    Montreal Alouettes Thread

    Former Alouette QB Troy Smith has been charged with DUI.

    Former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Troy Smith, who won the 2006 Heisman Trophy with Ohio State, has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence and marijuana possession.
    The 31-year-old Smith appeared in court Wednesday morning in Columbus, Ohio. He was stopped early Sunday in the Columbus suburb of Westerville when an officer noticed his SUV didn't have a front licence plate and was seen swerving. Smith failed a field sobriety test and later his blood alcohol content measured 0.143. Ohio's legal limit is 0.08.

    Former Al QB Tanner March is looking for a job but no one is calling.

    Released by the Alouettes during winter, quarterback Tanner Marsh quickly found employment. Drafted by the fledgling Major League Football — an eight-team spring league in the U.S. — Marsh was slated to join the franchise in Little Rock, Ark.But after the MLFB announced in March it was suspending operations until 2017, following the loss of a key investor, Marsh, 25 said he is growing more frustrated by the day, wondering what his football future holds.
    “This would have been a nice opportunity. I’m literally just sitting here, throwing for everybody that I possibly can.” Marsh told the Montreal Gazette on Wednesday from his home in Dallas.

    The Als have hired William Fields as Assistant DB coach.

    The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that the club has added William Fields to its coaching staff. The 37-year-old will tackle the roles of Assistant Defensive Backs Coach and Defensive Quality Control Coach.
    Fields, who played for six seasons in the CFL, made his coaching debut in the Canadian circuit in 2015 as he was the BC Lions Assistant Defensive Backs Coach and Defensive Quality Control Coach. The McKeesport, PA native saw his protégés finish tied for second place in the League with 23 interceptions, including a league-leading six that belonged to defensive back Ryan Philips.

    Surely he can't be surprised that nobody is interested. He is one of the worst QB's I've seen. Being able to run a QB sneak can only get you so many contracts.

    I love this quote from Marsh from that article:

    “It sucks because they forget all my good games because of one bad game,” Marsh said.

    If nothing else, gotta give him credit for having a lot of self-confidence.

    How many seasons on a CFL roster did this guy last, and how many playing time opportunities did he get ?

    No doubt. The fact Marsh lasted as long as he did is surprising. Dude was simply awful.

    Most (all?) of his playing time was due to their other QBs being injured. I doubt the Als saw him as anything more than a guy who did just enough in camp to not get cut.

    That says all you need to know about him.

    The Als have become the first Canadian professional sports team to go carbon neutral.

    The Alouettes have always made efforts to operate in a sustainable way; the Club had actively taken steps to reduce waste, increase recycling and energy efficiency, and was constantly looking at ways to reduce its environmental footprint. However, in 2008 the Alouettes launched their EnvironmentALS program, which formalized its plan of action and community engagement focusing on sustainability. This initiative has led to the Alouettes becoming the first ‘carbon neutral’ football team in the CFL – as well as the first professional sports franchise in Canada.

    It was a great come from behind victory, but Marsh turned over the ball 5-6 times IIRC. I was a big fan of his as I thought he had the skills and played the game the way Reilly plays (balls to the wall - all or nothing), but Tanner could never figure out how to stop turning the ball over - which lead to his demise.

    The Montreal Alouettes announced on Tuesday that the team has signed international receivers Mike Davis and Corbin Louks to two-year deals, while international linebacker Tevlon Clark signed a one-year deal with the club.

    Duron Carter may be back but he doesn't seem to have changed.

    Carter is talking up a storm when it comes to the topics of loyalty, regrets and of promise. He’s spinning like a top about being back in Montreal on both the football and civic levels, looking forward to living in Old Montreal and to having Nik Lewis as a teammate. Looking forward, as well, to once again playing for Alouettes head coach and general manager Jim Popp. The 2014 CFL All-Star is buzzing with anticipation as training camp pops up on the horizon and he is not giving regret a place to stay in his psyche.
    “Montreal gave me my first opportunity to play professional football and I will always remember that,” he says. “You can’t forget your roots.”
    “I love the city for real. It’s really progressive and forward and fresh. I love the food, I love the art galleries, the music festival… it’s just a really happening city.” ...

    After a year spent in the NFL, the 25-year-old receiver from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. is looking to reboot his CFL career in a fashion that resembles what it was in 2014. That’s when his tour of the friendly nation of Canada was in its second season, with Carter gathering in 75 passes for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns. It was a breakout year for him and it was a performance that drew plenty of interest south of the border. He eventually signed a contract with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.
    After a season on the Colts’ practice roster and being released in January, Carter quickly signed a deal with Montreal as opposed to taking a wait and see attitude over the remainder of the winter.


    “Jim Popp trusted in me when nobody would when he put me on the practice squad,” Carter says. “So, for me to come back and help the Alouettes and help Popp, it was a no-brainer.”
    “For me, it’s always about being comfortable and having people around that I can trust when they tell me something and that’s what’s gonna happen. I’ve always been able to trust Jim Popp.”
    If you perceive there might be a little shot at the Colts and the way business is done in the NFL with that last line, it’s an inference you’ll have to make without confirmation from Carter.

    Thumbs up to Carter for deciding to return to the CFL and play instead of another season on an NFL practice roster waiting for an opening to play if someone gets injured but probably still not start, just dress.

    I agree. He makes their receiving core way better, and SJ Green will also benefit as a result. Their receiving core looks a lot more dangerous this year with the return of Carter and Kenny Stafford. I can never count the Als out.

    The Als think they have found another talented receiver in Jerry Rice Jr. (yah - that Jerry Rice).

    One might say the Alouettes are stacked at receiver, and all of their top pass-catchers were in Florida this week to flash their skills catching passes from veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn. But one young receiver, a familiar name in football, turned heads this week and showed he could belong in the CFL: Jerry Rice Jr., the son of football’s all-time leading receiver.
    Rice Jr. spent 2014 with the NFL’s Washington Redskins before joining the Als’ practice roster in 2015, where he’ll now hope to take the same route Duron Carter took with the Als just a few years ago. He’s not known for his size, standing under six feet tall, but his athleticism stood out this week after making a number of electrifying big plays.
