However, all the players are wearing the signature helmets instead of the white ones. Furthermore, Brandon Bridge looks like he is in the background of one of them. Most likely, these photos were taken from the practices before the home game versus Hamilton.
The player wearing #1 from the posted page had yellow shoes which matches what Brandon Bridge wore. Here is a picture from today's practice. None of the 4 quarterbacks are wearing yellow shoes. There is somebody with orange though. Maybe that is Greg McGhee. Also from this picture there seems to be no changes in the OL, so Luc Brodeur-Jourdain does not appear ready to start yet.
Yeah, I agree. The onus SHOULD be on Thorpe to step up. He got owned by Elizondo last time. So how is he going to find ways to counter what Ottawa is doing on offense?
Same goes for Calvillo and Chapdelaine. On the plus side, last time we played it was Flopgate, in addition to S.J. and Sutton going down with injuries. So we were left undermanned on the offensive side of the ball. This time, hopefully, none of that stuff happens.
Mike, I'd go with 13-18. Mark Nelson has owned us the past two years and I can't see that changing...
If they bring back Chuck and Duck, I am not watching the team for the rest of the year. And I am going to write a letter to Wetenhall voicing my displeasure.
Not sure they will bring Compton back but it would be understandable to have a look at him given he is the only Als QB with a winning record since Calvillo.
But I think they should go to Cato. I'm not sure what would be preventing them from supporting Cato if they are not. They seem intent on adding QBs continually and not fully determine what they have in Cato.
It’s hard to believe that the Alouettes under Crompton were a stellar 8-2 when he was the starting qb. The big question though was this W/L record due to Crompton and his play or was it more like it was inspite of it ? Judging by the majority of posts in this forum I would say that most Alouette fans would say the latter. Anyway for what it’s worth I would be very surprised to see the team ever going back to Crompton as their starting QB. I think that if the losing continues for this team and if they eventually fall out of play-off contention that they will finish out the season with Cato as the starter with Glenn in the wings as a tutor and for mop up duty only. There just doesn’t seem to be any upside, reason or room for this team to activate a Jonathan Crompton who has played all of three games since that 8-2 string back in 2014.
The record had very little to do with Crompton. His stats were garbage and incidentally it's not like we won in the playoffs with Crompton under center. Classic case of confusing correlation with causation.
Crompton had the benefit of playing with our veteran O-line, including Bourke. Garcia got the most out of him by making him a one-read QB who basically just chucked the ball up for Green and Carter and hoped for the best. But that kind of popgun stuff only goes so far.
Jovon Johnson not happy with Herb Zurkowsky. He believes Zurkowsky branded him a loser in yesterday's article. Billy Parker then agrees with him on the assessment of Zurkowsky as always being negative.
Arbitrator did not announce his ruling immediately leading to speculation that Duron Carter will play on Friday.
Als hope if Carter is eventually suspended, it will be next week against Winnipeg. By then, both Kenny Stafford and Tyrell Sutton are expected to be back in the lineup.
Us as fans we can trash the team all we want. But hes a reporter for the gazette like the biggest news paper in montreal. How can someone even try and become a fan if he always pooping on the team and the players at every chance he gets.
Good for both of them. Glad some of the players are fed up with his constant stream of lazy negativity. He doesn’t even chase down the real stories worthy of criticism. Just sits on his a$$ and spew the same old invective. :thdn:
