KAMLOOPS, B.C. – The B.C. Lions turned to a familiar face when their ground game was in tatters late last season, and Stefan Logan is looking forward to once again exploiting his unique backfield partnership with Andrew Harris in 2014. "Its like ketchup and mustard," Logan said of the Lions running back duo. "If you dont have ketchup and mustard on your hamburger, it wont be any good." Logan was a dynamic threat for the Lions in 2008 before jumping to the NFL, but when the phone stopped ringing with offers down south he decided on a return to his former CFL club. "As I was at home waiting on calls I was working out and staying in shape and stuff like that," said Logan. "When I talked to the B.C. Lions I was more than willing to come up here and help us win games." A leaky offensive line and a tendency to abandon the ground attack meant the Lions were without a 100-yard rusher for 11 straight contests in 2013, but the speedy Logans injection into the lineup helped the situation improve almost overnight. A more south-runner, Harris was no longer the only focus for defences, and both he and Logan found some traction as the Lions ran for almost 200 yards a game over the seasons final three weeks. "(Harris) does a lot of different things that I dont do," Logan said at training camp last week. "Hes more of a downhill, patient runner and hits the hole. Im more of a slasher, getting inside and outside. "He has the ability to do certain things that Im not that great at, and I can do certain things that he cant do. Thats what makes it such a great running back (combination)." Despite all the struggles last season, Harris still managed to rush for 998 yards and seven touchdowns. Clearly frustrated at times, the Winnipeg native never criticized his coaches or teammates and is now looking forward to having Logan as a backfield counterpart for a full season. "Its going to be a great give-and-take scenario. Having two guys to spell each other and feed off each other … any time he makes a play, Im going to want to make a play," said Harris. "I think we both bring a different skill set and thats something we can utilize. Having us both on the field at the same time is going to create mismatches with linebackers and in the pass game as well. "I think no matter what we do were going to be productive." Not unfamiliar with the spotlight of being a ball carrier after mainly returning kicks in the NFL, Logan had sympathy for Harris when things werent going well last season. "I understand when people point the finger at you and its not your fault. Its not like his running style had changed or he started tipping (plays) or anything like that," said Logan. "When youve got people pointing the finger, its always going to be towards you because youre running the ball. "If guys miss a block, the fans dont see that. All they see is you." Lions head coach Mike Benevides parted ways with offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine after last season and replaced him with former CFL quarterback Khari Jones in hopes of reinvigorating a stagnant attack. "What everybodys seen the last couple years in our league is you have to run the football," said Benevides. "Two years ago we were the best running team, last year we werent but I think we showed an identity at the end of the season when we were running for 200 yards a game. "With (Logan and Harris), you have two changeup guys. You have two elite players with different skill sets that can attack out of the backfield." Jones has made it clear he wants to be aggressive, and with starting quarterback Travis Lulay still struggling to come back from shoulder surgery, the Lions could lean on Logan and Harris even more. "Its going to give us some great options on offence," said Jones. "Its going to be our job as an offensive staff to find out how to best utilize those two guys and get them the ball in the right positions." The Lions will host the Grey Cup in November, and with the CFL and its players association now waiting to ratify a new labour agreement, the team is eager to see what a Logan-Harris backfield can do from the start. "Were all about getting those positive yards and not putting that heat on our back. We want to put the team on our back to move forward," said Logan. "I felt (Harriss) pain last year and I wanted to come in and boost him up and let him know that its going to be OK. "I told him: You and I are going to be back here together and were going to run this thing down their throat until the season is over."

He broke Deion Sanders record for return TDs with a 62-yard punt return against Tampa Bay on Sept. 18 for the 20th such score of his career.Hester has been nursing an ankle injury and was upgraded Friday to probable for Sundays game at MetLife Stadium.If Hester takes the field, the Giants have to be prepared for his ability to break the big one, much like the way Ted Ginn, Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals turned around their game with the Giants three weeks ago with a long punt return for a score.Hes been a tremendous weapon in this league for years and years, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of Hester after Fridays practice session. He certainly attracts a lot of attention. A lot of our preparation goes towards him.Giants cornerback Zach Bowman played with Hester for six seasons in Chicago, so hes well aware of his abilities. Now, as the Giants gunner on punt returns, it will be Bowmans job to stop his good friend.Its always a challenge with Dev, Bowman said. Hes one of the most dangerous players and hes the best ever in the league now. With Dev, one of the things you dont want to do is give him an opportunity to get going. Ive seen him make so many unbelievable plays in my life. Heck, hes still doing them.Bowman had some advice for his teammates.One of the things I tell them is to not be hesitant, Bowman said. You have to play fast and think fast. You do what you have to do and then you can be able to stop him. But most definitely, hes a game changer and a showw stopper.ddddddddddddBowman said he was looking forward to going up against Hester after being teammates and friends for so long.I called him on the phone the other day and told him I was coming after him, Bowman said. I look forward to competing against him.Zach DeOssie is the Giants long snapper and usually the first one down to the receiver on punt returns. He has faced Hester before on five different occasions.Devin demands all the respect in the world and he deserves it, because hes the greatest of all time, DeOssie said. Ive played against him a few times and its definitely a challenge. I think Steve (Weatherford, the Giants punter) will do a good job with his directional punts and were going to give him a battle. I think every team now has a dangerous punt returner, but hes the one who started it all. Its always a nice challenge facing him.Giants special teams co-ordinator Tom Quinn was asked about defending Hester and whether its best to just not kick the ball to him.You try, but all 11 guys have to do their job, Quinn said. We have to punt it where we want to with the hang time and location and the distance. And we have to cover the distance and everyone has to be in the right spot. Hes still dynamic as a kick returner and a punt returner, so its a challenge.NOTES: The Giants are still listing LB Jon Beason (foot, toe) and WR Odell Beckham, Jr. (hamstring) as questionable for Sundays game. Coughlin said Beasons status will be a Sunday morning decision, and Beckhams status was unknown, although the rookie said that he expected to play. Hes practiced on a limited basis for three days now, Coughlin said of Beckham. If the medical people are on board and the young man wants to play, well put it all together and see what happens.
