Yep.

I was there for the last 30 minutes or so, didn't get to see all that much. First team offence was Pierce, Simpson, Denmark, Poblah, Watson, Adams and McCree. According to Ken Wiebe, Chris Matthews left with back spasms but it's not that serious. Fitzgerald appears to have the inside track on the #1 fullback job. Will Ford was also getting some reps in with the #1 offence. The defence looked pretty much as you would expect with Muamba out.... Parker, Labbe, McGee at LB and Jovon, Hefney, Suber, Stewart and C. Muamba in the secondary. The defence was definitely flying around out there. No fights while I was there, but they weren't in pads and there were no linemen in the skelly period. Washington intercepted Goltz on a play where the receiver (McCree? Kennedy? Not sure which) fell down after some good coverage. I saw Massey catch a nice long ball in the endzone from Chase Clement. The more I see of Brett Carter the more I think he's going to stick around in some capacity.

It sucks but at least those of us in Winnipeg get to see one of the games live. As for the second one, well, it won't be the first game I've had Bob Irving describe to me, I don't really mind.

Goltz on one, not sure about the other

Well if he stays healthy this year I have a hard time seeing anyone other than maybe Watson getting the Bombers' nomination for top Canadian

I'd be surprised if either of them is NOT on the 42 to be honest.

Dan West with two interceptions already this morning, according to Bob

Hmmm I approve

Just give the guy whatever he wants.

He is becoming a high school coach... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports ... 70251.html

From the Sun: "Meanwhile, the team also announced the release of import linebacker Daniel Sheffield, who had yet to report to training camp." Yes I know that much, wondering why though. He was at rookie camp.

I wonder what happened with Sheffield. Nice to see Renaud getting a shot, looking forward to seeing him in camp.

We all wanted to get away from road griller. Seriously.

Stephan had an injury history? I'm pretty sure his injury was a new one... Can't really blame anyone for that. Also I agree with TBURGESS... I have no problem using later picks on talented players who have histories of injuries. Pencer is the only one that was really questionable, IMO. No problem with using 4th rounders on guys like DiCroce and Woodson.

I'd love to see Chick here. He's a hell of a defensive end... Hall and Chick on the ends? That would be awesome. That said, I have a hard time seeing him land here. Possibly Mack just driving up the price for the Cats or Riders.

Agreed on Miles. I think he looks great. Thanks for the report.

Well you guys can engage in as many fantasies as you want, but Denmark will still be starting for us on day 1.

don't be fooled by speed. speed is one thing and hand is one thing. Floyd fooled us by his speed but can consistently catch the ball. From the reports, looks like the Kennedy and Massey are the fastest in rookie camp. Of the two, Kennedy has the surest hand. I'd agree with that... but I still think Denmark has them both beat in both categories. Denmark looked the fastest at mini-camp, no question, though Massey got a lot of love because he was a new guy.

I'm not too worried about it. As our 5th NI receiver, maybe we can stash him on the IR and let him heal up until he's really needed.

Jameze Massey is definitely quick but with his incredibly small size I have a hard time seeing him being effective in the receiving game. It's almost like every catch he makes has to be an outstanding catch because the ball is way above his head. Sure its nice to see great catches, but how consistent can a guy be when every catch has to be a circus catch? Still, I like his potential in the return game.

72 is Brett Carter from the Rifles. Good report Mike, appreciate it.

Signed and resigned. Meanwhile, Gavin Walls was three times the player over on the strong side. Walls, while I thought he was a great player while here.. I wonder how he would stack up to the DEs we have seen in the last few seasons.. Hall, Mainor, Hunt, etc.. (I don't count O'dell as he wasn't one of our finds) I do miss Canada though, seriously, was there a better last name donned on a jersey in the CFL? I'd still take Walls over Mainor but Hunt and Hall are studs for sure.

I won't be shocked if any of the starters lose their job but I would be surprised. I think best case scenario is the starters keep their jobs, not because they've been handed to them but because they're still the best. Experience is valuable.

This is insanity! How can I turn down a deal like that??? I'm going to be spending $50 on 50/50 tickets every game now
