MFG CFL Pick'em Win'em standings thru 14 weeks

I haven't thrown an update out in awhile.
It is tight. 11 within 3 games. With only 4 of us going over .500 last week it's revenge week. I see some choices changing.
Can the East win a game?

Battle of Kicks

As our good friend Herb Z from the Gazette pointed out to on Tuesday. The Alouettes will have to play week 15 against Calgary without Kicker Damon Duval who has a Hamstring injury.

Two Kickers are trying out for the gig this week at practice.
Colt David, Alouettes fans remember him from pre-season fame in Winnipeg.
Amd Sam Swank who was recently cut from the New York football Giants.

If Duval is out long term I can see this being an issue, but for one week, why don't we just call this fun. As a former football Kicker myself, I should have thrown my name in the hat for Coach Trestman, I used to be gold form 42 yards in. Now I'm getting off topic.

Special teams are so important in the CFL game 1/3 of the plays, so whoever wins will have an impact on the Alouettes ability to beat the top team in the league on monday.

Why Montreal should beat Calgary

First a quick apology to the readers, it's been awhile. I'm Sorry.

Now that that is out of the way, on to business at hand.

The Montreal Alouettes versus the Calgary Stampeders.

I love the revenge week, I love that the CFL has set it up that you play the same opponent this late into the season back to back in a home and home. The Als of course lost game one on the road, but there are many reasons why the Alouettes should win game two on Thanksgiving Monday.

1- The Als with Anthony Calvillo under centre are still perfect at Percival Molson Stadium over the last two seasons.

2-Despite Injuries to veterans (Watkins, Lambert) the Als have capable back-ups that have experience. They are not completely fresh.

3-Whenever the Als defence gave up 20 or more points two weeks straight, this season they've held their opposition to under 18 points in the next game.

4-The team won't spoil Ben Cahoon's record breaking day, He'll catch 4. Probably a TD too

5- Coach Trestman will make adjustments a) cause he lost b)because of injury, Hufnagel will not because plan A worked.

6-Henry Burris has'nt been consistant all season long, he's thrown a league high 16 INTS, the Als already have picked off 17 passes.

I could make a case on why The Stamps should win this game however, we'll save that for another day.

Catching up with AC

Had the opportunity to chat with Anthony Calvillo today to see how his injury is progressing.

-As we all know is is targetting the September 11th match-up versus hamilton as his return date.
-He is not playing because he and the doctors do not know what would appen to his ribs/sternum if he gets hit again.
-He has been throwing on the side, however he has yet to really plant and step into a throw.
-Still has an issue when taking deep breathes
-exoects to practice fully on next Tuesday, if he does, expect him to play.
-Anyone that blames Scott flory for his injury, doesnèt understand the Als blocking scheme
-Age has nothing to do wth his injuries this season
-He is excited to see how Chris Leak plays
-He realizes that this is a great opportunity for him to practice and work with the number 1 unit, becaus ehe doesnt get that chance normally.
-expects the team to rally around Leak

the whole interview will be played on The Tieman Show thursday between 1pm-3pm eastern www.team990.com
