Season Preview: Montreal Alouettes
The Montreal Alouettes have done everything right the last few seasons and seem to have dominated the east for the past 10 years. Even with an aging Anthony Calvio the Als seem poised and ready to be in another Grey Cup battle. I think that Montreal will have a great season but with the long [...]

Montreal ready for Ticats
Courtesy Globe and Mail: They’ve rolled to a 9-2 record on the season and bestride the CFL, but the Montreal Alouettes can’t quite bring themselves to be content. There are niggling problems with offensive consistency, and their league-leading defence has shown occasional signs of fraying. Which may explain the attitude heading into the final stretch [...]

Emry loves the big hit
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: Montreal In his first season as a starter on the Alouettes’ defence, Shea Emry quickly is gaining a reputation as one of the Canadian Football League’s fiercest hitters. “So be it,” said the native of Richmond, B.C. “I’m a middle linebacker.” Two months ago, Emry knocked Hamilton quarterback Quinton Porter out [...]

Santos dealt to Bombers
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: Ricky Santos was superb in college, but his professional career had reached a dead end with the Alouettes; a fourth-string quarterback not about to play behind Anthony Calvillo, Adrian McPherson and Chris Leak. But now, following his trade to Winnipeg, Santos gets a new lease on life. In exchange for Santos, as [...]

Als blow out Bombers 33-14
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: The Alouettes continue being powered by their defence while their offence performs sporadically and searches for an identity. Montreal allowed an early Winnipeg touchdown Sunday afternoon at Molson Stadium, and then kept the Blue Bombers off the scoreboard until early in the fourth quarter. The result was a methodical 33-14 victory before [...]

Als not worried about Cahoon
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: We’d like to tell you Ben Cahoon has lost a step – but the ageless Alouettes slotback never was the fastest guy on the field. We’d like to suggest something juicy to help sell newspapers, such as a personal feud between Cahoon and quarterback Anthony Calvillo. But except for the fact Cahoon [...]

Last minute comeback win for Als vs Lions
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: They couldn’t take this touchdown away from Avon Cobourne. Cobourne’s 12-yard scoring run at 14:10 of the fourth quarter carried the Alouettes to a dramatic 28-24 come-from-behind victory against the British Columbia Lions Sunday afternoon before the usual capacity 20,202 Molson Stadium spectators. Cobourne, of course, believed he scored last week, at [...]

CFL dismisses Als protest
Courtesy Vancouver Province: The Canadian Football League on Wednesday dismissed a protest from the Alouettes concerning an error made by officials in the fourth quarter of last Friday’s game against the B.C. Lions in Vancouver. The Als were forced to run a play from the Lions’ eight-yard line three three times. Cobourne scored on one [...]

Als left shaking heads
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: It appears Avon Cobourne’s late TD that was disallowed wasn’t the only transgression the Alouettes were forced to deal with last Friday against British Columbia. On the game’s second play, after a 55-yard reception by Jamel Richardson, Kerry Watkins fumbled at the Lions’ 12. Anton McKenzie forced the fumble that was recovered [...]

Courtesy Globe and Mail: The Montreal Alouettes yesterday filed an official protest with the CFL over a disallowed touchdown in their 19-12 loss to the B.C. Lions last Friday in Vancouver. Montreal tailback Avon Cobourne appeared to score on an eight-yard run with less than one minute remaining in the game before Murray Clarke’s officiating [...]
