After several years languishing in the basement of the league standings, the Tiger-Cats – under head coach Bellefeuille – climbed all the way up to respectable the past three years. Andrew Luck Youth Jersey . Three straight years of making the playoffs – and even the teams first playoff win in several years last season – looked good for a team that struggled so much in the mid-2000s. But middling results were no longer good enough for the Ticats brass. They were tired of not getting over the hump and wanted more, hence the sweeping changes in the off-season. And if preseason excitement translates to regular season success, the Ticats will be in good shape. Hamiltons offence could be very explosive in 2012. Yes, Burris lost his starting job in Calgary last season and just turned 37-years-old, but the optimist would counter with the fact hes only a year removed from being named the leagues Most Outstanding Player and his 2011 numbers were far from awful. Another plus is Burris familiarity with Cortezs system. With Cortez serving as OC, the two won a Grey Cup together in Calgary in 2008. And just like in Calgary, Burris will have no shortage of receivers to throw to. With Fantuz coming home from Saskatchewan as a free agent, Giguere finally signing north of the border, and Dave Stala coming off yet another strong year in black and gold, the Ticats have arguably the best non-import receiving corps in the league. Add that to the promising group of American receivers the team possesses, a group that includes last years Most Outstanding Rookie Chris Williams and promising youngster Bakari Grant, and the biggest concern Burris could have is keeping everyone happy. Switching over to the defensive side of the ball, by now every team is aware of the Ticats hard-hitting linebacking corps, and it may have gotten even better this off-season with the addition of longtime Toronto Argonaut Kevin Eiben. Jamall Johnson and Rey Williams were named East Division All-Stars and Markeith Knowlton is just a year removed from being named the leagues Most Outstanding Defensive Player. Eiben, who arrived in the Hammer with something to prove after the Argos let him walk in free agency, may take Knowltons starting spot to help with the ratio. If there are question marks for the Tiger-Cats, they come in the trenches. Both lines will have some changeover from last year. On the offensive side, Rottier left for Edmonton while C Marwan Hage, who tore his ACL on Labour Day last season, is a health concern heading into the season. On the d-line, Hickman is trying his luck in the NFL and the team is moving on from Baggs at the other end spot. Players like veteran guard Peter Dyakowski and second-year DT Robert Rose will be relied upon to help navigate through any bumps that go along with adding new players to the lineup, and keep the team upright in the trenches. Its the final season of historic Ivor Wynne Stadium, and by the looks of it, the Tiger-Cats plan to go out with a bang. No longer satisfied with their “also ran” status, Hamilton went out and made a lot of moves, creating lots of off-season buzz. Its the next step towards becoming Grey Cup contenders, so long as the off-season excitement equals wins when the games start to count. Andrew Luck White Jersey . The Predators have until next Wednesday to match the monstrous deal or accept four first-round draft picks and begin trying to fill the cavernous holes left by the departure of its top-two star defencemen.

Hes the cagey veteran and ageless wonder, while his opponent is young, athletic, talented and in the case of Dawson, 17 years younger. Hopkins does believe Dawson is a talented fighter, but on the other hand, doesnt believe Dawson has any attributes that will surprise him. Reggie Wayne White Jersey .
