I liked the tone, the accountability and the mindset from an obvious leader.
I said it after Saturday night and have been saying it all week, I think Hamilton can and probably will win this Saturday and Jason Maas will have his most productive game as a Ticat.
With this kind of intensity coming fom the defence it should be a terrfic game. Two hungry teams in need of credibility and a win. Man I wish I could go but I cannot, i hope to catch some of it on t.v.
I like Jojuan. I noticed last year in camp that he paid a lot of attention to what other players were doing even when he wasn't on the field and he would give guys a pat on the back when they did something good. He came into camp this year a lot more serious and I think he has what it takes to be a leader on the field and in the locker room
Ticat players always talk a good game. That doesn’t make you a leader. Let’s see if he can go out and actually lead on the field first before any declarations of superiority are met with designation. Until they win a game convincingly, to me they’ll still be The Hamilton Talker-Cats.
scotty_dogg, in sports there are two kinds of leaders. Those who talk about it and those who are able to do it. The jury is still out on which one he is. Jalen Rose formerly of the Raptors is an example which comes to mind. He was the biggest back slapper there was when guys were coming off the court but when he got in the games, the Raptors were terrible and were until the very last day of his tenure there.
Okay first of all a Jalen Rose reference and a Raptor reference in comaprison to the Cats, is like comparing Apples and Oranges.
Jalen Rose was a great talent in the NBA stuck on a garbage Raptor's team for years.
Now on to to the those who do and those who say argument. A ton of people on this board slagged maangement for getting rid of 2 of the leaders in Hitch and Morreale. They did this because they didn't think we had any leadership in the locker room. Ater one game in which Armour had I believe 5 tackles to tie for the team lead, Armour takes a leadership position you're going to slag him because we didn't win, and didn't win convincingly. I'm starting to think that even if this team wins; if it's not by 50 points you will find something that isn't right. A win is a win. If he talks this way, gets another 5 tackles or even just makes a couple of big plays I would easily tag him as a leader on a young team.
Easy there, boy. I’m not slagging him because we lost or for any other reason. I’m trying to explain my idea of a leader. Which is someone who can support the assertion through demonstration. A true leader is not somebody who plays great. A true leader is someone who inspires or compells others around him to play great. And yes, even if we win by 50 points you have to keep going forward and I’ll always find something not quite right. Until the Tiger Cats attain unto football perfection that’s the way it’s gonna be. Borehamgirl, I’m disappointed.
