Ray Drew had done, witnessing the wide eyes of the staff of the Alouettes last year. But this season, he has not been able to offer the same performance. This is why montreal was cut off on Monday.

“This is a guy who had shown a lot of potential in the end of the season last year. We wish that he continues to give us as much, ” admitted the head coach of the Alouettes, Jacques Chapdelaine, the training of his own, a Tuesday. At the beginning of the season, we were not able to play because of the way we were structured at the level of the ratio of us players and canadians. When we have been able to insert it in the formation in Winnipeg, before the break, I have to admit that we have not got what we wanted from her. “

It is also because the Alouettes had a replacement ready to be inserted in the training that they were able to do this transaction.

“We have a young man in Avon’s Walls, which impressed us so far. It was so simply made a change. “

Walls, a giant six-foot-five, 290 pounds, moved up here on the training workout. The tackler 26-year-old should be inserted to the regular training for the match on Thursday, against the Red and Black of Ottawa.

“The important thing is the level of the defensive line, it is the energy that you can bring, how you can stop or put pressure on the flow of offensive, stressed Chapdelaine. It takes a certain power to do it and we see it’s Walls currently. I look forward to seeing him play. “

Jovan Olafioye, who has not played in the second half of game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, last week, has taken more reps in practice Tuesday. Even if he shared the work with Chris Greaves, Chapdelaine is expected that the star player, victims of muscle spasms against the Bombers, either to his or her position Thursday.

“Jovan, it’s going well, he said. It is a transition to a return to the game. I wanted to see what he could do. “

Sean Jamieson, offensive lineman currently in training, club training, is also practiced with the first unit.

“With the injury to Matt Vonk, we want to ensure that everyone is ready. We don’t want to end up in a bad position if you must use them, ” said Chapdelaine.
