Everyone is more than welcome to be here (as long as they follow the rules ) and hopefully we can keep providing content and discussion that makes this a worthwhile site to visit.

Maybe we don't want to be found.

Not to mention I. Anderson. Whom Buck made the point of singling out coming into camp as a guy he was looking for big things from. It's a fine line between difference maker and "just a guy" and Clarence, in my opinion, is straddling it as we open camp. And on a team that only dresses three import receivers you better be a difference maker. Agreed. Now that Denmark is moving to wideout, his competiton has grown exponentially. He's basically going to become the 5th option which means that the workload would drop. At some point, it might be worth weighing options with a Canadian at that #5 spot.
-
I think Denmark is going to be in tough, to be honest. Pierce or Etienne coming for him. And yes, I seriously think Etienne has a chance.
-
Impossible to tell, but probably Kennedy.
-
Honestly, I won't be surprised if Brett Carter joins our PR as a territorial claim. He's been one of the better (top 3) receivers in this three day camp.

Last day of rookie camp ... I'll start off with a few predictions. If there are cuts before main camp, I'm guessing McCree and Pavlopoulos could be two of them. Pav isn't bad but Hutchinson and especially Cameron look to be so far ahead at this point. Other things ... -- Best QB today was again Max Hall and that was WITH Buck Pierce participating. Worst was once again Clement. -- Tons of dropped balls, obviously the weather is playing a part. -- Guys that stood out to me on offense: 71, 72, 83 and 80. -- Guys that stood out to me on defense: 31, 36 and in a bad way ... 41 and 35. They just look like they're maybe a gear behind everyone else. -- They're REALLY investing a lot of effort into Carl Fitzgerald. He's getting coached personally almost all the time. One thing I find interesting is that with the amount of DL they've brought in, there are HUGE differences between the size of some of these guys. Considering they're mostly all listed as ends, I swear they must range from 230 to 280. Marcus Hyde looks fast as hell and Zach Anderson just seems to never quit moving no matter what's going on.

I'm sure I can guess what you're implying. But no. And yes, they're different. Not by much, but they are.

FANS SELECT BLUE BOMBER GREATS FOR MAIN GATES
Mike replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
While I don't disagree with you.. Brown is a recognizable face at this point.. alot of new fans won't know who Richard Harris was or Tyrone Jones.. You have to consider all the angles.. and its not like Brown was some rag player who doesn't deserve the recognition.. He was arguably 1-2 of the best interior defensive line men (and canadian to boot) that we have seen... I have to be honest, I just don't really care for Doug Brown. lol -

Mike replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I can think of about 6 or 7 people I'd pick before Doug Brown, honestly. Milt, Ploen, Walby, Poplawski, Cal Murphy, Tyrone Jones, Richard Harris, Cameron ... ok, 8. -

I know I'm going to take heat for this but I would not have chosen Doug Brown. -
... MBB 50/50 pool?
-
Totally not worth a new thread but I thought it was kind of interesting anyways. When I checked out the stadium yesterday, they had the 50/50 booths set up. Same thing as the Jets games now where you go to a booth and they print you off a ticket. Looks like they're going to follow the same prices as the Jets games too, 1 for $5, 3 for $10 and 10 for $25. But then I saw the last option. 50 tickets for $50 I had to laugh. What a waste to buy just one nowadays. Get to know your row and split the cost of 50 or hell, instead of buying 1 a game for 9 or 10 games, just buy 50 once all year and quintuple your odds.

-- Didn't see Pierce do anything while I was there, but Hall/Goltz clearly a level above Clement. Hall puts really good touch on his passes. Wasn't paying much attention to the end result because obviously the whole point is to force throws and go through reps, but it was annoying to see Clement pulling the ball down and running with it in a PASSING drill. One coach gave him **** for it too. -- The only receiver that I didn't see drop at least one pass was Brett Carter from the Rifles, although I also didn't notice anyone throw a single pass to Wallace Miles so I won't comment on him. Massey is tiny and man, is he ever tricky once he gets the ball. Whoever 70 is, he looks like a horribly sloppy route runner. -- Fitzgerald is SLOW. But he looks like a manbeast. -- I didn't have a roster but I noticed 20, 38, 40 and 41 making plays on defense in coverage. It's really hard to try and pick out defenders who DON'T look good, but those guys each broke up a few passes. -- Trevor Kennedy dropped a couple but he made one beautiful cut on a defender and in a game, he would've been gone for as long as he had to be. -- Didn't watch the punters or the DL/OL ... I saw the punters carrying around a ball that wasn't a football (rugby ball, I think?) so I just didn't even bother.

What I don't get is that I thought Taman was unreal at finding defensive ends. He's done horrible in Saskatchewan with that, yet he's pulling defensive backs out of his rear left and right and when he was here, the best he could find us was Okeydokey Imgonnagetcha

Very solid MS Paint logo. A+ effort, Ottawa. Then again, our logo is a god damn giant W so I guess I shouldn't throw stones.
-
I'm going to try and make it to the second session today.
-
Expand the blue search button in the menu on the left side, it's there.
-
If we can get 6 more participants, we can run two leagues.
-
Bob Irving saying Rifles junior Brett Carter doesn't look out of place at all at camp so far.
-
So apparently, according to what I heard, Carmon asked for his release.
-
if he plans to call the infraction he needs to go ahead and do it. It wasn't a delayed call because both teams had a player going off. I get all of that, but what did the Hawks player do to deserve a penalty on that play? He only reached up to hold on as he was being power bombed to the ice. I probably wouldn't have called either of them (Wings player was questionable), but especially not the Hawks player. It was just a terrible call all around. Saad did absolutely nothing to earn a penalty.

hmmm... i suggest a video or youtube tab for when we post? THIS! Also, as a designer, I'd suggest a logo that didn't have 4 different fonts in it. I like the football you used. If you want me to hammer one out, I can do it next week! We were actually going to open up to the community for logo designs because we knew there were some really solid designers out there. You were one of the guys I had in mine, so that'd be great if you had the time to put something together!

Second session goes today, let's keep day two stuff here.
