The Montreal Alouettes are at a crossroads after a turbulent offseason that saw Johnny Manziel released and head coach Mike Sherman dismissed. In this mailbag episode, hosts Kelly and Gary answer fan questions about the quarterback situation, roster overhaul, and the future of the franchise following a 5-13 season. The episode was recorded in the aftermath of the CFL's decision to ban Manziel, a move that impacts the team's trade options but also provides a clean break.
Kelly and Gary dive deep into the quarterback battle, noting that no one on the current roster has proven they can start, and debate whether to develop a young arm or bring in a veteran bridge. They also analyze the offensive line's struggles, highlighted by Manziel being sacked five times in a single game against Winnipeg, and stress the need to rebuild that unit. The receiving corps gets attention too, with the 61-yard trick play touchdown from Geno Lewis to George Johnson cited as a bright spot. Fan questions also cover whether to trade for a veteran or draft a rookie, and what qualities the new coach and GM should possess. The episode closes with a fun hypothetical: which former Alouette in their prime would fix the team? Gary picks quarterback Anthony Calvillo, while Kelly chooses receiver Ben Cahoon. They also share best-case and worst-case scenarios for the upcoming season.
This episode is a must-listen for Alouettes fans, CFL enthusiasts, and anyone following the Johnny Manziel saga.
