Mini camp officially underway in FLA. So, which local scribes actually went this year?

Chris O'Leary's tweets seem to indicate he might be down there.

DE willie Jefferson has had a good morning here. O and D lines going hard without pads or helmets. #eskimos #cfl pic.twitter.com/QygkE5i4yj

I'm shocked someone actually went. Looks like Oleary is the only one.

O'Leary files his day one report with the Ed Journal:

Sounds like it was slow out of the gate. It'll be interesting to see how much the pace improves on day 2 and 3.

must be really hard to get that cfl tempo and intricate nuances down when your dealing with rookies.. and no cfl experienced guys there to lead the way so to speak.. this should however give the guys that do make it up to Tc a bit of a foothold on how its gonna go..

and also fair play for the journal and oleary... least someone is down there for us fans!

Gerry Moddejonge has also written an article interviewing MR. Not sure if this was done over the phone or if he's down there...anyone know if 630 ched or team 1260 has done any audio interviews from the mini camps that would be available online?

reading these articles gets me excited for the upcoming season. As years past everyone is saying the right things, now its time to start doing the right things and I feel this staff is going to do just that.

Just took a look and I must say: it felt good to hear Jones give a positive but honest review of White's first kick at the can. Not a single use of "phenomenal", "incredible", or "future game-changing star" in the whole interview. How refreshing.

Those who advocated for a coaching change from last year will know exactly what I'm talking about...

GM Ed was on Gregor today. Not sure if the recording is up yet. Would have been hour 1.

Great interview. I like the honesty from Ed. I also like that it seems that the coaches have a focus on teaching. Yelling may work in the short term but it doesn't take long before that is tuned out (Kris Sweet).
