Canadian Mathieu Betts powers B.C. Lions pass rush
CFL offences are getting a break from Canadian Mathieu Betts and the B.C. Lions defence.
“Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this after five games but I’m grateful for it,” Betts said. “I think it reflects the hard work we’ve been putting in since 2022 [Ryan Phillips’ first year as defensive co-ordinator]. Defensive tackle Woody Baron came up huge against Montreal. The former Alouette blocked David Cote’s field-goal try in the second quarter that Jalon Edwards-Cooper returned 63 yards for the touchdown.“That was a big momentum shift,” Betts said. “It was a 10-point swing and the game-changing play.”
Hall of Famer Brent Johnson, of Kingston, Ont., another former Lion, led in 2005 and 2006 . He was the CFL’s top Canadian both seasons and also its outstanding defensive player in ‘06.“To have success in the CFL, or pretty much anywhere, you must be where your feet are and just focus on one game at a time,” he said. “This week, my main focus is to relax and get my mind off football.
“Absolutely, it’s that simple,” he said. “I feel great physically and mentally but from a football standpoint I think it’s more my vision of the field, understanding blocking schemes and what offences are trying to do and where I can win within our scheme to apply pressure on the quarterback.Betts, 28, of Montreal, had a brilliant collegiate career at Laval. He was Canadian university football’s top rookie in 2015 before claiming the J.P.
“But ultimately I was very happy to be back with the B.C. Lions. Who knows what’s going to happen with my football career? But it’s definitely not something I worry about at all.”
