MONTREAL — Cody Fajardo knows watching the Grey Cup banner rise at Molson Stadium will stir up his emotions. But deep down, the Montreal Alouettes quarterback has one thing on his mind heading into the unveiling: winning a football game.
MONTREAL — Cody Fajardo knows watching the Grey Cup banner rise at Molson Stadium will stir up his emotions.
"I'll probably get chills, might get a little emotional,” Fajardo said Wednesday. “But to tell you the truth, once the ball's kicked, it's football at the end of the day. “Seeing the banner lift will be an incredible feeling for the guys that were here last year,” he said. “For the guys that are coming in new, just to see that and feel a part of this … this is a glimpse for them to understand that this is reality. This can be reality.
Coming off a bye in Week 1, Ottawa opened the season with a 23-19 victory against Winnipeg at TD Place last week. The Redblacks’ defence limited the Bombers to a measly 42 rushing yards and forced quarterback Zach Collaros into two interceptions on an inefficient night. “Everyone was thinking Dru versus his old team, but that's not how Dru would approach it. Dru would approach it as an opportunity to win a game for the Redblacks, didn't make a difference who he was playing.”
"It's a great test for us,” Brown said. “When you're going into a road game it's pretty much a you-against-the-world type of feeling and we got to kind of let that fire burn from that.In what will be the 27-year-old Brown’s fifth CFL start, Montreal safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy hopes the Alouettes can hand him his first loss in a Redblacks jersey.
