WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be spending a lot of time at training camp this season deciding on the pecking order among their three backup quarterbacks. "Our whole training camp will be based on developing our quarterbacks, in addition to, you know, everybody else on the team," coach Tim Burke said Tuesday, a day before the start of rookie camp. It wont be business as usual as far as evaluating pivots, he added, with all four at rookie camp including starter Buck Pierce. "Normally you go into a season you say, OK, heres our No. 1 guy, heres our No. 2 guy, heres our No. 3 guy, and so you proportion your reps accordingly with the No. 1 guy getting the vast majority of them," he said. "In this camp, were going to try to get everybody a lot of reps so we can see which will be the No. 2, 3 and 4 guys." Veteran Justin Goltz is going in as the top candidate behind Pierce but Burke said there is no guarantee he will hold that spot. The Bombers cut their other veteran backups, Alex Brink and Joey Elliott, in the off-season and signed Max Hall and Chase Clement, who have no CFL experience. The Bombers still like Pierce and believe he gives them their best chance to win, when he stays healthy. He missed most of last season with a series of injuries and the Bombers went from Grey Cup contenders in 2011 to second-last in the CFL standings in 2012. Burke also wants to improve the secondary and will give some new defensive backs a try. "I didnt think our secondary played very well last year, so we brought in a lot of DBs to compete at that position," he said. "Certainly the guys who were here last year are going to have to play better than they played last year or they wont be here." This is Burkes first full season as head coach, a position few seem to hold for very long lately with the Bombers. Burke is the sixth head coach in the last 10 years. He replaced Paul LaPolice, who was sacked mid-season in 2012. The Bombers wont get a look at their top two draft picks right away. Andy Mulumba has signed with the Green Bay Packers and Kristopher Robertson has a torn anterior cruciate ligament. But theyve signed third-round pick Carl Fitzgerald, who they will try to switch from a wide receiver to a fullback or tight end. They also signed fourth-round pick and wide receiver Michael DeCroce, although Burke said thats going to be a tough position for any rookie to crack. Another area where theyll be looking to see if an upgrade is possible is at punter. The list of contenders for Mike Renauds job includes draft pick Billy Pavlopoulos and Brett Cameron, the son of Bombers legend Bob Cameron. Two key players are still recovering from injuries and off-season repairs. Veteran receiver Terrence Edwards is likely to be ready first -- perhaps for the pre-season -- but defensive back Johnny Sears may not be ready until the start of the regular season, said Burke. Burke added that if the Bombers want to get back to the playoffs this season, they have one issue to settle. "Can we consistently play at a high level? The mark of a champion is consistently playing at a high level under pressure," he said. Wholesale Kings Jerseys .C. United of Major League Soccer.

Then everything blew up on July 4, and that left the Thunder to face a future without their biggest star.Whats goodNo, your eyes dont deceive you: The Thunders roster still ranks 19th in sports, even after Kevin Durant announced he was leaving the team (they were fifth with Durant last year). Many assumed his departure would force the Thunder to sell off talent, tank, grab assets and start over -- that, of course, has been the outlook for other franchises that have watched stars walk. For the Thunder, though, that overhaul wasnt necessary. Russell Westbrook stabilized the organization by renegotiating an extension, and in addition to that, the Thunder have a core of four under-25 former lottery picks, which is what a team in rebuild mode would be looking to acquire, anyway.Whats badThe Thunder were a team on the cusp of a championship the past five years. With Durant gone, this teams title track (down 31 spots from last year to 69th -- their lowwest showing this year) was derailed.dddddddddddd More importantly, the foundation of the franchise was shaken. Durant spent the past nine seasons (eight in OKC) leading the Thunder, defining their culture and setting the standard on and off the court. His decision to leave in many ways confirmed fans greatest fears and served as evidence for many of the franchises greatest critics. Fans clearly havent forgiven Thunder owners for letting Durant leave, either: The ownership group ranks 64th, down 48 spots.Whats newFans were happy with Billy Donovans first year as head coach. After he brought the team within a game of the Finals, the Thunders coaching ranking jumped 29 spots, to 47th overall. Its the teams relative consistency, in these rankings and the NBA standings, that has helped the Thunder become one of pro sports elite franchises. Front-office personnel from other sports routinely visit Oklahoma City to observe how the Thunder operate and how they established such a connection with the city and built a tangible culture. Now, the Thunder will truly be measured by how they acquit themselves in a post-Durant world. They lean on two words: sustainable success. If they can achieve that in the wake of Durants departure, then they really do have something special.Next: Charlotte Hornets?| Full rankings Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys China Womens NFL Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale NFL White Jerseys Discount Jerseys ' ' '
