EDMONTON - The Edmonton Eskimos backfield used to be belong to Arkee Whitlock. He was the primary ball carrier who rushed for 1,293 yards in 2009 and 689 in nine games last season before a foot injury ended his year. The five-foot-10, 210-pound native of Rock Hill, S.C., returned to the lineup last week in Calgary and settles into a crowded backfield that includes Daniel Porter, Jerome Messam and Calvin McCarty. Thats just fine with Whitlock. "The backfield used to be mine, Im the starter, Im coming on the field every time," Whitlock said Thursday after the Eskimos final walkthrough before Fridays home game against the Toronto Argonauts (1-3). "But Im a team guy, Im all about the team." You can watch the game in the second half of TSNs Wendys Friday Night Football doubleheader tonight at 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt. You can also catch live streaming on TSN.ca along with our live blog and also on TSN Mobile TV. The surprising Eskimos (4-0) are the CFLs lone undefeated team and a big reason for that is the players having bought into the team philosophy much like the running backs have done. "We all know the situation, you cant be I before the logo, it has to be team," said Whitlock who carried 10 times for 56 yards in his return against Calgary. "(Head coach) Kavis (Reed) did a good job explaining that to the team and as long as we follow that well be good. "We all dont care about the carries. Well get opportunities to play and at the end of the day its about what the team does and how we can help the team. We all know when we get the opportunity it could be short-lived or it could be long, but we have to do whats right for the team." Fifth-year Eskimo McCarty said having four running backs -- two imports and two non-imports -- helps everyone in the long run, especially the team. "At the end of the game if we have more ground yards than the other team, most likely we controlled the clock and we had success moving the ball, getting first downs... that translates into time of possession," he said. "If were running the ball were having success." The Eskimos lead the CFL in rushing with 517 yards, an average of 113 per game. Theyve ran the ball 113 times, taking pressure off the passing game, which is still No. 1 with 1,231 yards despite quarterback Ricky Ray throwing a league-low 119 times. Messam has rushed for 220 yards (5.1-yard average), McCarty for 84 yards (3.8-yard average) and Porter for 55 yards (2.9-yard average) and thus far no one seems to be complaining. "When you see guys not complaining about carries I think it moves other guys," said Whitlock. "I think thats what so special about this team, we dont have any I guys, everything is about the logo. "Thats part of our success so far." Reed said that was evident from before training camp even opened and has continued into the season. "We dont have to do very much to keep these guys motivated," he said. "Theyre doing the right things. "Theyre in the film room watching films by themselves, as a group, theyre working out after practice, taking care of their bodies so were blessed to have that group." And the accountability in the locker room is to be envied, he added. "We know the players are accountable to each other, theyre keeping each other in check," he said. "Theyre making certain guys are doing the right things and when we feel that someone is walking out of line a bit the guys are quick to reel him back in." The Eskimos will be without defensive end Greg Peach, who had knee surgery this week. His spot will also be filled somewhat by committee with newcomer Robert Henderson and rookie Jermaine Reid, who has been rotated into the line through the first four games to keep the line fresh, expected to get the most plays there. "We do know we have depth," Reed said of the defensive line. "We expect Henderson to step in... and be more than adequate and ready to compete at a level that will help us win. Reid has done an admirable job for us and we expect that to continue."

Calgary recently posted an 0-2-2 mark on a winless four-game homestand. The Flames, who are just 12-14-7 as the guest this year, will visit Anaheim tomorrow to complete a brief two-game road trip.The following question-and-answer memo, obtained by The Associated Press, was distributed by the NFL Players Association on Tuesday afternoon: "Follow-up Q&As about Brady, et al v. NFL: Judge Nelson Orders Lockout Lifted Judge Susan Nelson issued a decision in the Brady lawsuit declaring the NFLs lockout to be illegal and ordering the NFL and its clubs to end the lockout at 6 p.m. ET on April 25, 2011. The following Q&As should answer some of the questions you may have about what this means for you as a player and where the case will go from here. 1. Why did Judge Nelson issue this order? When the players in Brady v. NFL initially filed this action the most immediate goal of the lawsuit was to have the court stop the lockout that the NFL had imposed which prevented players from playing football. They filed a motion with Judge Nelson asking her to order the NFL to enjoin (stop) the lockout, and she heard arguments on that motion on April 6, 2011. At that time, the players attorneys argued that that once the players decided the NFLPA should give up its status as their union at the expiration of the last CBA, the antitrust laws apply to the owners thereafter and prevent them from locking out the players in an effort to reduce player compensation. 2. What is the effect of this decision? This decision requires the NFL to end the lockout. This means that, unless or until Judge Nelson or the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issues an order "staying" (delaying) the injunction, the owners have to end the lockout immediately, as of the time the order was issued, which was 6 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 25, 2011. The NFL filed an order requesting a stay (delay) of the injunction the evening of April 25, and Judge Nelson will consider the NFLs request. The Players response to the NFLs request is due at 9 a.m. CT on April 26, 2011. Unless and until Judge Nelson issues an order granting the NFLs request to stay (delay) the injunction, the lockout remains lifted. We will keep you updated on the Judges ruling on the stay motion. 3. Is the NFL taking any steps to try to delay this order? Late on April 25, 2011, the NFL filed a motion requesting a stay (delay) of her order to stop the lockout while the NFL appeals her decision to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judge Nelson stated the next morning that she will consider the NFLs request. The Players response to the NFLs request is due at 9 a.m. CT on April 26, 2011. Unless and until Judge Nelson issues an order granting the NFLs request to stay (delay) the injunction, the lockout remains lifted. We will keep you updated on the Judges ruling on the stay motion. If Judge Nelson does not agree to a stay (delay) of her order, the owners likely will appeal her refusal to stay the injunction to the Eighth Circuit and make the same request for a stay (delay)) from the appellate court.dddddddddddd 4. I am not under contract and am currently a free agent, does this mean I can shop my services to teams right now? Unless and until Judge Nelson or the Court of Appeals issues another order, the lockout has been ordered to end immediately, and if the NFL does not comply, it would be in contempt of the court order. So, until you hear otherwise, if you are not under contract, Class Counsel believes that you and your agent can contact teams and shop your services to the clubs. Judge Nelsons order is in effect as of 6 p.m. EDT on April 25, 2011, and unless and until that order is stayed, the clubs are not allowed to refuse to negotiate with you. If they do refuse, you should contact Class Counsel immediately (contact information is listed below.) The NFL must put in place a free agency system that complies with the antitrust laws. 5. Does this mean teams have to open their doors to players under contract? Again, unless and until Judge Nelson or the Court of Appeals issues an order staying (delaying) the lifting of the lockout, teams have to reverse the steps they put into place with the lockout, and open their doors to players under contract. If you are under contract and you choose to go to the teams facility, class counsel believes that the club must allow you access to the facility and staff or the club will be in violation of Judge Nelsons order. Please inform class counsel immediately if you have any problems from your club with access to the facility and/or staff. If you are under contract, your NFL club will likely send you instructions relating to off-season workout programs and any other rules they may have relating to the off-season. 6. Do I have medical insurance while the lockout is enjoined? You do not automatically have medical insurance while the lockout is enjoined (if you already paid for COBRA, you have insurance through COBRA). Each team must decide whether to provide health insurance for their employees. However, all player contracts state that the club is responsible for medical care for any injury related to football, and arbitrators have ruled that this obligation is limited to injuries on club property under club direction. It is therefore safer for players to work out on club property. 7. What is the timetable going forward? You should expect decisions from both Judge Nelson and the Court of Appeals on whether or not to stay (delay) the order lifting the lockout within the next week or so. If the order is not stayed or delayed, then the lockout would be lifted and the players can return to work immediately. If the stay is granted, then the lockout will continue until the Court of Appeals rules on the lockout which will likely take until sometime in the early summer. We will keep you updated regarding the status of the stay." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
