Gibsons' Players of the Week (Week Seventeen) October 23, 2012

Weston Dressler can dress for success this week, he's one of four pivotal players from week seventeen as selected by the Gibson's panel.

Dresslers' efforts in the Riders attempted comeback against Montreal on Saturday as the folks at Gibson's found much to be impressed about in his special teams work on the day.

Joining Dressler at the Gibson's podium were Jamel Richardson of the Alouettes, with Keon Raymond and Jon Cornish of the Stamps rounding out the foursome for the week of honours.

The full review of the Gibson's of week sixteen can be found below.

Offensive Player of the Week 

Jamel Richardson, Montreal Alouettes, SB

Gaining more notice for himself with each game winding down the regular season, Jamel Richardson had an impressive Sunday at Mosaic Field, as he helped contribute to the Alouettes 34-28 road victory. Richardson picked up a season high 161 yards on eight receptions, 122 of them in the first half alone.


Defensive Player of the Month and Top Canadian

Keon Raymond, Calgary Stampders, DB

The Stamps DB provided the spark for the Stamps defensive corps on a cold Saturday afternoon, making eight tackles, two sacks and one pick, an interception return that went 100 yards in the second quarter for six valuable Stampeder points. It seemed as though Raymond was everywhere on Saturday, and most likely he still haunts the sleep pattern of Henry Burris well into the run up to week 18.


Special Teams Player of the Week

Weston Dressler, Saskatchewan Roughriders, KR

While the Riders came up short on the scoreboard in their match up with the Alouettes on Saturday, it wasn't because of a lack of effort from Weston Dressler. The Riders slotback/kick returner picked up his first Special Teams Gibsons for the year, thanks to his 76 yards on returns, which included a touchdown return that helped chip away at the Alouettes lead. While not enough to topple the Als on the day, Dressler's work kept the Riders in the game and offered up hope of another late game surge from the Green and White.

Canadian of the Week of the Week

Jon Cornish, Calgary Stampeders, RB

He's collecting Gibson's like a youngster collects sports cards, and for any youngsters looking to purchase a collectible, the Jon Cornish CFL players card might be a good investment. For the seventh time this year, they have called out Jon Cornish's name for recognition, this one on the strength of yet another stellar effort, this one in some of the worst conditions at McMahon in a couple of years. Cornish picked up 108 yards and a touchdown as the Stamps edged the Ticats in the snow and ice and fog of Calgary Saturday afternoon.
