Sorry, I did not say that right. Why did the Chiefs release him?
thats a million dollar question. The fans and media were sure he would make the active roster at the least. They picked up a younger wr when they took him off the pr. Idk why you even sign a guy if he can tear it up like he did in that pre season and you still cut him.

First camp in a long time that it seems like they cut some guys and bring more in. I like it.
Yeah we have certainly been aggressive with roster moves in tc.
Robinson looks interesting, playing making rush end. I mean 3 blocks in one year is pretty crazy. Fred williams too, another small school dominant guy, but led the chiefs in receiving last pre season, and looks like he was really good in the afl too. These arent just your average air lift imports.

Was on the turf again with the WHSFL
Thoughts
tony burnett was all over the place, kid is a baller.
55 lit it up, 43 was very good, butcher kid meh, jake tomas is a player
5 was way way better today
0 and 7 had good days
Know u guys will hate this but macho made plays again today, if he can tackle better and have his head on straight he will be the FS
Macho was brutal as a LBer last year on the worst team in the league. Judgement should be reserved for the preseason imop. That said id like to see a rotation of canadians in the not too distant future.

Brazill? Isn't that the guy with a bunch of NFL suspensions who flamed out with the Argos two years ago?
he had one in the nfl iirc. And yeah he was on the argos pr and then active and then cut.

as long as he stays away from Henoc's agent, I would say our odds are good.
ha!
Corney is still pretty raw, but he seems like he learns very quickly and is really hard working. Idk if he's gonna be gone in 3 years but I could see him getting an nfl shot some time after that.

I am surprisd I have not heard of any hamstring injuries yet. Hammys so often seem to be a plague in training camp....
could be because it hasnt been really hot and has been over cast / cooler then normal for this time of year. I dont think ive seen 30c here yet. Pulled hammys often happen with not being properly hydrated. Which is really hard to keep up during 2 a days.

With the injuries he had in camp last year, Richards really hasn't been in game shape since playing in the CIS in the fall of 2014. There will be a lot of rust to knock off.
thats true, but wasnt he healthy all off season? we are near the end of TC and he had rookie camp. I got a pit in my stomach that hes another waste of a pick.
Roberts is a big play making db prospect im allways happy to see that kinda guy in camp.

What's the scoop on Richards?
MoS was asked about him and was really tentative but settled on hoping he was just skill rusty from having been injured. Hasnt looked very good in camp.
-
Man things are getting scary with addison richards. Hearing MoS make excuses for him not feeling optimistic about that pic.

Yeah, how stupid were we? We signed Dressler & could've kept Moore. Dressler is so done.
post hoc ergo propter hoc. Can you quote where moore was mentioned? Or that dressler was done? Must have missed that part im sure you didnt just jump to some crazy conclusion and miss the point entirely...

Even if you aren't developing a players skill and only implementing your coaching scheme, you still have to be able to teach them that scheme.
If you can't teach your scheme in a way all players can understand, you aren't a good coach.
true in 99% of situations. Some guys are incredibly lacking in ability to learn systems. When tee martin was in his last days here i remember him saying he still wasnt used to the 3 down thing. That said the true worth of a teacher isnt how well they teach their best students, its how well they are able to teach the ones that struggle the most.

This deserves a quote:
Mmmm thats very interesting indeed. Wylies credentials as an OL coach are as good as they come. Not to mention im all in favor of blaming marcel lol.
Makes me think about our coaching staff and front office though. Every one who follows the cfl knew he was running an awful offense. Im sure MoS and the front office knew that as well, and would have known that he was not on the same page as every one else. Why did it take soo long to get rid of him? Are we now going to keep any one hired till the end of their contract like the steelers?

Yes, I went back and checked out his stats. I certainly remember him having a larger impact. Funny how that's clouded.
Wonder what would have happened if he could have stayed healthy.
That's another reason Henoc is wasting his career, IMO, sitting on the sidelines. An injury could end everything tomorrow and he's missing key earning time. When his football career is over, he can focus on other pursuits, but now is the time to earn, baby, earn.
to be fair, he butchered us a couple times so it skews things a bit. If he would have stayed healthy and gotten heavy reps in those couple years early on im sure he would have been a 1500+ yards double digit TDs and a sky high YPC.
To me, camp is huge for guys still adjusting to the cfl game or who dont stay in game shape in the off season. Also young guys still working on improving their craft. To a lot of established veterans I think its more psychological. Some guys dont need camp as much as others. henoc might be one of those, but I hate to see a guy sitting and waiting rather then going out and making it happen for him self. Hes trying to rest on the laurels of what he did here before going to the nfl and his physical tools. But that was a long time ago now and his tools arent getting sharper.

I'll take a guy who can do 225 reps as well. Be funny if it was a punter.
xD that would be funny. If some one is top notch and excels in any area physically they are worth a look. Lets go sign one of the nbadl guys thats been kicking around a few years. 6'8 220 lbs wr lol. But then most of those guys struggle to put up 1 rep of 185 at their combine.

Is he? At the time, he was a ratio-breaker and pretty darn good. Maybe, my memory is foggy and I'm remembering Lumsden more for his potential, rather than reality.
He was a high potential guy but never stayed healthy or came close to living up to expectations. He was a bust, showed flashes in 07 and 08 but over 6 years had dismal production. Henoc on the other hand is a ratio breaker and a big time play maker. One of the better lbers in the cfl and still young.

Injuries aside I'm reminded of Jesse Lumsden... his last year nobody wanted him until Labor day, Bombers call, it gets leaked and suddenly half the league wants to sign him.
He is dramatically better the lumsden though.

Exhibition games suck but I have to admit I'm looking very forward to watching. Football I'd football and yeah it will be tough to watch but I'll be watching both bomber preseason games
I'm not as convinced that 1290 will take over after Irving retires.Isn't cjob available throughout the entire province? I'm not sureif 1290 is. I'm not convinced that I even get 1290 50 minutes up highway 6 at my lake
cjob has a large radius, idk about size comparisons for 1290. but 680 is allways partially static for me, and ive been a good few places where its been worse.

That's why he has a street named after him, not potato chips.

Fortunately, not true...... Bowman still drops as many as he catches. It's just that every second passing play is to him. One of the most over rated guys in the league.
every other play goes to him, and they won the cup last year. I wish our players were over rated like that.

He was in an NFL camp for half of the 2014 season...
In the past two seasons, he's had Durant as his qb for one half of a game. He had 400 yards in four games with Glenn at the start of last season before Glenn got hurt and their offense went in the toilet. I guess what I'm saying is your stat is pretty misleading.
I do agree that he hasn't been the best receiver in the league over the last six seasons though.
In the other half he put up 320 yards in 9 games... remember how many qbs milt caught tds from? All of them. all of the qbs on earth. Hes a really good wr, legit go to no1 wr for the team. Im not sayin hes bad, but he sure isnt the no1 guy in the past 6 years.

doesnt seem like any qb behind willy has separated them self. even willy hasnt been lights out this camp. Though i attribute that to how deep our DB and Lbers are.
