Wow,

33 reps of 225lbs by our guy beating out the previous record of 30 by Braidwood.

Re: Camp evaluation results

Thats impressive, considering they had a bench press competition at the Pro Bowl this year on NFL Network and the winner Lorenzo Neal won with 38 reps. Most of the others were between 30 and 35 reps. I can do 2 or even 3 with some help...if Im feeling strong that day

I've always argued that there isn't much difference between CFL players and NFL players. We all breath the same air.

This was done by a handfull of rookies, you are talking pro-bowl members. I bet a few of our vets could equal the NFL guys.

Re: Camp evaluation results

Interesting that the latest report out of e-camp is critical that some of the hopefulls declined participating in some of the drills. Do these kids not realize that the physical ability differences between them are very small? The scouts are going to take more of a chance on a guy who has demonstrated that he has a fierce competetive fire. A good physical specimen who is coasting through is going to go lower, if at all. You can build muscle and develop skill but you've either got DESIRE or you don't.
I hope we pick the most tenacious kids there.

Re: Camp evaluation results

Some might decline due to injury or rehabing

Re: Camp evaluation results

so for anyone thinking we should draft a really great O-lineman in a high round... there aint much to pick from (as expected) Rempel may be the only serious prospect in that regard, but is he worth the #2 overall? maybe from he abundance of DL guys we find someone th work on converting to a guard - which then puts him on the same learning curve a Kabongo.. which we've seen can be a rather slow process.
I think if we want to take one of those receivers, we want to be getting someone that will be a big player for us right away - we have a good set of Canuck receivers sitting in the wings and dont need another 'pretty good' guy.

I can do three or four, depending on my level of motivation and whether I've showered that day.

Combine to combine
Tank Tyler (NFL) 42 reps
JP Bekasiak (CFL) 33 reps

Big Difference!

4 WR +DB under a 4.4 at the NFL combine
6 players under 4.7 at CFL combine (no one lower then 4.5)

HUGE DIFFERENCE!
We may breath the same air but the guys at the NFL combine sure were making better use of it

Re: Camp evaluation results

Combine workouts are ridiculously over-rated. If their a football player they should get drafted higher than "olympians in pads" or "workout warriors"

If I could even lift 225 lbs., I'd be happy.

Re: Camp evaluation results

and, what does this mean for our draft situation? Bekasiak would be a good pick-up, but do we pick Phillips considering our LB situation, or maybe Carter. Doesn't seem to be very much good o-lineman in the draft. Maybe we would draft Bauman though at receiver...

I lift that every day.

I thought Rempel was a good o-lineman. He played in the east-west shrine game and started right tackle. He looked pretty good going up against some players from USC, Michigan etc.
