  Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto Argonauts linebacker Mike O'Shea was named Canadian Player of the Week for his performance in a 23-16 victory over Winnipeg in the season's first week.

  O'Shea tallied five tackles and a sack, moving into second place on the all- time CFL defensive tackles list with 1,088 trailing only Willie Pless' record of 1,241.

  Quarterback Anthony Calvillo of the Montreal Alouettes was named the top player on offense.

  He completed 25 of 37 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in a 33-10 win over the Hamilton Tiger- Cats. Calvillo also ran the ball five times for 23 yards.

  Calvillo now trails only Danny McManus (53,255) on the all-time CFL passing list.

  The Argonauts also produced the defensive player of the week in defensive back Willie Middlebrooks. In his first CFL game, Middlebrooks had a game-high nine tackles to go with a victory-sealing interception in edging Winnipeg.
