June 2, 201411 yr Second day ... here's what is floating out there already -- Briggs is back practicing -- Goodrich, Watson and Brescacin all not practicing, Goodrich is on crutches. -- Bob Wylie is back
June 2, 201411 yr I like Carter and wouldn't it be something if he was able to use this second chance and turn it into something?
June 2, 201411 yr carter was working out with milt stegall this off season, along with several other cfl players. Good move bring him in, thought he showed some skills last year in practice. Always wondered why he didn't get a shot in a game.
June 2, 201411 yr how are the NI rookies doing ? OL Goossen LB Briggs DB Jones DB Robertson OL Everett LB Eisho
June 2, 201411 yr A bit strange that Jarvis Jones performed so well last year and does not seem to be on the radar Wish we would just put Pencer or someone in at RG... the idea of an import RG just makes zero sense If anything, we need a 4 NI OL especially with Watson's health and our lack of NI REC depth
June 2, 201411 yr To answer a few questions: Nick Moore has looked very good so far. I saw him drop one ball, but other then that he's been money. He's been the primary slotback, playing some WR. It looks like the Bombers are committing Jones as a tackle. I could see him replacing January next season. With Neufeld taking the other tackle position, there's not much room for him to start. Bombers only had 4 OLs identified as tackles when I was at practice yesterday. Goossen has looked good so far. He was taking lots of the reps at centre in rookie camp and first day of camp. Eisho has good hustle, but in one-on-ones against a WR he got beat bad. Looked very, very slow. His upside will be as a ST daemon.
June 2, 201411 yr Goossen has looked so far. He was taking lots of the reps at centre in rookie camp and first day of camp. You missed a word - Goossen has looked what?
June 2, 201411 yr Goossen has looked so far. He was taking lots of the reps at centre in rookie camp and first day of camp. You missed a word - Goossen has looked what? Sorry, I fixed it. He has looked GOOD. He fits in, looks like a legit centre. Has looked strong in one on one drills and looks to be snapping the ball to the QB well, good footwork/agility. My early sense is that Morley starts the season as centre, with them working Goossen in as starter when they think he's ready.
June 2, 201411 yr Author Pretty sure if you read between the lines, the word he left out was "majestic". Or "remarkablicious" One of those. EDIT: or what he said maybe, I dunno.
June 2, 201411 yr Author Hey gbill ... have you watched the DL much? If so, how you feeling about Tate / Nzegwu?
June 2, 201411 yr Hey gbill ... have you watched the DL much? If so, how you feeling about Tate / Nzegwu? I did watch the DL a bit, but was mostly focused on the OL, QBs and WRs, and kickers when I was there. Vega, Turner, Anderson, and Gatling all looked good. Moseley was standing on the sidelines when I was there, but he looks physically intimidating. I can't comment on Tate/Nzegwu. When I go to camp this weekend and next week (I booked the week off work), I'll focus on some of the other guys. I wanna pay closer attention to Tate and Newman, amongst others.
June 2, 201411 yr My early sense is that Morley starts the season as centreGod I hope not. It's SUPER early, but I'd say its 60/40 that Morley starts the season at centre over Goossen. That's just my opinion though.
June 2, 201411 yr Second day ... here's what is floating out there already -- Briggs is back practicing -- Goodrich, Watson and Brescacin all not practicing, Goodrich is on crutches. -- Bob Wylie is back So that means Goodrich is #73. They don't seem to have any of the names/numbers of the junior players on the roster handouts. Does anyone have that info? (Yantz is obviously #13. 73 - Kurt Goodrich 45 - Tariq LaChance 54 - Braiden Watson 76 - Spencer Riche
June 3, 201411 yr I'd bring Brett Carter back for sure. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 7m Brett Carter, in street clothes and sneakers, working a little bit on-field with the #Bombers receivers. According to his agent, Carter was at IGF to sign contract with Bombers
