We really need a 50/50 guy. Hopefully he's a guy that continues to impress since the highly touted other big man couldn't make the grade.

Madden Create-A-Players are leaking into the real world.

Every time the Riders lose an angel gets its wings.

Winnipeg Blue BombersBlue Bombers Training Camp | Day 9 - Winnipeg Blue BombersDay after day after day during Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp one scene has repeated over and over again: receiver Christian Frederickson making at least one ‘Oh, wow’ reception. “He’s done extre Definitely intrigued now about Fredrickson... At that size, generally, if he was any good he'd be in The League... But I'm definitely cheering for him.

The camp coverage has been bad for years, media coverage is even worse. The only guy who asks tough questions is the one guy who shouldn’t (Friesen) and the rest of them just lob softballs. Looking forward to seeing some preseason action to see who stands out but not going to read much into it either. I’d like to see Burrell, Fletcher, Fredericksen, Pace, Addison as newcomers who seem like they could at least be something. Curious to see Nuer and Daniels in game situations too, they don’t strike me as the types to pop in practice. Overall, just excited to have football back.

The coverage for training camp has gotten to embarrassingly terrible levels. Just a few fluff pieces, and some individual mentions of nice plays. It would be nice to actually see some actual write ups of what is going on.

I've boarded the hype train

I watched the livestream off the Centennial Cup website ($18!!) rather than subscribe to TSN+ and was loving watching my town represented at the national level, and winning it all too. Really liked the "live check-ins" to the local Smitty's in Niverville and seeing a lot of familiar faces on my computer screen chugging the brews cheering on the Nighthawks. I have to admit I haven't followed them very much but will try to be more active next year, including trying to take in a few games in Niverville when I am out. Great job Nighthawks! According to people I've talked to, the party hasn't stopped since yesterday lol....

A real champ over achiever. I loved that guy, soo much heart and just played his ass off. You can really see that trend in our D too. Smith, shay, ayers, and woodbey for starters. We have some other big dbs who are sam tweeners too. The secondary and second level have soo many guys that are modular and can play many roles from many alignments. The athleticism of our canadian defensive back ups is really tremendous too. We’ve gone from those guys being the outliers and massive luxuries to that being the barrier for entry. Most all the those candian D subs are not just athletic outliers, but they are tough nasty hard nosed football players. Not just pile of cross over athletes trying to make a go of it. That versatile athletic canadian defensive back up core, is going to be a major back bone to our defensive success this year and going forward.

My first time I’ve paid much attention to preseason camp - figured Stuart would atleast generated some local attention but the Daniels thing seems to have dominated the media circuit - been crickets on Stuart - nothing from Tait or other local media? TSN and 3down both had him as a top 25 prospect in a NCAA dominated draft class. (Not trying to over hype him but he obviously needs some help in the publicity department!! lol) Some good audio from 3down on the first few minutes of in his YouTube film for anyone looking for tidbits on the talent pool at camp. Prospect film

Brilliant strategy to avoid playing against him this year - sign him knowing if he's playing for us this year, he would immediately get hurt.

Stuart has soo much upside, sam/lber body with the athleticism and raw tools to run with wrs and cover. I’d love to have him on the ar early to play teams and develop as an actual db. He was a great sleeper pick. Idk if we’d have to hide him. teams don’t usually poach rookie drafted canadians if you pr em. idr the last pr poach at all. Pressure should be on both hallett and kelly. Ball really over achieved last year and had some flashes. Kid plays his heart out.

You mean Juran Bolden 2.0

same with Chijoke Onyenegecha. I am just kidding, I just wanted to bring that name back for poops and giggles...

Aqua done....one good song? the entire Aquarium Album screams 90s (I actually do prefer listening to the rest of the tracks over Barbie Girl)

woo hoo football!!! For pre-season I'm pretty impressed with the quality. Just so happy to be watching my favorite sport, even if its two teams I despise. 👍

Denmark was so smooth in his route running. Just got open.

No doubt...most of us were looking him up on the roster page wondering if he was even in camp..lol

It's the crown jewel of the sovereign republic of alberta

Probably the best example of a guy who flew under the radar of posters but turned into a ******* good player is Clarence Denmark.

I like that he can play any of the Line Backer positions and Safety.

Agree - He won both agility drills at the cfl combine this year posting a 4.01 shuttle/6.82 3-cone which for a 223 lb’r is impressive.

Some sloppiness, some nice plays... Definitely pre season. Calgary stadium still an embarrassing dump. Can't believe the GC is going to showcase that place on national TV.

You should root for him - I am! Quick feet and good eyes!

Link from my nephew re camp video Stuart #7 For anyone interested. Not rooting for - just familiar with his play and think projects well.
