CFL tabs players of the month
July 29, 2004 - Canadian Football League (CFL) News Release
Offensive Player of the Month
QB - Anthony Calvillo #13
Montreal Alouettes
Highlights
Calvillo was the Rogers CFL Offensive Player of the Week for week six; he has been outstanding in every game since the start of the season.
Game Notes:
Calvillo does an excellent job of reading coverage and finding that second or third option. He comes across as being in total control of the offence and plays smart competitive football, game after game.
1st Runner Up: Casey Printers #1, BC Lions
2nd Runner Up: Ben Cahoon #86, Montreal

Defensive Player of the month
DB - Almondo Curry #22
Montreal Alouettes
Highlights
Curry demonstrates outstanding defensive backfield play, especially during week 5.
Game Notes:
It was a tough choice between Curry and the Argos' Michael Fletcher. They both played outstanding football, but I gave the call to Curry. He played tough intimidating football and was a main part of the Als smothering defensive backfield. His play was physical but he also showed his ability to press and run with receivers.
1st Runner Up: Michael Fletcher #2, Toronto Argonauts
2nd Runner Up: George White #38, Calgary Stampeders

Lineman of the month
DL - Jerome Haywood #99
Ottawa Renegades
Highlights
Haywood was our lineman of the week for week 1&2. No one has blocked him effectively one on one.
Game Notes:
He out-muscled some excellent offensive linemen and was able to control that important âpoint of attack.' At times he was like a human wrecking ball knocking people aside and controlling two gaps. Each week, his game was about awesome power and quickness.
1st Runner Up: Ed Philion #75, Montreal Alouettes
2nd Runner Up: Scott Schultz #96, Saskatchewan Roughriders
Judge: Ellison Kelly
Special Teams Player of the month
KR - Bashir Levingston #23
Toronto Argonauts
Highlights
Outstanding kick returns in weeks 1&2.
Game Notes:
Levingston is still a work in progress. The pursuit appears to be for more consistency. He had two exceptional games returning kicks and others that were so, so. His overall efforts, however, earned him monthly honours. His ability to accelerate and his overall speed made him an elusive target.
1st Runner Up: Winston October #9, Edmonton Eskimos
2nd Runner Up: Keith Stokes #3, Winnipeg Blue Bombers
