Early day 2 of Bombers camp: I don't see Jovan Santos-Knox. He went down during some running yesterday and had to be helped off the field   

1st team defense continuing with Redha Kramdi at safety and Michael Griffin at Dime. A change from last season when Kramdi was the Dime and Griffin as the 7th DB.

DB Robert Javier is not participating this morning. On the side in uniform but no helmet.

Great catch in 12 on 12 by Ontaria Wilson. Underthrown and the DB couldn't judge it properly because of the throw...Wilson leapt over the DB and high-pointed it.

Bombers continue with Jonathan Moxey and Alijah McGhee as the corners with the first team.

Coach O'Shea just collected the full team together...sounded like to express some  dissatisfaction with pre-snap penalties in the 12-on-12 period.

Gavin Cobb is with the 1st group of receivers.

Terry Wilson intercepted by Jaylen Smith and retuned for a score. Nice hands from Smith.

Good to see Ethan Ball with the 2nd group of DBs through 2 days. The 2nd-year man appears to be the dime with Cam Allen at safety.

Punt team work...there's a big hole to fill with the team not bringing Shayne Gauthier back. Matthew Peterson is in that role today.

Collaros to Pokey Wilson for the 50-yard TD against the 1st team D.

Day 2. Who stands out early today? Put another way, which new players are seeing the most reps at CB, LG and DE. Those are the real battles with lots of players fighting to win a role.

Anything new on Santos-Knox?

Ducks hang on to the tie the series, Habs get a huge win at home.

Flyer could go in 4 straight.

Crazy how bad they were in that series. Canes get to sit and wait for a while now, which begs the question: what is with the playoff schedule?

It's just training camp. Kramdi was also tried at safety last year and it was largely not great. Wouldn't read too much into it other than it's good to get your Canadians experience at other positions for in game injuries and such. We already know he can play sam.

Again, it's the timing of when he gets reps against the fact Allen has limited experience starting in only 10 games.

I think Allen would do well at corner.

i don't, he's always been a safety

That may be true but if Allen is going to be the starting safety, he needs all the reps he can get. He only played about 8 games last year.

In that sense I find it surprising that Kramdi is getting work there on day 1. Whether Allen is the starter or at risk of being replaced by someone is a TBD. If so, I can see pros and cons for it being Kramdi.

I think Allen would do well at corner.

Our guy, DT, doing exactly what we hoped for. Thanks Derek.

Jovan Santos-Knox went down during 300s and had to be helped off the field.
They were looking at his right ankle/calf.

Pokey Wilson went down after the first 12-on-12 rep. Favouring his right leg. He's continuing in drills

300's is a shuttle drill, running back and forth. Santos-Knox just stopped running and laid down on his back. Wasn't sure if he was even hurt but within moments 3 coaches and the trainer were looking at him. He was helped off by 2 Bombers, little to no weight on the leg.

Sergio wearing glasses. That was new.

Wilson came back and looked great. Tim White did too. Several receivers took turns  looking good. Singer, Nield, Womack I noticed.

At QB I thought Collaros looked as good as I've seen in a couple years. Elgersma easily number 2, although as reported, he is raw.

Offensively, the forward lines were a black hole save the top line.

It's crazy that of the 229 goals scored this season, 102 were scored by Scheiefle, Connor, and Vilardi. Outside of those three players, nobody managed to eclipse the 15-goal mark.

For comparison, the Jets had 8 players with 15 or more goals last season.

Defensively, nobody stood out in a positive was. It's pretty staggering when you consider they were the stingiest team the previous two seasons. Obviously, it didn't help that Hellebuyck had a rough season but that alone doesn't explain how bad they were defensively.

This roster was poorly managed and relied too heavily on a handful of players. Arniel's got his share of the blame but Cheveldayoff whiffed badly in free agency last year. The latter's got his hands full this off-season in terms of addressing the deficiencies of this roster, IMO.
