Medlock Named Special Teams Player of the Week

For the first time this season a member of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats has been named one of the CFL's Players of the Week, as Justin Medlock has been named the Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 3.

Medlock, who was acquired via trade in the off-season, was four-for-four on field goals in Saturday's win against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Medlock has been Mr. Automatic in 2011, which is a drastic departure from last season, when Sandro DeAngelis was about as reliable as the Hamilton public transit system. It is such a breath of fresh air to have a guy like Medlock on the team. There are no worries with him. Everyone, from the players to the coaching staff to the fans, just trusts that he will make his kicks.

Congratulations to Justin Medlock on a well-deserved award.
