Hey he did ok. He got away from the Stamps pressure a lot. And made some plays. And got some luck, and then fumbled, and then got cocky. But yeah, played good.
Issue was more of how TSN was talking him up as if he was the next star, and "star material" was used. This guy has started 5 CFL games. Suitor had so many platitudes, and had a highlight pack in the 4th when it looked like BC was on the way to the win so he could seem timely and relevant.
Jennings from that point completed about 4 passes out of 12 or 13, including the 2 interceptions. But he was still getting prasied and stroked by Suitor. Given that the Lions had Jennings hand the ball off it was pretty clear the guy was playing scared but Suitor had planted his flag.
As mentioned, Suitor quickly scrambled and changed his praise after Calgary win to Mitchell who he hadnt talked about for the majority of the game. Just so transparent and pathetic.
The guy is a shameless cliche, looking to sound more important and more smarter than he is. He often makes big generic statements about a play or player within a game and keeps patting himself on his back when he thinks hes proven right (tonight it was calling Jennings a star) the rest of the game, where he is basically saying "see told you so, I'm so smart that I see things that others don't". Its nauseating and has been for well over a decade.
