Stamps Thump Hapless Eskimos 36-20

Well, the sad part is the Stampeders didn't score 200 points in 4 games (pretty close mind you). The great news is the record Joffrey Reynolds broke to becomes the all-time leading rusher in Stampeders history. He hit the milestone in the second quarter as his 17-yard rush pushed him past Kelvin Anderson, who ended his career in Calgary with 8,292 yards. Reynolds finished the evening with 145 yards on the ground (only his 3rd 100-yard rushing game this season).

Reynolds joined the Stampeders during the 2004 season and is currently in his sixth full season with the football club. He accomplished the record breaking goal in one season less than Anderson.

The only good thing about the Matt Dunigan year was the fact he brought in Joffrey Reynolds. Since day one Reynolds has been the quintessential professional when it comes to on and off field work. Even within a pass happy offence, he has managed to rack up the yards and sits just over 700 yards for the Stampeders lead as all-time rusher. In the past two season he was lead the league in rushing yards, and at 30, has a few solid years ahead of him.

Great to see Joffrey will be back with the Stamps as a integral part of the offence.
