Adams, Alouettes hope to keep momentum and take next step. MORE:
TSN’s Farhan Lalji and Dave Naylor take a closer look at the Montreal Alouettes in their series of team snapshots around the CFL.The big change for the Alouettes this off-season comes in the front office. Danny Maciocia, who had been coaching at the University of Montreal and is a former CFL head coach and GM, is now in the general manager’s chair. And they’re really just trying to keep the momentum going off a surprisingly strong 2019 regular season.
They signed quarterback Vernon Adams to a new contract this off-season and they concentrated on retaining their players. Montreal was not a big player in free agency, they had some salary cap issues left over from the previous administration. But they are looking to keep going where they left off last season.In terms of on-field changes I think the biggest one is replacing William Stanback, who is gone to the NFL.
But like so many other quarterbacks we’ve talked about already, you can’t be a one-hit wonder. It’s always more difficult the second time around and if he can take that next step, Adams has a chance to be a star in this league and the Alouettes have a chance to be a contender.
