Goalie Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 First camp in a long time that it seems like they cut some guys and bring more in. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we have certainly been aggressive with roster moves in tc. Robinson looks interesting, playing making rush end. I mean 3 blocks in one year is pretty crazy. Fred williams too, another small school dominant guy, but led the chiefs in receiving last pre season, and looks like he was really good in the afl too. These arent just your average air lift imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I can't say enough good things about Westerman. He is blowing guys up in one on ones. Corney has serious speed off the edge. Veltung working a lot with the 1s, same thing with Mayo. Mayo got a lot of work yesterday with the first team too. He doesn't really impress me all that much. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have said it. We'll have to wait and see tomorrow. Thanks for clarifying and playing the role of responsible journalist. There's a lot of people tweeting out rapid-fire thought farts without any concern as to accuracy or repercussions. You saw something that looked very similar to other achilles injuries and may very well turn out to be, but it's not yet factual. There are several other reporter types who could learn from this example. WildPath and The Unknown Poster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans and media were sure he would make the active roster at the least. They picked up a younger wr when they took him off the pr. Idk why you even sign a guy if he can tear it up like he did in that pre season and you still cut him. MinisterOfD5 and kelownabomberfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBird Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Ok thanks. Lets hope he can really help us out. I gather tomorrow will be the last real work out until the game. I don't imagine he'll be ready for the game. Thinking there's a game this week sure sounds good. Exhibition? Good enough.

kelownabomberfan Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ok thanks! Other than Nichols, haven't heard much about the back up QB's this year. Anyone pushing Nichols for the #2 spot? wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few years there was a limit to the amount of roster moves teams could make (believe it was 12) after training camp started. Looks like they did away with that rule.

IC Khari Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Curious as to how Davis does, he has all the skills to be successful and with an experienced line/OC/ and receiving core could perform very well if needed. That being said I hope that doesn't happen this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ticked that I can't go to the game, but I guess I should go to my friends Wedding Thankfully I've got the Shaw FreeRange TV app on my IPhone, it picks up TSN very well ... kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the QBs currently lining up behind Drew Willy on the depth chart, put us wayy ahead of those QBs that were in TC last year.

Floyd Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Am I missing something here? Sounds like Willy is just having an 'okay' camp and Nichols is over-throwing receivers left and right... now they are Khari and Glenn?! Reviews are mixed on Bennett and Davis... Every year we over-estimate our QB depth... seems like yesterday that Buck and Jyles were the new Khari/Glenn I'd really like to see Cato or Crompton end up on the roster when they shake loose, both are better than Nichols.

Though keep in mind when we had both glenn and khari, jones was allready done. Like i Said out defence is crazy deep. So when our team 2 off in on the field and team 2 def, the d has a huge advantage. TC isnt a big evaluation tool for qbs. Especially for veteran qbs. Its for shaking the rust off and learning a new system. Weve had plenty of guys who look great in practise and tc and cant turn that into good game production. Nichols threw for 3245/19/60% with a banged up OL, little running game, and the worst offensive play calling / system this team has seen in a decade. That production is a good bit more then both crompton and cato combined. Not to mention crompton looked awful last year. Sure they got more potential, but in a no2 qb you wan a vet who can step in and run the offense in a pinch. And thats what we have.
