Does anyone know whether TC will be at IGF or on the practice field again?

I swear I read something recently that it'll be on the field next to the stadium. Not sure why.... Soccer?

Yes, I read that too. Darren Cameron, I think? 

I'll go look for the tweet.

The simple fact that he wasn’t cut when Castillo was signed, and then kept on the roster after the season were two big clues.

He called it immaturity in his younger days that got him tossed from The League and by the time he'd got his head on straight he was too old for what they were looking for. Simply put, we are EXTREMELY fortunate to have a player that is "too good" for this league... (similar to Mike Sellers in more ways than one I believe)

Yeah, I agree, and good comparison to Sellers.

The DBs, courtesy Our Man Tait....

Let's get that CBA ironed out and get on the field! 

CBA doesn't expire until Saturday, and technically the newbies aren't covered by it because they haven't made a team yet......so mini camp should be going ahead as scheduled tomorrow! Sunday's "Main Camp" opening is somewhat in jeopardy (except not really because they'll get this worked out...)

Just a bit of a tweener size wise would be my guess. A little bit underweight for DE in the show, and a little bit too big for rush LBer.

Willie easily fits in the NFL but when you’re buddies with Josh Gordon and you don’t have the undisputed, undeniable talent that JG has, the NFL looks to the guys with as much talent who aren’t going to give you behavioural issues.

I think Willie had the talent to make it as a tight end in the NFL but his college attitude problems were just too much to ignore at the time.

True to form over the last couple of years, i count 28 DB's currently coming to camp lol. Talk about competition.

T Ford getting looks from New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers before we'll see him here at camp. Fingers crossed.

IT BEGINS - HAPPY 1ST DAY OF BOMBERS SEASON, EVERYONE!! 

Here's some light reading for the day courtesy Our Man Tait...

 

Younger Willie was a bad bad boy. 

Glad we have family man and matured Willie tho  

The kicker battle and WR and DB battle will be interesting 

Honestly think the kicker one will be the more important one but... fun. 

 

 

 

Greg Carr what a flash in the pan he was

Agudosi listed at 220 lbs. Looks skinnier in that photo.
