  4. Rookie Camp Observations - Day One

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    I got there a little late and didn't see any punting whatsoever so I can't comment on that.

    It was a typical first day of rookie camp, pretty slow paced and definitely nothing too advanced. Great to see football in any form at the new stadium.

    I thought Max Hall looked good today, very accurate. I saw him miss only one throw that I can remember during the scrimmages. Even when they are just doing drills and throwing into the net, Hall puts it in the pocket almost every time. I'd still give the edge in arm strength to Goltz but Hall looked the best out there today for my money.

    Out of the receivers, I thought Doug Pierce, Wallace Miles, Quentin McCree, and Trevor Kennedy looked fairly good. Pierce I'm happy to see play well because I didn't think his mini-camp was that great. Anderson looked like a veteran out there, as he should, but I'd still like to see him catch the ball more consistently. Good speed and nice routes though. No complaints about Michael DiCroce, he was catching the ball when he got the chance. Didn't stand out in a bad way but I wasn't watching him closely or anything.

    I'd like to see more of Carl Fitzgerald. He had a couple chances but the throws weren't great and he didn't catch them. One may have been catchable but he had the DB all over him, I think the ball came out a little late but it's hard to be sure... he may have cut off his route too early. Anyway he's a big body and looks pro-ready, at least physically. Oh yeah, they also had WR Brett Carter out from the Rifles.

    Not much else to say... the linemen were just doing drills. DB Bert Brown had a good day, I thought, he was doing a good job of getting on receivers quickly. David James and Dekota Marshall were lining up at nickel (SAM), there may have been others but I noticed those two specifically. Lots of guys rotating through at WILL, as you might expect. Wendell Brown showed good quickness.

    And how could I go without mentioning Casey Creehan? It's great to have him back on the field! There will be no complacency on the back end this year, I can tell you that much. If guys aren't willing to "GET TO THE ****ING BALL!!!!!!", then they aren't going to stick around long!!

    np. had to get a few invites out late last night before my ban took effect.

    ha ha well you basically dared Colin to ban you. Talk about setting the bridge on fire! :)

    i went out on my own terms dude. and all i did was call him on his bulls@*t.

    he posts, "i want to thank the mods for their service and would never close the door on them", even as he is ban/deleting them.

    i bet he had a cigarette after he clicked his mouse on the tab that finally banned bluto from OB.

    He banned me and I wasn't even involved with the switch. Although I had locked myself out of my account months earlier so I suppose its irrelevant.

    The Winnipeg Blue Bombers continue to finalizer their training camp roster with the additions of import defensive linemen Zach Anderson and Marcus Hyde, along with import defensive backs Lamar ‘Marty’ Markett, Wesley Pendleton and Sam Pope. All five players will be on the field once rookie camp begins this afternoon.

    Anderson (6-2, 270, Northern Michigan, DOB: January 27, 1990 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan) was named first team All-GLIAC as a senior after finishing the season with 40 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception. He had a tryout with the Cleveland Browns earlier this year.

    Hyde (6-3, 242, William & Mary, DOB: October 24, 1988 in Manassas, Virginia) was claimed off waivers from the BC Lions earlier this month after finishing his collegiate career with 144 tackles and 18.5 sacks. A two-time All-Conference selection, Hyde’s 6.5 sacks as a senior ranked tied for third in the league, while his 4.7 tackles per game ranked sixth among defensive linemen.

    Markett (5-10, 162, South Carolina, DOB: September 7, 1989 in York, South Carolina) attended training camp with the Atlanta Falcons last season and recorded three tackles throughout the preseason before being among the team’s final cuts. A walk-on at South Carolina, Markett earned playing time on special teams before becoming a key member of the defence as a senior, recording 26 tackles and one pass knockdown.

    Pendleton (5-11, 180, Mississippi, DOB: November 29, 1989 in Natchez, Mississippi) played in 20 games with 16 starts at cornerback in two seasons at Ole Miss after transferring from Copiah-Lincoln Junior College where he was named first team All-State and the MACJC’s Most Valuable Defensive Back on top of being named a Junior College All-American. At Ole Miss, Pendleton recorded 19 tackles, one tackle for loss and six pass knockdowns.

    Pope (6-0, 192, Hampton, DOB: October 21, 1987 in St. Helena Island, South Carolina) attended training camp with the Montreal Alouettes in 2010 and the BC Lions in 2012 before joining the practice roster of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last October. At Hampton, Pope recorded 66 tackles and five interceptions in two seasons.

    The team also announced that Saint Mary’s University quarterback Ben Rossong will participate in the team’s training camp.

    Rossong sat out last season after transferring to Saint Mary’s from Western where he threw for 576 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons.

    The Blue Bombers have released import offensive lineman James Carmon.

    Goodbye Carmon, we hardly knew ye.

    Interesting choice for CIS QB to bring in!

    I'd like a link/button at the top for "Return to Blue Bomber discussion", like the one at the bottom. I know it seems picky but I hate to scroll all the way to the bottom to get back to the forum, if say I click on a topic I've already read by accident.

    Menu on the left hand side has it.

    Yep you're right it does.

    Seems odd to only have 10 posts per page in a thread. Can I change this in my personal settings or is this a "Board settings" thing?
