Les Dodson Jersey Retro . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Thirteen hundred receiving yards or 25% of the teams production through the air; 1,373 combined return yards, almost half the teams special teams production; and 17 scores, a whopping one third of the teams total scoring. Thats what the Hamilton Tiger-Cats stand to lose if Most Outstanding Special Teams Player and star receiver Chris Williams continues his holdout all year. To be fair, whoever the Tiger-Cats tab to be Williams replacement – both on offence and special teams – will make up for some of that loss production; but the playmaking New Mexico State product was a potential game-changer every time he had the ball in his hands last year, and that is something that just cant be replaced. Maybe Williams changes his mind and reports to Hamilton to pplay out the final year of his contract before his inevitable jump to the NFL, but at least from here, that scenario doesnt look promising.dddddddddddd “(Williams agent) Dan (Vertlieb) has not contacted us nor has Chris,” Ticats head coach Kent Austin told reporters after a CFL arbitrator ruled the Williams contract with Hamilton was valid. “Hes got our numbers.” With it looking more likely Williams will take the year off every day, it will be up to everyone else to step up some and chip away at the lost production. Finding someone to duplicate Williams special teams prowess will be a yeomans work, but the accumulated talent on offence has a fair shot to mask the receivers absence.
