Sure, the Canadian Football League is still 2 ½ months away from the start of training camp, but do you get the sense the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are a long way from being a contender?
In fact, last year at this time, many of the local football experts were worried that the team being assembled by Mike Kelly was starting to resemble the team that was assembled in 1998 by Jeff Reinebold. Plenty of no-names and an untested quarterback caused many of our great local football minds to question the new head coach.
Wonder where they all went this year?
I mean, really, has anyone noticed that the Blue Bombers have lost both of their good young defensive halfbacks? Jonathan Hefney signed with the NFL’s Detroit Lions while Lenny Walls was released to Montreal. Granted they signed aging Lavar Glover, 32, but right now they look old and slow.
