Hello Tuscaloosa, why the name change?

It's kinda good that you're somehow involved in the health field, cause you're getting a ****-kicking on here today...?

if I recall correctly, Willy never was catergorized as a fire in the belly, lead with your voice and actions type guy.   He was always a calm, level headed and a bit soft spoken QB when here..
 
imo. I could be wrong.

I think they cut Apodaca to save fans who cant spell his name correctly.
I heard they might do the same for Okpalaugo.

Dressler has some spark! Man I miss that guy.

Love Nichols telling the rookie whats up.  Willy would have stuttered a "please don't be a jerk on the field" or something while standing behind Chungh.....

Thanks for posting your thoughts. 

Sorry for your loss, Tracker.

I am cheering for Bridge, and hope he makes it, but I also hope that any games he plays in this year are called by Chris Cuthbert and not Rod Black, as I don't want to hear "Air Canada" fifty times during the game.

This is such a dumb argument... of course, every team would be better if they stayed perfectly healthy all season... but the reality is injuries are guaranteed to happen, so build some depth and fight through it... with the exception of losing your entire starting line-up, a really good team will continue to win even with injuries....

Immediately I'm nervous that Hurl isn't going.

3down nation reported around 2000 at argo game last night.
what the.....
 

Because nobody cares about the facts.  Both sides were sure they were right before a single word was spoken.

If you check out the extremes of both parties on Twitter, it is amazing how both sides can watch the same hearings and both draw polar opposite conclusions of what happened, and who is vindicated.

Deyonce Whitaker....many people thought he was like a Charles Roberts clone but he couldn't hang onto the ball to save his life. I seem to recall Coach Ritchie calling him Beyonce, but I could be mistaken on that. I do recall he had a special teams touchdown for us in week one of whatever season it was, but wound up cut because of the fumbling and eventually wound up in Montreal for a cup of coffee.
 
Great thread by the way.

A big thanks to everyone for the camp reports and other general  info.I rarely check the papers now,I just read Tate's  stuff and here.

Get this guy to answer that neg. list question for you....

"We give you, as an example, receiver Ryan Lankford.
Now, some Canadian Football League diehards will recognize Lankford’s name; he spent parts of the last two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and suited up for eight games last year, pulling in 19 passes for 165 yards before being released in late October.
And then his phone went silent.
His agent sent his highlight tape out to teams all over the pro-football map, and still nothing. So Lankford did next what many desperate to chase their dream do: he drove six hours from his home in Jacksonville to a Blue Bombers free agent camp in Miami this January, plunked down $100 bucks to participate, laced up his cleats and got to work."

Really interested to see if Trestman can turn around Drew Willy's career.
It'd be some bad karma off the Bombers if he does because our 2014 and 2015 teams basically destroyed Willy, and that was a shame, because I believe he had the tools to be a solid CFL starter.

Ah, The Great Grigsby, greatest athlete ever to play in the CFL according to Rod Black.

One more thing on the pick by Santos-Knox. I happened to be standing really close by so had near perfect view. He was downfield covering 30-35 yds from the LOS. Receiver had position on him and it was a nice throw to the outside over the defenders head. Santos-Knox was was beaten, playing catch-up. BUT he stayed with the play. You could see a flash of deflation in his eyes and body language when the receiver extended to make contact the with ball. But then it bounced off the receiver and Santos-Knox was in just the right spot - kept running and didn't let up - and had the presence of mind and quick reflexes to snag it. That was a good football play and shows that if you play through with effort and don't let up - good things can happen. So great. Football is here again! Also, I assumed Santos-Knox was playing WIL LB. But I did not see the defensive formation at the snap. He could have been playing halfback.

Nice! Yes I am a fan of JFG. There was a game 2015, I think vs Hamilton - he made a clutch catch in the dying seconds for a big win. But he has made a significant number of clutch grabs even though he does not see the ball go his way too often. The thing I like is that he appears to be fearless. And also dependable. Very few drops or bobbles. JFG always fights hard for possession if contested. That drove me crazy about Kohlert last year - ball kept sailing through his hands and into the waiting mitts of a defender at the most inopportune moments.

Caught the last hour or so today, defence had a couple picks (didn't have a program so I don't know who made it) guys said they had 3 or 4 today. Defence looking good, Denmark and Dressler made some nice grabs but defence usually there pretty quick to contest. Nichols was the best qb that I saw, looks like lefevour took some style lessons from Ricky ray, shaved head and big ears, great look. Davis is fast and might be a competition between he and the other two to play some goal line snaps. Leggett was on the field but not in pads, he's tough, I'm guessing he'll be out there week one. 

?‍?I bet you Keith Price (QB prospect BC Lions) won't be with the Lions for very long..
DB Chris Greenwood forces a fumble as he returns from missing the majority of camp. Big week ahead for the second year player. #Bombers

A father & his young son were at #Argos practice on Tuesday, making the trek from Indiana. Why? - @tsnmikehogan #CFL via @TorontoArgos 1/2
They fell in love w/ uniqueness of #CFL after watching it on ESPN. Wanted to see a game live, so they made journey north - @tsnmikehogan 2/2

Longshot?: The Calgary barn may have only been half-full – odd for a game that wasn’t televised – but it was enough to draw talent evaluators ranging from Craig Smith (Winnipeg) to Hamilton GM Eric Tillman.
Darrin Bauming - The defence is winning the day at #Bombers camp. Pick party — Smalley, Goodman, Porter.
- Six interceptions as the #Bombers work heavy in 12-on-12 team reps today. @TjHeath34 with a pair, and Tahaan Goodman with two as well.
Jeff Hamilton
Kevin Fogg, who hasn't practised all training camp, is doing sprints from one side to the next. Had lower-body surgery in the off-season.
?‍? Now we know the answer to how McLoed Bethel-Thompson ended up an Argo...
3downnation
Toronto announced the signing of quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson on May 22, days before training camp opened. Behind the scenes, general manager Jim Popp orchestrated a neg list swap for the 28-year-old pivot, sending Ball State defensive back Eric Patterson to Winnipeg for the rights to Bethel-Thompson.

Quick update from camp - went Monday and Tuesday.
I missed the first half Monday, and so the last hour and a bit I saw was all special teams. Walked over and watched the OL practice but nothing too noteworthy. 
Tuesday was a lot more fun from a fan perspective. Chris Randle had a really nice interception early on against the offense. I will say that in camp this year the defense seems extremely vocal, in a good way. Lots of coaching between each other and just a lot of fun too. Leggett can be heard just talking a bunch, at one point yesterday he was literally barking for a few minutes. Heard Randle walking the sidelines too.
Shayon Green spent some time on the sideline with Jamal Westerman working on hand technique. 
Defensive tackles got to practice hand swipes and rips against the anchored tackle dummy. Ekakitie got some ribbing when he was the only one who didn't flip it completely on its side. Needed to get his hand under the armpit more, which the coaches pointed out. 
As for the QBs, I thought Lefevour looked erratic. Overthrew several balls and one in the turf. Nichols looked pretty good. Davis didn't stand out one way or the other. Apodaca had very limited reps- mostly hand offs and I only saw one short throw from him. 
And just in general, I really like our coaching staff. I like how they coach in practice and how they interact with the players. Different vibe than say, Doug Berry in the golf cart. 

I assume the local media don't speak about who is looking good and bad mainly because the local media has no idea whether a guy is playing good or bad.   What would be really really nice is if the local media can send maybe some former Blue Bomber players and/or football coaches who are still around town to take a look at camp and give their feedback since they would have a much better eye.   
As for Jeff Hamilton,  wasn't he covering on 1290 last week?
