Just a thought about special teams: if Cornish becomes the feature back and is in most offensive series, it seems like they're going to be holding him out of special teams play; I didn't notice him on kick return coverage on Sunday, so I guess that's the case. Combine that with Calixte being out, and I think that's a major reason that kick/punt coverage was so awful against Hamilton, as those are arguably our top two special-teams tacklers. I think Kilam has done a good job overall with the special teams, but they were unquestionably brutal on Sunday between poor coverage, missed kicks and fumbles. I'll be watching to see what adjustments they make for next week.
