CALGARY, AB - JUNE 29, 2019: The Calgary Stampeders won 36-32 against the BC Lions at McMahon Stadium on Saturday night. (Angela Burger/Calgary Stampeders)

I got my first CFL interception last night.

I was just trying to make a play for my team to help us win.

We ran one of my favourite coverages where I get the chance to play deep and read out the offence, so I was just put in the right position. We go through it in practice, I see it in film and it just came to life. I saw the corner by Banks, saw Masoli look at it and throw – from there it was just getting the ball.

It’s been a long time coming to get my first pick, it felt good. Me and my mom – my stepmom – and my family, we talk about it all the time. My mom has the ‘mojo’ thing she does back home. It was better to get it for her than myself, so I’m glad I got it.

At the end of the day we came out, we played hard, I don’t question our effort but it was just details and little things we missed and they capitalized on it.

Our play just wasn’t good enough.

We knew that they were a good team, we knew we had to come out here and fight for four quarters and we just didn’t fight hard enough. So we’ve got to go back, get in the room, look at the film, correct the little things and come back better next week.

We don’t have a long time to prepare for playing Toronto at home Thursday, so we’ve got to get in early.

We have to attack this week, we’ve got to man up, fix the little things and be ready when the next game comes.
