(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 just refuse to believe that, with all the talent on this team, we're going to go into the season with a truly awful safety...

Every year we need someone to complain and blame everything on....  this year it will be Hecht.

Way Loffler played most of last season......drop off may not be that noticeable

Umm... except that Loffler had more tackles and interceptions last season than Hecht has in the last... eight.

Not thinking so much about Hecht, who is 33.......Jones or somebody of that ilk, to give us more range and deep help

#1 scapegoat candidate.

you all ever tend to think that maybe they are giving Hecth all this work to play himself off the team, or prove he isn't starter calibre..and giving Jones a bit more recovery time and less wear on his knee???...from all accounts and what was said in off-season Jones was their guy...i doubt that has changed

So you're saying a starter has better stats than a back-up/special teamer?  That's mind bottling stuff, please tell us more.

So, back from my first visit it IGF for Bombers TC, observations:
Lucky Whitehead is fast!!
John Santiago and Brady Oliveira are tanks
DBs are filling me with confidence except for the safety position.
The WIL spot is Kyrie Wilson's to lose.

Get this... In the last 5 years Ryan Lankford has more TD receptions then Chris Matthews has had in the CFL....   we should cut that Matthews bum and bring back and start Lankford!

Ottawa has Lankford. We should be scared with them. 😱

I'm still damaged from when we were told that the MLB job was up for grabs and then Hurl basically got all the reps in camp ha...

But the really question is why give basically a career special teamer a chance to work himself off the team...  throw Janke or one of the young guys out there to see what we've got to backup Jones

DAMN!! I had tried to erase memories of Hurl hahaha

I think they are just easing Jones into things, and seeing as most likely they have Hecht as the back-up are giving him reps

Good point, keeping Hecht means somebody else gets cut.  If Jones goes down they're probably plugging in Hecht and this could happen at anytime.

I’m not going to rag on Hecht - I’m just also still damaged by Greg bearman in the 2007 grey cup...

I still have nightmares about Dave Donaldson covering Boerichter in the 2001 GC and by cover I mean running 25 yards behind him.

Hecht is a smart guy he is not going to screw anything up may get beat physically but not coverage wise.

Memories of Merv Walker still trigger panic attacks.

that's kinda my thought...they must love that he's a really smart guy back there and is going to do exactly what he's told. He's a soldier...

Soo bad, I have soo many memories of DD committing horrible PI and UR fouls and getting scorched.

He doesn't have the speed to be safety in Hall's D...

Day 5 Recap

It took Jackson Jeffcoat roughly, oh, a nanosecond to appreciate what the addition of Willie Jefferson would mean not only to the Bombers D-line, but helping with his game, too.

More good words about Richardson. And Jefferson and Mathews, and their leadership.

Among those standing out on Thursday were WR Rashaun Simonise, S Derek Jones, DE Craig Roh, DE Patrick Choudja, CB Chandler Fenner, WR Kenny Lawler… 

DB Alex Rios had to leave practice after being drilled by RB Brady Oliveira.

LS Chad Rempel was back on the field, after being heavily involved in collective bargaining agreement talks as a key figure in the CFL Players’ Association. “It can be contentious and challenging. But I think, most importantly, both sides wanted to get a deal done and we truly feel like this is a partnership moving forward. We’ve worked through it and everybody’s happy. It’s a fair deal for everyone.”

Hecht is also a Trump supporter 🤫

I personally dont put to much in to day 3 or so of training camp depth charts

Donaldson was a re-occurring nightmare in coverage.....
