(2019 Main Training Camp

Can’t remember a start to a main training camp where, even though we have openings at several spots (7?), we seem to have prepared to fill those spots with quality players and good prospects. 

Highlights coming into camp are the signings of Willie Jefferson and most certainly Chris Mathews. Not to mention the signing of all our draft choices, some of whom could be dynamic. 

We got bigger and better at receiver prospects.

We’ve stacked the defensive line to make it easier for Bighill. 

We’ve added defensive backs and linebackers to fill any perceived shortcomings. 

Little by little, day by day, shortcomings will be noticed and those players will fall by the wayside.

It’s training camp and the veterans will teach the newbies..in more than one way.

Today, medicals and film room. Good luck to all. Let’s put out the best lineup we possibly can.

I like the way Humes plays.

I hope he can show that  he is a starter.

I wonder if Oliveira got Santiago up here. 

Explosive player.

Sayles has boundary HB locked down - no question

id honestly love to see Fenner at safety - he’s fast...

really think about using all our Ratio on offence... then two DIs at WR and SB especially with Kongbo signed now

But those DIs can only sub for imports so that doesn’t make much sense.

any word on why thompkins was suspended?  He showed pretty well last season.

I don’t think he’s even shown up in Winnipeg. Assuming he is under contract that would be grounds for suspension.

Aaaaaand I get “trumped” again.

Weird.

Just tell the team you don't want to play.

Hopefully everything is alright with him.

Pretty neat to have both Santiago and Oliveira up here. Santiago had an insane freshman year in 2015 with 1459 rush yards and 16 TDs but then his numbers came down over the next few years as Oliveira took more and more reps. The unfortunate thing for Santiago now is that he would have to be absolutely phenomenal to make the team as there isn't really room for an American RB. Meanwhile Oliveira is all but guaranteed a spot.

I should add that Santiago has return experience and I would expect him to get a look there as well, so that could help his chances.

what a weird story about Thompkins...hopefully the guy is alright. Super weird that you wouldn't contact anyone...

Did Thompkins play any more games after he got stretchered off the field with a neck/head injury last September?

Edited May 19, 20196 yr by Doublezero

Home game in October against Calgary was last game.

I like Humes a lot too. It seems like every year, even though the Bombers bring a ton of DBs into camp, the guys who are 5’10 and under are the ones that stick around. Alexander and Humes being exceptions. Size isn’t everything and guys like Sayles are great despite being undersized but it’s just so hard to cover the giant, dominant outside receivers in the CFL when they have 7 inches on you. 

 

 

WOOGIE!
