WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are working on rebuilding their depleted receiving corps this season, but veteran Clarence Denmark says the building blocks are all there. Air Max 2017 Sale .The whole corps this year is probably one of the best since Ive been here, he said Monday after the second day of training camp.Denmark is entering his fifth season with the Bombers and led the teams receivers with 900 yards in 2013 as Terrence Edwards missed several games due to injury and the previous seasons leader, Chris Matthews, hardly played at all.It was a tough season all around for the Bombers as a series of quarterbacks failed to get the offence going and they finished last in the CFL at 3-15.As the team looked to rebuild, the Bombers traded Canadian receiver Jade Etienne to Saskatchewan for quarterback Drew Willy and Kito Poblah to the B.C. Lions for defensive back Korey Banks. On the import side, Edwards retired and Matthews moved on to the NFL.Edwards, who spent seven of his 10 CFL seasons with the Bombers, is going to be missed, said Denmark.We just have to step up and fill those shoes. Terrence is a great guy and a great teacher and just being behind him all those years and watching him, how you prepare for the game, how he is in meetings, was a good experience.To help fill the gap, the team picked up some proven import talent in free agent Nick Moore from B.C. and have other promising players in camp like six-foot-six Mario Urruttia.But they also need to bolster their Canadian talent base and head coach Mike OShea said it would be ideal to return to the same ratio they had of Canadians and imports.To have some sort of consistency in that regard would be ideal (as) it allows you to work on other areas, he said. Once again, its Day 2 of training camp and it doesnt always work out that way.While he said they believe they can start two Canadian receivers, a key to maintaining that number is their ability able to function on special teams.We have to get them in a game in special teams also, he said. Special teams are a huge part of our game especially for backups — especially for Canadian backups. They need to be able to take pride in that and work and get the job done.Winnipeg already has Cory Watson and Rory Kohlert on its roster and theyve been joined at camp by prospects Taylor Renaud and Julian Feoli-Gundino. Renaud is from Winnipeg and this is his second camp. The Blue Bombers released receiver Jordan Brescacin of Tecumseh, Ont., and signed Winnipegs Brett Carter on Monday.Denmark says the competition at the receiver position is going to be tough but hes looking to crack the 1,000-yard mark this season. He knows Moore has already proven he can do that, after a breakout 2013 in B.C. that saw him hit 1,105 yards and rank third in the league.Its possible therell be two of us up there in the 1,000-yard range this year, he said.By joining the Bombers, meanwhile, Moore has reconnected with Willy and is looking forward to playing on the same team with him. They trained together, prepared for the NFL draft together and kept in touch after they went undrafted in 2009.Were going to come out and work every day and get on the same page, he said.Hes looking to build on his success in B.C., when he finally had the playing time needed to bring it all together.It felt like it was coming together and also a sense of comfortableness, he said. Being out there. Knowing the quarterback, the quarterback knowing you, knowing youre going to be at the right spot at the right time. Air Max 200 Sale . Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap.

The world No 1 will go head-to-head with Anderson, the reigning world champion and Premier League title holder, on night 11 in Belfast, live on Sky Sports 1.Van Gerwen emerged with a convincing 7-3 win when the pair played earlier in the campaign and believes his recent title wins have justified his status as the top player in the sport. Its fantastic that he won those trophies because they are the most important ones, but at this moment its not about the past, its about the future. Michael van Gerwen on Gary Anderson Why do I need to make a statement? I think after the World Championship Im playing better darts at the moment, said Van Gerwen.I won the Masters, the UK Open, Im higher than him in the rankings and I just need to do my own thing.Its fantastic that he won those trophies because they are the most important ones, but at this moment its not about the past, its about the future. Gary Anderson has raised his game against Van Gerwen in the past Anderson is hoping to put his play-off push back on track after a 7-3 defeat to Phil Taylor and has suggested that Van Gerwen still has plenty of work to do if he wants to surpass the achievements of The Power.Last week, against Phil didnt go to plan but I always enjoy playing Michael, said Anderson. Hes pushing everyone else at the moment and hes been brilliant this year, theres no doubt about that.Hes a fantastic player and what hes doing on the dartboard at the moment is tremendous - but people have got to remember that Phil Taylors been doing this for 25 years or so. Michaels been doing this for two or three years so hes got a long way to go yet. Phil Taylor suffered an opening night defeat to Raymond van Barneveld Taylor has opened a three-point lead at the top of the table, but is wary of a backlash from Raymond van Barneveld. Air Jordan Sale. The Dutchman dished out a defeat to his old rival on night one, but has struggled since then and badly needs two wins from his matches against Taylor and Robert Thornton.I know Barneys going to play well because hes a wounded tiger, said Taylor.Hes a cracking player and he puts his heart on his sleeve and tries his hardest; he puts everything into it. Taylor and Van Barneveld produced a dramatic Premier League match in 2007 Looking back on his opening-night defeat, Taylor added: I think Rays done me a favour, it gave me the kick I needed.At the time, I was playing really well, I thought I was going to thrash him but I didnt and he beat me. I wasnt playing well enough and I had to get back on the practice board - if it wasnt for him I could have been miles in front [in the table]!Watch all of the Premier League action from night 11 in Belfast, starting at 7pm on Sky Sports 1.
