MONTREAL - Jonathan Crompton is looking forward to having a full season with the Montreal Alouettes, even if it is without favourite receiver Duran Carter or quarterbacks coach Jeff Garcia. Custom Buccaneers Jerseys .The long-haired pivot, who joined the Alouettes midway through the CFL season and put up a 9-3 record as a starter, will be listed as the top quarterback in training camp next spring.With a full training camp under his belt, the Alouettes will see if he has what it takes to get them back to the Grey Cup game after a four-year absence.Itll be huge, Crompton said Monday as the Alouettes cleared out their locker-room stalls following their elimination from the CFL playoffs. We have a good core group of guys, so Im excited about the future of this team. We have a high ceiling on where we can go.The Alouettes season ended Sunday with a 40-24 defeat in Hamilton in the East Division final.The team that started the campaign 1-7 battled back to finish the regular season 9-9 and win the East semifinal over the B.C. Lions before falling to Hamilton. The comeback coincided with the arrival of the sometimes erratic but surprisingly effective Crompton behind centre.He was helped by guidance from in-season hire quarterbacks coach Garcia, although the former CFL and NFL star is expected to find a coaching job closer to his family in San Diego.Garcias replacement may end up being former Alouettes great Anthony Calvillo, who is expected to take up coaching, although no contract has yet been signed.It is among many changes expected on a team that spent most of the season adjusting to a coaching change and Calvillos retirement after the 2013 campaign.General manager Jim Popp put out a list of 20 players whose contracts are up, including top receivers Carter and S.J. Green, linebackers Chip Cox, Bear Woods and Winston Venable, cornerback Geoff Tisdale, defensive back Jerald Brown and running back Tyrell Sutton.Popp considers Cox, Woods and Green the top priorities to re-sign, but expects to lose Carter.Because of the interest thats come from NFL teams, and also based on my evaluation as a player, I expect hell have his choice of where to sign and that hell be going to an NFL camp, Popp said of Carter, who led the team and was third in the CFL with 1,030 receiving yards. If things dont work out, the doors open for him to return here.Green, who caught three touchdown passes in the East final, would be a big fish on the market if hes not signed before Feb. 15.Id like to come back, but well see how it goes, said Green, who looks forward to working with Crompton from the start of camp. Last year, we thought we had a quarterback (Troy Smith). Now we have a quarterback this organization believes in and who I believe in. We have a lot to look forward to.It was a bizarre season. It started in the off-season, when team owner Bob Wetenhall waited until late in the winter to announced that Tom Higgins, who had not coached in six years, was the head coach.Then offensive co-ordinator Rick Worman was fired during training camp and replaced by the inexperienced Ryan Dinwiddie.Once the season began, it became clear that former Heisman Trophy winner Smith was not getting the job done at quarterback.Garcia and Turk Scoenert were brought in to bolster the coaching staff and, with Crompton at quarterback and thanks to the solid play of the defence, they managed to have a respectable season.Who knows what Crompton could have achieved in the first half of the season, having a training camp and having a solid situation, said Garcia. Nothing about this year was very solid until the second half. Hes got a tremendous upside. I think weve just seen a sample of what hes capable of.Higgins agreed, saying the starting job will be Cromptons to lose in camp.He allowed us the opportunity to get to an Eastern final, along with a lot of other people, said Higgins. Sometimes it takes time to develop. He might have had a lot of yards (in the East final), but I think hed tell you it was not as good a game as he can play. There were three interceptions and there were times he threw the ball (into traffic) and we got lucky.Higgins, who will be back, wants more depth in Canadian talent and on the offensive line, which he said is starting to age.He expects changes to the coaching staff, but hasnt decided whether to continue handling special teams. The punt coverage took heat for Brandon Banks two return TDs in the East final.Its not like we let him score, said defensive lineman John Bowman. Everybody fought their heart out, but the guy just made plays. Hes a great returner.And as for controversy over the Alouettes pre-game trash talking, which Higgins wasnt crazy about, Woods said it was overblown.If you put a microphone in my face, Im going to say were going to win, said Woods. Where I come from, thats not trash talk. Im not afraid to be confident. I truly believed we were going to win that game and I was truly wrong, but I dont regret that at all.One who expects to be back is former NFL star Chad Johnson, who hardly saw the ball playing the far side wide receiver and then suffered a concussion and a groin injury that will need surgery.I had fun, said Johnson. Ronald Jones II Buccaneers Jersey . Joining him in this years class were Switzerlands Patrick Huerlimann and Norways Eigil Ramsfjell. The announcement was made at the world mens curling championship at Capital Indoor Stadium in China. M.J. Stewart Jersey .C. -- The shot that would have beaten No. http://www.thebuccaneersfansclub.com/Black-Friday-Mj-Stewart-Jersey/ .Cullen scored the go-ahead goal at 13:47 of the third period and Nashville beat the slumping Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday in a game that wasnt decided until the last shot of the night.LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool beat Swansea 4-3 on Sunday to maintain its Premier League title challenge thanks to two goals each from Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson. The goals took Liverpools tally in the Premier League this season to 70, overtaking Manchester City as the top scorers, and left the fourth-place team just four points behind league leader Chelsea. However, manager Brendan Rodgers refused to be drawn on Liverpools title hopes. "I think for us, were concentrating on our performance," Rodgers said. "Were just concentrating on winning games. No one is really talking about us for the title anyway. Everything now is about Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal." Sturridges first came in the third minute when he received a through ball from Raheem Sterling before rounding Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm and firing into an open goal. The striker then provided the assist for Henderson to double Liverpools lead in the 20th from the edge of the area. Jonjo Shelvey pulled one back for Swansea against his former club three minutes later with a long-range strike that went in off the crossbar. He held his arm up in apology to his former club, a gesture that received applause from the Liverpool fans. But the home supporters were shocked into silence soon after when Wilfried Bony equalized in the 27th minute, with his header from Jonathaan De Guzmans free kick taking a slight deflection off Martin Skrtel. Carlton Davis Jersey. Sturridge gave Liverpool a 3-2 lead at halftime when he headed in from close range after a Luis Suarez cross had found him unmarked. Swansea levelled soon after the interval though when Bony scored a penalty after being fouled by Skrtel. Suarez went close to restoring Liverpools lead but Vorm saved well when one-on-one with the striker before De Guzman nearly gave Swansea the lead when he shot just wide from a free kick. Henderson struck the winner after receiving a pass from Suarez. His initial shot was parried by Vorm but the England forward reacted quickest to poke the ball in from close range. Despite the victory, Rodgers is hoping to see an improved defensive display against Southampton next weekend. "At 2-0, we should manage the game better," Rodgers said. "We are obviously very disappointed with the goals we conceded." Swansea manager Garry Monk tried to take the positives out of the defeat. "I cant complain about the effort from my players," Monk said. "Going forward, I think its a confidence boost to them that they can come to somewhere like this - where a lot of people thought they would wipe the floor with us, the way theyve been dismantling teams here - and we were in the game right up until the final whistle."
