Jace Daniels probably would have been flagged for ineligible receiver downfield though, so the penalties would even out...

Lol I always call him Jace

DL Cameron Henderson added to retired list

WR Lestar Jean added to roster (6'3", NFL experience)

WR Lestar Jean is a very good prospect. Lots of similarities in style and ability ot Adarious Bowman. I have watched him since college. He will impress. He has a couple of routes that he just can't be covered on by one person.

So he's got **** for hands and drops too many passes?

I'll take Bowman on my team every day and twice on Sunday. He has his flaws but you can't argue with his production. However, I was referring to his ability to be uncoverable on some routes by a single DB.

Lester Jean was primarily KR "specialist" when with the Texans, he wasn't that great there and the opportunities he had at WR does not make me excited for this signing.  I wish him luck but I honestly don't see him beating out our WRs to make the team.

Throw a guy a million passes and he's sure to rack up yards. I'd rather have receivers who I don't have to worry about whether they're going to drop the ball or not.

We do have an open spot. Watch his college stuff.

I agree. However, I wasn't talking about Jean's hands at any rate.

No Andrew Harris at practice today, but they're saying "Nothing dramatic. Excused absence."

he can take all the time off he needs, as he has nothing to prove.  No point wearing him out in TC - he's going to be carrying a lot of load this year.

Excused absence as in "I'm Andrew Harris *****, if I want the day off I get the day off"?

This must be a joke because Andrew would never do that.

After the 1st day of the CFL training camps, it is noted that the Blue Bombers are the runaway winners of the best training camp uniforms.

And it ain't even close.

You know when you look at the royal blue shorts and imagine them as game pants with the similar coloured jersey, an all blue look wouldn't be that bad for a change once and awhile. Especially with that amount of gold trim on them ... (ready for my flaming from fellow oldtimers )

What is shows is that 17to85 watched Dave Chappelle doing his Rick James skit or at least heard about it.  

Its been a few years too.

didnt even notice richards out there (if he was playing) only hair that stood out for me was Butcher, Waggoner and one player with like red or pink dreads

I thought richards shaved his head tho

When I showed picture of Richards with short hair to my girls they sighed at the loss. 

I was hoping he wouldn't shave it off, but just style it.  My favorite is the "Avalon".

 

I liked this tweet.

FWIW harris looked sharped yesterday on day one, so he wasnt dogging it. If the coaches are ok with him not here today, its probably for good reason

The first play he runs by his defender and makes a great one handed catch then leaves his man in the dust.  Lots of big plays, not that youd expect much else from a highlight reel. Looks like he tends to catch the easy between the numbers passes with his body. But when the ball is thrown low, high, behind or leading him he does a great job snagging it with his hands. There are a good few guys every year on nfl PRs that make a circus catch every practice or two, but body catch and have some drops on easy passed for this exact same reason. That said, this video is 5 years old and hes been around the nfl a good while.

 He ran a 4.6 40 which isnt blazing, but when you watch him in game and he reaches top speed with in a couple steps. Runs away from a lot of defenders too He looks really fast 0-20 yards and 40+. That and nifty foot work and good moves is why i imagine they tried to turn him into a KR. Clearly plays faster then 4.6, strong and a strong jumper too. Isnt a tackle breaker despite his size, but one of those guys who doesnt just fall over at contact. And he clearly isnt afraid of contact with lots of over the middle plays, and catches in traffic. 

The NFL knocks on him were not a good route runner, inconsistent with catches, Doesnt block, and isnt a high motor guy. But in college he looked like a solid STs cover guy. That and the length of time he stuck in the nfl I tend to think he isnt a low effort guy. 

Id say hes some where between chris brazzell and chris mathews. Clearly has all the potential in the world. Size, speed, hands, can jump and is big and strong. Really interesting to see what he will do.

Fortunately, not true...... Bowman still drops as many as he catches. It's just that every second passing play is to him. One of the most over rated guys in the league.

every other play goes to him, and they won the cup last year. I wish our players were over rated like that.
