James Morgan, the quarterback, expresses a sense of being criticized or targeted following his second appearance in the game.
Montreal Alouettes Face Hamilton Tiger-Cats for East Division Leadership
The Montreal Alouettes are gearing up for a crucial match against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this Saturday at Percival Molson Stadium. With a win, the Alouettes could clinch first place in the East Division. However, the defense, currently last in the CFL when the opposing team reaches their 20-yard line, poses a significant challenge.
Defensive Coordinator Noel Thorpe acknowledges the issues, admitting it's an execution problem for the Alouettes' defense. Head coach Jason Maas echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the need for the team to execute more plays than the opponent. When the opponent is near the Alouettes' end zone, the team must either force a turnover or limit them to a field goal.
To improve the defense, Thorpe believes it's a team effort. He stresses the importance of Noel Thorpe leading the players better to strengthen the defensive line. The team's performance over the last few weeks has shown improvement, but it hasn't yet met its standard.
On the offensive side, quarterback James Morgan is preparing meticulously for his second career start. Morgan, known for his hard work, spends extra time preparing for games, including filming his personal sessions and studying them to ensure his technique is always on point. Having a full week of practice for this game provides him with more repetitions, allowing him to store more information and develop more automatisms for the game.
In his first career start in the CFL, Morgan completed 18 out of 33 passes for 198 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Despite the room for improvement, his dedication and preparation have not gone unnoticed. He is one of the hardest working players in the league.
Several injured players, including Austin Mack, Tyson Philpot, Sean Thomas Erlington, and David Dallaire, will support Morgan in his second career start. Their presence is expected to bolster the team's morale and performance.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who have lost three games in a row, including a dramatic loss to the Toronto Argonauts on Monday, will undoubtedly present a formidable challenge. However, with the Alouettes' determination and Morgan's relentless preparation, the team is ready to fight for the top spot in the East Division.
