Welcome to this week's episode of "Ticats This Week," hosted by RJ Broadhead alongside Steve Milton and former Ticats Mike Daly and Luke Tasker. Coming off a bye week, the Tiger-Cats face a critical point in the season. Join us as we recap the first five games, discuss the significance of the bye week, and look ahead to what needs to change for the Tiger-Cats to turn their season around. 

Takeaways

• The bye week offers a chance for players to reset both physically and mentally.
• Historical context shows bye weeks can be pivotal, referencing the 2017 season turnaround.
• Players need to return with renewed energy and focus on executing their roles better.
• The team must avoid falling into deep early-game deficits, which have been a recurring issue.
• There is a need for better individual responsibility and internal leadership.
• Improvement on defense, particularly in creating turnovers, is crucial.
• The next game against the Toronto Argonauts could be a turning point.
