Toronto at Hamilton, First Quarter Revisited

I watched the first quarter again on TSN to see what I had missed in the stands. Quite painful to watch. The first three minutes were not bad. Then downhill with the penalties during the first fracas that the Cats appeared to get a bit screwed on. Interesting that John Williams started as fullback without the benefit of training camp, although the Cats played a lot of five receiver sets where he didn't appear. The middle linebacker Haley and the two defensive ends looked lost or incompetent or a combination of the two, although there were a few plays where the Cats got close to Joseph, but didn't close the deal. Hage's bad snaps didn't help in the first quarter, although Porter did turn one into a first down off a scramble. Porter's interception at the end of the first quarter was unfortunate. Toronto totally outplayed Hamilton in that pivotal quarter. The Cats can't start like that against BC this week.
