The Stats Sheet: Week 14

 

ARGONAUTS.CA STAFF

Throughout the year, argonauts.ca will take a look at some of the statistical leaders following each game and compare how they match up against both their teammates and the rest of the Canadian Football League.

ALL-PURPOSE YARDS – WR Chad Owens

 

Chad Owens did everything but hit paydirt in Saturday’s contest versus the Riders.  Owens generated 133 punt return yards, 167 kickoff yards and added nine receiving yards for a total of 309 all-purpose yards on the day.  He currently sits atop the league with 2,407 combined yards and is on pace to finish the year with well over 3,300 yards.

RUSHING YARDS – RB Cory Boyd

 

Running back Cory Boyd made certain that everyone knew he was back, rushing for 145 yards on 20 carries on Saturday.  In doing so, he not only became the eighth Argo to reach the 1,000-yard mark but the fastest to do so in only his 11th game.  He now sits atop the league with 1,048 rushing yards.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES – LB Kevin Eiben

 

Veteran linebacker Kevin Eiben continues to quietly rack up tackles.  The Delta. B.C. native added another 8 to his season total which now sits at a league-leading 82.  Heading into next week’s game in Regina, Eiben is on pace to match his career-high in defensive tackles with 113, which he recorded back in 2005.

FIELD GOAL KICKING (LONG) – K Justin Medlock

 

Justin Medlock made another case as to why it was a good idea for the Argos to once again pursue him mid-season.  After hitting a 50-yard field goal on his first attempt back two weeks ago against Winnipeg, Medlock improved his season long total on Saturday when he blasted a 52-yard field goal in the first quarter.
