Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:39:36 AMI think Texada might be the earlier favorite at CB.  He's been touted a couple of times and I think this is his 2nd or 3rd camp for us?  MOS likes persistence and tenacity.

Strange, but the name seems familiar from another team a few years back... but I'm assuming that's a different Texada?

This guy,  I think he's Ridge's older brother.

None of them stuck, not sure any even played a game for the Bombers, maybe 3rd time is the charm for the Texada family. His size is a disadvantage compared to Burrell and a few of the competitors, it looks like Younger is gradually building up the height of his secondary with most rookie DB's touching 6'-0" and weighing close to 200 lbs.

I was pegging him as a candidate for the PR and needing to beat out Javier who might also be headed to the PR.

Based on TC comments it would suggest Burrell is the leading player to win the starting role.

Moxey hasn't been practising so I'm not sure whether that is maintenance or whether he's ready for game 1. That could shift the decisions to begin the season.

what's with all our QBs flying the coop?   Wilson was a surprise!   Is the writing on the wall for #2 and #3 QBs?

I mentioned it when Ridge was signed in September.

I was out for breakfast with my Rider friend this morning in Winnipeg and two people in full on Rider gear walked in.  I said your people are here..Happy Game day!  He didn't even know!!  :o

It'll be interesting to see how the Oline holds up.  I am hoping for big improvements this year.  Go Blue!
