Saddled with a 4-9 record, it goes without saying the Winnipeg Blue Bombers need help.
They need a better running game. They need more consistent place-kicking. They need a better pass rush and a better run defence. And, good Lord, do they ever need a better offensive line — still.
But one thing the Bombers don’t need — perhaps the only thing they don’t need — is another linebacker on a team already enviably deep at the position.
With the addition of Ian Wild last week, the team is so deep in linebackers head coach Mike O’Shea mused Tuesday that he might yet have to unveil a never before seen front-seven formation just to get all his talented linebackers some playing time.
