(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.

If you don't like reading or "reading a lot" I don't know what to say...maybe an internet forum isn't for you.

Have you ever thought some people don't have all day to wade through 63 insignificant posts to discuss the topic they'd like to talk about?

Listen, if you're not around this site regularly (by regularly, I mean at LEAST once a day...) then we're not going to sit here and cater to you and create a thread for every little thing that happens. I love the super threads....it's the only way to do things. You don't cater to the "casuals"...you cater to the die hards who are on here all day every day and follow every bit of news as it happens...

Are you saying die hard fans can't follow more than one thread at a time? Hmm, seems like you're not die hard enough.

These are not training camp updates

There's no "2019 Morning Big Blue Main Forum Topic Organization Discussion" mega-thread to talk about this in. I'm all outta ideas.

Start another thread then

Another thread for another topic? That doesn't fly around here anymore. If you were a diehard fan you'd understand.

Did you miss this news somehow?

You're bringing up news from February and wonder why you missed it?  3 month old news would have been buried by now even if it had it's own thread so the fact that you missed it is on you, not the format of the forum.

So are there any actual media updates besides the Adams fight?  Or do we just talk about the 2017draft busy year 

My vote is for more threads. Megathreads are OK in the off-season when there isn't much going on, but get in the way once the season starts IMO.

To be fair if people want to start a new thread a subject go ahead. Its not a hard and fast rule we need large overriding threads for everything. If you feel its necessary to create a thread on a single event or transaction go ahead.

I'm here frequently, but I don't have the time or patience to sift through 40 pages of Noeller and 17to85 bickering about rural Alberta radio airplay of the Tragically Hip to see small news items like this buried on page 167. If it had it's own thread I would be aware. This is the concept we're discussing here.

This site should be  a hub for Blue Bombers news and discussion, not a disorganized group chat for a small group of "diehards" who don't visit any other sites on the internet.

the "online Bombers family" that was created via OB.com and now MBB, as lame as this sounds, is very very important to me.....as important as "online friends" can be.....

Is NorthernSkunk & TBurgess the black sheep of the family then?

To antagonize TBurgess

How did Richardson look today?

 

 

STFU about forum etiquette and structure.

I have thought about that. Thing is, I don't care.

you seem like the kinda guy who gets all his news from political facebook memes. 

Now personally I prefer more threads as opposed to mega threads, but what ever people want.

I wouldn’t mind the more specific threads either. Do we really have a rule that trends one way or the other? 

I don’t know. 🤷🏼‍♂️

So, does this make me the drunken uncle?

But they have time to wade through 63 insignificant threads? 🙄

The way things are done is just fine. New threads are started when info is worthy of a thread...not everything is. I believe the over-arching threads encourage people to spend more time here, which is a good thing...

Getting back on topic, our DB's coach Jordan Younger gives a good interview:
