The Montreal Alouettes look to stay within reach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers atop the East Division as The Blue and Gold beat the Ti-Cats last night. The Als are in Calgary today for a big battle after the bye week. Here's what to watch.
-Perry Floyd will be making his Montreal debut at the KR postition as Tim Maypray is still recovering from his ankle injury. I'm sure Coach Trestman will have ashort lease when it comes to fumbles. If it becomes an issue look for Brian Bratton and brandon Whitaker to start receiving kicks.
-Diamond Ferri's agressiveness will be missed, but Greg Laybourn enthusiam should be able to fill the void as he'll make his Als debut at Linebacker.
-Jermaine McElveen is still not ready to go with his knee but JP Bekasiak is healthy and another canadian returns to the line-up. The pass attack will be lead by Moton Hopkins and John Bowman as they are thriving to get to Henry Burris.
-Ont the road it'll be vital to get Whitaker his touches early so that the Stampeders blitzes will have to watch #2 throughout the game.
-That Blitz will want to occupy Whitaker in blocking and not allow him to get into the flats for a pass reception. Whitaker has become Calvillo's safety.
-Calvillo had 10 TD passes in the first 3 weeks, he only has 4 in his last 4 weeks.
-The Als DB's will be tested on their tackling ability today, especially with Nik Lewis. He's tough and strong and hard to bring down.
-it'll be warm and pretty much no wind in calgary look for points to be put up on the board.
As for predictions, I'll go with the hometown cowboys in the Stamps as they have already lost 2 at McMahon Stadium. But I expect close and fun ballgame with the over 42-38 Calgary.
