The Stamps spent a scorching Sunday afternoon practising on the lower grass field at McMahon Stadium.
"We play Edmonton on Thursday and they’re the only team in the CFL with a grass field," said cornerback Brandon Browner. "So this was a chance to get used to the feel of playing on grass.
"It’s definitely different because the FieldTurf is so fast and the grass feels slow. You have to be conscious about picking your feet up and being quick. It takes some getting used to, but I like it."
Sunday’s practice provided the first look at newly-arrived non-import receiver Teyo Johnson. At six-foot-six, 250 pounds, Johnson is a unique sight as he gets down the field and runs routes. He definitely has the potential to create some mismatch possibilities, so it will be interesting to see how coaches choose to use him.
