September 3, 201312 yr per twitter Bombers ran a mini-camp of sorts today; worked out 5-6 new players, mostly DB's; will likely be a signing or two out of this.
September 3, 201312 yr Cue the 5'8" DB's. Seriously though, no chance any of these guys play this week.
September 3, 201312 yr Why not play them? Just tell them to stay at least 5 yards away from any receiver and they will fit right in......
September 3, 201312 yr Tough for non cfl players to come in and play right away. The biggest adjustment for them is the waggle of the slots. They aren't accustom to someone coming at them full speed at the LOS.
September 4, 201312 yr Not tough to play our cover 0. ie. cover no one. Looks like the village will be getting some Smurfs back shortly.
September 4, 201312 yr Why not play them? Just tell them to stay at least 5 yards away from any receiver and they will fit right in...... why don't we tell our current dbs that this is the goal? That way when they fail they will actually be in tight coverage.
September 4, 201312 yr Suber couldn't even find the ball while holding and facemasking Dressler standing still. Guy just can't make a play on the ball...ever. He's still playing at the same level he did as a rookie, hard to believe he's lasted this long. Too bad he can't face Richardson every week.

That way when they fail they will actually be in tight coverage. The only way this group of DB's could be in tight coverage is if they are drinking before and during the game.
September 4, 201312 yr Any word if they are of average or above in height? 7 footers man...real Goliaths. They'll be signing autographs on SJ Green's head
September 4, 201312 yr Does anyone know the names of the players that were being worked out? nope. Apparently work out wasn't done in front of the media.
September 4, 201312 yr Has there been any leaks lately about any players on the Bombers neg list? I keep hearing about other teams having some big names, but don't recall hearing any with regards to the Bombers. It would be nice to have something to look forward to even though there is little chance of them ever signing. Some hope to cling to at least.
September 5, 201312 yr Speaking of neg lists, Mike you seem to have a pretty good idea regarding whose on ours. How would you rate it?
September 5, 201312 yr Speaking of neg lists, Mike you seem to have a pretty good idea regarding whose on ours. How would you rate it? I would rate it as one of the more realistic neg lists in the league
September 5, 201312 yr Speaking of neg lists, Mike you seem to have a pretty good idea regarding whose on ours. How would you rate it? I would rate it as one of the more realistic neg lists in the league So when Penton had one of his CFL insiders tell him that the Bombers neg list was the worst in the League according to the insider's GM that insider/GM is full of hooey?
September 5, 201312 yr I guess it depends who's opinion of our neg list is more realistic and has more experience and value. Both are after all just that- opinions.
September 5, 201312 yr Former Green Bay Packer Aaron Rouse 6'4" 225 29 years old Thanks Mike for the insight. That's a big kid. He seems more like a LB/S type. Ian Wilde has been good this year so I wonder if there looking to replace Muamba...

I think what Mike meant, that since neg list players rarely end up as anything (Remember when Taman neg listed Deion Sanders?) that our neg list have the most potential of ending up on our roster. Penton's source may be right but really means nothing.
