Agreed. I'd even prefer it earlier with the season kicking off first week of June.

I know it’s still early and reports may be on the way but it’s been an issue in years past. It drives me nuts how little content we get about Bomber camps from the Winnipeg media. I’d even take some tweets about who made a nice play or two. Why are these reporters at camp if they aren’t going to write anything beyond sappy human interest stories?

Sorry to disappoint everyone, I didn’t make it out today. Will be going to camp atleast a couple times over the next week or two.

 

my apologies 

I think Bauming is great overall but two hours ago he tweeted a picture of Firlotte being the first guy on the field and then 20 minutes ago a picture of Jeffcoat watching practice. I mean... great but maybe something that happened on the actual field would be nice?

Most are too busy chatting with each other or looking at their phones.

With tentative CBA between #CFL and #CFLPA not yet ratified, it would appear QBs Matt Nichols and Chris Streveler made a choice not to participate in today's rookie camp session. Bryan Bennett chose to participate. #Bombers

No Matt Nichols or Chris Streveler at #Bombers rookie camp today. Veteran Bryan Bennett will participate along with Kevin Anderson, Sean McGuire and Sawyer Buettner. #CFL

Brian Bennett - 

“I needed to be out here and compete and do what I need to do,” said Bennett, who will get a challenge for his job from rookies Kevin Anderson and Sean McGuire. Both were on the field Wednesday.

“We all realize that last year Matt and Chris had bigger roles than I did and for me I’m still battling every day. There’s reps out there that I don’t think I could afford to miss.

“I had to think about it and make sure that it was the right decision for having my teammates backs. I talked to my teammates and they were in full support of my being here.”

Meh, you gotta think beyond more than just your own entertainment to see why this is a smart decision for them.

When we're getting upset because our starting and back-up QBs aren't at Rookie Camp, we're completely in the wrong place....why would you want them eating reps from the rooks?

Bennett is our lethal weapon on special teams!

Agreed- goes a long way into fostering a tight locker room.

And this is exactly where they should be.
