(Montreal) The Montreal Alouettes are always looking for solutions that will allow them to get their season back on track.

After losing a 19-point lead against the Edmonton Elks (2-4) to lose 32-31 last Thursday, the Alouettes (1-4) will be looking to restart their season against the Ottawa Redblacks (0-5) this Thursday.
After taking several receiver obstruction penalties last week, coverage drills have been added to the training schedule for the week.
Head coach Danny Maciocia and defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe also moved Tyrrell Richards from inside linebacker to outside linebacker. This is not a disavowal of the quality of his game, but the Alouettes are trying to find the right position to showcase all his athletic qualities.
Maciocia is also hoping his team finally has a 60 minute game in store. The head coach believes the team only gave maximum effort over the entire game in the win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders last month.
If the attack has finally unlocked in the paying zone with four touchdowns and a placement against the Elks, it will have to do even better against the Rouge et Noir. Quarterback Trevor Harris is of the opinion that the team has once again left points on the field, a situation it absolutely must reverse.
