Hamilton Tiger-Cat finally has some bite.
The 35- and 51-point blasts are coming to win the East Leader Montreal and Toronto respectively, Hamilton tried to climb above the .500 mark on Saturday night when it hosts the struggling Ottawa Redblack.
The 51-38 victory in Toronto on July 4 marked for the first time in six years that TI-Kat (2-2) kept 50-grips. Bo Levi Mitchell threw for five touchdowns and Kenny Laler caught six passes for 207 yards, going for three scores.
Michelle and Loller, the most paid receiver in the league, have made a relationship quickly as a pitch-catch pair in their first year.
“He understands if it is going to be shorter, if it is going to be longer, if it is going to be high,” Mitchell said about Lallor. “I think it’s very special, very little – the receiver is able to track the ball quickly with the quarterback’s hand.”
Mitchell ended with a distance of 332 yards and the running game simply helped enough, adding 100 yards.
While Hamilton enters with speed, Ottawa (1-4) is struggling to find answers that came easily on making playoffs last year. A portion of mistakes and poor defense caused a loss of 39–33 in Winless Admonton on Sunday night at a loss of 39–33.
Penalty has been an issue for Redblack in every loss. He was punished over the length of a CFL region in the latest necklace, a nine -time flag for 118 yards. Ottawa is placed for 50 violations in five games, 46 of them in defeat.
This coach is starting to wear on Bob Dice.
“Those punishment are preventing us from winning the game,” he said. “What we do, have become disciplined in it, okay? Personal, things are very much correlated. You can see that it is a big factor we do and our success.”
Lack of explosive passing plays has either not helped. Redblacks have created only three perfections of at least 30 yards, lower than any other team.
