And it’s what the CFL squad wants from its short-yardage package in its bid to capture the Grey Cup. “Get ‘er done — that’s it,” said Stampeders offensive lineman Derek Dennis, a key member of the team’s short-yardage unit. “To be honest, it’s not one of my favourite plays,” Dennis continued with a chuckle. After enjoying huge fortune in short-yardage situations early in the CFL campaign, they’ve been slowed down — and often halted — on such gambles during the back-half of the schedule. If the offensive line gets a really good surge, anybody can walk into the endzone from one yard away.
