The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it

Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner

Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

I don't know anything about either of them, so I won't say they suck unless it turns out that they do.

whether all evidence to the contrary exists or not...yeah we get it.

Evidence? What evidence are you talking about?

Are you actually trying to convince Tburg using Youtube Videos from other leagues? That won't work even for the most optimistic fans....k well maybe them....

Anyone have any reports from Rookie camp?

If Ross did I am sure some would still complain the Bombers still have not found their own guy.

The Bombers will only get credit for developing their own QB if one of their employees gives birth to him; he attends school in the Pinnacle room, is coached by Mike O'Shea from crunchers level through the Rifles, is picked as a territorial exemption by the Bombers and has never left IGF from birth to his first away game in the CFL.

where does my post say we've finally found our qb of the future?

And nothing is more predictable, than the post you made.

'Downside of Streveler/Ross being good...'

But not good enough to be heir apparent to Nichols... I don't get it.

And its ridiculous to think that anyone on this forum is not cheering for the Bombers to develop a QB.

I believe our good friend @Mark F was simply imagining the possibility of Ross/Streveler turning out well and how nice that would be.

...in a very passive aggressive kind of way...

Maybe I'm just still fresh from being ready to annoint Austin Apodaca as our 'next QB' last off-season... or being castigated because I didn't think Dom Davis was very good...

I was there yesterday...cold in those stands. Most of the day was teaching so everything was split up

in segments on the field, e.g. linemen one area, defence another and so on.

When I first got there our drafted kicker Felix Menard-Briere was on the field by himself. He was kicking

field goals from the 55 yard line. The first 3 or 4 fell at the 5 yard line, but the rest went through the

posts easily and was very accurate. Not quite sure about his punting though. He was on the

field all practice running the end zone by himself.

There are so many receivers in camp and so many Canadians for a change, pretty much focused

on them when they were actually doing something to watch, which was not too often...but saw

a lot of potential out there, much more than some previous seasons. Notables

Donteea Dye #77 very interesting...good hands small and quick and very athletic

Tylor Henry national did not look out of place

Rashaun Simonize national #13...hmmm...big and fast, can see why he had an NFL look. Right now? not yet sold

on his hands...lots of potential there for sure, but what good is a receiver if they are not reliable?

Johnny Augustine #35, National, fast and strong, appears to have great hands out of the backfield and would

be a load on 2nd and short. Was very impressed with him. Can't believe he wasn't drafted and then Edmonton

signed him last year. Maybe something we don't know?

Tyrone Pierre national #73, is big and strong looking and appears to have good hands and is fast enough caught virtually everything thrown his way

Brendon Thera-Plamondon national also did not look out of place

Corey Washington #6 Int...Looks very good and made some nice catches. Looks like we let the right Washington go

Myles White Int #14 is really quick and has excellent hands, defensive backs would have hands full with him, sort of like a dressler type

Drew Wolitarsky #82 national...looks much improved from last year, rooting for him.

Didn't pay to much attention to the Qb's, but Strevelor is big and athletic and looks to have a quick release and strong arm. Ross looked

good as well, will be interesting who plants themselves in the #2 spot.

Also didn't pay too much attention to the D, but did see some nice interceptions and looks like there is plenty of speed. Only glad that

Sam Hurl is gone, but if the defence runs the same way as last year, only improved skill levels from the defence will save the job

of Richie Hall.

Sorry I couldn't have done better but it was mostly a teaching practice

That pick-six he threw at the 6:30 mark was very Kevin Glenn-like....

Except he is what..  20 something and Glenn is doing it at 40? Lol

Speaking of Apodaca:

(I get the weirdest alerts from Google about the CFL.)

he was in that fall league and we recently picked one of his team mates up too. 

Guy had all the arm talent to be a pro qb. Im guessing he didnt fit their mold as much as desired (smart, tough, humble) or had a real mental flaw.

Guys like Augustine and Thera-Plamandon have a real chance of making this team on special teams and H-Back.

Also really liked the back we just signed when he was in Vikings camp, Jhurrell Pressley.  He’s a big play type back, real fast.

I could see pressley becoming our new return man / di and working his way into the offense. Big play guy, can return, can catch the ball, and is a good size back.

😝 idk but that will be the make or break point 

I am really curious to see how they can get an extra I RB or WR on the roster.

Is anyone planning to attend and report?

I got there today around 9:45 and stayed till the end. 

Our "starting" five receivers are fun to watch: Adams, Bowman, Dressler, Demski and Wolitarsky. That is a really solid group and Wolitarsky again looked good today. 

Surprise receiving star was Daniel Petermann. His speed was evident early on. He made four really nice catches, the last being in the scrimmage where he jumped up in the middle of the field to nab a high crossing throw. 

Of the new QBs, Ross was a real pleasant surprise. Streveler looks the part and I was expecting him to really shine but it was Ross who stood out more. Way more arm strength than I anticipated. Had some nice deep completions in the drills.
