Elks Defensive End Carney Chases Second Straight Grey Cup Ring Against Alouettes
Carney ranks second in the CFL with 11 sacks and will chase his second championship ring in as many seasons against his former Grey Cup opponent.
- On Sunday in Calgary, Edmonton Elks defensive end Malik Carney seeks his second consecutive Grey Cup championship against the Montreal Alouettes, the team he defeated last year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
- After the Roughriders declined to re-sign him, Carney enlisted his six-year-old daughter Myla to choose his next team; she selected the Elks logo, leading him to Edmonton.
- Under defensive coordinator J.C. Sherritt, the Edmonton defense led the CFL this season, allowing a league-best 338.6 net yards per game while forcing 53 turnovers.
- Carney and teammate Noah Taylor form a one-two pass-rushing threat facing an Alouettes offensive line that allowed a franchise-record low of 19 sacks this season.
- Elks head coach Mark Kilam dubbed Carney 'the alpha' of the defense, while Carney calls Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander a 'wild card' who creates explosive plays in and outside the pocket.
