If they say offence wins games and defence wins championships, the Alouettes may be alright come November. But its July and the season has gotten off on the wrong foot for Montreals offence. On the other side of the ball, despite a 1-2 record, the defence can say they are doing their job. The last two weeks Noel Thorpes crew has given up only three touchdowns -- two goal-line QB sneaks against Winnipeg and a tipped ball that landed in the hands of Nik Lewis versus Calgary. "I love my defense; we knew going into camp we were going to be a scrappy physical bunch," defensive lineman John Bowman said. The unit is led by Thorpe, the Alouettes defensive coordinator. Hired prior to Marc Trestman leaving to become head coach of the Chicago Bears, Thorpes previous positions included stops at the Université de Montreal where he was the defensive coordinator and in Edmonton as the special teams coordinator for the Eskimos. Early on he has earned instant respect from his players including defensive back Byron Parker. "Our front seven is playing amazing football right now," Parker said. "Hats off to the front line, coach Thorpe is calling a great game." In three games Montreal has four interceptions, seven fumble recoveries and 14 sacks. The high-level play of the defence has only increased the pressure on the underperforming offence. However, Parker dismissed any concern the team had for its offensive leader, Anthony Calvillo. "Im not worried about AC, hes a living legend," Parker said. Fellow defensive back Geoff Tisdale echoed Parkers sentiments about the rest of the offence. "Were a team, were a family, we got to stick together," Tisdale said. "We are built to get the ball back for our offence, thats what we are going to do every game." The Alouettes are refusing to hit the panic button, realizing there were similar concerns last season about the early struggles of the defence and they were able to turn things around. "We are going to get it together, its an 18-game season, we have seven more home games and we are going to take it one game at a time," Parker said. Although the Als defence looks like it is championship caliber, the offence needs to step up in a rematch with the Stampeders this Saturday in Calgary and prove it can win a game. Notes: Last week vs. the Stamps, Montreal had six penalties of at least 15 yards…Nik Lewis had as many second down conversions as the Alouettes had as a team…The Als Defense limited the Stampeders to three field goals and one touchdown in four trips to the redzone… Montreal only had one trip to the redzone and it came on their opening drive.Nike Air Max 180 Nederland .

Those writers -- Arash Markazi, Brian Campbell, Peter Rosenberg, Tim Fiorvanti, Nic Atkin and Sean Coyle -- have consistently voted both Flair and Banks higher and higher by the week, and this edition of the Power Rankings is no exception. What is different, however, is that Flair reached two milestones this time around: the third overall spot and her first first-place vote.Heres how the list shook out.Each of the top 10 is shown by rank (with first place votes received), along with how much theyve moved up or down from the most recent previous edition of the ESPN WWE Power Rankings.Week after week, Styles keeps plugging along as the current top worker in the company by turning in one strong match after another in defense of his WWE world championship. And while his current role as heel isnt my favorite for his character (without the presence of?Luke Gallows?and?Karl Anderson?by his side), its still working. Incredibly,?the?addition of an unlikely foil in?James Ellsworth?is helping Styles really flex his bad guy muscles. (Campbell)Over the past fortnight, Owens has finally started to showcase the monster heel side of his character that made him so effective in NXT (and in his pre-WWE career). He got things rolling with a pop-up powerbomb to Seth Rollins on the ring apron -- the move he famously used to take out his storyline best friend?Sami Zayn?in a memorable heel turn on his?NXT debut. Then came a bruising performance coupled with excellent psychology inside Hell in a Cell, as he and Rollins stole the show in one of the more memorable Cell bouts of the last 15 years. (Atkin)With apologies to the late, great Owen Hart, Im going to steal his catchphrase: Enough is enough. Why should Flair be lower than number one? She regained the title in yet another brilliant pay-per-view performance inside Hell in a Cell and now stands as the three-time WWE Raw womens champion. While Flair and Sasha Banks seem destined to feud for a long, long time, lets hope that itll soon be time for a something new -- a chance to see if Flair can make?Bayley?look big time. (Rosenberg)If this seems like an unfair fall for the former No. 1 in the power rankings, it probably is. After a hot-and-cold rivalry over the last couple of months, Rollins and Owens had a tremendous match inside Hell in a Cell. Rollins showed just how strong he is by lifting Owens for an incredible toss through two tables, and he proved just how effective he can be against almost any kind of opponent -- and especially against a top-notch competitor like Owens. His move towards pairing up with Reigns could hopefully move Rollins towards his much more natural (and effective) heelish tendencies as we move closer and closer to the road to Wrestlemania. (Fiorvanti)As The List of Jericho grows, so does Jerichos role in the main event pictture on RAW.dddddddddddd It seems outrageous to say this about such a decorated superstar, but in Jerichos 17 years with the WWE, his value might be higher now than it has ever been -- and hes already a superstar who has held six world championships, a record nine Intercontinental championships and headlined a WrestleMania. Even when Jericho is not officially part of a match, as was the case at Hell in a Cell, he still makes an impact. Jericho is an entertainer in every sense of the word, and the future Hall of Famer is one of the primary reasons to tune in on Monday nights. (Coyle)Im a little bit torn here. On the one hand, I absolutely loathed that he escaped everything that?Rusev?had to throw at him at Hell in a Cell, including a brutal-looking, chain-enhanced Accolade. The way hes been booked as an almost?John Cena-level superman is doing him no favors either. Those points aside, its not Reigns fault -- he doesnt write the?stories, he just goes out there and executes them to the best of his abilities. In that respect, what hes doing is still great. (Rosenberg)Ambrose undeniably slid after losing the WWE world championship, but the tail end of the multiway rivalry between himself, Styles and Cena and everything that followed has breathed new life into Ambroses career. We likely have at least a few more weeks of Ambrose dealing with Styles and the monster he created in Ellsworth, which should carry him through Survivor Series and his scheduled title match at TLC. Ambrose has likely benefited just as much as Styles has from an unlikely foil in Ellsworth, as its allowed him to show both his comedic side and his crazy edge in a realistic way. (Fiorvanti)This is the best stretch of Mizs career, from his look, to his commanding presence on the microphone. While its something we wouldnt have said (or believed) even one year ago, The Miz has worked himself into a position where an invitation back into the main event title picture would be well-received and well-earned. Hes the best heel talker that SmackDown Live currently has on its roster, and arguably the best one overall in the company at this moment. (Campbell)It is not entirely her fault, but there must be a reason WWE is reluctant to keep the Raw womens title on Banks. She has failed to convince as a babyface, and despite some stellar efforts in the ring, like her incredible showing in a historic Hell in a Cell match, both of her title runs have been brief. Banks has failed to defend the title on both occasions she defended it on pay-per-view, and with Flair back in the saddle as champion it might be a little while before we see a third reign for her. In honesty, her character works much better as a heel, as evidenced by her stellar NXT run when she really was The Boss -- and its high time to give her the freedom to express herself. A heel turn on Bayley could set the womens division alight on Raw. (Atkin)It wasnt too long ago that hope seemed lost for Ziggler, despite his immense talent. He was stuck in a feud with?Baron Corbin?for much of the summer, and began to resurface after the?brand split, but never really caught fire. Its amazing what one effective feud can do to take a superstar to that next level. His chemistry with The Miz, along with his passionate, fiery promos, has elevated Ziggler and increased his value to the SmackDown Live brand. Where he goes from here remains to be seen, but Ziggler is in a better place right now than he has been in at any point since he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase the night after WrestleMania 29 in 2013.
