Well first post here fellas. Great to be here. I'll update you daily as I will be attending most practices. My posts will be short and sweet and unique to what many of you may be interested in. Lets get on with the show. Day 1 is in the books.

 

BEST of CAMP

 

 

FANS great crowd. Fans were situated around the west side of the field and nice to see everyone filling the space up. 

 

Bombers mgnt They could have made the situation a bad one with TC on the field but allowed fans to stand on the field and even offer lawn chairs.

 

RICHIE HALL  What did he do? he showed up. So glad we got a respectable coordinator to coach our defense.

 

GREG CHILDS this guy just might be the player we have been waiting for. By far the best WR in camp on day 1.

 

Demond Washington came to play on day 1. Great in drills. Vocal leader with attitude for his fellow DB's and broke up pass after pass in WR drills.

 

 

 

WORST in CAMP

 

Addison Richards did not practice cause he was tired. It doesn't matter the reason you gotta be ready on day 1. Anyone that disagrees leads a weak minded life.

 

Lots of rookies sloppy practice habbits too many to name but my gosh some have zero skill and do not take to coaching. Buck Pierce and Miles needs to correct the mistakes of these players which shows me they are not hands on coaches. They are a vocal coach that instructs on a structure. That is not good coaching. The drills were extremely sloppy. Some of the players just did not listen.

Please x 2?

Please x 2?

 

why dont you stay out of my thread. thank you. typical rider fans

Yes I agree, you can have this thread back ...

I never seen Veltung's name... either good or bad. Anyone watched him and have a honest observation... Watched him with Idaho Vandals and SL Rams.

I didn't pay enough attention to him today to comment on how he looked today.

I paid attention to the punt /kick return drill and didn't seem impressed. The way he caught the ball screamed fumble if it was a regular game. It's day 1 so in not going to freak out over it.

I think I remember your posts as someone else.  Different handle, same NCAA commentary, same trashing of the CIS.  We will see how long this handle iteration lasts.

kBF, do you mean the dude that promised to be seen at training camp in the stands wearing a "white top"? I honestly thought I saw Coach Mike Kelly this week wandering around the city, holding hands with some gal.

I remember that guy... always claimed to be speaking with scouts/coaches/media in attendance, etc... entertaining at least...

Folks... Different people see different things.  I for one would like to get all the opinions, from all the fans no matter if they match the general consensus or not.  I see no advantage to kicking posters out who disagree with other posters and there's a big disadvantage when forums become nothing more than a bunch of same minded people parroting the same things.  That's really boring and will eventually lead to the better posters finding somewhere else to discuss the Bombers.

 

 

 

 

 "Anyone that disagrees leads a weak minded life."

 

Probably the 'line' of TC reports - it's hilarious, a little over-stated, but memorable.

 

 

and its so true. Its funny some fans can stick up for someone that flakes out day 1. Yes if he is injured that is a reason to be excused but he isn't injured. he is sore and tired. That shows you the mentality and the key difference of NCAA players vs CIS players.

 

Also its strange MOS would put up with that. Dave Ritchie would not put up with it. Zero chance any NFL team would put up with it. So you think (2) things. 1) why MOS is puting up with it. 2) is there something more to the story. If he really is just sore and tired, then its a huge issue.

 

Even NCAA programs wouldn't put up wit that.

 

I expect there's more to it than him being tired. If he's "sore and tired" he's never going to make it as a pro. He's played CIS football for what 4 years?? He knows how it feels to be sore and tired, and how to play through that, he's injured.

I am/was expecting Veltung to show really well and early in camp. We have enough kick returners that he is not going to get too many chances to stand out.

ehhh differing opinions are fine, blatant trolling (and poor trolling at that) is completely different. 

I appreciate the reports as much as the next guy or girl but... when some are so different from each other, it does make you wonder. I mean, for the most part a lot of the reports are very similar, maybe somebody says a guy had a good day and another says he didn't cuz he had a drop or 2 but it seems that for the most part the OPS reports are way way different than everyone elses so it does make you question the legitimacy

Please get the ban hammer out and off this troll...

I agree. The however part for me sometimes is not WHAT one says , it's HOW one says it can be an issue for some. I guess it comes down to respect.

I wonder if he will be sitting under the wave, because that's what Bomber management were going to call the roof at IGF,  to watch training camp...

Wasn't this the poster who was banned from ourbombers.com a couple years ago for posting fake training camp updates? His updates never jived with people who were actually there...

 

 

I was legit about to say this. The attitude and style are almost identical.

 

Here I thought I was the only one who was immediately thinking this!  Same posting style and everything.....interesting.

I think all the mods here were mods at OB when that person was posting .. we're watching the situation .. ;-)

I don't think it's trolling.  I think it's someone with legitimate opinions, and he just happens to be a bit of a jerk.  I'm with TBURGESS on this one.  Just because the report doesn't match up with the other few reports we've seen doesn't make it invalid.

The issue the last time was that it was obvious that the guy wasn't actually at TC, and was just inventing everything. And trying to stir up non-existent issues. If what he is saying this time around is actually happening, then great. I'd like some other posters to verify what he is saying.

Exactly. Last time it was 100% made up and obvious he wasn't even at practice.

Anyone with the arrogance to start their own thread for their opinions, I'm immediately leery of.

I didn't agree at the time and I don't agree now.  The reports never seemed made-up to me.

We're aware of it. Can you guys just let it slide now instead of letting the idea of this guy being here consume every thread he posts in?

LOL

Sooooo you must have missed the TC day report last year where he said he was there and it was raining pretty bad but it was actually bright and sunny? And when called on it he backpedaled and said well it only rained a bit.... Hey this could be someone completely different but so far it's the same arrogant remarks and claims that just don't jive with the majority of the others who are in attendance including people like Irving, Penton and Wieseck...
