Posted May 29, 201312 yr comment_1629 Rookie camp opens tomorrow afternoon. Share your thoughts, comments and opinions. ESPECIALLY if you're lucky enough to attend! Thanks in advance to all of those who post reports.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1648 One of the highlights of training camp for those of us who don't live in Winnipeg is reading everyones reports. Don't let me down.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1680 i think everyone is anticipating the battle at qb... That's where most eyes will be focused on.
May 29, 201312 yr Author comment_1701 One thing I'm wondering: will there be any more surprise signings tomorrow? I know we can expect two, maybe three already but I wonder if there will be more.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1716 QB is definitely the battle Iso ... I also think that DB and DL will bring some surprises. The LB core will be interesting to watch as well.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1719 Im personally not going to be so focused on the QB situation. Im more interested in the D-line and the secondary. I think if we get our Defence to where it was in 2011, have a solid run game and Great ST's with the newly aquired Craig Dickenson... We can really get something good going regardless of Bucks health. My hope is one of the guys step up to at least be adequit. I figure we can be competitive if this happens.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1720 I wonder who snags a job only to lose it to Sears when he gets healthy
May 29, 201312 yr Author comment_1722 I wonder who snags a job only to lose it to Sears when he gets healthy Good point, Sears will miss probably all of camp but you have to think he's going to be a starter when he gets back.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1724 One thing I'm wondering: will there be any more surprise signings tomorrow? I know we can expect two, maybe three already but I wonder if there will be more. Wiecek wrote last night (By: Paul Wiecek Posted: 3:20 AM http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports ... 02711.html) that we can expect as many as four new signings today. At least two we already know about: Zach Anderson and Marcus Hyde.

May 29, 201312 yr comment_1741 One of the worst things about having to live in AB for work, is missing out on camp. Love reading the individual thoughts as it's happening. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to update the site on what they see and hear!
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1745 QB is definitely the battle Iso ... I also think that DB and DL will bring some surprises. The LB core will be interesting to watch as well. Am I just getting old, forgetful and senile or did I dream of reading an article where Burke said that they've got 9 DB's in camp because he wasn't happy with the performance of the secondary last year? I can't find it but that should be an interesting battle. Also, some of the most intriguing rookies they've brought in are on the D-Line (specially Zach Anderson and Dexter Davies). Really looking forward to seeing what these guys can do.
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1753 I can't remember where but I also read burke said the same thing about dbs
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1761 I wonder who snags a job only to lose it to Sears when he gets healthy Good point, Sears will miss probably all of camp but you have to think he's going to be a starter when he gets back. TSN is indicating that Sears will be out until at least the start of the regular season. Terrence Edwards remains sidelined with a lower body injury, Tim Burke doesn’t expect him back until second pre season game. Johnny Sears will be on the shelf until at least the start of the regular season. He tore is ACL in the second to last game of 2012 and had surgery in November. All other veterans are healthy and are set to report to training camp. - TSN

May 29, 201312 yr comment_1783 I can't remember where but I also read burke said the same thing about dbs Thanks to that rather excellent Twitter feed they've got going on the LHS of the page, it just popped up: Burke also wants to improve the secondary and will give some new defensive backs a try."I didn't think our secondary played very well last year, so we brought in a lot of DBs to compete at that position,'' he said. "Certainly the guys who were here last year are going to have to play better than they played last year or they won't be here.'' http://www.cfl.ca/article/burke-champin ... -sidelines
May 29, 201312 yr comment_1899 not much room in the back of those endzones! that "controversy" was quite the tempest-in-a-teapot... looks to be plenty of room now that you see players standing in it and you can get a sense of scale.
