Oh, and I agree with MOBomber Fan about Max Hall.... he looked good, definitely coming out strong as the back up or even pushing Willy

I showed up for the 11:05 session.... I was kinda trying to watch a little of everything so I didn't pick up on too much specifically.... The crowd was pretty thin.... I recall much bigger numbers in previous years.... a few observations: -Drew Willy looks strong and accurate -Jordan Yantz can throw as well as anyone, didn't look too out of place -A lot of big, athletic D-linemen should hopefully make life tough for opposing QBs -Turner, Anderson, Vega look great. I believe I saw Ryan Lucas in street clothes not practicing, but there's been no injury reports that I know of -Aaron Kelly looked to be running nice routes and catching everything -Bucknor looks like he belongs in the secondary (from only seeing him in a couple plays) Overall pretty positive...which is the usual for the first day of TC... probably just the euphoria of being around football again!

I was at the fan fest getting my tickets today and it was a great atmosphere... does anyone know if there will be an actual training camp tomorrow?? It felt amazing to be at the stadium under the sun and I'm getting amped for football season to start! I'm only about a 30 minute walk from the stadium so I may go either way... but I'd hate to walk there and see there's nothing happening

I remember when he started on CKND, man I feel old. Me too I remember when you watched CKND on channel 12 and the dial on the TV only went up to 13. I don't think you have to be that old to remember that... I remember those days and I'm still a safe distance from 30...

Penton is good, but I really don't like reading the Sun... that would be nice if he jumped ship to the freep...

I wouldn't hold my breath on Mulumba... perhaps Mr Perfect knows a thing or 2 about Mulumba's status... I'd think Muamba would be more likely (not counting on it though).... as for this idea of bringing back Hefney.... never, ever, ever should that thought even be entertained.... if every DB currently on our roster suffers season ending in camp I'd rather sign a bunch of new rookies....

There are guys in this camp who are likely to be just as good as Matthews Maybe but if Matthews becomes available I still want the Bombers to do their best to resign him. The Bombers should learn from the past... I don't want Matthews to be the next Geroy Simon. Bombers found him goes to the NFL then back to the CFL and made a HOF career for different team. In fairness we did make a healthy offer to Geroy when he came back to the CFL but BC offered more... so it was simple economics for him not lack of effort by us...

A strong-arm QB is fun to watch.... we haven't had a QB that combines strong arm with an actual ability to play since Khari so it's nice to see a guy with potential.... when we see him play on June 9 his role will start to become more clear...

If I could 'like' this 100 times I would!!

This is based on one practice. How many times we see a guy look solid in practice only to stink in game time. They have a lot more time looking at Brohm and if they didn't like him they wouldn't of traded for him. Marve only makes third string if he plays fantastic in the pre season games and Brohm shits the bed. No way Hall loses backup to Marve unless he gets hurt. The team isn't going to go with zero experience at back up. I'm willing to put money on that. Marve is the project guy who will only see the field in the reg season if we get injuries or we are killing a team or being hammered. I don't disagree with you but I was just supporting the other poster who said guys will earn time based solely on play, not past credentials.... especially at QB... I also think Marve would have to be beyond fantastic to beat out Hall.... but if he consistently plays better than Brohm over the next 3 weeks, he may be in line for the 3rd string spot...

the point is you can have all the credentials in the world but if you don't show up on the field it means nothing.... If Marve shows much better than Hall and Brohm then I'd have no objection to him being #2

I don't put too much stock in the depth chart in May.... guys like Ian Wild and Zach Anderson are too good to be back-ups.... I think the one thing that sticks out to me is Neufeld at RT, I think that's where he'll be day one....

Wylie's put on a ton? I wouldn't have thought that was possible... unless you're talking about an addition to his legendary moustache!

I'm denied access from my work computer.... I'll join, eventually

I don't think there's much harm in running some routes and tossing the ball around... I realize there's injury potential just making cuts and such, but I don't think these guys are gonna push it to the limit... just get to know each other and build some chemistry, have some fun

Congratulations... looking forward to the contests!

It seems to me MLSE owning the Argos is probably the best-case scenario... but in the long-run would an owner who cares about the team be more beneficial?... Maybe Rob Ford can take some photos of himself on the pipe, sell those photos to some tabloid magazine, and buy the team himself...

The old version was embarrassingly out of date... I'm no techie but I can tell the difference between a bad website and a good one... this is much improved...

I hope you're right but we're still thin at Rec and O-line is obviously a big question mark.... On the defensive side we definitely have a lot of talented DBs coming to camp but no real NI upgrades in the front 7... hopefully I'm proved wrong!

I don't think it's a complete waste of time... first of all, from what I saw from Yantz last year (I'll admit it was limited) he is a pretty skilled kid... skilled enough to play at the CFL level? maybe not.... but certainly good enough to learn a thing or two from some professional coaches and players and take it back to improve the bisons this season.... so if all he really gets is a chance to improve at the CIS level and help the Bisons that can still be a valuable experience for him. I think I agree with most that some kind of QB development program for NI QBs would be nice to see...

It was well publicized that Mike Morreale met with Dee Smith (NFLPA) and Don Fehr (NHLPA) on several occasions to get advice on how to handle this negotiation... Maybe he was kicked out for being too smart

It's truly amazing. It's like they think the fans are completely unfamiliar with the CFL. Every time Flory speaks he pushes my loyalty further towards the owners. We need to keep in mind that firing coaches and management costs the Bombers money? Gee, thanks Flory. So you're suggesting that we should still have Kelly around? Go shove a pineapple up your arse. That does it. I honestly truly wanted the players to reap some benefits this time around but I'm done with them. Flory is an imbecile. For all I care they can continue to play under the exact same terms as the old CBA. Screw their raise. Flory can stop insulting our intelligence. He can stop trying to carefully shape crap into facts because he's terrible at it. All he ever needed to say is that many of the players are underpaid for the jobs they do because that's true. That might be the only true thing that's come out of his mouth in the last month. Jackass. I don't think I've grown quite as sour as you... yet.... but I do believe the players deserve a raise... maybe something along the lines of the very fair deal the CFL offered when they went public last week... a bigger initial bump in the cap would be ok too.

Are Peterson and Prince both Imports? Seems like we have a lot of import tackles on the roster... I'm also assuming that OL + Imp = OT

I saw them at a Coop in Regina a couple years ago.... summer 2012 I believe
