Need to contain that blitz second half. Jennings is getting a bit rattled I think.

1st half highlights:

* Too much 'chunk' yardage given up by the secondary. Stewart hasn't impressed me much since coming over from Hamilton.

* Leone clearly winning the battle on punts, giving us a clear field position edge.

* Jennings taking a long time to find open receivers. Are they not getting separation. Are we missing that 'big play' receiver?

* O-line started well, but they're getting beaten on 4 man rushes.

This game has me worried. Many half-time adjustments needed.

Opponents have figured out Jennings' hot reads going back to 2nd half of Hamilton game. He looks unsure and confused. Never seen him run this much. Jones hasn't made adjustments. 71 yards passing.

Lions very fortunate to be only trailing 3 points at the half. Coverage teams awful. Offence need to counter the Ottawa rush

On Ottawas side Harris with his receiver core is dangerous, he already has over 200 yards on those long bombs.

Me too. Hamilton's offence was a bit slow to start the game, giving us opportunity but we didn't do much.

Harris is warming up now.

Our offensive line looks awful. Get Steward and Vaillencourt back in there. Johnson too..Adcock looks slow.

Ottawa is mixing their defense...man and zone....blitz and no blitz. On second and four, in the first half, we didn't have a receiver running anything shorter than a 15 yard deep pattern. Not acceptable.

Our receivers are not getting separation.

We need the O line and the D secondary to step up big time.

First and goal run for 2, sacked off a three-man rush, then missed FG. Missed opportunity to start the second half.

Godammit Leone!?! I love you punts but miss the days of Lui or McCallum.

You take it for granted don't you?
