The Ticats have been looking for a Ja’Gared Davis replacement all season and they may have finally found one in the 27-year-old from Alexandria, Virginia. The University of North Carolina product had just four career sacks entering Friday’s game, and doubled his total on the season with his output against the Riders. What Hills was for the offence, second-year pass rusher Malik Carney was for the defence.Ĭarney, who has seen his role increase over the last month, notched three of the team’s seven sacks of Fajardo on Friday night and tied for the team lead in defensive tackles with four. If Hamilton has finally unlocked a reliable run game, it could be the thing that opens up this offence for success over the regular season’s final three weeks. The Ticats as a team had only rushed for more than 100 yards five times this season, and Hills’ 132 yards were more than double the output of any single Tiger-Cat, topping his own statline of 61 yards against the Alouettes two weeks ago. Hills’ 132 yards was just the eighth time the Ticats have featured a 100-plus-yard rusher in their last 65 games. Hills rushed the ball 25 times for 132 yards, the most rushing yards by a Hamilton Tiger-Cats running back since Mercer Timmis ran for 133 against Edmonton in Week 2 of 2018. It seems as if Wes Hills’ ascent to RB1 is changing that.Īgainst the Montreal Alouettes, the Ticats used a heavy dose of Hills but I do not think anything would have led people to believe just how heavily utilized he would be on Friday night. Gable, Avon Cobourne, Tyrell Sutton, Alex Green and Don Jackson, the running game has been an afterthought in Tiger Town for over a decade. The Ticats employed one of the best rushing attacks in the entire CFL in the early 2000s, but despite having players such as C.J. Quick, name the last Tiger-Cats running back to have over 100 yards rushing in a game was? If you answered Don Jackson, congratulations, you win no prize.Īside from a small blip in 2018 under June Jones, the running game in Hamilton has been vastly under-utilized since DeAndra’ Cobb left the team following the 2010 season. The Ticats finished the game with more rushing attempts than pass attempts on offence and the defence tallied seven sacks of Roughriders’ quarterback Cody Fajardo. They ran the ball down the Riders’ throat and established dominance at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Hamilton won Friday night’s contest by playing some good, old-fashioned bully ball.
There are still several other scenarios that could see Hamilton make the playoffs now that they are just two points back of the Riders, but the easiest one is the easiest one. With five wins and three games left to play, the Tabbies now control their playoff fates. It may not have been pretty, but the Ticats escaping Tim Hortons Field on Friday with an 18-14 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders gives them a massive shot in the arm.

For once, they remain tight-lipped - and that only makes fans think a divorce is already in the works.īefore you go, click here to see all the celebrity couples who have stayed together after cheating scandals.Photo: Bob Butrym/3DownNation. But the couple has put much of their personal life out there for public consumption with their reality shows, and one even focusing on McDermott’s cheating scandal. Is her makeover related to a fresh start? Nothing has been confirmed by either of them - and that’s their right to keep things under wraps, especially with five kids to consider. Since then, the rumors haven’t stopped and Spelling has been seen with a glamorous new look walking around Los Angeles, only fueling the fire even more. So that’s a no - so he’s in the guest room.” That made Lewis even more curious, “Okay.
Spelling first spilled her personal details to Jeff Lewis on his SiriusXM show, Jeff Lewis Live in June. He asked her if the couple was sleeping in the same bed and she revealed, “You know what, right now my kids and dogs sleep in my bed.” A post shared by Tori Spelling could be researching an upcoming acting role, but the timing of her appointment is a little suspicious since fans have been speculating about her relationship with McDermott for months.
