After opening the season in the last weekend with a loss of 38–26 in Calgary, Hamilton Tiger-Cat Coach Scott Milanovich quickly identified problems.
“We, I thought, got out in all three stages,” he said. “We have to improve every field.”
In other words, Hamilton needs to pursue his game in all aspects on Saturday night, when it hosts Suskechewan Reforridrs.
A crime that should be the strength of the team was not going to face the 35–11 fourth quarter deficit, while Raksha just gave several long drives and special teams failed to help in crime or defense.
Bo Levi Mitchell threw 304 yards away, but many of them were too late. There was no running game, in which Tiger-Cat was managing only 47 yards on the ground to speak. And two large -scale kicking game errors handed over the Calgary 14 points, which shape the balance of the game, bridging the parts.
Tiger-Cat guard Liam Dobson said, “We have to communicate a little more and fix the mistakes.” “And it will come together.”
While Hamilton tries to bounce back, Suskechewan looks for more consecutive minutes of attempts on the heels of domestic victory of 31-26 against Ottawa on 5 June. The Rafiders established a 31–14 lead after three quarters and hung during the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Trevor Harris, who threw 277 yards and two scores last week, said Suskechewan needed a stable effort to come up with the road victory.
“In this league, the game never ends,” he said. “We have just got to make sure that we realize that it does not make a difference of 60 minutes. It is about who we are becoming in the early process in the season and looking for ways to win.”
Rafiders’ running back room has been given beef with the signature of former Toronto Starter Kadim Kerry. He would return Aj Olelette, which was approved to play after passing the Concussion Protocol this week.
But Suskechewan receiver will play without Kian Shefer-Bekar (leg), who hit the six-game injured list this week with Linebacker CJ Every (knee).
