Through Week 14, the Stamps are 4-8 and in last place in the West Division. They’ve yet to win on the road this year and are in serious danger of missing the postseason for the first time since 2004, Salim Valji writes.
Calgary Stampeders receivers Marken Michel and Reggie Begelton have seen the team at its absolute peak.
Begelton was asked this week if he ever brings up the franchise’s most recent Grey Cup win to motivate younger teammates. It remains the last time the franchise tasted victory in the postseason.The 31-year-old admitted that, like other industries, the Stamps locker room is navigating the challenges of different generations working alongside one another.
“When I first came here, I wanted to play, but I understood that to earn, earn that right to play. Meaning that if I wanted to get on the field with special teams, I had to take pride in special teams, the proving ground…I truthfully don’t think the younger guys understand what that truly means.” “It’s up and down,” he said. “The confidence is a little wavered, but at the same time, us as leaders, we have to keep that up. We have to show it out on the field every day. We can’t show that we are defeated.”
Begelton and Michel are leading this younger group of Stamps in their own ways. It’s not uncommon to see Michel dance during practice. He said he wants to continue having fun and be lighthearted.
