Mid Week Practice Alservations

they let me out once again! It's always nice to hit Alouettes practice on beautiful days and today was one of them.

-The practice was short maybe a an hour and 15 minutes total, it wasn't too humid and at a considerable ammount of time was spent working on the special teams.

-Calvillo was gloveless, but had his right index finger taped. he threw very sharp and direct short passes very well. I felt he missed on a couple longer throws to Brian Bratton and Jamel Richardson, but the coach seemed to feel different about when I asked him.

'I don't agree with that I thought he threw the ball very well the entire day'

Hey what do I know, I do know that coach Trestman knows QBs so lets side with him on this onl.

-#60 Andrew Woodruff took all the 1st unit snaps a Left guard, if he starts, that would make 3 LGs in 3 weeks.

-#31 Mark Estelle did not practice today but has been cleared to hit the field tomorrow, mor eon the CB position then.

-I spoke with 4 defensive players following the practice, Woldu, Wilson, Bowman and Guzman. the word 'Beast' came up on more than one occasion when defining Argo RB Cory Boyd.

-The last few practices I've noticed the Als implement some trickery, (ex: the KOR end around with Chip Cox vs Sask). Fake field goal, flee flickers and hook and ladders are all in play, apparently.

-Alot of people have been asking about KR\WR #0 Andrew Hawkins, I know our good friend HerbZ from The Gazette is on the case of the dissapearing twitter feed... make sure to read him this week www.alsinsideout.com and www.montrealgazette.com, or just pick up the paper.

-It's back on the road for the Als, they are 2-1 away from PMS.

The Tale of The Alouettes

The Tale of the Alouettes

By #39 Jerald Brown

“This is the Tale of the Alouettes
You have the offence, they’ll score many points
You have the defense, they’ll stop you from scoring many points
Then you’ll have the offence of the Als, that may not score as many as used to
And the defense will step up
Then you have the defense of the Als that will give up more points then used to
And the offence will step it up
Special teams have been the most consistent
We just find ways
We rally around each other
The offence down because they ain’t scoring and used to scoring
All we asked for is to support us
Because we got your backs
So support us, cause we support one another
That’s what makes us go”

--Aug 6th, 2010 McGill Stadium Locker Room--

Post Game Alservations: Down to the Wire

Well that was another doozy of a game. If the Alouettes and Riders meet up again in Edmonton come November I don't think anyone would be disappointed.

On to the Alservations...

-I've said it many times, but it deserves to be said again, Darian is a Superstar in the CFL.

-Coach Miller called Durant a bit off tonight, he was right. Sure he had 445 yards, but the two INTs were on him.

-The Pass interference calls on the Als were iffy at best tonight.

-Wes Cates single handily turned a 4 point game into a 14 point game with his 15 yard penalty at the end of the 2nd quarter.

-Tim Maypray has two MFG (name drop) returns this year against Saskatchewan.

-Anthony Calvillo's finger was still crooked in the post game interviews

-We all love Ben, but this is probably his last season in the CFL for the Hall of famer.

-Watching Jermaine McElveen makes one think Keron who?

-Does anyone know what makes Weston Dressler so good, is it his speed or size?

-2nd and long is still killing the Alouettes Defence, one can only wonder how long bend but don't break philosophy can work, well at least another, its the Argos next week.

-Calvillo had 229 passing yards in the 1st half, 23 in the 2nd.

-If you weren't at the game, it was LOUD on the field during the final series.

Als are back on the road next Saturday in Toronto
