Sep 13, 2024 at 11:37 AM ETHAMILTON — For Scott Milanovich and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, what's understood need not be discussed.
"There's too many games left, we're too far away to start thinking about these things," he said."I certainly don't think I have to impress upon the importance of this game.Ottawa won the first meeting of the season 24-22 at TD Place on June 30. Before that, though, Hamilton had won 10 straight over the Redblacks.
The Redblacks are 2-1 within the East Division but 2-3 away from TD Place. Hamilton is 2-3 versus its conference rivals and just 2-4 at Tim Hortons Field. With the bye week, Hamilton will play 12 days after its rivalry win over Toronto. Ideally, the Ticats would've been able to ride the momentum of that victory into the following week but Mitchell said during a long CFL regular season players take their downtime whenever it comes.
Rookie running back Greg Bell will make a fifth start and fourth straight ahead of veteran James Butler. The six-foot, 200-pound American has rushed for 204 yards and three TDs on 33 carries in his last three contests while adding 11 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown. "James is more of a power runner, the first guy is not going to bring him down," Milanovich said."James is an elite pass protector and also a good receiver.
