Could Vince Young ever play for the Montreal Alouettes?
With the Montreal Alouettes adding free agent NFL quarterback Vince Young to their negotiation list. Could the former Texas Longhorn star make his way up to Canada?The answer to this question will not be known for a while. For starters, the Alouettes are well stocked with quarterbacks on their roster. Do they want to risk releasing one of their backups who they've invested time in for a player with no CFL experience?
For Young to potentially join the organization it could bring unwanted attention for the mercurial star. It would be a dramatic fall from grace for a player who went from being third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, to being on the cover of the Madden video game, to now playing football in Canada. Most importantly, it would take some time for Young to immerse himself into the Canadian game.
Keep in-mind, that the CFL negotiation list is ever changing like gas prices. The Alouettes could have done this to protect themselves from another CFL team adding Young. Considering that this list is kept under wraps, they could very well delete him at anytime without the announcement ever going public.
Most certainly Young will continue to explore his NFL options before ever considering venturing up to the CFL to continue on with his professional football career.
For now it has brought some attention to the Alouettes, and Young on a potential marriage in the future.

The Montreal Alouettes sign former LSU star Jordan Jefferson to their practice roster
The Montreal Alouettes have added former LSU Tigers quarterback Jordan Jefferson to their practice roster.Jefferson would be best remembered for being apart of LSU 2011 undefeated regular season that ended up losing 21-0 to their SEC rival Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS title game this past January.
During his four years in Baton Rouge, Jefferson split time with various quarterbacks. However, his career was somewhat tarnhished due to an off the field incident with law. Prior to the 2011 season, Jefferson was arrested for allegedly being involved in a local bar room fight.
As a result, Jefferson missed the first half of LSU's football schedule until the grand jury reduced the charges. As soon as he was reinstated to join his teammates, he had an impact with his mobility in the Tigers first encounter with the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa.
The one obvious glare about Jefferson's quarterback skills is his lack of accuracy. His career average was 56.8 percent. His ability to process a defense and make the correct reads was not a strong point for him, as he tended to rely on his legs when the passing pocket collapsed.
In the title game versus the Crimson Tide, Jefferson passed for a paltry 53 yards, and was swallowed up for 15 yards on 14 carries by a ferocious Alabama defense when he tried running with the football.
Many LSU fans, and media members questioned Tigers head coach Les Miles for not pulling Jefferson for Jarrett Lee at halftime after it was obvious the Tigers offense was stuck in park.
Jefferson has incredible athletic ability but for him to potentially crack this Alouettes roster it will require patience, and an ability to improve on his passing skills. This is a long term project for the Alouettes, and most likely Jefferson will not see the field this season considering the depth they have the quarterback position.

First half thoughts on the Montreal Alouettes 2012 football season
As the Montreal Alouettes enjoy their bye week, they can take the Toronto Argonauts loss to the B.C. Lions as an indirect victory in the division standings.For now the Alouettes have made up the lost ground to the Argonauts by having identical 3-3 records.
As the Alouettes will reconvene towards the end of the week in preparation for their road game versus the Edmonton Eskimos. This will mark the beginning of a 12 week odyssey of games for a team still trying to find its identity.
Let takes a look at the good and bad during the first half of season
The positives
They should be commended for not allowing the traveling obstacles be an excuse in preparing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. From the sound of the whistle, they came out and controlled the tempo of the football game. The Alouettes had the Blue Bombers in chase mode, and the home team could not keep up with visitors.
Had the Alouettes lost last Friday night, the sirens would have gone off with the fans that would have demanded changes to the roster.
However, this victory could signal that things are slowly turning towards the right direction with their best overall performance.
2-Way is the only way
It is has been abundantly clear that running back Brandon Whitaker needs to be more involved in the offense. In the two games that he has 20 plus touches, the Alouettes have a 2-0 record. In games where he has less than 20 touches, they're 1-3.
Whitaker is an under appreciated talent. But when he is involved, he is arguably the toughest player to stop on the football field. Clearly versus the Blue Bombers they had no answer in stopping the man they call "2-Way".
Optimus Prime is transforming
At the beginning of training camp, there was talk of Jamel Richardson potentially reaching 2,000 receiving yards. However, he got off to a slow start, and that lofty goal maybe out of reach.
But history has shown, besides the 2011 season, Richardson is a slow starter out of the gates and elevates his game by middle of the season.
Furthermore, with him attracting extra attention from the opposing defenses, it has enable the likes of Brian Bratton, and Brandon London to benefit statistically on the football field.
As the Alouettes embark on 12 straight football games, they will need their leader to flex his dominance which he showed against the Blue Bombers with two touchdown receptions.
Potential negative
The offensive line takes great pride in protecting quarterback Anthony Calvillo. However, this year there have been cracks in their protection schemes that has resulted in Calvillo taking some unwanted hits.
If the Alouettes are to make it to the Grey Cup, they will need the front five to play at their best in protecting their quarterback. Otherwise, Calvillo will not survive the 12 straight games they will play until the end of the regular season.
The negative
There was a lot of groaning among the Alouettes fans on lack of defense displayed by the team. As repeated many times, with a new defensive coordinator in Jeff Reinebold, it would take time for everyone to understand the angles, and concepts in these schemes.
In their last two games, the defense has displayed more confidence in attacking the football, knowing their gap assignments, and overall playing level.
From the third quarter of their loss to Argonauts till late into the fourth quarter of the Blue Bombers victory, the Alouettes defense allowed only six points during that span.
As they progress through August into the fall season, this defense could be different in November than they were in June.

Post game thoughts on the Alouettes-Blue Bombers game
The Montreal Alouettes snapped their two game losing streak with a critical road victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Thus it avoids being tied for last place with the Blue Bombers, and now Montreal has a two game lead over the defending division champions.
Why did they win?
Before the game, there was a torrential storm in the Winnipeg area. However, the Alouettes were not deterred and came out played their best overall football game.
The Alouettes received excellent pass protection from their offensive line. It seemed when rookie sensation Patrick Lavoie was inserted into the lineup, the Blue Bombers defense was confused as he was able to open more passing lanes for quarterback Anthony Calvillo to survey.
Furthermore, the game was all but over late in the fourth quarter on Alouettes receiver, Jamel Richardson's second touchdown reception of the game. Richardson was left wide open by the Blue Bombers defense who did not have the correct personnel on the field that resulted in a breakdown in coverage.
The team defense stifled the Blue Bombers offense as Winnipeg quarterback, Alex Brink never got on track until late in the fourth quarter.
In-fact dating back to the third quarter of their loss to the Toronto Argonauts, the Alouettes defense had given up six points until the Blue Bombers scored 23 points in the fourth quarter.
It seems that the team defense is getting better on each play, and with the bye week coming at the right time, it would enable everyone to recharge their batteries for what will be a grueling stretch of 12 games in a row.
The value of Whitaker
The Alouettes are 2-0 when running back Brandon Whitaker has 20 plus touches on the football. He continues to dominate the Blue Bombers as he totaled 179 yards before he left the game with an upper body injury.
It has become clear that Whitaker is the key element for this offense to produce points and yards. So far, in the two games where he had a prominent role, the Alouettes offense has averaged 38.5 points per game.
With the second half of the season coming up, it will be important that they get Whitaker the football.
Big loss
Didier Ormejuste of RDS tweeted that Marc-Olivier Brouillette has a broken left wrist. The reports are surfacing he could be out between four to six weeks. With the bye week arriving, the timetable of Brouillette potentially coming back to the team could be in the middle of September.
This is a big loss in-terms of the roster ratio. Brouillette versatility enabled the team to use an import elsewhere on the field.
With him out of the lineup for the rest of the summer season, players such as special teams stalwart Brian Ridgeway will need to elevate his game even more.
No team is exempted from injuries, but with Brouillette out of the lineup it is a blow for the Alouettes who are trying to position themselves for a chance at first place going into the month of September.
Special Teams
For now it seems that second year player Bo Bowling will be given the torch to be the Alouettes returner. Bowling provided decent field position against the Blue Bombers, and showed glimpses of his speed.
With NFL training camps well underway, the curiosity begins if general manager, Jim Popp will scour through the waiver wire to convince a free agent to come up to Montreal.
Moving on
The Alouettes will get to enjoy some time off from the football grind. As head coach Marc Trestman has always preached, he wants his players far away from football, and off their feet during vacation.
When they come back to work next week, they will start preparing for their road game versus the Edmonton Eskimos in less than two weeks.

Why De'Audra Dix should be given another opportunity by the Montreal Alouettes
As the Montreal Alouettes complete the first half of the CFL season before their bye week. Heading into the second half of their schedule, questions will linger if the organization could make changes to their roster.Already the team has parted ways with their big off season signing in Aaron Hunt. As they approach an important division game versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, they could be staring at a 2-4 record and in last place by Saturday morning.
There is no denying the Alouettes secondary has underperformed. So far in five games, they have allowed a 100 yard receiver in three of those contests.
If the Alouettes are looking to bring in reinforcements, one player who is available and knows the team very well is De'Audra Dix.
Dix was apart of the organization that included their two successive Grey Cup triumphs, and now is patiently waiting for an opportunity from a CFL team.
So far, defenders such as Wopamo Osaisai and Seth Williams have repeatedly been picked on by the opposition. It seems the Alouettes do not have anyone to step in to replace these two players.
Why shouldn't Dix be given a chance? If the worst case scenario is he provides experienced depth to this position group, it gives this team another veteran who knows what it takes to win football games.
Granted last year was a trying season for the entire defense as this unit resembled a make shift recreational squad by the time they lost to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the playoffs. But Dix has the nose for the football, and is agile enough to cover the quicker receivers.
Right now, the Alouettes secondary has had issues with smaller receivers in the league. If Dix is brought into the fold, it would not take long for him to immerse himself back onto the team considering how many close friends he has on the roster.
If the Alouettes secondary does experience another rough outing versus the Blue Bombers, could management make changes, and if so, could Dix be receiving a phone call from management? They have nothing to lose in bringing Dix back onto the roster as already their secondary has been dominated by the opposition.
