The task is simple. Stay healthy, stay sharp.
The Montreal Alouettes have three regular season games remaining, tonight versus Hamilton, then a home and home with Toronto. Montreal will face either of those Teams at home in the East final.
This is a scenerio that the Als have faced the last three seasons under Marc Trestman. Who should play and how much? The Als would like to stay sharp and make sure their offence and defence are both hitting their stride by the end of November. However they'd like to do so with a their A line-up healthy.
The ultimate prize for the Alouettes is to lift the Grey Cup in Alberta for the second straight year, but they would be able to do so without their prized possession, Anthony Calvillo.
This year has ben full of 'scares' with knee, finger and rib issues when it comes to their star Quarterback. I expect Calvillo to play this week and next, alot. But if I were the coach I'd have a protection game plan in place.
-Not one play, none, would have less than six blockers.
-If there is a blitz, ground the ball.
-Hand off the ball 70% of the time.
The Als can lose all three games and as long as AC wasn't touched, you can call that sucessful.
Do I expect that to happen, no I'm not the coach. But it is a suggestion.
