Alouettes look to start second half of season right against Redblacks
MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes seem to follow every step forward with a leap backward. It’s a trend defensive John Bowman wants to see come to an end in the second half of the CFL season.
Nine games in, the 3-6 Alouettes are last in the East Division. Bowman wants to start Montreal’s second half right when the Ottawa Redblacks come to Percival Molson Stadium on Thursday.
“The difference between good and great is consistency,” said the veteran Bowman, who signed a new one-year deal with Montreal in February. “That’s what I pride myself on, trying to be consistent. We have to try to string out a couple of wins.”
The Alouettes have been anything but consistent this year. They’re a CFL-worst 1-4 at home and have yet to record back-to-back wins. Each of Montreal’s three victories this season was followed by a lopsided loss.
