MONTREAL - Eliminated on 23 November, with his teammates for the Montreal Alouettes, Jonathan Crompton is a fairly long offseason and he prances impatience at the idea of ??bombing Anthony Calvillo questions to continue his progression.
Although the precise role of Calvillo has not yet been announced in the organizational coaches, the Alouettes quarterback is pleased to hire. In fact, he does not hesitate to say, laughing, that he may eventually find disturbing.
"I'm going to drink myself of his knowledge and watch a variety of videos with him. I told him he was going to get fed me so much that I was going to ask him to learn from him, "he told Crompton passage RDS. Anthony Calvillo
For now, Crompton has discussed with the legendary quarter a few times on the phone, but he already knows what he dreams to extract from its association with the old number 13.
"I especially want to develop this consistency that was his great strength. We all know that we can know bad games, but I would remove my less positive performance so that they become better. This is the level I want to achieve, "Crompton wished that stopped in Montreal for a few days.
After one year away from football, Calvillo (photo) will begin the coaching chapter in his career and may entrust the management of quarters. So it's Turk Schonert who will spearhead the attack. Named offensive coordinator Tuesday, the former receivers coach may increase its influence on the offensive face of the Alouettes.
"I do not know yet what kind of system they advocate, but I know he is creative and consistent in its approach. It has very extensive knowledge offensive and we are pleased to have the opportunity to continue working with him, "Crompton described on this energetic and enthusiastic strategist who was, in 2014, a more important role than his official title.
Since he inherited the role of starting quarterback Alouettes, Crompton has built an enviable reputation for winning with a 9-3 record. Surrounded by excellent receivers, a quarter of 27 years has found ways to win. By cons, he should have to give up the dangerous Duron Carter - who should sign an NFL contract - and perhaps even to SJ Green whose return has not announced.
Crompton's not naive type, it includes the economic reality of the sport. If it ever happened the fearsome Green, he will have to turn more often to Fred Stamps, the new acquisition Montreal he experienced during his stay with the Edmonton Eskimos.
"I think it is still some good seasons. I can assure you that he will work hard, "said Crompton about the 33-year-old.
"He wants to win and so it will come with a bitter taste in the mouth," Crompton specified by referring to his desire to prove to the Eskimos that they were wrong to dispose of it.
Recognized as a leader, Stamps therefore bring in familiar territory in Montreal. In addition to knowing some players like Crompton, his former coach Kavis Reed, inherited the mandate to raise the level of special units of the Birds.
At first glance, some fans might believe that this addition does not change anything in Crompton of life, but rather the opposite.
"We can not wait to see how it can help us and I know our offense will benefit with better field position," has he rejoiced. "I called to welcome him on the good side of the force and he did a great job when he was in charge of special units in the past. »
Nothing to do skeptics
Humble and nature enthusiast, Crompton does not yet have the most impressive directory on a football field. However, his abilities allow him to avoid the most costly mistakes and he has the intelligence to manage the expectations of professional sports.
Despite its highly positive impact on the performance of the Alouettes, many skeptics persist in relation to its potential to regain the Grey Cup. Jonathan Crompton
"I do not care about these people, I focus on the people who surround me. I am comfortable with this reality of professional sports. There will always be people who criticize us and, anyway, I'm the biggest critic of myself. I just want to meet the demands of my organization, "said Crompton.
With more year of experience under his belt, a quarter with long hair and the relaxed pace will be in context to raise his game a notch. Crompton therefore linger refine many aspects of his game with his leadership, his mechanics and analysis videos.
"I am my biggest critic and we need that to grow mainly as quarterback because are the smallest details that make the difference in our position," he recalled.
Question not abuse his body, Crompton will wait until February to start throwing balls at a frequency of three times a week. Some teammates will no doubt join him to improve chemistry until desired result.
"It's long, I'm already tired of waiting. I think of the 2015 season since the day after our disposal. Many of us be hungry to raise the Grey Cup after our disappointing conclusion, "said the fellow six-foot-four and 225 pounds.[/i]
