Hamilton also effectively eliminated the threat of Lucky with good positional play, there were no unguarded corners for him to turn on sweeps or returns, they were always waiting for him.
Please give some credit to the TiCat D for playing a great game, you also need to account for missing 3 top receivers, Adams , Woli, and Matthews, that is a lot of size that was not available when needed on a windy day in Hamilton.
Ball security has not been that great this year, there have been a number of flubbed hand-offs to Harris although not many have been lost to the other team it is a sign of poor attention to detail and a lack of concentration.
Amply evident the offence is not yet good enough to adjust and overcome a lead when facing a tough D, especially on a day they decide to give the ball away 5 times, plenty of work still to be done. Kind of glad it happened now.
True enough, according to O'Shea on "The Coach's Show" Matthews is healthy and ready to go but he has to earn his spot on the roster. If he doesn't do so before vet. cut-down day I think we can expect to see Walters cut his salary.
Punt returns are a bad indicator of speed, usually not much space to be had and tough to get into the clear. I always wondered what made Fogg a good punt returner, he had deceptive speed but I think it was more his vision that made him an above average punt returner.
Travis Bond and any other experienced Import O-lineman they can get their hands on, to hell with their ratio plan, they have an emergency situation they need to resolve.
