Argonauts veteran pivot Ray eager to play under old foes Popp and Trestman
Ricky Ray has played a lot of big games in his career against teams run by Jim Popp and coached by Marc Trestman.
Now the 37-year-old quarterback will have the former Montreal Alouettes on his side as he enters his sixth campaign with the Toronto Argonauts and 15th in the CFL.
“I’m really excited about the direction of the team and the organization,” Ray said Tuesday as he joined Popp and Trestman on a pre-season conference call. “Just playing against Jim for so many years. Montreal was always one of the better teams in the league.
“I just admired the talent level of their teams and how successful they were. When Marc got there it was no different. They competed every year. They were so well-prepared, so well disciplined as a team and that led to a lot of their success.”
