CALGARY -- Malik Carney knows what it's like to win a Grey Cup, and he's looking to use that experience to his advantage heading into Sunday's 113th Grey Cup.
"Not nervous at all," Carney said Saturday during a media conference following walkthroughs at McMahon Stadium. "I've been here before. I know what it takes. I know what I have to do."
Carney isn't just feeling comfortable heading into the championship game, he's also very confident in how he and the Edmonton Elks' defence match up against the Montreal Alouettes' offence.
"I'm extremely confident. Not only in myself but in my whole defence. Guys fly around, fearless, physical, and that's how we play each and every play," Carney added.
Edmonton led the CFL in points allowed (437), and turnovers forced (42), this regular season while ranking third in sacks (40). Carney contributed 11 of those, finishing second in the league in that category.
The West Division All-CFL defensive end will look to defeat Davis Alexander and the Alouettes in a second straight Grey Cup on Sunday night at McMahon Stadium in Calgary.
Kickoff for the 113th Grey Cup is set for 6:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. ABT and can be watched on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, CTV, Crave, RDS, DAZN and CFL+.
