Training camp is over and the final roster cuts have been made as teams prepare for Week 1 of the CFL season. That in mind, d_morassutti breaks down what to expect in the always-competitive West Division:
finallyEven if this season will be different from past years with only 14 games on the schedule, no pre-season and the Grey Cup being played in December, none of that will take away from the anticipation. Let’s just say the excitement for the first rouge will be justified.
Let's take a look at each of the five teams in the division and try to determine how the Wild West plays out as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers look to keep the Grey Cup just a little bit longer.Players to watch:2021 outlook: That said, not all is rosy in Regina. The Roughriders were dealt a succession of major blows before training camp even began with star linebacker Larry Dean, 2021 second-overall pick Nelson Lokombo and defensive end Freddie Bishop all suffering Achilles tendon injuries. This is a defence that has also lost Cameron Judge and Charleston Hughes to the Toronto Argonauts, but Saskatchewan hopes that Micah Johnson can be a difference maker.
The defence should receive a boost with the return of linebacker Jameer Thurman, who is back after brief stints in the NFL and XFL.
