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

Those are some pretty unspectacular long throws by the best qb 🙃 in the league

Another pass 5 yards over the receivers head followed up by too much money Duke and a drop ball. 

Screw Duke Williams.                                                                               

Haha....oh Cody....hope he doesn't cry again

too close. need more als points.

Jones should've trucked Dickenson

Anything over 10 yards is a 50/50 ball from Crapardo

Duke Williams is grossly over rated...and NOT a team player or a good influence on young guys

As much as I like the dude, CF isn’t a championship QB.

There are a lot of basic reads he misses. I counted three passes that would’ve been touchdowns had he surveyed his reads. 
 

Locking onto receivers, happy feet, etc. not a championship caliber QB. I’m close to done with him.

How lazy was that route, Duke? That interception was on you.

Oh yea...he been loafing on a few plays...like I said...not a team guy and piss poor influence to youngsters on team

Wonder who and where the fingers will be pointed now...

Morgan Vallen... UGH!!!

I smell another pick 6

Looks like the Duke of Dicks is about to take his ball and go home. Man it would have been nice to have kept Mike Jones around with the departure of Alford.......Super underrated.

Is that the whole Sask offence? Hitches and screens?

 

Stats say Faj averaged 6.8 yards per completion.

Yeah, I don't think much of Williams.

You know it man. I’ve been advocating for Maas to go for ages now. He’s killing me.

I think Derek Taylor needs to realize he isn't on the Rider payroll anymore on Twitter.

He has open receivers downfield and chooses to dump it off for 5 yards. Reminds me of Nichols
