All first year CFL players report on Wed. June 3rd and will have their medical and fitness testing on that morning. All CFL veterans have their medical and fitness testing the morning of June 6th.

Here's an off-topic question for you, BUCK - Are you a fan of RR from his roots at Happy Camp? There generally aren't a lot of Californians who follow the Esks or the CFL period so I'm just curious as to where your interest comes from.

Regardless, welcome.

Reading something on the Bombers (Ed Tait) that indicated that they had started their QB sessions already and that they were continuing. I'd imagine that all teams have the opportunity to bring in the QBs early for film and playbook work. It's a little much to expect them to be hitting the ground running without that, and would severely cramp the effectiveness of other 'skilled' positions trying out if the QBs aren't knowing where the balls are supposed to be going, etc.

Not sure of parameters surrounding this, but sounds like something exists.

For some reason I'm thinking that it's against either the CFL rules or the CFLPA cba to have the players start training before a certain date...

You're right, there are some parameters surrounding that with the intent of having teams not have off-season mini-camps or football drills. I have to think that they would not be prohibited from doing off-season film review or work with the playbook though.

"Guys are fighting for jobs right now and that's the way training camp is supposed to be," said head coach Mike Kelly. "I want them to understand that any one of those five who will be in the room during our quarterback school (which began Sunday) has an opportunity to win the job."

If you look at the clip that Swass provided regarding Mongo visiting to give his little man his tickets, then you will see that our QB's have at least got together for a throwing session early.

And for some reason I remember him getting fined or warned by the league about doing this...

While players can be brought in and have their own workout together, there can not be any coaches present at said workout (which is what the Bombers had in their plans).

Re: Mini Camp

I also heard KP8 on the team1260 and he said that they were out catching balls from all the QB's and that the 2 new guys had cannons for arms. He also mention that Zambranski (sp?) likes to throw on the run and that there wasn't a duck thrown on the day.

Re: Mini Camp

I know that I saw a few guys in green and gold out yesterday at 330 at clarke - probably nothing formal, but it sure made me happy to see them out there!
