Good move. I always thought critics were a little hard on AC. If he had a good OC and OL, he would be putting up great numbers.
Glad to see that he will be back, especially given the fact that the Als have not been able to find a capable backup since...well, Anthony Calvillo. :thup:
Good move for Montreal....But its time to start developing someone to take over!
Brad Banks…Jason Maas … McDone …Akili Smith …Tee Martin…Popp has quite a field to choose from… :lol: oh i forgot Ted White… :thup:
