spur1 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Nice to see Calgary left with the crumbs. Or was that licking up the crumbs. Edited July 24, 2023 by spur1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our returner is a quick shifty guy that tries some jukes and misdirection. One thing that I have noticed is that blockers for our returner(s) are not slowing down the opposing players as efficiently as other teams have done against us. Two weeks ago Montreal got some holding penalties on returns against us but they did, for the most part, a pretty good job of slowing our rushing players down. Sealing them up and taking them out of their rush lanes. Toronto and Saskatchewan were all over our returner before he could get to any hole or wall. Might be something simple such as blocking schemes, experience playing together or just plain execution. I like our "smothering" defence. I think that Ben Hladik is probably the best middle linebacker in the CFL. He was instrumental in shutting down the Saskatchewan run game. The offence did enough to win. Saskatchewan had a pretty good package of stunts. They were able to put a lot of pressure on our quarterbacks. Dane Evans throws a nice ball but he seemed, for whatever reason, to have great difficulty getting the ball to Shivers. Almost comical some of those attempts directed at the little (5'7") runningback. Nice to see the upper bowl open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coasting or letting up in practice. As stated by a different poster, Evans (the backup QB) could and probably will be quarterbacking the lions. Edmonton will win eventually. Let's hope that it's not against us on Saturday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few, the(formerly) proud and loud. I went to an Elks game in Edmonton back in 2021. At one point midway through the third quarter, a guy in my section stood up and offered shrooms to the rest of the section (which was like 12 people). He took a bit for himself then tossed the bag to somebody a few rows back. The section cheered and security didn't even seem to notice, or at least didn't do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I blame the fans for doing what they gotta do to get into it. I swear there was more people out in the smoke pit than there was actually watching the game. Then again, an Elks game is probably an emotional letdown after watching their kids' u-9 soccer game earlier in the day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to change the team name back and start selling pies in the concessions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sold pies, can you imagine the mayhem that would've ensued a couple weeks back there when they should've won the game on a rouge but the returner didn't know the rule? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hamilton ends up winning, 16-12, with Ottawa getting 3 points in the fourth quarter, to make it close. Also, Bo Levi Mitchell was injured, looked like a leg problem, in the last minutes of the game. Both teams now sit at 3-4 records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching and it was an inexplicable decision by the coaching staff. Hamilton had stopped Ottawa on 3rd down and thanks to a taunting penalty, had to scrimmage from their 2 yard line with enough time on the clock for two plays. There were two ways for the Ti-Cats to handle it....you could take the knee twice, or, if you think you don't have enough room to do that, (thanks to the bonehead taunting penalty) you bring in the short yardage QB.... You don't leave your starter in and have him run the keeper.....it was beyond stupid and I'm mystified as to why Steinauer let it happen. I'd be having a couple of four letter words with my OC.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty fair considering the result when we played each other. That being said, I like our chances in a rematch with a healthy lineup and VA on his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
