Day 4 kicks off ... anyone in attendance?

I don't hate him, I just don't think he's what you hope for out of an import receiver. A new scouting staff should be able to produce better than that. And from the reports in which we can take with a grain of salt it appears Kelly is excelling over most of the new guys. Should we be pleased that Kelly is stepping up or do we look at this as a red flag at our recruiting ability? Could be any number of things. Maybe he got better. Maybe he's not actually doing as well as fans think. It'll take us game action to know for sure.

Like 1.5 a week I think.

They should get that dude they had on the panel on the night of the CFL Draft Mr. Personality!

Have to say, I'm a little disappointed in Penton. Sean Oleksewycz @seanoleksewycz @PentonKirk @mike_wpg i know that bama head coach nick saban does that same thing at bama... Cant argue with that guy Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz We're talking about professional sports organizations MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz NCAA coaches are professionals and that's what you're talking about - coaches. No difference. Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @mike_wpg No, I'm talking about pro sports versus college sports. They're big boys who can handle themselves MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz so you're implying NCAA coaches aren't "big league" compared to CFL? and they can't handle themselves?

Penton is trying to claim NOBODY does it.

The only one we're likely to hear about is Goossen because he's new and shiny

Exactly. The team has become far more friendly and Friesen is still shitting on them for adopting a policy that is used by almost half the league. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he said he didn't like the policy as opposed to acting as if it's an incredible mistake.

Why is it that you ALWAYS side with the media? If a coach does something the media doesn't like, he's picking a fight? Why couldn't it just once be that the media is behaving inappropriately?

Farhan would be my choice for sure.

Hey gbill ... have you watched the DL much? If so, how you feeling about Tate / Nzegwu?

Pretty sure if you read between the lines, the word he left out was "majestic". Or "remarkablicious" One of those. EDIT: or what he said maybe, I dunno.

Tate will surprise you.

I can't figure out what he's talking about half the time and I certainly wouldn't expect much from him, but it does certainly seem as if he may be for real this time. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.

Me thinks Travon Jones is FINALLY gonna show up in camp for the Bombers.

Can't imagine a scenario where Desia Dunn is on the field while Demond Washington and Ian Wild are on the bench. I know he got a lot better as the year went on last year but Dunn still holds the record for worst preseason performance I've ever seen. I honestly thought they were ready to cut him by halftime in the home preseason game last year.

I'd bring Brett Carter back for sure.

Two things about the Twitter feed to update you all on lately .. - If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the feed and RT our daily tweet for an entry into our gift card draw - Also just want to apologize to everyone here for what some may call the "shameless plugging" we've been doing. I try to balance it with information, but the more traffic we get, the better it is for all of us because we can keep giving free stuff away. So if you're bothered by the whole "follow us/RT us" schtick, my apologies. Hopefully it won't happen too often.

Second day ... here's what is floating out there already -- Briggs is back practicing -- Goodrich, Watson and Brescacin all not practicing, Goodrich is on crutches. -- Bob Wylie is back

Wylie booked for coaching clinics through Football University every weekend this month. Not sure if he will show to all of them, but he was advertised for the one this weekend and he went so ... take from that what you will.

I'm going out on a limb here ... if Evan Gill plays in the CFL, it will be in Winnipeg. I can see us trading a 2016 second rounder for him this time next year.

Do you see any of those guys as upgrades over Thomas/Lucas? Bulcke and Hazime definitely are, Atkinson is impossible to tell and might not be a fit in our D but he rates well as a prospect.

This really should result in a pretty decent Canadian DT being cast aside by Hamilton. Unless they plan on keeping Atkinson, Bulcke, Hazime AND Laurent.

Hamilton isn't messing around. They sure have some formidable Canadian talent.
