THE CANADIAN PRESS
Hello there, Edmonton Eskimos. Can I have a word with you, Chris Jones, just for a sec? At first, I thought you were nuts for putting a quarterback on special teams but now I’m all flip-flopped on it. Do NOT put Jordan Lynch in at quarterback any more. I mean, you wanna risk getting your best special teams tackler hurt? I can’t believe I just wrote that.
Here are the takeaways.
1) This Henoc Muamba kid’s gonna be alright.
Welcome back, Henoc. The Montreal Alouettes’ middle linebacker made his debut with his new team against the Argos on Monday and treated the CFL game like we all treat riding a bike. Should come as no surprise to anyone that the 26-year-old fit in right away, tallying five tackles and smoothly ducking in front of receiver Tori Gurley, in the second quarter, to pluck an interception. It is arguable as to who was more comfortable on Monday: Muamba, or you, reclining on your couch with the aroma of turkey tickling your nostrils. For all who wondered what the fuss was all about when Muamba was making the rounds before signing – THAT is what all the fuss was all about.
2) If Manny Arceneaux wants you to sit down, you’re gonna sit down.
