No way. And here's a question for you. At the end of Argo practices are the fans allowed to go down on the field and talk to the players and coaches?

The best link is to a thread that Stats Junkie started on The Extra Point: http://forums.bluebombers.com/index.php?topic=32881.0 (He says the official date is wrong, BTW.) That thread also contains a long quote from Vince Leah's book A History of the Blue Bombers on how he came up with the name.

Couldn't get that to work (it wouldn't let me paste). So I uploaded it to flickr and let's see if this works: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97114282@N05/

There's no changes on the D-line depth from the May 30th chart. I've scanned the June 5th Depth Chart but can't figure out how to add it as an attachment to a post.

Here's a pic but it doesn't really do it justice: http://instagram.com/p/aPjaO7Qey6/

This is from the June 5th Depth Chart. (Lucky I got a copy of this because there were't many of them and yesterday they were back to handing out the May 30th DC's.) Marshall is 3rd behind Sears at nickleback and Dunn is behind Marshall.

That was my initial reaction, too. Then yesterday they handed out a new depth chart and it has several noticable changes: 1) Washington has been moved from nickleback to backing up Hefney at DB, 2) McGee has been moved from backing up JJ at cornerback to backing up Sears at nickleback (hence he's been getting the 1st team reps at the past few practices), 3) Markett has moved up the pecking order and is now backing up JJ at cornerback. Reading between the lines here, I'm getting the feeling that there's pressure on JJ and Hef.

#72. He's made some nice catches.

So this must count as a third warning: Burke-on-Bombers-secondary-Im-not-happy-210092981.html Looks like Burke's not kidding.

It's Penton, what do you expect? Wally, Huf and Popp get props for re-signing their free agents and extending some of their players. But not a mention of the fact that Mack did the same thing with Edwards, Turner and Denmark. Here's a much better article about the run up to training camp: http://www.cfl.ca/article/3-to-see-ques ... mbers-camp The un-named author even gives us fans some props:

Not to single you out on the subject but I think a man who won 4 Grey Cups in 10 years as Bomber head coach should be on one of the gates instead of Brown Brown was a great player but Grant was the greatest coach the Bombers ever had & yes, agreed... he should be recognized. Grant was also a heck of a player. Although he mainly played as a receiver they sometimes put him in on defense. And in one playoff game he set a record that still stands: I think they should put up a statue of the guy.

IIRC if they are on the 42 man roster for less than 6 games they are still considered a rookie and can be at rookie camp. Yeah, there were several guys acquired in previous years who I guess still count as Rookies and were there yesterday: Anthony Woodson, Isaac Anderson, Doug Pierce, Miles Wallace, Brendan Dunn, Tyson Pencer, Anthony DeGrate, Rene Stephan, Jawann Westerman. Also, there were two guys without numbers. We think they were Caucy Muamba and Mark Dewit, the free agents we picked up.

If you paste "http://www.ourbombers.com/messageboard/index.php?c=3&sid=0d7fc45a9e75e2907a4719d01a336c50" into your browser you'll get the old index page with the message "Sorry, but this board is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I don't think it's a question of banning. I think it's just that Colin broke the site.

Here's Coach Burke's take on the new rules: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports ... 71031.html Anybody here ever heard of **** Huffman?

I can't remember which Bomber it was who said "The season I play for free, it's those two-a-days at training camp they gotta pay me for." Well, it's changed: http://www.cfl.ca/article/cfl-limits-am ... ning-camps

Thanks to that rather excellent Twitter feed they've got going on the LHS of the page, it just popped up: http://www.cfl.ca/article/burke-champin ... -sidelines

Am I just getting old, forgetful and senile or did I dream of reading an article where Burke said that they've got 9 DB's in camp because he wasn't happy with the performance of the secondary last year? I can't find it but that should be an interesting battle. Also, some of the most intriguing rookies they've brought in are on the D-Line (specially Zach Anderson and Dexter Davies). Really looking forward to seeing what these guys can do.

Wiecek wrote last night (By: Paul Wiecek Posted: 3:20 AM http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports ... 02711.html) that we can expect as many as four new signings today. At least two we already know about: Zach Anderson and Marcus Hyde.

Good job guys. As soon as I saw the name of the forum I had to register.
