Lions beat the TiCats in an ugly one. Man our offense looks bad and predictable out there. Too many times they have 6 receiver packages. Hmm I wonder if they are gonna pass? We have Ian Smart and Joe Smith. They should try using 2 back packages more often. You can fake the hand off to Smith and toss it over to Smart the odd time. Buck Pierce was way to safe. He kept on going for short crossing patterns to Clermont. Clermont got clobbered on a 4 yard pass. It was a crossing pattern into the Linebackers. Geroy was open so many times against Hamilton's vanilla Defence, but only ended up with 3 catches. Pierce gets hurt and Jarious Jackson comes in. He goes for a few deep ones, but still not enough. We need more a vertical attack.
Defence was good enough, but worst performance of the season. Jesse Lumsden finished the night with 158 yards rushing. Our starting outside linebacker Otis Floyd was injured, so we put Jay Pottinger there. They attacked Pottinger good. Later they put Jamal Johnson there and Lumsden was more controlled by our D in the 2nd half.
Special teams was great. Macallum kept on pinning the Ti Cats deep and Jamal Johnson is awesome with the special teams coverage. He was able to get down the field so fast, make the tackle and not take a no yards penalty.
It was an ugly win and this looks very 2005 when we went 11-0 and got our @sses handed to us down the stretch. We need to fix the offense!
