Ticats Going to the Hogs...

We talk about the Quaterbacks Mass Chang Willams King
We talk about the Running backs Davis Holmes and Lumsden
We Even talk about the Wide Recivers and Slot Backs
But do any of us Really Talk about Heart of any Football Team
The Offence Line or Hoggies for Short.

This Men who Job it is open holes or Close them and Keep the Defence at Bay.
The Life of a Linemen is Hard
Cause if Miss a Block it could cost you an bad Play or an Injury .

These men who don't want the Spotlight
They Work Sweating and Grunting Opening Holes for our Running backs.
Then after the Playis over they do all over again next play
a Thankless job.


But without the Hoggies there would be no Scores .
Two of My Personal Heroes are Guard George Hudson and Tackle Pascal Cheron.
Both are coming off Major Knee Operations from Last year.
Both are working they Way back Slowly on to the Gridiron.

Both Proud Family Men and I am Proud to call them Friends.
George is Local Boy From Near by Niagara Falls Area
Pascal is from Quebec and he loves Playing in Hamilton


Some People Don't understand the work it takes to be a Offence Linemen
1st off the Stance and How your Feet are apart in that Stance Effects your Blocking
also you can't hold the Defence with your hands .
You have Push them away with holding on
Not as easy as it looks.

The Hoggies are Special Breed of men
who take great pride in their work
when Jason Completes Pass not Hassled by the Pass Rush or Corry Break Long Run.
You See George and His Hoggies Pals Smile with Pride.
That is the Reward for an Offence Linemen
It is not Cheering or Adoring Crowd But knowing the did there job Well.

Next Offence Series The Do All Again
With Quiet Pride The Hoggies are a Special Breed Indeed
That why Hamilton Tigercats are going to the hogs.
