Cornerback, Mike Jones was arguably the Als best player in Week 2. He had a first quarter interception overturned, but proved to be valuable in coverage all game against the Double Blue. Montreal will certainly be relying on another standout performance against a versatile Riders offence.

Montreal’s defence will need to maintain defensive pressure for 60 minutes against Riders quarterback Cody Fajardo. Fajardo has thrown for 558 yards and a pair of touchdowns through two games. It’s still early, but his average 9.6 yards per completion so far this year is the highest of his career.

In their Week 2 win over Edmonton, Shaq Evans was once again Fajardo’s main target, catching five of his eight targets for 81-yards.

Mitchell Picton and Kian Schaffer-Baker will also provide formidable options the Als must find a way to slow down. Picton contributed to the Riders win in Week 2 with a 28-yard reception for a touchdown, he followed up the touchdown by catching the ensuing two-point conversion.

mute engaged  if suitor is involved.

do not  need to hear about schaffer

he is a man of God so...

Faj made a pass! About 2’ off the ground but made it!

And then a bunch of holding by Sask and they still get sacked. 

20 to 3 als

 

very enjoyable game so far

-1 yr rushing…. Faj getting eaten up every play. Clarke seems to be a big loss to the Riders. 

Als doing an excellent job in containment on Fajardo

Cofaj looking as terrible as I expect him to look.

Proud of the Als.

Ah, always the age old question... Tune into Montreal's le breudcast, or the insufferable 620 CKRM... Pick your poison...

Marino roughing penalty, big surprise

Riders might have more yards in penalties than on Offence. 

I thought the Riders were the best team in the league? At least that's what that clown John Hodge was saying this week.

their colour guy.... cant listen to him. mullinder.    

faj pick 6 would be nice.

when faj tries to pass over 10 yards, they should send three receivers out in a group, sort of triangle formation, five yards apart.

ball might be near one of them.

Not sure that last Lewis catch was a catch….

DBs have to knock the ball away.

 

Montreal isn’t going to be an easy out this year, especially with Harris at QB. 
 

Wishing Mike Jones was still part of this team.  An underated part of our secondary.

Good god is the Rider offensive line … offensive.  They are terrible and in trouble if they can’t figure out their protection.

Riders most undisciplined team in the CFL. By a wide margin.

What a totally undisciplined team...good lord ..and Faj is not a true 1st string pivot.

And that online is embarassing...I think the last 2 games are the true Riders team...inept on offence.. undisciplined all around and looked good against a Cats team that totally shat the bed..CGY will be our toughest test...then BC in west

And that's all on limp Dickie...guy is not a guy in control by any means

Did I tell anyone that I'm one of the biggest Alouette fans today? Been there the whole time since 630 am!! Go Ouettes!!

You think at some point they would cut a guy like Marino to send a message about the stupid penalties
