Well, I wasn't expecting the Cats to royally suck against the Bombers. Especially considering they had both a kickoff and a missed field goal return TD from Thigpen. Clearly Rottier was having a difficult time with the tackle position and makes Jason Jimenez' potentially long term injury especially troublesome. Cobb certainly didn't do much going 22 yards on seven carries. Glenn by no means had a good game, and I'm willing to call him out on it, unlike some on the TSN panel at half-time. Glenn ended up going 15 for 30, with a TD and a pick and a fumble. That's some Bishop-like numbers. He'll have to play better next week or starting Porter becomes an option for week three. McDaniel had a good game, with over 100 yards receiving, but Bruce didn't do a lot and Stala was criminally underused. Drisan James in incompetent and shouldn't be starting.
The defence was especially disappointing, giving up a lot yards and 49 points. There was four sacks, with Floyd getting two himself. The linebacking corps had a large number of tackles between them, but didn't seem like they had a great game apart from limiting the run. I'm not sure what safety Sandy Beveridge was doing, but I didn't notice him during the game and that's not a good thing. The defence was hung out to dry by the offense, spending too much time on the field, but Pierce getting 89 yards on the ground with 6 carries was a big difference maker.
Hopefully the Cats can learn from the tape going into this week against the Stamps. They basically have to improve everywhere.
