Both coaches talked about the road ahead for the 103rd Grey Cup on Sunday. From strategies, to game line ups, the coaches chatted about the player’s mindset when prepping for the big game.
Jones praised his players for big performances in the second half of the season, without starting quarterback Mike Reilly to get the Eskimos to the championship game.
Campbell said his team’s biggest challenge is still to come.
“It’s the final run to the finish line,” said Campbell. “But the recipe for winning does not stay the same. There is a big difference between winning the Grey Cup and losing the Grey Cup. We’re keeping our blinders on and staying focused.”
