Captain Blue

Honestly if we do find ourselves pressed for Canadian starters at least with this you could sub in Morley. He's not good, but still...at least it's an option. I really want to see Knapp pull on runs though. He's built like a tight end.

I finished re-watching the game today and I think Hall still has a better chance of panning out than Brohm does. For the most part I think Hall would have looked a lot better had his receivers made the plays they should have (and Tarver just sucks so having him gone soon should help). I was actually surprised by how Hall looked the second time around.

Wouldn't cut Banks. I'm more concerned about the D schemes than any particular player really, but even those won't be the ones we see in the opener.

It's a walk through but I am still a little tempted to go, just to see what they're doing and who's playing where.

Some of these Stamps' guys are coming off as real whiners. It's unlikely every union member will be happy with the deal, but you don't need to make yourself look bad now.

Happy we get football, but this deal looks pretty bad for the players. CFL has grown a lot in recent years, both in on-field product and financially, and they get a tiny increase that won't affect most players.

In most labour arguments I side with the owners, since the players make quite a lot of money and as employees, are required to either play for what the employers are giving you or find a different job. Since the CFL has grown substantially in the past decade or so and the players still don't make a lot, I side with them on this one. Told some of them at camp I was rooting for them.

Interested to see how the QBs look in a game. The one big practice I saw, Willy was good but the others were poor.

I can't stand Westwood so I doubt this changes my radio plans, but CJOB definitely has fallen since it's Irving and whoever they pair him with on the road. Overall I rarely listen to pre game stuff. I'll listen to post game if I'm driving or at home with time.

Guy, next to you... That would be me. The Linemen were pretty appreciative of the fans coming out and supporting them. Ha, you know I'm always wondering if I'm sitting right by another MBB member when I come on here during camp.

Met and/or briefly talked with January, Greaves, Saulsberry and Kowalczuk. Kowalczuk said the he loves O'Shea, that as a former player he really understands them. Raved about Bob Wylie, said he's showing them clips of guys he coached in the 80s. Thinks they've got the right people in place in all the right areas. Also January said he appreciated the support from the fans. Him and the guy next to me were chatting about the labour stuff I think.

January brought the linemen up into the stands today after practice. Will type up a little more on that when I get home.

Willy throws an end zone pick anticipating his WR to curl out earlier.

Unamba picks off Brohm and takes it to the house. Brohm lost sight of the backer and Unamba elevated for the nice catch.

Osh and Pierce sprint after the players once each throw or run has occurred screaming at them to run and sprint.

Renaud is not punting in the rotation. Hat on. Probably already noted but I guess he's sitting this practice out.

O'Shea and who I believe to be Tracey teaching ST blockers how to identify who to block now.

Wild was there initially. Eisho now as they swapped to a new group.

Banks, Wild and Dunn are the backers. Leggett at safety so far.

Bucknor and Randall at corner going against what I'm presuming is the offensive ones.

In today's most important breaking news, Etch always reminds me of a garden gnome.

I think every person on defense should just have the position "Def". There is going to be players shifting all over. Watching some blitzes now as they match up against the offense.

I feel overall camp is louder this year actually. Players and coaches more vocal.

I'm watching Howell teach receivers right now. Pretty energetic. I swear Cory Watson is just perma-hurt. Feel bad for the guy but I really hope we are not counting on him too much this year.

Just heading out to go see camp now, will report back.
