Mr Dee Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 8 Storylines camp day #8 * One of the early observations at camp has revolved around QB Matt Nichols, his offseason training regimen/diet, his overall health and how much more mobile he looks through the first week of practice. * The Bombers O-line, which has been the picture of stability and continuity over the last few years, will feature two new faces this year after the retirement of Matthias Goossen and Sukh Chungh’s exit to B.C. * The 7 Canadian Starters Related to the above is where the Bombers might start their seven Canadian starters in Week 1 and beyond. Running back Andrew Harris, the aforementioned Neufeld, receivers Drew Wolitarsky and Nic Demski are all locks. The Bombers will go with a Canadian at centre in either Speller or Couture and at safety, where Jeff Hecht and Derek Jones are in a battle for the starting safety chores. Where the seventh Canadian starter lines up remains a bit of a mystery, especially with some of the moving pieces on the O-line. Gray is getting a lot of opportunity with the starting lineup and there is certainly depth to go all Canadian on the interior of the O line. But veteran defensive tackle Jake Thomas is quietly having a solid camp and the team does have the depth to go Canadian there, with veteran Maxx Forde and three 2019 draft picks in Jonathan Kongo (who is still recovering from a knee injury and has yet to practice), Connor Griffths and Tariq Lachance. * The starting defence over the last few days has featured Chandler Fenner and Winston Rose at corner, Brandon Alexander and Marcus Sayles at halfback and the Hecht/Jones combo at safety. Very much in the mix are two faces from last year in Chris Humes and Tyneil Cooper and new faces like Mike Jones, Elijah Battle, Malik Boynton, Amari Coleman, Joe Este and Marcus Rios. * Chris Matthews * Willie Jefferson * Of the four global players in Bombers camp, the player who looks most ready to contribute is German linebacker Thiadric Hansen. * The Bombers ranked eighth in punt-return average and sixth in kickoff-return average last year, getting their one return score from Kevin Fogg on a missed field goal in the season opener. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/05/26/eight-storylines-day-8-camp/ wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 A BIG ADDITION, PART II: The way the presence of Matthews impacts the offence will also be occurring on defence, where end Willie Jefferson makes the Bombers front seven as imposing as any in the CFL. As difficult as this may be to fathom, Jefferson looks even bigger than the 6-6, 245 he is listed as on the roster. His first step is lightning quick, his wingspan is massive and he sets the same tone in practice as others like Adam Bighill and Brandon Alexander do on defence. I don't recall the riders doing this last year but I would love to see some goal line packages that include Jefferson... https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/05/26/eight-storylines-day-8-camp/ wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Day 9 Recap Brady Oliveira- “For me, I’m just looking forward to that game and finally to put on that jersey with my last name on it and to finally go against an opponent rather than my teammates,” began Oliveira after a late Monday afternoon practice. Kenny Lawler - “He’s caught a lot of footballs that have been around him… and some of them sometimes aren’t near him and he still catches them,” said head coach Mike O’Shea. “He’s shown everybody here that he’s got exceptional focus and very good hands. Those are obviously very positive things for a receiver.” Michael Couture - “We’re a physical, tough offensive line that knows what it is doing. It plays as a unit. I’ve seen it from 2016 and with how little change there’s been they’ve been able to keep that standard high. It’s something I’ve loved being a part of and want to help uphold.” https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/05/27/notes-camp-day-9-recap/ Bigblue204, Mike#2, Fred C Dobbs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
