Great to see Gabe get a chance at a higher level! He is exactly the type of player coach Bohl needs to bring in.

Knapton is being productive, but the Alouttes just don't seem to be that good.

CFL is a bit of a different animal from the NFL, so there is nothing wrong with having a solid CFL career. The type of skills that make one successful in one of those leagues does not always transfer so well to the other. I've seen some good NFL talent come to the CFL and fall flat because they don't have the mobility needed to be successful there. Sure, every CFL player would like an NFL career, but the CFL is not minor league... Anyway, the whole Eastern Conference is being dominated by the Western Conference this year so the Montreal Alouettes are still very much in the hunt for a playoff spot. Although they are just 1 and 6, they are still tied for second. Cory Maces' Calgary Stampeders are tied for first in the Western Conference with a 6 and 1 record. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/standings/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
