The Bomber quarterbacking will be spotty at best with all the ins and outs. I will be looking for the Oline to be waaay better, for Harris to crack off a couple of good runs and our linebackers and Dline to make life miserable for whoever the Als put behind their center.
Willy will prolly be solid. The first series will be scripted and the first after half after which hell prolly be out. Then the back ups will prolly flood in.

do we have a practice today?

I get the concept that Macho was miscast last year and I'm willing to concede that maybe Richie can recreate Macho's 2014 performance. My only problem is he wasn't just bad last year, he was absolutely terrible.
I'm willing to give him a chance, though. I don't have high expectations but hey, let's see him bring it.
I think we are all holding our breath that macho isnt this years kuale.

Glenn and Nichols are pocket passers who can move the ball but can't get it done. Pretty fair comparison. Except Glenn is better.
Just step back for a second... Nichols was 5-2 to start the season with EDM and was traded for a 7th round pick. You think Hervey was just being nice?
Anyway, we'll find out soon enough
Glenn is a short scrambler who moves the pocket and cant see over the OL, needs passing lanes, has to rely on zip and release timing. He is prone to turn overs in the clutch. Nichols stands tall in the pocket, doesnt look to scramble or roll or move the pocket. Doesnt get happy feet. he has arm strength to make any of the throws. Glenn is a scramble to throw guy, which creates turn overs if you dont set your feet and have great body control. Glenn is also prone to fumbling. nichols is not. Glenn was also a league MVP. the nichols trade was considered high way robbery and still is. Nichols was also statistically better last year then glenn.

Where are you getting these numbers from? He was only here half a season...
All I see in Nichols is total inconsistency - big game then no game then big game... and is guaranteed to throw one or two gifts each game - hope I'm wrong.
Poor man's Kevin Glenn.
And he was playing in edmonton before that... He certainly doesnt throw up multiple gift balls a game. Its also hard to be consistent with in consistent play time and then coming here to play on a terrible offense. In games where he made 20 completions or more his production is actually very good. Only one bad game for him in that stretch but when your down and having to try and get a major every series because the game is half in the bag soo quickly it ruins any chance of getting first downs and putting a drive together. Glenn is a terrible comparison to nichols style and tool set. Jason maas early days AC etc. He isnt the guy whose going to move the pocket, or has to rely on release time to compensate for arm strength, and hes been pretty healthy.

Am I missing something here? Sounds like Willy is just having an 'okay' camp and Nichols is over-throwing receivers left and right... now they are Khari and Glenn?! Reviews are mixed on Bennett and Davis...
Every year we over-estimate our QB depth... seems like yesterday that Buck and Jyles were the new Khari/Glenn
I'd really like to see Cato or Crompton end up on the roster when they shake loose, both are better than Nichols.
didnt say they are khari and glenn. said this is the strongest 1,2 weve had at qb since then. Though keep in mind when we had both glenn and khari, jones was allready done. Like i Said out defence is crazy deep. So when our team 2 off in on the field and team 2 def, the d has a huge advantage. TC isnt a big evaluation tool for qbs. Especially for veteran qbs. Its for shaking the rust off and learning a new system. Weve had plenty of guys who look great in practise and tc and cant turn that into good game production. Nichols threw for 3245/19/60% with a banged up OL, little running game, and the worst offensive play calling / system this team has seen in a decade. That production is a good bit more then both crompton and cato combined. Not to mention crompton looked awful last year. Sure they got more potential, but in a no2 qb you wan a vet who can step in and run the offense in a pinch. And thats what we have.

I'm going to say this without going out on a limb.
I believe the QBs currently lining up behind Drew Willy on the depth chart, put us wayy ahead of those QBs that were in TC last year.
I dont think weve had a top 2 this strong since khari and glenn.

Ok thanks! Other than Nichols, haven't heard much about the back up QB's this year. Anyone pushing Nichols for the #2 spot?
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.

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.

Why was Williams released? was he hurt?
they just added him. cut vernon kearny and duron singleton. Cant wait to see what williams does in camp.

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.

more roster shuffling.
http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/06/05/197092/
added imp wr Fred Williams, imp de Andrew Robinson, and imp dl Emmanuel Dieke. cut Imp lber Duron Singleton, and Imp db Vernon Kearney.

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?

the front 7 in general looks real good so far.
