06/23/2009 - Winnipeg, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FACTS & FIGURES: Division - East. 2008 Record: 8-10. Playoff Result: Lost, 29-21, to Edmonton in division semifinals. Stadium - Canada Inns Stadium. Capacity - 29,533. Colors: Blue and Gold
The good news for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last season was that they finished in second place in the CFL's Eastern Division. Unfortunately, the club posted an 8-10 record during the regular season, not exactly cause for celebration, and the team was bounced from the playoffs in the semifinal round. Sometimes offseasons can be boring and quiet. However, that wasn't the case for the Blue Bombers.
First, head coach Doug Berry was shown the door, and Brendan Taman resigned his general manager position. Mike Kelly took over as head coach, and his first major duty is deciding who will start at quarterback.
Kevin Glenn was released, so the quarterbacks battling for the nod from Kelly are Stefan Lefors and Ryan Dinwiddie. Lefors played very little as the third- string quarterback in Edmonton, but he showed enough ability in his limited playing time that Winnipeg wanted to bring him aboard. As for Dinwiddie, he has been a backup for the Blue Bombers and now hopes to prove that he can carry the load.
There is no question that he has talent, but an unproven quarterback will always be heavily scrutinized.
Whichever quarterback wins the job, he will be playing behind an offensive line that has some fresh faces. Dominic Picard and Alexandre Gauthier, a pair of reliable linemen, left via free agency. Dan Goodspeed was also lost in a trade, so it is hard to imagine that the line will not suffer.
Fred Reid, Derrick Armstrong and Romby Bryant do bring explosiveness to the offense. Reid, a smallish tailback at 5-8 and 185 pounds, Reid finished sixth overall in the CFL in 2008 with 709 rushing yards on 101 carries. Armstrong led the team with 81 receptions to go along with 1,010 yards and five touchdowns, while Bryant had 65 grabs for 1,206 yards and nine scores.
Defensively, Winnipeg has enough talent in place to hold opponents in check. James Johnson is a new addition to the secondary, and Bombers' fans will likely remember him as the guy who intercepted Dinwiddie three times in the 2007 Grey Cup.
Keep an eye on Barrin Simpson, who missed most of last season with an injury. The linebacker is back on the field, and that's bad news for opponents.
Overall, Winnipeg has plenty of talent, but questions at quarterback keep us from picking the Blue Bombers to win the East Division.
