Main Camp Day 3 (Reports and Discussion)
I don't hate him, I just don't think he's what you hope for out of an import receiver. A new scouting staff should be able to produce better than that.

They should get that dude they had on the panel on the night of the CFL Draft Mr. Personality!

New Bombers coach O'Shea doing everything possible to control the message
Have to say, I'm a little disappointed in Penton. Sean Oleksewycz @seanoleksewycz @PentonKirk @mike_wpg i know that bama head coach nick saban does that same thing at bama... Cant argue with that guy Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz We're talking about professional sports organizations MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz NCAA coaches are professionals and that's what you're talking about - coaches. No difference. Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @mike_wpg No, I'm talking about pro sports versus college sports. They're big boys who can handle themselves MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz so you're implying NCAA coaches aren't "big league" compared to CFL? and they can't handle themselves?

Penton is trying to claim NOBODY does it.

The only one we're likely to hear about is Goossen because he's new and shiny

Exactly. The team has become far more friendly and Friesen is still shitting on them for adopting a policy that is used by almost half the league. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he said he didn't like the policy as opposed to acting as if it's an incredible mistake.

Why is it that you ALWAYS side with the media? If a coach does something the media doesn't like, he's picking a fight? Why couldn't it just once be that the media is behaving inappropriately?

Farhan would be my choice for sure.

Hey gbill ... have you watched the DL much? If so, how you feeling about Tate / Nzegwu?
-
Main Camp Day 2 (Reports and Discussion)
Pretty sure if you read between the lines, the word he left out was "majestic". Or "remarkablicious" One of those. EDIT: or what he said maybe, I dunno.

Tate will surprise you.

[MERGED] Bombers sign RB Kevin Smith
I can't figure out what he's talking about half the time and I certainly wouldn't expect much from him, but it does certainly seem as if he may be for real this time. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.

[MERGED] Bombers sign RB Kevin Smith
Me thinks Travon Jones is FINALLY gonna show up in camp for the Bombers.

Main Camp Day 2 (Reports and Discussion)
Can't imagine a scenario where Desia Dunn is on the field while Demond Washington and Ian Wild are on the bench. I know he got a lot better as the year went on last year but Dunn still holds the record for worst preseason performance I've ever seen. I honestly thought they were ready to cut him by halftime in the home preseason game last year.

I'd bring Brett Carter back for sure.

Follow us on Twitter @MorningBigBlue
Two things about the Twitter feed to update you all on lately .. - If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the feed and RT our daily tweet for an entry into our gift card draw - Also just want to apologize to everyone here for what some may call the "shameless plugging" we've been doing. I try to balance it with information, but the more traffic we get, the better it is for all of us because we can keep giving free stuff away. So if you're bothered by the whole "follow us/RT us" schtick, my apologies. Hopefully it won't happen too often.

Second day ... here's what is floating out there already -- Briggs is back practicing -- Goodrich, Watson and Brescacin all not practicing, Goodrich is on crutches. -- Bob Wylie is back

Bob Wylie & OL coaching staff
Wylie booked for coaching clinics through Football University every weekend this month. Not sure if he will show to all of them, but he was advertised for the one this weekend and he went so ... take from that what you will.

Ted Laurent expected to sign with Ticats
I'm going out on a limb here ... if Evan Gill plays in the CFL, it will be in Winnipeg. I can see us trading a 2016 second rounder for him this time next year.
-
Ted Laurent expected to sign with Ticats
Do you see any of those guys as upgrades over Thomas/Lucas? Bulcke and Hazime definitely are, Atkinson is impossible to tell and might not be a fit in our D but he rates well as a prospect.
-
Ted Laurent expected to sign with Ticats
This really should result in a pretty decent Canadian DT being cast aside by Hamilton. Unless they plan on keeping Atkinson, Bulcke, Hazime AND Laurent.
-

Hamilton isn't messing around. They sure have some formidable Canadian talent.

Rookie Camp Day 3 (Reports and Discussion)
So does Carl Volny (and Poblah/Muamba while they were here) Vega did one too prior to leaving and I can easily see him, Turner and Anderson starting one up again.
-
Depth Chart
What I like is that it doesn't seem to be a question of Neufeld being ready for RT, it seems to be a question of Goossen being ready at center. If Goossen is ready, it'll roll changes throughout the entire depth chart. Suddenly there wouldn't be a need for Ryan Lucas at DT and Zach Anderson can retake ownership of that spot.

Bob Wylie & OL coaching staff
Christ you're on top of things. I was just about to post this and you beat me to it lol I didn't know Charbonneau was on our staff, but I like it a lot. He's been a guest coach for us before (when Wylie was our OL coach last time) and I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he used to coach for the St. James Rods program before he went to the NCAA.
