Kyrie Wilson starting the season on the six game injury list does not bode well for his future with the club. Hopefully he will recover but this provides an opportunity for someone new to step up and take the job.

I had hopes for Heiligh (WR) and McGhee (DB) 
A little surprised they dropped Hallett jr, was he the one that was injured?

Yes Noah Hallett suffered a serious injury in 2022. With all the rookie Canadian DB's we have I don't expect him back.  11 games over 2 seasons and only 2 in 2022.

We might even see Ford return from NFL tryout by Sept.

Camp was super well organized and orchestrated!

Schoen Lawler and Demski all took turns creating ooos and aaas from the nice crowd!

Gavin Gardner had a couple real nice grabs including a deep one
As did Tim Knuettel who caught everything thrown to him

M.Bailey had only a so so day with a couple drops

Zach and Dru looked good throwing
Jones pretty meh

Brian Cole #41 had a real nice Pick!
Good break ups by Parker Holm Nichols and Barrington

Lines tough to judge as there was no tackling. No pads today. One on ones was far from where I was sitting.

Brady was running hard and Schoen is king of the endurance wind sprints!

Lawrence was limping around but stayed in

Did not notice the Agodosi situation

Saw Bauming in the can lol. To my dismay he never heard of GoldMember. Booooo!

Cedrick Lavigne cut? The kid had nice size and a good motor. Montreal will probably snap him up by the end of the day.
