As the linebacker gets ready to return Sunday night in Montreal<\/a>, he expects the entire unit to elevate its level of play.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing that much points is not our standard,\u201d he told the media this week. \u201cOur standard is 17 points, no matter who we\u2019re playing against. We need to get back to that starting this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beverette doesn\u2019t know the exact moment he sustained his injury, but he was removed in the second quarter of the home opener against the Toronto Argonauts. Watching from the bench the next week offered him a completely different perspective \u2014 one he didn\u2019t enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very frustrating. I haven\u2019t missed a game in five years and counting. Just watching from that view and that angle was different for me. To get back this week helps me cherish the game of football.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lakewood, N.J., native admitted that stepping away from the field allowed him to better appreciate both the energy his unit brings and the areas that still need improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the type of defence we have. We just need to go back to play our dominant football, and not allowing too much points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Jason Maas offered a slightly different perspective on the defensive situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not worried about it,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s to score more points than your opponent, no matter what happens. Obviously, we have standards on our defence we want to play to every single game. We don\u2019t talk about, \u2018Hey, they have to be at these points per game.\u2019 It\u2019s always about how we execute on defence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Maas frequently emphasizes a \u201cnext man up\u201d mentality, he welcomes Beverette\u2019s return with open arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I\u2019ve been here, that was his first game missed. The thing I love about \u2018Bev\u2019 is he can impact the game in a variety of different ways,\u201d he said. \u201cHe plays special teams as well for us. He\u2019s played 1500 plus plays in the last three years for us, so we\u2019re used to him being on the field and his presence. It will be very much welcome to have him back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Alouettes (2-1) host the Ottawa Redblacks (0-2) on Sunday, June 28.
