Drew Willy sera le quart partant demain soir à Ottawa. / Drew Willy will get the start at QB tomorrow in Ottawa.#Alouettes@LCFca@CFL 8:27 AM - 30 May 2018
In all seriousness... if the Als bring mostly rookies, it's going to be a long day for them.
The last time a bad team sent mostly rookies to play against a good team with vets was very ugly. It was in 2013 when Winnipeg played in Hamilton (Guelph) in the preseason, and Hamilton won 52-0.
I think it will be a similar night for the Als rookies.
Everyone is ganging up on the Als! The Als will lose 190404049404 to 0, bla bla bla!
Anyway, Johnny doesn't care about wins or losses for pre season games. What Johnny is hoping for, is that Drew Willy proves he should not be the starter at QB, and Shiltz gets the job.
The 2017 Ticats? Awful as they were... they still won twice the games the Als did, and after an 0-8 start. Hamilton went 6-4 under June Jones. It may take Mike Sherman 5 seasons to win 6 games.
The 2017 games between the Als and Ticats make it pretty obvious who has a better team, and on top of that the QB situation in Montreal is even worse this year. It's going to be a looooong year for you guys.
2017 Als/Ticats games:
Hamilton @ Montreal Oct. 22 - 43-16 Hamilton
Montreal @ Hamilton Nov. 3 - 33-0 Hamilton
Those are pretty big losses for you guys... and to an "awful" team.
I think they r using it as a promo . I think they r going to use the old red wing helmets in June , the 70 logo in July , the 74 logo in August and then back to present the rest of the way .
They r not putting wings on the helmets unless you make the team in the regular season game .
They have a vid on there site talking about it . Promotional thingy .
