Game two is in the books, and for an Als that is the reigning Grey Cup Champ, there is still alot of work to do.
Very sloppy affair against the Eskimos, however winning on the road is not easy for the Als in Edmonton or BC therefore a win is a win is a win.
-The Als defense is taking too many chances early on in the season, and teams are taking notice by going deep.
-When you tug on a jersey, the refs notice.
-Round of applause for the Campbell and Stamps drops, Als fans better give them a hand, cause the Als D needed the boost.
-Taking chances works sometimes, #39 with a solid INT that changed the pace of the game, that was not pass intereference, he wanted the ball more.
-INTs at the end of the half shouldn't count in stats.
-Als D-line need to pick up their game, at least they get to see Keron Williams next week. Purolator wants more sacks, so does Tim Burke.
-I'm still not worried about #6 Cobourne. He looked good... when he got the ball.
-2nd consecutive game the Als Safety leads in tackles, #22 Boulay looked great, But you rather a LB lead the way.
-Speaking of #22, Great athletic play on his INT.
-Way too many flogs for me to enjoy this game, ugly on all three sides.
-1 rec from #85 Bratton & 0 from #19 SJ is not enough.
-From long week to short week, Als play in BC on friday, I like that Coach Trestman and the gang are staying out west. He gets a great ol' fist pump for that.

Bouncing Back and Radio Notes
The long wait between games continues for the Montreal Alouettes after their season opening loss to The Riders. It'll be a third straight day of being off the field for the Als on Tuesday.
Don't think the Als haven't been watching the film of the loss, they have. What will they see?
-Poor Tackling
-loose coverage
-tired bodies
-and some nice tosses by Darian Durant
The Als defense will bounce back. This is pretty much the same group that stymied the CFL last year. The Als were up by 21 points in the 3rd quarter, then they got tired. They still have the skill. However they will have another big test as the Als secondary will have to deal with Ricky Ray. Ray has one of the best arms in the CFL. However the Esks Receiving core is nowhere close to the talent that the Als and Riders have.
The Als Defense will have to move forward for a couple weeks without Diamond Ferri for a couple weeks with a shoulder injury, plus Mark Estelle may not be ready to go with a Hamstring. Look for Ramon Guzman and De'Audra Dix to replace.
