#Tip drill football how to#
He’s got a Lieg and he knows how to use it Perhaps he shouldn’t have been playing, but the Ticats may not have won without him. Stern seemed to make it his life’s work to slag the Ticats and their team management while asking if people won’t please think of the children.Įdwards made several big plays, including the game-winning tackle with no time left, and did not get into any on-field or post-game altercations. Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, the league handed out their discipline and it was what it was. Stern spent the better part of the past two weeks trolling Ticats fans on Twitter for the team not suspending Edwards after the league handed out a max fine for his post-game shove of Als’ receiver Austin Mack. Many believe Edwards should not have even been playing on Saturday, chief among them former Montreal Alouettes owner Gary Stern. The strong-side linebacker was the recipient of the Ticats’ first interception of the season and was also fingertips away from his second fumble recovery of the season, with the ball barely eluding his grasp before being scooped up by Ted Laurent.Īny game where Ted Laurent ( carries the ball is a game worth watching. Say what you want about Edward,s but his on-field play is almost second to none and he certainly has a nose for the football. it is hard to know where Thurman ranks league-wide in various defensive categories - hey, commish, wasn’t that fancy new system supposed to be ready by early July? - but he has been a difference-maker on defence.įollowing his embarrassing display after the final whistle against the Montreal Alouettes, Chris Edwards was a major part of the team’s first win. With the CFL’s stats system still being M.I.A. Ottawa is Crum-bling in the face of this Ticats’ defence. The Redblacks would get the ball back and make a heck of a comeback attempt, but Thurman’s sack helped the team take more time off the clock. With Ottawa down just eight and at midfield with a little over two minutes remaining, Thurman looped around the right guard and brought down Redblacks’ quarterback Dustin Crum for a big loss on second down, forcing Ottawa to punt. He was excellent once again against Ottawa, notching a team-high nine tackles as well as two sacks, the second of which came at a critical juncture in the game. He does not have the outsized personality of his more boisterous teammates but Jameer Thurman has quietly been Hamilton’s best defensive player this season by a wide margin. How many of these performances Simoni has left in him is unknown but for one night, he was not an old Simoni Lawrence but the Simoni Lawrence of old. I don’t know if Lawrence is an Eminem fan but watching him play in the second half reminded me of a lyric from Slim Shady’s 2020 album Music to Be Murdered By, in that he might be half as good as he was but he’s still twice as good as they’ll ever be. The ole’ Hamilton hot potato lands with Simoni 🥔 #CFL #Ticats #HamiltonProud 3DownNation July 9, 2023 Lawrence finished the game with four tackles, one tackle for loss, two pass knockdowns and one tip-drill interception, his first pick since October 23, 2021. On Saturday he turned back the clock with a vintage performance. He dealt with a major injury for the first time in his career last year and has looked like he lost a step - understandable for a 34-year-old playing in his 11th CFL season. It’s been a rough couple of seasons for legendary Ticats’ linebacker Simoni Lawrence. The entire CFL community is rooting for just that. We won’t write the eulogy on his career just yet because if there is any player who has the mental fortitude to come back from this type of setback again, it is Jeremiah Masoli. Since suffering the first major injury of his career in 2019 when he tore his ACL with the Ticats, Masoli has started 23 of a possible 54 games, with injuries ending three of his four seasons before the halfway mark. Many are speculating that he ruptured his Achilles tendon, a devastating injury for any player but especially one who will turn 35 in August. The quarterback needed to be helped off the field and was later spotted on the sideline in a walking boot and with a cane. Less than two quarters into his return, it looks like his season - and perhaps career - are over after suffering his third leg injury in five years. Masoli was making his return to Hamilton after spending eight seasons with the team from 2013 to 2022, but also his return to the field after a year-long absence.
Unfortunately, it has now happened twice with Jeremiah Masoli. There have only been a few times since Tim Hortons Field opened that I have heard a crowd go deadly silent. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats secured their first victory of the season with a nail-biting 21-13 win over the Ottawa Redblacks at Tim Hortons Field on Saturday night. © 2023 THE TENNESSEE TITANS.Photo: Bob Butrym/3DownNation.
