Edmonton Elks look to avoid turning ball over against opportunistic Montreal Alouettes
The Edmonton Elks’ mistake-filled fourth quarter transformed what looked to be a dream home opener into a nightmare.
“We’re light-years ahead of where we were last year,” said Als wideout Tyson Philpot, who logged 141 receiving yards and caught two touchdown passes last week. “The coaches see that. The players feel that, too.” Elks head coach and general manager Chris Jones knows that the Als have a reputation for turning fumbles and interceptions into touchdowns. So, turnovers are something Edmonton will have to clean up.
Edmonton will get a boost as veteran defensive back Louchez Purifoy is good to go this week after missing the opener due to illness. Meanwhile, Montreal faces a trio of key injuries with defensive back Reggie Stubblefield, wide receiver Tyler Snead and linebacker Tyrell Richards on the six-game injured list. The Alouettes announced Tuesday that Stubblefield is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.“You’ve got to have amnesia,” said Elks wide receiver Eugene Lewis.
