ONE of the men responsible for shutting down the Montreal Alouettes offence — including one of the key components of that attack — had an explanation as to why it played out that way.

The Bombers secondary held the Als to just a pair of touchdowns and a load of frustration in Winnipeg’s 25-23 win last Sunday. Defensive back Alex Suber offered his take on why some members of the Montreal receiving corps — specifically Jamel Richardson — were visibly irritated throughout the game.

“Maybe they weren’t used to being covered that well, I don’t know,” he said with a wry grin Tuesday.

Suber was being cheeky, of course, but his fourth-quarter play on Richardson was one of many defensive highlights for the Bombers that afternoon. He said there was a lot of trash talking between the teams as the game went on — a sign that things should be just as intense when the two clubs meet at Canad Inns Stadium at the end of the month.

TICKET TRANSFER: The Winnipeg Football Club is expected to unveil today a plan for moving season ticket holders into the new stadium at the University of Manitoba next summer.

The club will try to put existing longtime season-ticket holders into seats comparable to the ones they have now. The club is also planning to unveil some of the new amenities in the new 33,000-seat facility this morning.

BACK TO WORK: After two days off, the Bombers will be back to the practice field morning. Among those who could be back to full workout: Defensive back Johnny Sears, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the pre-season.

Winnipeg (8-3) takes on the Toronto Argonauts (2-9) in Toronto Saturday.
