Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: 2026 Rookie Training Camp

John Hodge is based in Wpg. and probably attends every Bomber practice, but he may have too much on his plate as a main contributor to 3DN, everything he does is channeled through that outlet.

I dont think he attends all the practices.

@DTonOB who else besides yourself attends the practices regularly.

I believe alot of the media show up at the end of practices to interview players and attend O'Shea's press conferences.

He throws a few tweets up. And it's exactly what I want to see, I just wish there was more of it.

These are the little things that are going to pop up as you make changes. The league and teams and players are going to have to troubleshoot as things come up. It's why you don't make so many changes at once because you're not going to be able to put out one fire before the next one starts.

A real issue is the CFL under Johnston moves ahead with these decisions without fully consulting all effected parties, thus unintended consequences. Apparently Walters beaked off about these 2 issues although I don't know on which medium he did so, he has to be careful or he'll end up being fined for insubordination.

3DN raised a few interesting points in the podcast below, by moving the season up 2 weeks the CFL will now hold their draft before the NFL draft, which likely will result in more wasted picks on Canadian players that get drafted by the NFL.

Moving the season up 2 weeks also interferes with the university cycle which typically ends in early May, meaning some students will still be writing exams and may not be able to report to TC on time, plus dorm rooms will not be available as cheap accommodation, which is a budget item all CFL teams rely on.

Not even seeing much reporting from Derek Taylor, he's more than capable of sharing his opinion. What does Doug Brown do when when he's not doing colour for CJOB?  Surely that's not his only job...

I'm hoping Elgersma does well, and has a successful career as a qb in the CFL.

He's a sales manager for a medical technology company.

No kidding, I'm reading updates from whatever off season/mini-camp thing the NFL is doing right now and it's night and day. And I know it's the NFL. But what I'm reading on twitter is just a daily update from the Bengals version of Ed Tait. He does 5 thoughts from each day of camp. It's really interesting.

And it's exactly what I used to be able to read in the freep and sun on a daily basis in the min-2000s.

We need an entrepreneur with a decent mobile phone and a step-ladder to park themselves on the sidelines during practice, shoot some video, and post it with some commentary on YouTube. Reporting on Bomber practices is a void calling out to be filled. Could catch on - at least with the diehard fans who follow this board.

I've been asked to put my phone away when taking pictures at practice, lol.
