Alouettes linebacker Tyrice Beverette using awards snub as motivation this season
This isn't Tyrice Beverette 's first trip back to Hamilton. But the Alouettes linebacker admits some wounds take longer to heal. Article content 'We definitely have some history,' Beverette told The Gazette. 'Had some good experiences and had some negative ones. At the end of the day, it was part of the journey. I definitely mark the game on my calendar. I said that when I first left and I say it now. It gives me more to look forward to.' Article content Article content Article content While the Tiger-Cats' management has changed over the years, it was Hamilton where Beverette launched his CFL career in 2019. And it was management that decided Beverette was best suited to playing special teams, almost exclusively, for two seasons before he signed with Montreal as a free agent. Article content Article content Now a standout on the boundary side of the field, the 30-year-old veteran was the East Division nominee last season as most outstanding defensive player — an award he lost to Saskatchewan's Rolan Milligan Jr. If Montreal's loss to Toronto in last November's division final is motivating Beverette this season, so too was having been deprived of an award he felt was justifiably his. Article content 'I'd be lying if I didn't say that motivated me a lot,' Beverette said. 'Going in, I thought I had a great chance of winning. Any player, that's their dream to win it. You go and play your heart out. You hear from other players who think you deserve it. I've used it as motivation. Since college I've been getting the short end of the stick when it came to awards. I told myself this year not to make it any question. Do everything possible to get that award. But the team goal obviously is to win a Grey Cup.' Article content Article content Heading into Friday night's game at Tim Hortons Field (7:30 p.m., TSN1, TSN4, RDS, TSN Radio-690, 98.5 FM), Beverette's off to an excellent start. Through three games, the 6-foot-1, 205 pounder has 14 tackles, a sack, forced fumble and interception. The Als (3-0) also are off to their usual quick start, having outscored opponents 105-56. Article content But as expected, the Als will be without starting quarterback Davis Alexander, who suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter last week at Edmonton. He'll be replaced by veteran McLeod Bethel-Thompson, making his first career start for Montreal. Also missing are injured receiver Austin Mack and defensive-tackle Dylan Wynn. The Ticats (0-2) are coming off a bye week in the schedule — as were the Elks last Thursday.
