MONTREAL ALOUETTES 2009 one of Canadian Football League’s Best
Over the years I have made all sorts of teams and leagues, one of which was the CFL. The Montreal Alouettes, and are considered one of the CFL’s greatest. Montreal finished the regular season with a15-3 record and won the Gray Cup-CFL Title. The team scored 600 points, (1st in the League) and gave up 324 points (1st in defense) in the League. The Alouettes was lead by Anthony Calvillo the greatest QB in Pro Football CFL and history and one of the best in any Pro Football league. Calvillo lifetime had 9.437 attempts, 5,892 completions for a 62.4% Pct. with a world record of 79,816 yards which included 455 TD passes. Rushing wise (in the CFL the QB is considered as one of the runners), Calvillo had 3.658 yards rushing for a 5.4 Avg., 34 TDs and a long run of 53 yards.
In 2009 Anthony Calvillo (5) completed 72.0% for 4639 yards, 26 TDs, 6 Int. while rushing for 198 yards anda 6.2 average.
His partial passing numbers for the 6-1, 197 lb. graduate of Utah State USA was one 2, two 3’s, one 5 and two 6’s. with 15.5 other completions. Running numbers were: six 15s and one 2.
Aaron Cobourne (4) had 1214 yards rushing for a 5.4 average with 56 receptions for 458 yards. five 15’s, 2 K’s and four 16’s. He is 5-8, 209 lb. and played at West Virginia in college.
Brian Bratton (2) received 58 passes for 613 yards is 5-10, 186 lbs and played college at Furman.
Ben Cahoon (5) wide receiver had 89 receptions for 1031 yards. Ben is 5-9 and weighed 179 lbs. playing college ball for BYU.
Kerry Watkins (4) wide receiver was 4/3 master game caught 81 passes for 1242 yards and weighed in at 189 at 5-11 and played college ball at Georgia Tech.
Jamel Richardson Tight End (4) caught 85 passes for 1055 yards and weighed 215 lbs at 6-3 and played college ball for Victor Valley College.
WHEN playing CFL teams a 12th man must be used on offense and defense- Larry Taylor was that man with 7 receptions, but also was the return man for punts and kickoffs. Punts has to be returned in CFL, no fair catch. Taylor is 5-6, 177 lbs. and played for Connecticut University in college.
Offensive line had Bryan Chiu (C-4) 6-2, 287, Washington State, Scott Flory (G-5) 6-4, 290, Saskatchewan UIniversity, Paul Lambert (G-2) (V:3/2) 6-4, 295, Western Michigan, Josh Bourke (T-4) 6-7, 315, Grand Valley State and Jeff Perrett (T-2) 6-7, 320, Tulsa.
Defense: Matt Proulx SS(4) 6-0, 202, Laval; Jerald Brown FS(3) 5-11, 185, Glennville State (WV); Mark Estelle (CB-4) 5-9, 180, Utah State; Davis Sanchez (CB-3) 5-10, 190 Oregon, WHEN playing in CFL a 12th defender must be used-Billy Parker FS(3) 6-0, 195, William & Mary, Shea Emry (MLB-3) 6-1, 235, UBC, Chip Cox ( OLB-4) 5-9, 194, Ohio, Diamond Ferri (OLB-3) 5-10, 223, UBC, Eric Wilson (T-3) 6-4, 290, Michigan, Kenon Williams (T-4) 6-1, 265, Massachusetts, John Bowman (E-4) 6-3, 255, Wingate and Anwar Stewart (E-5) 6-3, 245, Kentucky.
The CFL has some amazing rules, a kickoff for a TB is a point for the kicking team, each team has 3 downs to get a first down, the football field is 110 yards long.
In the past when USA pro team would play the CFL, each half would follow the rules of the other league.
Game 9. New York at Denver
Scoring Rule – Illegal Tackle
Q – RP 14:2
Kickoff returner is tackled by someone not on the field – awarded TD – does the entire return yardage get credited to the returner?
A – You can never be awarded a touchdown via penalty. So, if in the opinion of the officials, the returner would have scored if not for the illegal substitution and subsequent tackle, and he is awarded a touchdown, he is credited with all the return yardage . . . and the player coming off the bench would most likely be disqualified for a flagrant and dangerous action.
Kansas City 31 – San Diego 21
San Diego – Kansas City Recap Sheet
In the first of the quarter-final games of my 2016 tournament, the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the San Diego Chargers 31-21 to advance to the AFC Championship Game. And, they did it primarily with defense. In the first half, Charger quarterback Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, the most costly was returned by Kansas City’s Derrick Johnson 89 yards for a touchdown.
But, even though the Chiefs held a commanding 17-0 halftime lead, Rives and the Chargers battled back. In the second half he threw for two TD’s and ran for another to bring San Diego within three points with 2:45 left.
A failed onside kick coupled with a couple of big Kansas City plays, culminating in Spencer Ware’s second touchdown run of the game, sealed the deal for the Chiefs, who now face the winner of the Pittsburgh-New England contest for the AFC title.
Dallas 23 – NY Giants 20
Dallas – NY Giants Recap Sheet
After six games, the Cowboys were 2-4 and looking at a dismal 2016 campaign. But, since then they have won seven straight and have run their record to 9-4! Their latest victory was against the New York Giants in the Meadowlands 23-20. Dallas got a couple of big plays – a long 57 yard field goal by Dan Bailey at the end of the first half, and then a huge Brandon Carr interception of an Eli Manning pass in the third quarter at the Dallas goal line.
New York made it interesting, though, when Odell Beckham hauled in a 96 yard touchdown pass from Manning with 4:00 left to play in the game, knotting the score at 20-20. Bailey, though, kicked a field goal with 30 seconds left in the game to give Dallas the lead . . . . but, Manning wasn’t done – he drove New York to the Dallas 32 yard line in 23 seconds . . . but Giants’ kicker, Josh Brown, missed a 50-yarder on the last play of the game to give the ‘Boys the win.
