You’d think the idea of facing the CFL’s most fearsome pass rusher would put a bit of fear into an offensive lineman, but in the case of Stanley Bryant, it brought a smile to his face.

Bryant seems to be relishing the challenge of facing Saskatchewan sack master Charleston Hughes in Sunday’s Labour Day Classic, a matchup that features the league’s top defensive lineman against the reigning most outstanding offensive lineman.

It will be on Bryant and the Bombers other starting tackle — Manase Foketi — to somehow slow down Hughes, and his bookend Willie Jefferson, of the Roughriders.

Hughes leads the league in sacks with 12, seven more than any other player in the league and has contributed 25 tackles.

“Charleston’s been doing some crazy things, for his age,” Bryant said, taking a subtle and light-hearted shot at his 34-year-old former teammate.

“He’s gonna talk a little trash, say he made me and all this stuff. But it’s always good and fun to go against Charleston.”
