This week RJ Broadhead is joined by Courtney Stephen and Rob Hitchcock to discuss the performance of the team so far in the season, the firing of the Tiger-Cats' special teams coordinator, and the emergence of certain players. They emphasize the importance of players stepping up and giving their all on special teams, as well as the need for a strong team culture. They also discuss the potential for improvement and the importance of having a short-term memory in football. The conversation touches on the performance of receiver Tim White and the success of Shemar Bridges on second downs, the team's offense, the importance of timing and decision-making, the role of the coaching staff, and the need to focus on winning rather than individual accolades.
