Day two featured a change of weather conditions, as the beautiful sunny skies previously enjoyed during rookie camp and day one were replaced with a cool breeze and dark clouds in the sky.
– OL Peter Dyakowski was dominant early on during one-on-ones with the defensive line. He demonstrated his brute strength and punished defenders during the first practice. Dyakowski has also been busy shooting some behind-the-scenes footage for Ticats TV. His first video blog entry can be viewed by clicking here.
– Geoff Tisdale recorded the first interception of the day and his first interception of camp by leaping to snatch a Quinton Porter pass.
– Miami Dolphins scout Duane Joseph attended practice today. He and general manager Bob O’Billovich spent some time discussing former B.C. Lion/current Dolphin Cameron Wake.
– Safety Sean Manning took home the ‘Right Place At The Right Time’ Award on Monday, as the second-year Ticat made two interceptions off of tipped balls. Credit DB Bo Smith and LB Matt Castelo with the assists.
– RB Kenton Keith was a spectator on Monday. According to coaches, Keith was performing at a high level until he was struck on the side of his leg during inside run drills on day one. He’s currently listed as day-to-day.
– The first overall draft pick in the 2008 CFL Canadian Draft, Dylan Barker, made a nice play to grab his first pick of the camp. Barker has looked good thus far after missing all of last season with a leg injury suffered during the pre-season.
– DB Carlton Brown made a nice one-handed knockdown on a Jason Boltus pass intedned for WR Chris Davis. Brown looked beat initially but showed great closing speed to get to the ball.
– WR Willie Quinnie showed his athleticism by hauling in a long pass after getting spun around against Bo Smith. Quinnie suffered a leg injury later on in practice and did not return.
