Veteran quarterback Kerry Joseph looks to use experience at Esks’ helm

TORONTO – Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Kerry Joseph has good memories of the visitors’ locker-room at the Rogers Centre.

They include cradling the Grey Cup after winning it in 2007 as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Joseph was named the league’s Most Outstanding Player that year.

On Sunday, Joseph looks to lead the Edmonton Eskimos past the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL Eastern Conference semifinal.

The Eskimos (7-11) beat Toronto (9-9) in both meetings this season.

While the 39-year-old Joseph gets the start, Edmonton coach Kavis Reed says he won’t hesitate to go to Matt Nichols if needed.
