1st & 10 | Tachinksi\u2019s Chance to Shine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\nTachinski is a player the Blue Bombers are certainly familiar with, as he was a two-time camp participant through the CFL\u2019s Quarterback Internship Program. His older brother Xander, who played at McMaster University, has also been in Blue Bombers camp, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a helluva athlete. We get the benefit of knowing him personally and having him in here before. He\u2019s a great add,\u201d said Blue Bombers head coach Mike O\u2019Shea. \u201cHe\u2019s been working at receiver and obviously he can still sling the ball, too. He gives you a couple different things you can look at. It\u2019s great to have him in here. He\u2019s a great kid, too, and a hard-working guy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been working on it for a little bit. It certainly allows him to show up this morning, step on the field, hear a play call, hear a little tip about it, and run our plays right now with less guidance than bringing somebody else. He sees it and hears it from a quarterback\u2019s perspective and now as a receiver, too. It gives him that versatility, and he can ease into it with more comfortability right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tachinski has also been on the radar for the Canadian National Men\u2019s Flag Football team, FYI, and was recently in the camp here in Winnipeg under the tutelage of head coach Paul LaPolice. That\u2019s potentially down the line, though. Right now, he\u2019s pushed all his chips into the centre of the table with the Blue Bombers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to show that I\u2019m a physical guy. I just want to show that I can make plays,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to show that I work hard, that I get in my books and I\u2019m a smart guy. I just want to make a good impression.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst day out here \u2014 I got here this morning and so I didn\u2019t really know much, and it was kinda weird being out here on the field and not knowing much. But I\u2019m going to get in my books tonight, I\u2019ll get in the meetings and I\u2019ll figure that out.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 I just feel way more comfortable (compared to last year). Last year when I was running routes I was literally thinking about my footwork in the route\u2026 right, left, right or left, right, left. Now I\u2019ve got my footwork down and I can actually read the defence and think about the play and what the quarterback\u2019s reads are.\u201d<\/p>\n
