That is how members wanted it. There have been very few complaints until now. In order to change it, there would have to be some kind of a want or need to do it. Correct. Most people, those that commented anyway, did not like multiple threads.

A fair bit of special times, skeleton drills (which, you know, hard to get excited about). Guys that stood out to me: Santiago- Explosive on returns. I expect him to rip a long one off next week. Ran the ball well in drills. Augustine- Running and catching he looks quick and smooth Whitehead- catching everything and he can turn a dig route into 50 yard gain. Dale Warren- I saw him bust up a few plays I the back field McCallister- He moves so well for a guy that big, I hope he shows well in the games and sticks around. Matt Hazel- got deep a few times and made some nice catches Not Booch level analysis. But in my defence it was bloody early for a Saturday
May 25, 20196 yr comment_393353 Training camp, bomber news, cfl news is good signings/cuts/depth chart locked thread would be nice
May 25, 20196 yr Author comment_393356 Right now, what I can see is the need to end the “off season threads, Bombers and CFL” and have the beginning of the 2019 season. It’s on baby!
May 25, 20196 yr comment_393359 Odds and Sods.....warming up. Even though I may have run out of droll things to say.....

But in my defence it was bloody early for a Saturday McAllister was a guy I was pumped we signed..looks like a young Jefferson and is very quick off the edge from what I saw but also used some nice inside moves so not a one trick pony..sure hope we PR him as I pretty sure he would accept as he wants to get his career going..and as it sits now no room on roster other than if a couple injuries happen which is bad news all around Agree on Whitehead.. if he gets a crack or a seem he's gone..he's got the unique ability to explode to full speed in a couple strides

Learning from our guys may help him take the next step. I should add that I actually feel bad for Larry Rose III I think he has had a good camp when I've seen him, but it is a stacked position and he is American. Hopefully he lands on another team if not here
May 26, 20196 yr comment_393371 I'm super interested to see the preseason game. This may be the most hype we've had ever for our new recruits McAllister, Richardson, Santiago, Whitehead, Bailey, Oliveira are guys that have consistently stood out in TC. I'm probably missing a couple guys too.

May 26, 20196 yr Author comment_393386 Day 7 Recap More involvement by Andrew Harris. They’re working him in slowly. Harris has been working closely with fellow Oak Park alum Brady Oliveira, as the club’s second-round draft pick gets his introduction to pro football. “He’s definitely showing he can play. He’s a big guy, he’s quick and fast and what’s most impressive is how he attacks the meeting rooms. Right from Day 1 I told him he can sit beside me and so I communicate with him throughout meetings quite a bit.” The Bombers added two import offensive lineman Saturday in Jamar McGloster and Israel Helms, while releasing OL Frank Sutton and DL Evan Perrizo. “They’re guys we like that we wanted to take a look at that just became available,” said head coach Mike O’Shea of McGloster and Helms. “There was a push by the NFL to sign some guys and bring them into camps and so when they become available is always hit and miss. We’ve got a couple of guys that are nicked up, too, so in order to practice efficiently and give the guys the appropriate amount of reps you’ve got to bring other guys in.” Additionally, the club has placed guard/tackle Manase Foketi on the veteran exempt list. Foketi, who was expected to give the team the option to start three Americans on the OL, has not been in camp. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/05/25/notes-camp-day-7-recap/?utm_source=dlvr.it
May 26, 20196 yr comment_393388 Lol... oh the irony... I came to the “training camp” thread to read news on training camp (surprise, surprise)... and I have to sift through 4 pages of people complaining about the lack of micro threads.... anyways... according to the day 1 roster sheet, Frank Sutton was the “other” #57 at camp... and he’s now gone...

May 26, 20196 yr comment_393406 Would love to hear that Gray is getting RT reps since Foketi is not here...

Played for Mike Riley at Nebraska, almost exclusively at right guard until his senior season when he switched to centre. Gives the Bombers a good interior option if any of the Canadians get hurt or they want to go 3 imports on the OL.
