Today is the day football is back. Hopefully a few guys stick out over the next couple days.

 

Charles Nelson also played in the defensive backfield in university, quite a bit I think.

Little I saw of him last season he looked like he made very quick cuts and would be really hard to cover.

I'd be fine with that combo at SB/DI

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

For sure. Until the deal is ratified, a QB, with a roster spot locked up, showing solidarity should be expected. Further to that, why risk injury at this point. I am sure that we will see both before the end of rookie camp when the coaches need some better throws to really separate the wheat from the chaff.

Thompkins better to stay healthy and have a very good TC, otherwise his starting slot willbe gone.

Receiver Matt Hazel is catching attention at #Bombers camp. A name to watch.

This is who I had my eye on, but finally, there are lots of receivers to keep our eyes on..

Watching OL vs DL at #Bombers rookie camp and was impressed with the club’s draft picks - DT Connor Griffiths has a good motor, OL Drew Desjarlais is solid and C Asotui Eli flattened a rusher on one play

Wonder if Gray is participating?

me too...sounds like he may be in football playing shape....I wouldn't be shocked if he is 100 percent in game playing weight and conditin he brabs the starting center gig..especially with having experience with Tackle to boot

I was very curious about this guy- I am so stoked we got him, so much potential from reports before his injury.

He was the top ranked CFL prospect at the point of his decision to "retire" and was on many NFL teams radar as a draft pick. If he can come back he is the steal of the draft.

Can you imagine if Eli is as good as they say he COULD be, amd we got him with a flyer in the 4th Round.......??

He was one of the top ranked centers in the NCAA..and a 3 year starter with phenomenal game tape..and a sure draft pick in the NFL..prob well before the 5th round too.

My only concern was if he needed to get back his 300 + pound football weight..and not be 300 pound not football weight..but what I hear..he is in football form..the injury being 2 yrs into healing and rehab will be a non issue..he was the draft coup

Not really a flyer when you have the inside info that he wants to play. Other teams are probably kicking themselves right now for not checking in on him.

When did the injury actually occur? Tried using my Google machine to find out, but the first reports of him missing the 2018 season are from last August...

Cooper is just playing Hall style coverage... stay tight and limit the receiver to a 10-12 yard gain...

So he makes 2 big hits and does nothing the rest of the year?

Imagine this Hazel is legit at his size in a receiving core already featuring Matthews and Wolitarsky.  Nichols better work on his high point!

Unfortunately you're right....He was lights out first year...after that not so much.....He seemed like he was saving himself all last year....I guess for free agency

yeah training camp seems like mostly an excuse for the reporters to catch up after the offseason.

 

Bauming and Tait seem like the only guys who looks like they're working for the most part.
