  1. Yeah this isn't true at all. I tore my ACL mcl and meniscus and after laying on the field for a while I tried to get in on the next play before noping out of the game. Then I walked to my car, drove to a party and then home. And I'm no professional athlete
  2. Isn't this exactly the kind of thing you're not supposed to share on social media?
  3. Very apt description of Myles White, Mike. Makes DBs look like they're backpedalling into quicksand
  4. You know what you get with Lankford. A ton of speed but lacks the route running ability to be a complete receiver Imo. Saw him win a long ball and catch a hitch. Hope he proves me wrong
  5. Saw what a beautiful day it was going to be and took a vacation day. Took in Bomber training camp this morning. Bringing a 2 year old (some might have seen him wanting to get onto the football field) and a 3 week old there, I wasn't able to watch a ton...and let's be honest, we're all there to watch the 1 on 1s. You can definitely see the polish and level that the new guys (Thompkins and Reuben) bring to camp. Guys like Coney and Dye, who may have been the front runners to try to get a spot on the roster (or at least be the "next guy up") didn't impress me too much, and I couldn't see them being there in the end. That said, Myles White is the real deal. Looked uncoverable in the one on ones. He might not have been drawing Randle in coverage, but he was making the guy he was lining up against look silly pretty routinely. Was also lining up to return kicks. He's my pick to make the team. Canadian receivers: Daniel Petermann. What can you say. He is looking like a training camp superstar. Demski wasn't taking too many reps this practice and Petermann made play after play after play. Couple deep balls, some catches in the middle. Super excited about him. Simonise looked real good and even Henry is looking much better this year. Don't know how many reps Wolitarsky had. Pierre was helping with the receivers (off crutches I guess) along with Corey Washington (imp). Overall the receivers are looking darn good. After the receivers, the player that really stood out to me in special teams drills was Jacob Firlotte. He was getting down the field pretty quick and has an intriguing size to him. Dark horse? Quarterbacks...I think they all had their moments. In Skele I think you'd give the edge to Ross for processing the field much quicker than Streveler. Not unexpected. Streveler made some nice throws as well. Mention to Faith Ekakite who took the time to walk over to my 2 year old and give him a fist bump. By the end of practice, my little guy was way overtired but I think he had fun.
  6. Did the Bombers have any clue about this? We just cut Nelson so it would be curious if they did. Need to bring somebody in
  7. Adams, Dressler, Bowman, Demski and *insert guy who probably isn't going to get the ball thrown their way a whole lot anyway*
  8. Wouldn't surprise me if LDW got one more shot somewhere else. He just hasn't been able to put it all together.
  9. Muamba is holistically an ass-clown. Have fun in Montreal.
  10. Well, I think this is actually more likely than him being their saviour.
  11. JFG has already signed in Ottawa I believe. Also there are 4 designated international spots...so it could be Medlock Fogg, a LB AND a DL.
  12. We better bolster our front 7...
  13. To me, Demski showed flashes. I was very excited to hear that we were going to sign him. Adams, Dressler, Bowman, Demski, Coates, Harris. Pretty good if you ask me. Not to mention that most of those guys, including Harris and Flanders that can do some damage on sweeps/screens.
  14. Yeah all I'm visualizing is KG pouty face on the sideline. I'm really unsure how you can say Glenn is a better team guy. I would never expect to hear some of the things Durant has said this morning from Glenn.
  15. Where do we find the nutless monkeys? Or do we just buy wholesale monkeys and have to do the job ourselves.
  16. I don't disagree but who is our good import MLB? And the other downside is Bond could go to another team and make their oline that much better
  17. While I agree with you it's going to be hard to give up one of the best olinemen in the league because we want a better ratio.
  18. Im interested in what the Bombers are thinking QB wise going into this season. Durant would be a good backup option but then we'd probably be looking at someone to groom for our 3rd QB ie. Not lefevour.
  19. I wouldn't say it's a for sure thing by any means that the contract gets restructured. Chris Jones going to play hardball with who he wants as his starting QB? Montreal's looking for a QB too.
  20. I really doubt they traded for him with any idea other than to make them their starting QB. He will be making starters money. Is Glenn an FA?
  21. Glad we are adding another scout. We have been borderline terrible at finding impact receivers/linebackers.
  22. Agreed with the part about the draft. I'm not super convinced about the other stuff. I don't think anyone is going to say "oh man I wish this Grey Cup was in the snow" and not watch it. The writer says there is absolutely no upside. I think the fans who go to the games in the cold would disagree. Or the fans that end up not going to the games. It's hard enough getting people to come out when it's nice and warm. Do we really look forward to November football? Or are we wondering why it's not over because hockey is now on? The writer says that we shouldn't be pandering to the US. And I agree, but I'm still not sure how any of it takes away from the Canadian experience.
  23. Will be interesting to see which players wait until free agency actually opens. There could be quite a few impact receivers out there to take a look at...or there could be very few.
  24. I have a feeling he took a little less money to come back for a single year. I think he's the type of guy that knows he has something to prove. That said I think he will prove it and I'm very happy with this signing.
