Which rookie is gonna have the biggest impact in our push for another Grey Cup?

I expect great things from Bennett, think he will be a beast. But of even more importance and a player I am keeping an eye on is Jeremy Murphy. Have said for a time now we needed another weapon on the offensive side of the ball, and I think this kid can provide that. Maybe not totally at first,but down the road for sure.

Other than Grant, yes. I assume they all are. Pretty confident in the statement, too.

I doubt Biggie is...I am at gym when he and BA train....don't look hurt to me

I noticed yesterday that 19 year old receiver Tyrell was working with the trainer on the field. He's getting closer to actually practice. 

Also think this is the first training camp I've seen where all the olinmen have participated. No injuries and no vet days at the practices I've been to.

Care to elaborate on why you think we need another weapon on offense?

Who exactly is Jeremy Murphy going to unseat on this offense, barring injury (knocks on wood).....??? BOO is still well ahead of him as well. Murphy should be damn happy to be on the PR and learn for awhile. 

And in an offense that has the best QB in the league, the 2 best receivers in the league, the best OL in the league..... And a more than competent RB...... We need a weapon???

I didn't say he was going to start over anyone, and yes I understand we are set up well on offense, but never hurts to have another guy to give the defense someone else to keen in on. I think the kid can be good in this league, but if he is a bust, as ya'll say we will be fine.

Where exactly on the field do you put him? Who comes off to make room for this so called weapon? 

On paper, i can't remember a team that had as many offensive weapons as the Bombers do right now. It's grossly unfair, TBH....

Only because everyone is looking the other way at Bighill, Wilson, Jeffcoat, Oliveira, and Grant not practicing. That's a lot of holes to fill.

For some reason my GIF search isn't working... I wanted to add a "Quadmire giggity" gif in here... so everyone just use your imagination

I agree that Wilson and Jeffcoat are definitely concerns due to their injury history... but I have little concern about Oliveira and Biggie... those guys are going to be ready to go.

you're assuming those players aren't participating in TC because they're hurt....TC being the key word. These aren't "practices". It's close. But it's training camp. The two are different.

Bighill was still walking around with paper work, almost looked like a coach, he's still very involved

Maybe he's signing up new players as clients.  Remember, people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.

I think his not "participating" is a big nothing burger...he in shape....got diddly to prove, and still does stuff outside actual "practice" sessions

He's gotta have something going on. Hopefully it's nothing that keeps him from missing games, but something is keeping him off the field now.

Guys with injury histories like Jeffcoat were practicing, old guys like Bryant are practicing. Only injured players haven't participated. 

Especially when Wilson has also been out, and you would think they'd want to see how Bighill played with the replacement candidates.

I can't remember a training camp where so many starters got the first week off. I think there is more to this than the team is letting on. 

Psst: its a conspiracy by the Reptilians. They're everywhere.

It is clear that everybody for the Blue Bombers are hurt and the media is covering up and helping the team out by saying players are practicing. It all a plot to sell tickets.

I can remember pretty much every camps first week giving most of the older vets a ton of time off.

As long as this team is playing well and healthy at the end of the year - I don’t really give a **** if they’re 12-6 instead of 15-3.

......or the players were all replaced by pod-people. Therefore:
