gbill2004 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The rookies arent part of the PA though, correct? Correct. Rookie camp should proceed as scheduled, regardless of CBA negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrg Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Old stadium - super easy and convenient for me to sneak over and check out training camp. New stadium - not at all. Any chance the boys could run some drills in the food court at Polo Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The rookies arent part of the PA though, correct? Correct. Rookie camp should proceed as scheduled, regardless of CBA negotiations. Typically the QBs still show up for rookie camp though, don't they? (this thread will quickly devolve into a CBA talks thread) My expectation is that they still will, at least for the first day until Flory finds out and figures he can use this as leverage. I'm not getting the impression that his mind works far ahead enough to have thought of this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we only get our rookie QB's in camp then... we have a couple don't we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would imagine only Robert Marve is a rookie. Unless Brohm didn't get on the roster at all with the Ticats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 But the contract doesn't expire 'til midnight Thurs and Alberta's legislation moves that date to Frid., so I would assume the QBs are OK to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would imagine only Robert Marve is a rookie. Unless Brohm didn't get on the roster at all with the Ticats. True but QBs are the exception, they are all expected at rookie camp regardless of veteran status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but QBs are the exception, they are all expected at rookie camp regardless of veteran status. Right but the context is the CBA in which they are considered veterans I guess. But as was mentioned it doesn't expire until Thursday. So I might attend Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Players to watch Ten players participating in the Bombers' three-day rookie camp the Freep's Ed Tait will be watching (in no particular order): 84 Mario Urrutia*, WR: A huge target at 6-6, this former Cincinnati Bengals draft pick (7th round, 2008) has bounced around the NFL and is now a co-owner of the Kentucky Xtreme indoor football franchise. 35 Kevin Smith*, RB: Former Detroit Lions starter and Central Florida star figures to challenge for the starting tailback spot. Proved to be an excellent receiver out of the backfield, too, pulling in 80 passes over the 2008-09 seasons with the Lions. 79 Brett Maher*, K: The Bombers are intrigued by the idea of having one kicker handle both the punting and placekicking chores. Stood out at Nebraska, winning awards for both skills and hit 24 of 25 field goals at the NFL Combine and Cornhusker Pro Day last year but was not drafted. Had shots with both the NY Jets and Dallas Cowboys. 96 Kenny Tate*, LB/DE: Could be an intriguing piece in Gary Etcheverry's defence. Exceptional athlete recruited out of high school as a receiver and during his days at Maryland played middle and outside linebacker, defensive end and tackle, safety and defensive back. 91 Louis Nzegwu*, DE: Had two sacks in a pre-season game last August for the Carolina Panthers, but didn't stick. Stints with Miami and Atlanta after a solid college career at Wisconsin that included 27 starts in 48 games. 25 Maurice Leggett*, DB: Lots of changes in the Bomber secondary this season and Leggett could be a candidate for a starting gig. He became the first undrafted player in Kansas City Chiefs history to win the Mack Lee Hill Award (top rookie). Ball-hawking type who can also return kicks. 61 Mathias Goossen, C: The second-overall pick in the 2014 CFL Draft is one of those young 'green banana' players who needs to learn on the job quickly. If he's ready, he could be the Bombers' starting centre on opening night. But they also won't rush a player who doesn't turn 22 until October. 46 Jesse Briggs, LB: Smart, athletic prospect. The Bombers traded two third-round picks in order to move up and grab him 17th overall. Said to be a Mike O'Shea clone: versatile, intelligent special-teams demon. 32 Nic Grigsby*, RB: Another candidate in the fight for the starting tailback job. Attended B.C. Lions camp in 2012 and the Toronto Argonauts last year after an outstanding college career at Arizona that saw him score 20 TDs in 28 games. Had tryouts with Miami, Oakland, Tampa and Green Bay before returning to school to pursue a baseball dream that saw him spend a season with the Minnesota Twins rookie squad. 34 Paris Cotton*, RB: Crowded backfield battle has another candidate in Cotton. Led Central Michigan in rushing in each of his last two seasons. *Denotes import The QBs5 Drew Willy: Already declared the starter. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider will get his first real shot to run an attack. 15 Max Hall: Finished up last year as the No. 1 gun. Showed guts and upside in a nightmare campaign. 12 Brian Brohm: Spent all of last year on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats injured list. A second-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2008 who put up huge numbers at the University of Louisville (second all-time in passing). 16 Robert Marve: Flashed a big-time arm at the Bombers' free-agent camp in Florida this offseason. Spent time with Miami and Purdue in college before a tryout last year with Tampa Bay 13 Jordan Yantz: U of M Bison QB can flat-out play. Has been in rookie camp before with the B.C. Lions. The rookie-camp skedAll practices are at Investors Group Field and open to the public: Wednesday, May 28: 7-9 p.m. Thursday, May 29: 2:05-4:05 p.m. Friday, May 30: 2:05-4:05 p.m. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/players-to-watch-260878581.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm expecting these guys to make some noise On O: WRs Uruttia, Bell and J.Johnson RBs Smith, Grigsby and Cotton On D: DB Leggett, Morris and B.Johnson DLs Tate, Gatling and Nzegwu On ST: PK Maher KR Tarver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Even though Leggett doesn't have a star by his name, he's an import. I was getting excited there for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd expect Urrutia will be given every opportunity to start at WR... same with Kenny Tate opposite Vega at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
