WINNIPEG, MB., May 11, 2017 –  The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has invited Winnipeg Rifles wide receivers Xander Tachinski (#73) and Brendan Naujoks (#74), running back Michael Ritchott (#76), and defensive back Andrew Ricard (#77) to take part in the club’s three-day rookie camp commencing Wednesday, May 24. The players will continue with the team through the first part of the main training camp.

Tachinski and Ritchott attended part of last season’s rookie camp, and most recently played in their third and fourth years with the Rifles, respectively. Naujoks and Ricard have both spent three seasons with the Rifles.

“The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have continued to try to invest in the growth of younger football players within Manitoba,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “This will be a great experience for all of them to be on the field with professional players, and to continue to grow as athletes.”

Quarterbacks and CFL newcomers will report to Winnipeg and will be on the field for the opening of rookie camp on Wednesday, May 24th. Veterans report on May 26th and will begin practicing on May 28th.

The Blue Bombers will play two pre-season games:  June 10th at Mosaic Stadium in Regina against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and June 15th at Investors Group Field against the Edmonton Eskimos.

WR Addison Richards, who was having another solid day, left practice early with an undisclosed injury. His status will likely be updated on Wednesday. DT Padric Scott was back at work after missing practice on Monday.

Early on the roc sure seems to be the tc mvp. I tend to think hes more then just a tc star though. This team has shown it can really scout DBs. Hes gonna make for some hard decisions. Though he could easily start out as the extra DB and a teamer.

Didnt see this posted yet. Gotta love the mind set of kendall roberson. Its hard to imagine us losing those close fought games that come down to character, toughness and determination. 

In his presser today MOS discussed Carmichael, in doing so he hit on all of his catch phrases when he describes his favourite kind of player.  "Tough, smart, gritty, receptive, workman-like, loves the game".  I'd be shocked if Roc didn't earn at least a spot on the P.R., especially with the latest injury to Leggett.

I remember one year when an unknown guy named Mo Leggett was the TC MVP... that's worked out pretty well so far!... I think if he keeps this up, they find some way to keep him...

Damn right. Watching the post practice interview yesterday, I thought I saw O'Shea's eyes light up when he was asked about the Roc.

I'm at the point where I don't even get excited about new receivers anymore. Walters has done some awesome things and our scouts have brought in some great talent.

We can't find receivers.

TJ Thorpe is about the most optimistic I've been on a guy. But even then ... already hurt.

This L'Damian fella, he sounds good on paper ... but so did Jace Davis and Ja'Mes Logan and Lavasier Tuinei and Toney Clemons and Mario Urrutia and Donavon Kemp. It never seems to work out.

Speaking of receivers, we just signed REC Derek Yachison .. Winnipegger who played junior football in BC and I think he's been with the Lions a bit.

Thought he played for the Bisons last year

He did play for the Bisons last year.  He had 2 years of CIS eligibility left before last season.

Thanks to all of you attending camp and providing insight and observations.  Love this time of the year.

Speaking of Rock puns, are their rules around the "music" played?  For example, could they play "Do you smell what the Rock is cooking" if/when Roc makes an INT?  I was always waiting for the Jets to play "Im Buff and Im the stuff" when Buff laid a guy out but they never did.  (Maybe for the best).  I think Carolina does (or did) play Ric Flair Wooooo'ing when they score... And Tampa uses Hogan (is it Tampa)?

They can play whatever.  Pretty sure it's Nashville that's taken to playing Bobby Roode's "Glorious" for wins.

I've noticed a bunch of wrestling being played during breaks in the playoffs. Someone uses/used Adam Rose's theme as their goal song too.  Just found it interesting since until recently I figured Triple H's was about the only wrestling theme that would get played at a random sporting event.

Is Coates out too?  Let's get Spencer Watt in here already.

Turn down for Watt

The Bruins used Rick Flair.

 

Lots of injuries.

Because he's got a slight limp? I mean ... that seems a bit hasty.
