I was Sunday and Monday's practices and O'Leary-Orange didnt practice in either. Grant, Bighill and Tyrell also wore jerseys but didn't participate in either practice. Briggs wore a jersey on Sunday but not yesterday. Wilson didn't wear a jersey at either. Looks like the only guy that practiced Sunday and not Monday was RB Johnathan Rosery.

Another day off for Biggie today.

People need to keep in mind that Grant can see the field on offence replacing a Canadian for up to 49% of the snaps.

I noticed the size of the rookie kickers as well. They're all pretty built. They didn't do any kicking at the end or after practice. They would have done it beforehand. Funny that the new kickers have to wear blues jerseys due to the number of bodies in camp.(they are doubling up jersey numbers for a lot of the players) Wilson was at practice but there was no sign of Hansen. My early money on American Rb is Jordan Salima. He has nice size and seems to have good speed.

Neither were Briggs, Tyrell, O'Leary-Orange and Grant.

He's listed as one of invites from the Rifles: Winnipeg Rifles #78 Joseph Funk-Clements, DB #77 Brandon Kamenz, DB #79 Keyshawn Gaskin, DB #73 Mekhi Tyrell, WR

FIVE TO WATCH Topping our ‘To Watch’ list a year ago was receiver Dalton Schoen, who then went on to lead the Canadian Football League in receiving and being named the league’s Most Outstanding Rookie. That’s a high bar, but here are a handful of fresh faces to begin tracking now: #90 DE Jadrian Taylor: The Blue Bombers could use some import depth behind Willie Jefferson and Jackson Jeffcoat and Taylor, who spent two years at UTEP, is one of the candidates to track during camp. LB Barrington Wade: Has had NFL looks from Baltimore and Denver, has impressive testing numbers, and caught the eye of Bombers scout Cyril Penn last year at Broncos training camp. WR Michael Young: Played his college ball at both Notre Dame and Cincinnati before NFL opportunities last year from Indianapolis and Houston. The Blue Bombers receiving corps is stacked, but that doesn’t stop management from looking. #49 LB Gee Stanley: An intriguing prospect in that he can play linebacker and could also get a look at the Dime spot. That versatility can be key in the CFL. DE Aaron Sterling: Similar situation to Taylor, listed above. Check out Cyril Penn’s piece on him from late March here: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/03/28/tales-from-the-scouting-trail-aaron-sterling/

They may not be the most stacked this year according to some.

And the fact the poor snap from the centre didn't slow Collaros down and that he knew exactly where the line of scrimmage was. I'm equally impressed with the team going for it with 52 seconds before half. Many other Bomber teams have just taken a knee in those situations.

Lol. You need to imbrace it like the Bombers have. The intro to Darren Cameron and Ed Tait's Handled Internally podcast includes Kelly's infamous quote.

Walters has mentioned there is going to be separate competitions for back up QB and for the short yardage QB postion. It's going to be interesting to see how the QBs will be deployed during camp.

The Blue Bombers today announce the signing of American quarterbacks Cooper Callis and Josh Jones, American linebackers Christian Dixon and Barrington Wade, American defensive end Jadrian Taylor, and three 2023 CFL Draft choices; defensive lineman Tanner Schmekel (35th overall), running back Jonathan Rosery (62nd overall) and defensive lineman Collin Kornelson (44th overall).

Times haven't been released yet but I image practices will start around 830-1000.

Barrington Wade was justed signed yesterday. 6 foot 1, 232 pounds. Was on the Bombers' neg list for awhile. Spent time on the Broncos' practice roster and got into 4 games in 2021. Was released by Denver at the end of Aug last year.
