| Tate tries music lessons as part of his regimen to get set for Stampeders Drew Tate included music in his preparation to lead the Stampeder offence this season. "I figure if my brain can select that up then it'll just translate into what I do, football. "I think my biggest challenge is going to be staying healthy and just continually produce, don't get lose in my reads, don't turn the ball over and just being consistent," Tate says. I always needed to learn to play the piano. "My whole thing, when I get on the field, is like I'm a doctor going into the emergency. Burris was traded to Hamilton and Tate signed a contract extension in January. Piano lessons were for Sundays. "I'm really not worried about the season right now. Tate might seem understated compared to Burris's big personality, wide grin and hearty laugh. ". It's about getting comfortable with the receivers and having people comfortable with me, with a whole new quarterback coming in. The Stampeders are giving the ball to the 27-year-old from Baytown, Texas, when main camp starts Sunday after seven seasons of Henry Burris behind centre. He had such a big arm that he was able to hold onto the ball a little longer and could throw it 60 or 70 yards downfield. "I am a different quarterback than Hank," Tate concedes. " .
