Ti-Cat training camp starts this week

The wait is almost over. Now it’s time for football - real football!

After an endless series of changes, the sort of changes you need when your team only wins 3 contests a season, Obie’s latest group of future stars is ready to start training for the new CFL season. While every area of the squad has been renewed, most notably the O-line with the addition of veteran all-stars like Dan Goodspeed and Alex Gauthier from the Blue-Bomber meltdown and top Canadian draft choice Simeon Rottier, the big area of interest has to be the QB position.

The Quarterback saga from November 2008 up until now:

Casey Printers is gone, unwanted by any other CFL team, and the expectation is that the Quinton Porter era is about to start. However, always quick to exploit new Winnipeg boss Mike Kelly, Obie was able to bring in 2007 mvp Kevin Glenn as a super-sub potential alternative starter. Richie Williams got showed the door, consistent with his lack of playing time under the Bellefeuille regime at the end of 2008.  The team also signed journeyman QBs Josh Betts and Erik Meyer but they have already been cut in favour of NCAA Division 3 Mr everything, Jason Boltus. The expectation is that Rice star QB Chase Clement will also be coming up to compete. Last but not least, 2008 third stringer Adam Tafralis is still around.

May the best player win.
