I was at rookie camp (day 2) and both sessions today and Hajarulahu looked awful both days. I mean awful, wide-right more often than not. Today I was specifically commenting on punting, not FGs. I agree that Hajarulahu has had difficulty with FGs beyond 40 yards to date. Penton seems to agree with me re punting today: @PentonKirk: The #Bombers kicking battle looks like it's going to be a good one. All three hoofing them pretty good today.

I get the sense Kent Austin is a very persuasive recruiter. Players want to play for him. I doubt the Ticats are overpaying these guys...they're all signing for market value.

Good call. I could see that happening too.

They'll probably stick him on the 9 game IR.

Do you see any of those guys as upgrades over Thomas/Lucas?

Huge signing if it happens: @scratchingpost: Hearing that former #Esks DT @tedlaurent will sign with the #Ticats. Another impact non-import player. #CFL

A bit more on Charbonneau: http://m.undsports.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=3745396&DB_OEM_ID=13500&.

@DarrinBauming: WR @GoodrichKurt's injury did not look good — just my assessment from afar. Carted off the field. Leaves facility with calf wrap & crutches.

@DarrinBauming: Mike O'Shea says he would have hired Bob Wylie even if he could only be with the team one day a week. Wylie will be away at times again.

@DarrinBauming: Injury Report: LB Jesse Briggs (arm), Jordan Brescacin (ham), RB Kevin Smith (ham) will all be reassessed.

He had a serious ankle injury last year and hasn't recovered.

@DarrinBauming: Injury Report: OL Paul Swiston (offseason surgery recovery, no timeframe), DE Willie Moseley ("strain" of some kind, couple days).

Thought this deserved its own thread: @PentonKirk: Bob Wylie is not at camp because he's away at a coaching clinic. He'll be gone a few days at a time throughout the season. #Bombers @PentonKirk: Paul Charbonneau, a Wylie protege, is the #Bombers assistant offensive line coach and will run things when Wylie is away.

@PentonKirk: Former #Bombers draft pick Mike DiCroce has been cut by Calgary already. The receiver's foot just isn't right.

My guess is Swiston didn't pass his physical as he was on the sidelines both practices today (I was at both). No idea what the injury/issue is.

Drew Willy looking much better today. From the WRs that stood out today: Moore, Watson, Kelly, Denmark, and Urrutia looking good all with some nice catches. Our D-line looks sick good. It'll be better than last year. In terms of punting, Hajrullahu and Renaud look even in terms of distance. Both consistently around 60 yards. My early prediction is Renaud is our punter and Hajrullahu is our PK this season. Maher hasn't stood out enough to me to warrant using an import spot. OT's are Jones, January, Neufeld, Peterson. The rest of the OL are practicing as centre or guard. Swiston injured but I believe he's a tackle.

Took a walk around IGF between practices and it appears the new loges have replaced some of the handicap seating.

@PentonKirk: Maurice Leggett getting a lot of reps at safety this morning. Johnny Sears has shifted over to halfback. #Bombers

Agreed. Go get Scott Mitchell. Drop Swiston.

Bob Wylie still absent from practice. Second practice in a row. Penton told me he's been told that's a question for coach O'Shea. The OLs are mostly taking turns lining up all over the place. Goossen getting most of the reps at centre. Morley taking reps at centre and RG. Neufeld appears to be the starting RT...getting the most reps there. Swiston standing on the sidelines not practicing. Including Swiston I count 15 OL here today. Willy with a beauty deep pass completed to Kemp. Randle was the the DB. Kevin Smith hurt himself in one on one drills. He's trying to walk it off on the sidelines.

I'll likely be attending both today.

Yes practice is 100% on today. Starts at IGF at. 8:30am. I'll be there at 8:30.

Yes. It's on Monday.

@TSNScianitti: Chad Kackert has retired. The ankle injury he suffered before the east final never healed to a point he could feel 100% again #Argos
