Alouettes Defense: Vulnerable to Adams?
The Montreal Alouettes have a solid defense, but they're facing a tough test this week against the Calgary Stampeders. The big question on everyone's mind is: can they contain the Stampeders' star quarterback, Bo Levi Mitchell?
The Alouettes defense has been solid this year, especially in the secondary. But Mitchell is known for his ability to dissect defenses with his arm and legs. If the Alouettes aren't careful, he could pick them apart all game.
Alouettes Need To Be Ready For Everything
The Stampeders have a potent offense that's more than just Mitchell. They have a strong running game and a deep receiving corps. To be successful, the Alouettes need to be prepared for everything the Stampeders throw at them.
The Alouettes defense needs to be disciplined and play smart. They can't allow Mitchell to get comfortable in the pocket. They need to get pressure on him and make him throw errant passes. The Alouettes secondary will also need to be tight, as Mitchell likes to throw deep.
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure
If the Alouettes can get a strong pass rush going, it will make a big difference. Mitchell is a great quarterback, but he's not invincible. If the Alouettes can put pressure on him, they'll force him to make mistakes.
More Than Just Defense
The Alouettes offense will also need to play well to win this game. They can't rely solely on their defense to carry them. They need to score points and keep the pressure on the Stampeders.
The Alouettes have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They're more than capable of beating the Stampeders. But they need to play smart and stay focused. If they do that, they'll have a good chance of winning. Let's go Alouettes!
