		But Montreal's definite weakness last year was running the football, a huge surprise considering the Alouettes have traditionally been the league's best rushing squad, first with longtime back Mike Pringle (now in Edmonton) and in 2002 with Lawrence Phillips (out of football).
		The Alouettes also bolstered their receiving corps in the off-season by signing Jacquez Green, who had 162 catches for 2,311 yards in five seasons with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions.
		While Toronto spent the off-season loading up, the Alouettes were losing talent and it would appear the Als aren't as good as they were last year when they went tooth and nail to down the hard-charging Argos.
