(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.

Richardson look like he could displace Nevis?

Well it's only couple days of camp so saying that is jumping the gun.. but the guy is a force and his skill is really noticeable as is his physical appearance..the dudes arms hanging there look like legs..

You cant discount experience and familiarity in the league and Nevis is damn good and underrated and isnt breaking the bank, but I cant see us letting Richardson go, but who knows how management is thinking but having both on roster would be a deadly rotation with Bryant.

I could see us letting Roh go or PR'ing him if he would accept, especially with Kongbo in the picture.

Bryant can take reps on the end and I bet Richardson would be good there too and would make people think of Dwight Freeney

 

 

Craig Roh and Jake Thomas both feeling the pressure behind their necks

Yeah with Kongbo and Forde here, as well as Tarique who is versatile Jake should be worried

Yes they will... yes they will. If not this year, then at least make it to the dance.

 

I would be happy is we won it next year though too. 30th anniversary of the drought... would make it an extra special victory.

Behave - 29 is a prime number.

True. I'd take a the next prime number year over a pearl anniversary.

be cool if 1290 /cjob had a podcast that was done at the TC where they talk about the goings on of they day, players etc. 

They’d have to stop talking about the Jets for 5 minutes...

The Bombers were in the WF and they were talking about a dirty hit by Lemieux for 3 weeks

I don't see Jake Thomas losing his job to Tariq or Maxx Forde but Connor Griffiths is basically a younger, bigger version of Jake, IMO.  Same great motor with a little more power behind it. I think he's got a good shot at winning a spot on the team.

Wolitarsky has the low key potential to be our best receiver. Between age, talent and passport, I couldn’t be happier if it happens. 

Lord knows we are due to find a stud Canadian receiver.. he definitely looks like he has the tools. We've got some real good talent behind (beside?) him as well.. Simonise is still a very intriguing prospect..

Agreed.

People seem to forget about Petermann too. I don't know why? 

I just wanted to thank everyone for the camp reports. It's really appreciated.

I don't know about anybody else ,but I'm getting rather tired of Westie's verbal diarrhea.

One day, TSN1290 will rid themselves of him and it will be a glorious day. I think he's a really nice, genuine guy but not very good radio host.

You speak of forbidden things.

Toth is also a tool. He'll come out and make a ridiculous asinine statement then fight a losing battle defending it only to do a 180 the next day. That whole show is trash. Scrap it and start over with people who can think and speak properly.

Aye, I risk everything speaking of such things. 

The main problem with having 1290 do a training camp location show.........is that the 1290 guys would be doing it.

Bauming should get a show if not every day every other day during the season and training camp. Not just at 7pm once a week or whatever

 

Anyone have any idea if they are just resting Harris and Neuf or if there is some type of injury problem?

No idea about Neuf. But Harris looked perfectly fine on the sidelines yesterday and MOS suggested they were holding him out so that the depth guys could get more reps.

All I got...

They don't play a pre-season game until the 31st.

I'm sure it is nothing serious.

FWIW, Harris was on the field helping out yesterday (holding pads etc).  I didn't see Neuf at all but to be fair, when I was watching the OL, I was more focused on Eli & Desjarlais so he could have been hanging around somewhere.
