It hasn't taken Chris Jones long to make an impact with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' defence. The unit has forced 10 turnovers in three games under Jones, Hamilton's senior defensive assistant.
The unit has forced 10 turnovers in three games under Jones, Hamilton's senior defensive assistant. Six came Saturday in the Ticats 37-21 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.
Jones has enjoyed much success in Canada. He's a four-time Grey Cup champion and in '18 was the CFL's coach of the year as the Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach/GM. That includes dropping a defensive end back into coverage to either create a different look or bring a linebacker or defensive back from elsewhere on the field to create added pressure on the quarterback."I'm definitely enjoying it just learning a new defence and now to see the field in a different light. I'm definitely thankful to Chris Jones for giving me the opportunity to do that.
Hamilton has since earned important wins over Toronto and Ottawa to remain in the East Division playoff hunt. The Ticats visit the Argos on Friday night."I like his philosophy, we're going to make everything simple and fast," Usher said."If everything is simple, we're going to play fast." "You go out to practice and you're 12 of 13 and everything that's been drawn up works and you're telling the defence how to run the other team's defence, how to run their coverages and, 'Hey we want you to drive this.' It gives you almost a false sense of security sometimes.""Scott gets on the headset and says, 'OK, this is against our defence, it's competitive so it might not be the same read find the completion,'" Mitchell said.
