to another victory in the upcoming game.
