When a team sits at 1-8 — their Week 1 starting quarterback on the shelf indefinitely with an undisclosed injury, an offence working to assimilate to a vastly different system from the NFL-style scheme that was shoehorned onto them, and a defence that continues to allow opposing quarterbacks to light them up — you might as well start from scratch. “Its kind of a training camp mode,” said veteran Blue Bombers slotback Terrence Edwards. “I think theyre trying to figure out who are the best five receivers, whos the best back, whos the best quarterback, whos the best group of offensive linemen. So its kind of a training camp mode, but were still doing it in the concept of a game week. And theyve just got to evaluate people off practice and give them an opportunity to play and see how they do in the games.” Since flipping the brass positions of president & CEO, general manager, and offensive coordinator over the last four weeks, the team appears much more open to make changes and experiment with talent positions on the field. “Were always wheeling and dealing, so well see what we can come up with,” said head coach Tim Burke of the new organizational mindset. “Were always in constant communication with (other teams). Yes, it would never happen before.” “You have to play well to keep your job. You know, just like we have to perform well to keep my job.” And when things are going as poorly as they are in Winnipeg, buried deep in the East Division cellar at the midway point of the CFL season, changes are necessary. “We had a tryout last week for a number of guys,” added Burke of a closed session the team held on Wednesday with an unnamed cornerback, safety, quarterback, and pair of defensive ends. “Were just trying to get the new guys like (Mike) Sims-Walker — were trying to get them up to speed as fast as we can. And so well play him this week but in kind of a limited role because he doesnt know all of the offence. It gives us a chance to see what he can do and we think he can do some good things. Every week is a game week so were treating it like a game week, and then we try to get extra meeting time with the new guys and try to indoctrinate them as best as we can. Get them as many reps as we can.” “Weve got our problems on both sides of the ball. I thought our offence played better last week, but then we didnt finish the fourth quarter. I thought defensively that we played well enough for about two-thirds of the game, but the other third wasnt good enough. We didnt have a very good pass rush, and then we didnt cover really well at times. Some of thats correctable. It wasnt that their guys were just beating our guys. We had technique mistakes, alignment mistakes. And all those little things add up. We can play better than what weve been playing on defence, and weve got to pay attention to the details or well have to do something.” The team has brought in a plethora of new talent over the last couple weeks, including some NFL castoffs in safety/linebacker Aaron Rouse — who abruptly departed a day later because of an agreement he held with the team to be able to leave if an NFL opportunity arose — former Buffalo Bills backup quarterback Levi Brown, and the Jacksonville Jaguars leading receiver in 2009, Mike Sims-Walker. “Im just learning the ins and outs of it,” said the 28-year-old Sims-Walker. “The coverage is different, the corners play a little different, of course the motions; just a lot of little things. Its not so much the big part of running routes and catching the ball, learning the scheme; its more the little things.” “Weve got a lot of guys that can make plays. I dont know if its just not clicking yet or what, but not only myself but a lot of receivers are trying to make some plays.” Sims-Walker helps explain, at least from a receivers perspective, some of the nuances and adjustments that need to be made when playing north of the border. “In the Canadian league youve got to be more quick than fast. Just little things like that. I cant come out here and run full-speed routes because Im used to being stationary and just going. Some things youve got to tempo and some things youve just got to calm down in, and you cant do it exactly how youre used to doing it. Youve got to do it a little different.” “I have to adjust my game to whats effective out here instead of what Im used to.” Sims-Walker will dress for his first CFL game in the tenth edition of the Banjo Bowl on Sunday. Notes: Receiver Jade Etienne has been cleared to practice but not yet play after suffering a concussion in Regina. Rory Kohlert returns from a hamstring injury and will slot in for him... Second-year Bomber Will Ford will start at running back for Chad Simpson who returned from Miami, Fla., where his partner had a baby earlier this week, with a foot pain. Simpson saw doctors in Winnipeg on Thursday and Friday, but the team says there is no update on his status. It is the same foot that kept the tailback out for an extended period of time last season... The right side of the offensive line continues to be juggled as Paul Swiston moves to right tackle, Shannon Boatman to right guard... 2012 first-round draft pick Tyson Pencer made the 46-man roster this week, but he is expected to be a scratch come game time... Following their loss in the 50th Labour Day Classic in Regina, Burke said he needed to review the video before naming his starting quarterback for the annual Banjo Bowl rematch. He has decided to give Justin Goltz another go for his fourth career professional start. cheap jerseys . The Jets are 1-2-1 against Nashville this year despite outscoring the Predators 11-10.

Cheap Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys . First reported by FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal, its unknown if the impetus for the deferral proposal came from players or management, but it never left the preliminary stages.ST. LOUIS -- Julius Randle had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Aaron Harrison finished with 18 points and No. 8 seed Kentucky held on to beat Kansas State 56-49 on Friday night to earn a date with top-seeded Wichita State in the NCAA tournament. The preseason No. 1, Kentucky (25-10) is finally starting to live up to the expectations that came with its heralded recruiting class. John Caliparis bunch nearly knocked of Florida in the SEC title game last week and seemed to carry that momentum right into the Scottrade Center. Now, the question is whether it will continue on Sunday. The Shockers, on the top line of the Midwest Region, rolled over Cal Poly to improve to 35-0. Marcus Foster had 15 points, Shane Southwell scored 11 and Thomas Gipson finished with 10 for Kansas State (20-13), which started in a 1-0 hole after a technical for a dunk in pregame warm-ups. The No. 9 seed then struggled to hit from the perimeter against Kentuckys tall lineup. Kansas State was just 5 of 21 from 3-point range. Foster was 1 of 7. The victory is the start of what Kentucky hopes is an NCAA tournament of validation. The team stocked with highly recruited freshmen has been criticized for failing to live up to lofty expectations, losing several times to overmatched and undermanned opponents. Of course, all of that becomes moot when the NCAA tournament begins. Kentucky has won 21 of its last 22 games to open the dance, when the lights are brightest and the games mean the most. Meanwhile, Kansas State was in troouble even before its tournament began.dddddddddddd. Sophomore walk-on Brian Rohleder, who played only 31 minutes all season, earned a technical foul for that pre-game dunk. NCAA rules prohibit dunking with less than 20 minutes until tip, and Rohleders dunk came with 19:58 showing on the clock. Andrew Harrison made one of two free throws while fans from both schools showered the officials with derision, and Kentucky led 1-0 when the game finally started. The SEC tournament runner-up built on its advantage through the opening minutes, the Harrison twins each knocking down a series of outside shots. Kentucky pushed the lead to 29-17 with 2:23 to go on Randles basket, but Kansas State answered with six straight points to end the half. Bruce Webers team trimmed the lead to 35-33, only for Kentucky to regain control when Southwell was hit with a technical for arguing a no-call on a drive to the basket. Kentucky stretched its lead to 44-36 midway through the second half, and whenever its rival Wildcats threatened to get closer, Randle was there to answer the call. The bruising forward stuck back a miss to make it 46-38 with 8:02 remaining, converted a three-point play a few minutes later, and then scored again at the rim for a 51-40 advantage. Kansas State closed to 55-49 on Fosters off-balance 3-pointer with 24 seconds to go. But a team that replaced most of its key players from a season ago and defied expectations all year eventually ran out of time on its comeback bid. ' ' '
