Montreal Alouettes suspend three, add three to six-game injured list - 3DownNation

Rolle a no-show for the Als. That will leave a hole. A Rolle-hole.

Quote

The native of Brea, Calif. is making an effort to learn French out of respect for Quebec’s culture. He indicated that he was recently able to order a meal using the local language while out for breakfast with the team’s quarterbacks.

“They’re embracing us in the community and we want to be a part of the community,” he said. “As an American, I’m thankful to be in the CFL. It’s my first year with the Als, so I want to do everything I can to immerse myself amongst this community even if I sound like a rookie with French, but I’m trying to learn it and trying to grow.”

As good a reason as any to learn a language. Respect.

Faj still holding onto the press clippings from a few years ago I see. Poor guy doesn't get that his problem us that teams know what he can and can't do and have gameplanned to force him be a passer from the pocket and that's where it all falls apart

Good luck with all this, Dickie.......good luck. 

One of the most overused, misused sayings some people use on social media to get attention, look at me I'm being controversial, I'm unique:

'Here's a bold prediction, ...'

😂   This should work well:  

"Jason Maas, who served as Fajardo’s offensive coordinator with the Riders in 2022, is now the head coach of the Alouettes."

 

some predicted quotes:  "Just have to correct a few things.";  "need a receiver who can catch fifty fifty balls"

Need a receiver who can catch 75-25 balls.

Has Maas been taking classes so he can swear in both official languages?

Only in the CFL can you fail upwards. Terrible O in Saskatchewan.. gets fired, gets rewarding with a head coaching position..

Only in the cfl can you fail as oc and qb1 with one team then go to another team to be hc and qb1. It’s even crazier to me that some one looked at that mess and wanted both. 
 I could understand if the treadmill caused maas to be recycled as a hc. They could blame cf. and cf being a starter? Blame maas. But to take both is crazy.

Als do have a better OL than the Riders - so the Faj might make a few more plays

The irony in all this: Harris had a not to bad season last year, and both he and the Als would be better off, if he had stayed

I know this is not going to happen... but how hilarious would it be for the riders if Fajardo came out and actually did light it up for the Als? 😅

If the ownership situation had been settled by then, I'd bet a lot of players (like Eugene Lewis) would have stuck around.

You wanna know how I know your offense is ******?

For Harris as soon as he hits the red zone things frequently become unraveled.

Captain obvious here. Does being 'just more relaxed' in practice translate to game speed/pressure situations?

Imo it does. When guys get that slowing down of the game they generally take a big step forward. It’s when they rush that they get in trouble

TSN is off to a good start:

1. Intro has no audio

2.Throw to a crackly mic sideline interview during the anthem  

Killing it. 

I’m going to watch the scoreboard feed.

Long time coming for Bob Dyce as a HC, hope he does well
