Defense is no better that it was last season. Might even be worse and running game is questionable. Lots of work ahead because at this point the Ticats look pretty much like they did last season.
If if’s and and’s were pots and pans… CW is NOT playing this year. So we will never know… No use crying but if CW was playing… He’s not playing… live with it.
Excuses, Excuses, Not acceptable by fans or players, way too early yah right, Hamilton has had a bad defense for many years not just the start of 2013? Last year we could of led the league in interceptions if our players knew how to catch the ball and we were second last in QB sacks, that just sucks for a City that prides itself on Defense! Too many fans want to take the high road in a loss,well good for you if it makes you feel good but I believe in winning in life and this team has lost more than won in the past 10 years not since Danny Mac and Darren Flutie has this team demonstrated any consistency to win and play like a team!
Individual Statistics mean nothing if you can't Win as a Team, Let's hope this team learns to Win as a team and get some guys who can rush the QB??
Kent Austin should have hired Joe Montford as our Defensive Line coach along with defensive Co-Ordinator Orlando Steinour we haven't had a guy like Montford in years who could be a great rush end, Fredrick Pleisius has the same size and speed and is the possibility forget playing him at LB put him on the defensive line at rush end, we need speed not size?
Also with Dee Webb questionable with injury, and shuffling going on get Ray Brown off the Practice Roster and on the team, this guy has a nose for the ball and guess what, HE CAN ACTUALLY CATCH AN INTERCEPTION!! This guy could run a clinic on interceptions, give the guy a chance to play!
My overview.....I'd say last night's game was a pretty good start considering we have a new coaching staff and a ton of new players playing against last years Grey Cup champions. We should have won it though.
Defence needs work but it's too early to write them off or accuse them of being "the same old".
I feel better about our chances for the season than I have for a long time.
defence sucked last night, but so did Toronto's. bad reffing - no surprise - mistakes cost the game. Dropped pass for a sure game winning TD.
But the two sacks by the argos hurt us when we needed to drive the ball and score.
it is only week one, I know it sucks to lose but the film will tell the coach who can play. I always considered the first 2 games of the season as exhibition only because more time is needed to see who can actually play when the game is on the line.
Hey Captainkirk stay with the game I'm talking about not the season, this game was totally unacceptable to me and many fans, if you want to put words in my mouth EAT THIS..????
