Anthony Calvillo wants to hit the pavement running as an assistant coach with the Montreal Alouettes.Pro footballs all-time passing leader ended his one-year hiatus from football Monday when he was named an offensive assistant with the Alouettes. The 42-year-old Los Angeles natives official position wont be determined until Montreal hires a new offensive co-ordinator, which head coach Tom Higgins figures will happen in early January.The biggest thing for me right now is to start hunkering down, Calvillo said during a conference call. Once I get off this call Im going to get on the phone with (GM Jim Popp) and start getting access to a computer and start watching film from last year.I want to look at the entire season on the offence and see what was going on and absorb everything and learn from it. Being away from the game for a year has been great but its time for me to get back to work.Calvillo retired in January after a concussion limited him to just seven games in 2013. During his retirement announcement Calvillo said he was taking 2014 off to spend time with his wife and two young daughters but often stated his goal was to start coaching in 2015.Montreals defensive coaching staff returns intact with Noel Thorpe (defensive co-ordinator/assistant head coach), Keith Willis (defensive line), Greg Quick (linebackers) and Anwar Stewart (quality control). Offensively, Kris Sweet (offensive line) and Andre Bolduc (quality control) retained their jobs but offensive co-ordinator Ryan Dinwiddie will return as an offensive assistant, just like Calvillo.Dinwiddie, 34, who began his CFL coaching career as an assistant in 13 with Montreal, assumed the offensive co-ordinators job after Rick Worman was fired during training camp. To help Dinwiddie, the Alouettes hired former NFL assistant Turk Schonert and former CFL/NFL star Jeff Garcia as consultants before naming them receivers and quarterbacks coach, respectively.He (Dinwiddie) was put in a situation that there was no one else and so we surrounded him with whatever we possibly could, Higgins said. You have to look at it he also understood he was in a situation that was overwhelming to him.For him to have had that experience so very young in his coaching is going to serve him very well . . . I think hes a lot more comfortable now knowing he can continue to work and grow and learn. I dont look at it as a demotion, its just being back where he was and needs to be in his development.Higgins said Garcia, who joined Montreal in August as an offensive consultant before being promoted to quarterbacks coach, wont return. Garcia has a young family living in Southern California and wants to be closer to home.Running backs coach Mark Speckman and defensive assistant Jean-Vincent Posy-Audette both wont return. Speckman has interviewed for a head coaching position at Lewis & Clark, a Division III school in Portland, Ore., while Higgins said Posy-Audette opted against coming back.Montreal is also looking for a special-teams co-ordinator.The Alouettes opened last season losing six of their first seven games before finishing 8-2 to secure second in the East with a 9-9 record. After beating the B.C. Lions 50-17 in the East semifinal, Montreals campaign ended with 40-24 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the division final.Higgins also said Schonert might return in 15, fuelling speculation the former NFL quarterback could be promoted to offensive co-ordinator. Schonert served as the Buffalo Bills offensive co-ordinator in 08 and was a finalist for the Montreal head-coaching job that went to Dan Hawkins in 13.Hawkins was fired just five games into the 13 season after compiling a 2-3 record.With Garcia gone, Calvillo could become Montreals quarterbacks coach and tutor young starter Jonathan Crompton. Its a position Calvillo certainly knows well, having played 20 CFL seasons, including his final 16 with the Als.Calvillo retired as the most prolific passer in pro football history (79,816 yards) and three times was the CFLs outstanding player. He led Montreal to eight Grey Cup appearances, winning three, and Oct. 13 the Alouettes retired his No. 13.Higgins said Montreals offensive co-ordinator will determine the coaching roles of his assistants but added the experience Calvillo gained as a player would allow him to coach much more than just quarterbacks.He can coach running backs, quarterbacks, receivers anything on the offensive side of the ball not associated with the offensive line, Higgins said. Hes hungry to learn.He knows hes young in this process. He knows he can bring a lot to the table but also knows the learning curve hes going to incur.A fact not lost upon Calvillo.Im here to learn . . . Im up for anything, he said. Im really looking forward to the challenge because thats exactly what its going to be, a challenge to learn how to be a coach.Calvillo was blessed with a strong right arm, but physical ability was but one reason for his on-field success. He was also meticulous in his preparation, spending countless hours breaking down film of his opponents. Former Als head coaches Don Matthews and Marc Trestman both included Calvillo in forming the weekly offensive gameplan and were rewarded with Grey Cup titles with Calvillo under centre.However, the challenge Calvillo faces now is finding an effective way to pass on the many lessons hes learned to Montreals players.I have all this knowledge in my head but I have to make sure it comes across where guys can understand it, he said. When I would have my days off, when Id relax at home during the season the coaches were grinding away preparing for the next opponent . . . I have to see what they were doing for so many years to make sure I could bring information and knowledge to that whole process.Im starting from the bottom.But Popp said Calvillos many on-field accomplishments will command respect from Montreals players.Anthony will begin his career learning the ropes of being a coach, which is very different than a player, Popp said. Hell learn it very quickly but right off the bat when he walks into the locker-room theres true trust there with a lot of our players because he was their leader before he stepped away.

Jamie Quirk Jersey .com) - Mike Miller scored a season-high 21 points in a rare start and the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from their worst loss of the season with a 95-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Putting the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants on the same field is no longer the Manning Bowl.For the Giants, the prospect of the playing the Colts isnt any easier with Elis big brother, Peyton, in Denver. The job now involves finding a way to slow down Andrew Luck.The Colts (5-3) and Luck will face the Giants (3-4) at MetLife Stadium on Monday night with both teams looking to rebound.Indianapolis is coming off a 51-34 loss to Pittsburgh, while the Giants are returning from a bye week seeking to snap a two-game losing streak that featured one-sided losses to NFC East rivals Philadelphia and Dallas.Its time for both teams to start jelling with the stretch run on tap.This is exciting, Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. We have a good opportunity ahead of us. The way we have played to start the year, we have made it tough on ourselves, but we have to get hot. All we can do is worry about this next game. We have to handle our business and start playing at a higher level. The Giants need to that on both sides of the ball if they expect to get past the Colts, who have the NFLs top-ranked offence and the No. 1 rated passing game with Luck at quarterbackNew York has been outscored 58-21 in its last two games as the offence failed to make big plays and the defence has not stopped the run.Before the loss to the Steelers, and Luck and the Colts made big plays on both sides of the ball in winning five straight games.Luck has been outstanding. He set a team record last weekend, throwing for at least 300 yards in his sixth straight game, breaking Peyton Mannings mark.He has a great competitive fire about him, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said of his humble quarterback. He loves winning. He is not afraid of hard work. We all know the talent you can see on tape. He is big and strong. He is athletic and obviously a very bright guy. His intangibles are off the charts. The question remains can Eli Manning and the Giants new West Coast offence put up points against a suddenly suspect Indy defence. New York will not have No. 1 halfback Rashad Jennings (knee) and it is still looking to prove it can overcome the loss of explosive receiver Victor Cruz for the season with another knee injury.The bottom line is the Giants are facing missing the playoffs for the third straight year with nine games to go in the regular season.ddddddddddddIts your guys job to panic, and you guys do that very well, Giants veteran defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said to reporters. For us, theres parity in the league, you can talk about all of those things, injuries or whatever. The fact remains that we have a lot of games left on the schedule, weve got championship calibre talent in here, I still believe that 100 per cent, so we go out, we work, we put wins together and all of a sudden the perception changes. Some things to watch in this half-Manning Bowl:GIANTS DBs: Starting cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been bothered by back and hamstring injuries in recent weeks. It remains to be seen if the bye week helped him get healthy. If he is still limited, the Giants are really in trouble. Zack Bowman would get more playing time and it might even force the defence to use Mike Harris, signed off the Lions practice squad this week.COLTS Defence: A week after shutting out Cincinnati, Indianapolis allowed Pittsburgh 51 points and the Steelers had 639 yards in total offence. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 522 yards and six touchdowns, both franchise records. Indianapolis pressure defence failed to register a sack after getting 20 in the previous five-game winning streak.BACK TO THE MEADOWLANDS: Colts halfback Ahmad Bradshaw and receiver Hakeem Nicks were drafted by the Giants and spent a combined 11 seasons with the team. Both were members of the Super Bowl championship team in February 2012. Bradshaw joined the Colts last season, while Nicks was signed this year.FUTURE GAMES: Indianapolis has a game lead over Houston in the AFC South heading into the weekend. The Texans are home against Philadelphia (5-2). A Colts win would at least maintain the lead going into a bye week and give them breathing room heading into a game against New England. The Giants have Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas on tap after the Colts.HILTON WATCH: Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton leads the NFL with 866 yards receiving, a 16.3-yard average. His 53 catches are a team high, 15 more than Reggie Wayne. The Giants leading receiver is Rueben Randle, who has 34 catches for 321 yards, a 9.4-yard average. Giants general manager Jerry Reese complained about the teams lack of big plays on offence this season.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFLx ' ' '
