The Blue Bombers have won a lot over the past four seasons , but have twice come up short in the biggest game of the year. Winnipeg’s offensive line is missing right tackle Jermarcus Hardrick, the league’s runner-up for most outstanding lineman last season, after he signed a big-money contract with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Fellow OL starter Geoff Gray was also a victim of the cash crunch.
Oliveira missed training camp with an undisclosed injury, but O’Shea expects him to be ready for Thursday’s opener. “ to see how well we can communicate, build a chemistry with the guys who stepped in for those guys and how dynamic we can still be,” Jefferson said of the defence.“Then come in this year and it’s your time to basically showcase that and try to put your best foot forward again,” Jefferson said.Winnipeg’s special teams could be its Achilles heel.
