SHORT CLIP WEEK 13
that’s cheating didn’t do anything here they come again second and Longos brings it down and he can’t get away as he’s finished off of the play by Willie Jefferson he’ll pick up six on the play but be well short of a first down and the ti cats will be forced to punt Willie Jefferson to tall drink of water coming off the edge and shows you his athletic ability redirecting to get a very elusive Zack keris and oh you got Jefferson on one end got Willis on the other mix in a little Sheffield Alexander steel and Su all kinds of problems for hton offense J gon takes the kick in the 35 yd line flags are down as gon goes out of bounds and this will likely bring the kick return back a 50yd pun a return of 16 that will likely be negated esal by the way have lost Kendall Lawrence for the night at the running back position so Tyler Thomas will take over for the rest of the evening so both teams starting tail backs are out of the football game the difference is during the return holding Edmonton number n 10yd penalty first down difference is Edmonton has a backup dress Hamilton does not eskimo’s lead by six flipp it in Hamilton as the esos have the advantage here in quarter number three sack tally is brought to you by purer tackling hunger across Canada check the eskimo’s number two in theas CFL in quarterback sacks Hamilton’s allowed the second most Eric Norwood four on the night one away from TY the CFL single game record Here Comes The Blitz and the toss goes out to Tyler Thomas and Thomas is off and running still going up close to Midfield finally brought down by Ed gainy a 27 ydd gain for Tyler Thomas who steps in for Kendall Lawrence yeah G’s playing a fieldside corner usually Man by Steven but he’s out so gy comes in and so that affects middle linebacker position so Reed’s got to sit and you see pus playing the middle and here they exploit that they try to come with the blitz off the edge they out flank Norwood then it’s Thomas on the edge doing his thing first down from the 52 and Riley throws it over the top of the stairs but Rico Murray picks it off and now Murray’s got room to run calling for blocks Rico Murray B he Dives down to the 48 yd line there’s the big play by the Hamilton defense an 18yd return on the eskimo’s second turnover of the football game the ti cats get the ball back down by nine with six and a half to go in the third quarter this is all pressure from the h the defense trying to create you’re going to see everybody up here and they’re coming with pressure and they bring seven Riley to throw the football before he wants to off his back foot doesn’t locate it well Fred stamps is not ready and here’s what Fred stamps does he’s trying to get over he doesn’t understand a sense of urgency he’s out leveraged well that’s a nice job by Rico Murray knowing what’s going on in the back field coming up with a big play now Karo shovels it off for the misdirection play to Brandon Banks he’s got bodies in front of him and bangs is across Midfield down to the IMs of 52 before Pat Watkins finally throws him down gain of nine I like that idea misdirection get in the ball get the ball in the hands of a guy that can outrun anybody on the field Brandon Banks get him on the edge I like it try to take advantage of this turnover by the defense exactly what they needed the win at their back trying to get back in this football game figuring it out M minus a tail back from the first play of the game def has been looking for some production somewhere now the with the clock running here in the third quarter here is co Prime busting through for a first down the 45 yd line of the Eskimo here we say it’s prime time in Hamilton that’s nice that’s nice that just power running give it to the big boy co Prime Optimus Prime in the middle coming downhill people are just getting plowed out of the way like a s BR track in the middle of winter here in Hamilton on the last weekend of Summer you had to bring that up didn’t [Applause] you play fake to primeos has time steps up and Fires for L tker he got belted by JC Sher Shar Absol Ely unloaded on Luke Tasker who’s still down who hiset saw mask up around his eyes saw this unfolding G as kis wanted to push the ball deep they had a play designed to go deep they get great protection after play action holds the linebacker he steps up in the pocket tries to spot it to Tasker and then JC sees it the whole way comes underneath with a little forearm shiver W Him Luke Tasker back to number 47 being on the field that went went from a goodl looking play to ugly and hurt C remains in the game second and 10 Here Comes The Rush again and keros is down and Odell Willis his Nemesis gets him again the Beast is hungry tonight he is eating big time it’s a feast it’s a smorgus board they Dro everybody here here they’re only rushing three folks look and I I he’s coming right there they’re bringing four so they’re cheating a little bit they dropped eight Brank four and got to the quarterback with ease now headlock with the punt low driving kick bounces into the eskimo’s end zone and G will surrender one as the tie cats are now within eight so it’s a one possession game on the 57 yd single by the Hamilton tie cat Odell Willis in the back field all night of Hamilton it’s Hall of Fame weekend in the CFL and tomorrow seven exceptional men will go on the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame that’s a pretty good team you got kahun as a receiver Roberts at running back will Ki up front Neil lumson can block for you and run coaches Larry haer w b Moine as well getting in the quarterback yeah with those two coaches Wally and Larry I got a and Neil he’s doing some coaching now I think over that’s fantastic speak Hall of fam Angelo MOS he brought to hurt when he arrived yes he did think a couple other out there in the in the stands some Hall of Famers saw Russ Jackson earlier yeah right now on the field the eskimos have the ball their 35 yd line now up by eight four minutes away from the fourth they have dominated teams this season Here Comes The Rush standing in is Riley but the pass was tipped on the way out meanwhile Delvin bro of the ti cat secondary has gone to the locker room as well so the injuries keep piling up for Hamilton TI cats next week will play in Winnipeg they’re 0 and five on the road so far this [Applause] season as a guy who made the play right there Eric Carris just getting after it this guy you have 12 of him he’s right here coming in the quarterback right in his face it’s pretty easy when you’re unblocked but played some offense this year as well he did he caught a beautiful pass showed receivers how to catch it His Highest Point made it look easy went and attacked it in full stride there’s an injured Evon esimo meantime on the field coach Austin absolutely loves Eric Harris the way he approaches the game he said B you’d love this guy you had 12 of them you never lose that’s Matt o’ Don lose down the Kingston Ontario native former Queen’s golden Gale who was struggling when he got up and then went back to the [Music] [Applause] turf 6′ 11 340 lbs is Matt O’Donnell tried throwing over that he was a he was a player earlier in the ball game who had a flat tire blue Shu got that problem sorted out now we’re dealing with another one a little more serious here I two guys try to get him up three or four more guys six see what happened to Matt o’d Don on the play I think he’s treding to come out and kick out on Harris right here he tries to get a piece of him kind of goes awkwardly he kind of catches his neck and kind of bends it back and hopefully that’s just a stinger watch him kind of go side looks like to meet a stinger he’s walking off and often times players can shake that right off I’m sure Matt O’Donald will now a big second down play for the tie cats second and 10 for the esos from their 35 yd line and Riley on the quarterback draw gets tripped up on the play and once again it’s Harris who gets a hand on him will be forc to punt with three and a half to go and a big two and0 from the ti cat defense which entering this week Matt had forced 30 in the previous three games a dramatic Improvement for the ti cats in that department well they’ve been stingy here at Tim Orton’s field since opening it up and Eric Harris certainly took care of business on that series of downs and forced it two and out that’s exactly what they need to win back trying to get some more points in the board O’Neal hangs it up high here’s Brandon Becks and the wind just pushes that back and it goes out of Bounds at the Hamilton 45 yd line just a 26 yd punt by O’Neal the winds really kicking up here in the third quarter there’s more rain in the forecast expected to blow in tonight so the tie cats with 258 to go will have the wind at their back and the ball at their 45 yd line that ball looks like it was going to fly about 50 yard then it got to his Apex and then just came straight down as the wind knocked it down actually started going backwards as it was coming [Applause] down ESO showz CL delivers flags are down as Tasker makes the catch up at the 50 yard line JC shared is on a mission tonight he looks like he’s healthy Gord he was all over him there playing soft The Zone understood what was available to the offense kis took it to Tasker and then he was there in a sure-handed tackle TI CER called offside Hamilton number 16 5y penalty remains first down last week Matt was the first time this season the ti cats weren’t called for illegal procedure they’ve been leading the league in that category all year long and the frustration for Kent Austin when we spoke to him yesterday she said unacceptable I’d say leaving at that now first and 15 fires m is caught by Tasker a first down at Midfield Luke Tasker got leveled a moment ago by JC shered makes the catch right in front of him for a gain of 16 this is a receiver knows the importance of coming back to the football tasker’s right here he’s going to work it up pushes the defender back and work back to the football nice job of understanding the urgency get up past the level and the depth the linebacker come back through the hole make the catch First Catch of the night for Luke [Applause] Tasker out for the EV 54 they fake the toss the banks P fos goes up the field caught by Bari Grant first down to the Evans at 41 all kinds of stuff going on that play Gord fake pump out here to the wide side and hitch grain he spins around and he pumps it to the other side and he wants to get Bari Grant going down so watch GIS little toss fake pump to the flat and now try to get Bari down the sidelines that’s not there so barari runs a makeshift comeback and Claris finds him on the sidelines maybe not what Tommy Condell Drew up that’s the extension of a play gone bad though they work on that hard in Hamilton first down fires and fact can’t hang on [Applause] that’s you don’t see that very often oh ken Austin knowing there’s one that got away and as you talked about The Hourglass draining quickly here 90 seconds to go in the third quarter the ti cats with the Wind of their back was a great throw but certainly a catchable ball K knows that he doesn’t want to get in second long against Theon defense [Applause] now on second down here comes the rush Clos gets it awayi Grant with a catch fighting for yardage and they’re going to Mark him at about the 34 yd line that’ll leave him three yd short of a Hamilton first down so with under a minute to go here in the third quarter on comes Justin Medlock with the field goal team so the tie cats are chipping away here in the third quarter yeah I don’t think threes and singles are going to do it though with the win at their back they’re going to really have to come up with some field positions some turnovers in the fourth quarter with the win in their face in order to secure a win here for the third time in a row at home so Medlock who is 22 of 26 on the year coming in he’s two for two tonight this from 42 yds up lots of wind his back and he puts it through so Medlock doing his job and the tie cats are now down by five but the esos is the best fourth quarter team in the league they both scored the opposition 117 to 59 in the fourth quarter this year and have been Dynamite the last two weeks they’re getting the ball back and the win are back in 33 seconds yeah last couple weeks 24 points 21 points in those last two games in the fourth quarter finishing the deal a 58o advantage in the fourth quarter so far this season now Pat White is in swings it out ajon makes the catch but right away the safety GRE Butler gets him the gain is two got to come a long way to secure that tackle in open field against gon who’s proved that he’s very Elusive and dangerous in the open field there’s another play by white where he leaves the field and leaves yeah M it’s like alterate shot in golf the trees you’re shot that’s the way I go you’re going to be my partner expect a lot of second and long Simone lawr is back in the game for the time second here comes the rush deliv marel or rather Darius Darius Bowman makes the catch it’s a first down to the 48 yd line marcelus Bowman was in the area that’ll be the end of the third quarter so the Edmonton Eskimos with a fivepoint lead they’ll have the win at their back in the four Zack keris and Mike Ry have both taking some licks tonight Toe to Toe both the ti cats and the eskimos in Hamilton so the Hamilton tiat scores seven points with the win in the third quarter here the stats after three quarters in the football game there have been 11 sacks total in the game Eric Norwood has four for Hamilton Odell Willis has three for Edmonton it’s been a nightmare for quarterbacks Matt you talk about small plays making a difference an 11 yard gain from Mike Riley to a Darius Bowman at the end of the third quarter really counts as one of those it does and we talked about being put in a tough situation a second long one white doesn’t have success in first and 10 Welly this is one of the best throws of the evening here in a big time throw because it continues to or breaks momentum that Hamilton had with the win at their back there and moving the chains giving Edmonton win at their back starting a really good field position here in the fourth quarter first down from their own 48 yd Liney out in front of a Darius Bowman it falls incomplete and Ry says that’s me yeah well yeah that ball came right at us Gordon you saw it just push to the ground Wis at their back and the ball is going to fly differently and Riley immediately tapped the one and the three said that was on him wanted to spot it better they had some space out here on the edge I like that idea trying to make some guys that are playing some different positions right now make plays Courtney Ste back the field side corner on second down Riley fires kwor jles it up in the intercepted Courtney has it and Steven is down to the Edmonson 40 yd line the eskimos are arguing the ball hit the ground that hung out there forever and courney Steven made a really nice break on and came off of his man and his route his area of protection and made a play a play that they’re going to have to have with the win in their face come up defensively had his first interception last week at home against Saskatchewan falls behind k a little bit he Taps it up kind of like setting it for a volleyball Spike shot kill shot and Courtney Sten comes up with second interception on the year all turnovers are automatically reviewed and cat is going to be an interception Eric Harris causing a havoc on that play too along with Norwood who’s had a heck of a night and then Courtney Steven doing his thing playing the field side corner once again so assuming this stands the ti CER set up at the Edon 40 Gordon we’re just talking about that off camera what Ham’s going to have to do in the fourth quarter because seven points in the third really just you know wasn’t enough to take the lead so they’re going to have to do it against the win here and the way their offense has came stying by the Edmonton defense their own defense going to have to come up with a play and we just saw one you know in week two Matt everything pointed against the tie cats in Edmonton they lost karos early but they hung in that football game and actually had two chances to win it in the final minute of the football game now first down tat at the Evon 40 Here Comes The Blitz deliv Fant hasn’t Mo the r for Andy Fant down the 26 yd line as zachos took a shot but got it away oh my goodness Andy doesn’t realize just how important this football how lucky he was to catches Zack is feeling some heat here he sees it right in his lap coming into you Zack keris hanging tough showing you need you need to be tough to play quarterback Ryan Hines gets his hands up in his face too I think that they missed one there that was a penalty delivered nicely to pan first down for the 27 clar fires T the catch and Luke Tasker inside the 15 down to the 13 yd line another Hamilton first down maybe the tie cats need to work in with the wind all the time well yeah and they’re playing with Tempo and a lot and nice Rhythm here walk Zack cair throw the ball how quickly comes out of his hands ball sna bang Ball’s out already and taskers find the soft spot in the zone moving the chains well that is precise first down to the 14 yd line w F to run and F diving ahead Mark him down at the one there’s a flaged down at the 20 yd line and Ken Austin not looking pleased it’s against the tie [Applause] [Music] cats offside Hamilton number seven 5y py remains first down I read Kent’s lip right there say that’s unbelievable now stop there it is incredible Matt to think about procedure in offside and how much it’s cost Hamilton this year those are not aggression fouls those aren’t there’s the off sides right there it’s pretty easy to see three yards off sides just m time on the snap first down from the 19 B was down to the one caros with time delant is down to the one so it just took them an extra play and pick up 18 yard and another Hamilton first down first he don’t succeed try try again he goes right back to him and stay on side yeah there you go we can do this we do it all the time coming right to left and he’s going to work across Zach’s face and he’s going to spot the ball beautiful first and goal from the one remains in Dives ahead now and the tie CS are back in front so off the turnover the interception by Courtney Steven the tie cats Drive the ball the short field and now lead by one with a point after to go yeah they ran a hurry up short yardage situation there and kind of caught Edmonton off guard a bit and easy touchdown welld designed well executed drive and G I can tell you fouron turned the ball over five times three interceptions and two fumbles that interception right there was cost for the ESS on they’re doing their damage to try to turn the tables on them right now five play 40 yd Drive 91 seconds Medlock put the point after through and the tie cats are up by two 1129 to go in the fourth quarter back come the tie cats at home the lead by a pair
