[b054ef35]Durham:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]CB Marcus Mebane[/i054ef35] - Played 2 seasons with New York before joining the Bulldogs prior to the 2005 season.

http://www.thecfl.net/cfl/helmet31.jpg" width="35" height="35"> [b054ef35]Detroit Vampires[/b054ef35] (12-4)
[b054ef35]Shreveport:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]RT Leon Bridges[/i054ef35] - The 4th year pro is starting in place of injured Loren Creekmore and may get the task of blocking DE Scott Flowers (drafted #1 overall in 2004). Bridges becomes an unrestricted free agent after this season and a good performance in the playoffs could pay off for him.
[b054ef35]Detroit:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]DE Arthur Gomez[/i054ef35] - If Flowers doesn't line up across from Bridges, then Gomez will. Gomez rarely comes off the field (averages 50 plays per game) and is durable (64 consectutive starts). This year he led the team in sacks (8.5), blocked passes (4), and hurries (15).

http://www.thecfl.net/cfl/helmet26.jpg" width="35" height="35"> [b054ef35]Honolulu Blue Pacific[/b054ef35] (13-3)
[b054ef35]Boise:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]DE Dominick Block[/i054ef35] - The 34 year old defensive end had the best game of his career in the wild card game when he had 4 tackles, 1 assist, 3.5 sacks, 1 blocked pass, and 2 hurries. This week he'll be chasing after Ronnie Tu who only got sacked 19 times all season.
[b054ef35]Honolulu:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]LB Eugene Lemmons[/i054ef35] - In week 13 Boise defeated Honolulu 36-31 by rushing for 234 yards. Lemmons and the defense need to be ready this time. Lemmons lead the team in tackles with 106 and needs to shut down RB Sherman New (1475 rushing yards).

http://www.thecfl.net/cfl/helmet07.jpg" width="35" height="35"> [b054ef35]El Paso Rockets[/b054ef35] (11-5)
[b054ef35]Tucson:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]RB Drew Holliday[/i054ef35] - Holliday rushed for over 1500 yards in the regular season and then 147 more in the wild card game. This week he faces the best rushing defense in the league and needs to gain some tough yardage while holding onto the football.
[b054ef35]El Paso:[/b054ef35] [i054ef35]WR Tom Sonkin[/i054ef35] - If the Rockets take an early lead they will be hard to stop. Sonkin is the guy who has the ability to break the game open. He had the best season of his short career in 2006 with 60 catches for 934 yards and 5 TDs.
