Sounds like the Bombers need to make between 8-10 cuts by Monday to get down to the 65 man limit. Not sure of how many counters they currently have, but it's at least 73 and seems to be no more than 75 if I have it right - which I'm not sure I do. I'm also not sure they can hide people on the 1 game IR yet so anyone being hidden would have to go on the suspended list (which I guess is the same thing right now) or the 6 game IR.

 

If I had to guess right now ...

 

DB Patrick Hall

RB Bradley Randle

DB Vernon Kearney

LB Dominique Franks

LB Curtis Taylor

OL Corey Lewis

P Anthony Santella

WR Justin Veltung

WR Ezra Millington

FB Carl Fitzgerald

 

I'd imagine these are a few of the prime candidates. Thoughts?

 

 

 

 

I like Fitz, I hope we keep him around.

Maybe Scott instead of Randle

all I know is that Marve definately won't be one of them, considering the game he played last night (hope he shows the same results in regular season)

I like Fitz, I hope we keep him around.

 

Could also be Cronk instead of Fitz if they view him as less versatile.

The roster count is 80 players at the moment, including the 10 non-counters.

 

I believe, the non-counters and IR guys are excluded on the 65, correct?

If that's the case, then we only need to cut 5 players.

Yeah, you're right my sheet is wrong.

 

Anyways, I figured some guys will go to the IR like - Stoudermire, Neufeld, Dile and West (what's the deal with him?)

 

So my list would be

 

RB Randle (or RB Scott)

FB Cronk (or FB Fritz)

DB Hall

DB Kearney

DB Franks

LB Taylor

 

There.

That'd be a lot of money to put on the 1 game IR right off the bat.

I'd be surprised if they let Franks go right away. He had one bad play but several good ones.

Is Richards ever going to even practise? Still no word on what is wrong with him. 2-3 days is now what 2 weeks?

Wouldn't be surprised if we are working on a trade. Richards probably doesn't even want to play for WPG. With him being a lifelong Rider lover and all.

Richards is 21. That's what's up. If he didn't wanna be here he wouldn't have 1. Been drafted by us and 2. Signed the contract. I mean really. This crapping on the young guys some ppl do is insane. he's 21. What were you doing at 21?

Stoudermire, is sure on the IR. Not sure on Dile and Neufeld but it's not impossible that they are actually nicked (and not on 'vet dayoff) given their health history. West, I don't know.

 

If they want to have an extended look on some bubble guys on the final tune-up game, then they can chose to do what I have suggested, that's extra 4 guys to look at.

Portis ? Doubt it but not so good

Just based on position.

RB or 2

OL or 2

Rec or 2

Couple dbs

Maybe the kicker

Doubt any Canadians just yet

I was 21 in the 60's, a year after "The Summer of Love" to be precise. I really can't remember but then there's a saying "If you can remember the 60's, you weren't there."

Is this sarcasm?

You have a 9 year wait before he can answer that.

I;d say db Hall for sure...he was getting beat like a rented mule by that Girlie guy last night...Randall did not impress me and by the way the guys on the bench were patting Fitzy on the back after his little bull run up the sidelines... Seems they really like the guy,,,I say he'll hang on over Cronk...Much conjecture about the rest...Going to be some really good football players that will be released..

For those that have been there - Has Cronk been doing any long snapping in camp?

....or maybe he is just injured more than the Bomber care to let on right now. Which seems more likely to you? Him being injured or him signing a contract then immediately changing his mind and requesting a trade.

I'm sure he's injured.  One day morphed into a day or two, morphed into a few days, morphed into reporters not asking the question anymore.  We'll see him when we see him.  Who knows when that will be.

In case any of you want to watch the video's:

Anderson: http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/110949

Marve: http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/110943

Out of the running backs I could definitely see Scott and Randle being cut (Randle may be brought back in when he's healthy for another look).

Why the need to cut Nationals this early on?

He's got a history of concussions so they have to be very careful with him. It seems whenever a team is vague about giving details of an injury, you can bet it has to do with concussion symptoms if it's been a problem for that player in the past.
