Aaron Kelly is the starter for right now.

O'Shea confirmed the Browning signing.

Watching the presser ... O'Shea just had an interesting response to the question about Mark Dell.

Agreed. Only Joe Mack teams start 6 rookies in week one. Look at the type of talent we went after. We didn't take the Joe Mack approach of going after strictly young, unproven talent. We went after the experienced players who have been around and have played enough football that they should be able to fit right in. Look at the names we went through this offseason with significant NFL experience. It just doesn't strike me as impressive.

I'm not saying success or failure as a whole. I'm just saying as far as the class of rookie imports goes, it's pretty underwhelming.

Agreed, aside from Paris Cotton is there any other real good import we brought in? The fact we couldn't find anyone better than a guy like Kuale bothers me. I'd say Leggett and Bruce Johnson. But that's not a good haul, considering they went through what? 50 imports?

Is it because they haven't found someone to supplant Kelly ? Any time you go into the offseason with Desia Dunn, Aaron Kelly and Greg Peach as projected starters and come out of the following training camp with it being the exact same, you've done a bad job.

If he was going on the PR, he'd be cut.

Really disappointed with our scouting this offseason, to be honest.

I think about a dozen or so. Depending on how the IR goes ... I'm expecting Cotton, Ford, Swiston, Sears and Briggs to be one-gamed, Newman to be six-gamed.

The brain is a funny thing. I've had a number of concussions too. Only knocked out cold once. Mostly hockey. I don't have any of the more serious symptoms, but light sensitivity is an issue.

We've been looking at the TSN fantasy league. It's more or less exactly what we wanted to run, so we may opt to create a private group in that. We'll probably decide over the weekend.

****** kids

One thread for all the roster cut talk makes sense. I would expect they will be released within the next 2 hours, O'Shea is doing a live presser at 10:30.

You know ... this is actually a fairly overlooked idea by fans. Fitzgerald could definitely be a guy who takes snaps as a receiver if needed.

Senior year in college

No kidding.

Now that training camp is over and done with, we will be drawing for a gift card to the Bomber Store tomorrow. If you gave a report at any time during training camp on what you saw while you attended, you've been given an entry (each time) so check back tomorrow to see if you've won. Thanks again to everyone who provided their insights throughout camp!

Interesting news a day before cuts. Louisiana-Monroe QB Kolton Browning has been signed.

2001 was my first season as a season ticket holder (I would have been 11 at the beginning of the season) and that play still stands out. I was a huge Bruce fan growing up because of that play. I remember Gordon getting clobbered too, I think. I remember him jumping up to catch the ball and getting undercut. Landed hard. Held on.

GCn is right, there probably isn't a mutual interest because of scheme.

Aside from Shologan, mbrg is right, those are all "grass is greener" type guys. Phillips, Gott, Fraser and Eppele are all bandaids and if we don't value guys like Watson because of health issues, those guys should be judged similarly.

Not a bad receiver, just not a very good one and that's why I don't want him being a starter. I'd rather start Feoli Gudino.

Hmmm.... Wonder if anyone has called Messam a steal other than you? (I'd guess no one, but I'm not about to go through 7 pages of comments to find out) I wonder if any team has worse NI depth than the Bombers? Haaaaaaaaave you met Edmonton? Ottawa is questionable. Hell, even BC is questionable. Luckily for them, they have Harris but their Canadian depth is bad bad bad.

There was a very hard fought competition.
