There were no obvious first-game jitters from Dan Hawkins in the Alouettes 38-33 win on Winnipeg on Thursday. However, it wasnt the smoothest debut as there are still a couple of things to work on. But in the end, a close road victory is the same value as a home blow-out win. At least Hawkins had fun in his professional coaching debut. "There are a lot of games that are going to be close, so you kind of know its going to be like that, thats what makes it fun," said Hawkins. Fun it was. The Alouettes started strong with a Geoff Tisdale interception on the Bombers first offensive play at Investors Group Field. This led to a Chris Jennings TD and then, on Winnipegs first punt of the game, Tyrone Carrier took it to the house. Winnipeg bounced back nicely for their fans but in the end, Montreals offence got back on track by the fourth quarter when Calvillo finally found the end zone with a 42-yard strike to S.J. Green. Here are some of my observations from Week 1 for the Alouettes. Positive yards Dan Hawkins: Seemed to have an early grasp on the CFL game. He managed the clock well, conceded safeties when needed and procedure calls were minimal. S.J. Green: Came up big when needed. In a receiving corps full of stars, he caught the game-breaking touchdown and was the most reliable of the bunch on the night. Geoff Tisdale: I felt he was involved, he did get hit up on the Clarence Denmark TD but it was tight coverage. His early interception did help the Alouettes set the tone for the first half. Tyrone Carrier and Noel Devine: You can already sense a jump in the Alouettes special teams game as both have dynamic speed. Devine also brought a certain punch to the Als offence when needed. Other Notable Positives: Kyries Hebert, Mike Edem, Sean Whyte. Negative yards Pass Protection: The same issue the Alouettes had last season once Brandon Whitaker went down to injury. It is never good when a 40-year-old QB gets sacked five times in a game. Special teams coverage: This will take time with a brand new coaching staff but the Als saw too many TDs returned against them last season so adjustments will need to be made to solve an early problem. Jamel Richardson: After a sub-par season in 2012, youd expect a few mistakes early in the season but it looked just like last season. Other Notable Negatives: Luc Brodeur-Jourdain, Chris Jennings On the injury front, the main concern was Anthony Calvillos throwing hand as halfway through the game, he was wincing after hitting it on a helmet. He didnt miss a snap so the worries were put to rest quickly. Calvillo started strong, struggled a little in the third quarter but came out firing in the fourth after trying to rally the troops with some rarely shown emotion after a Chris Jennings drop. All in all, Montreal picked up a road win to start the season, which is never easy. They get to do it all over against Winnipeg next Thursday in Montreal. Expect Winnipeg to make some adjustments and hope Montreal makes some of their own, too. For more on Twitter: @seanrcampbell Nike Air Max 97 Donna .

Scarpe Air Max 97 Uomo Shaun Johnson admits the Warriors have left coach Andrew McFadden in a precarious position after failing to secure an NRL finals spot.The Auckland-based outfit lost their final four matches of the season to miss the top eight for a fifth consecutive season, of which McFadden has coached three.They concluded their 2016 campaign with a limp 40-18 defeat to Parramatta in Auckland on Sunday, gifting the Eels numerous tries through careless mistakes.The failure to secure a top eight berth turns the heat up on McFadden, who was expected to deliver finals football this year.But Johnson, 25, said the responsibility for the late-season collapse rested firmly on the squads shoulders.Schoolboy errors, defensive lapses and carelessness could not be put down to coaching deficiencies.Theres not much you can say, Johnson said on Sunday.We let him down again and let ourselves down again.Weve put him in a very vulnerable position.Johnson said it was particularly galling to crash out given the individual quality within the squadd.ddddddddddddThe team would now have to dwell on their failures over a long off-season.Its basic fundamentals which we dont place enough importance on at the moment, its hurting us, the halfback said.You cant not pull someone up on some of the stuff were doing.Thomas Leuluai, who played his last game for the club on Sunday before heading to the Super League, agreed with his halves partner.The NRL was too difficult to throw away points and still expect victory.Too many tries handed to them on a plate and then we bombed three of ours, we cant do that in this competition, the 31-year-old Leuluai said.Leuluai said the failure to achieve finals football in 2016 ranked as the most painful in his time at the club given the squads potential.His teammates were ruing their missed opportunity as well.If we played our best football and got beaten, so be it - but we didnt do that, Leuluai said.
