Bombers start trimming

The little I saw of Boyd in the Argo game yesterday Boyd looked like hot garbage.

First pro snaps, what do you expect?

Surprised they kept Kris Adams and Jace Davis. Neither did anything in the 2 games.

Also surprised that we don't have any import RB's on the main roster, just Flanders on the PR, which means we can't use him during the game.

Slightly surprised that Green won the DE spot.

punted twice in the last preseason game. and some in TC. 

I was hoping Pav would make it as a punter. He was so weird looking he reminded me of Bernie Ruoff.

pretty much. Not to mention his first play time in the cfl also. usually a guy like that is groomed a year before you expect much. Which leads me to believe he might be problematic.

Ah...better than what I saw. Obviously.  He reminded me of Joe 747 Adams. Couldn't hit the side of a barn.  Just terrible accuracy.

Harris goes down and we have to start Hurl at MLB or Loffler at safety.

I agree, I think it's a mistake not to have Flanders on the roster as he outperformed all other backs on the ground in both pre-season games and that includes Harris.  They gave the backup job to Lochard without a single carry in either pre-season game, meanwhile Flanders will sit on the PR until Harris is injured or he rots.

Flanders played garbage minutes though and got a lot more carries then harris. Harris looked better against better competition with less touches.

Idk why we didnt have lochard carrying at all. Wonder if any of our WRs could back up rb. Maybe mcduffie...

Wasn't Lochard injured during preseason?

idr there being an injury. I dont think he carried in pre camp either. I guess you CAN make the club from the tub. If you have the right pass port.

Yes, so he officially "made the club from the tub."

Vernon Adams looks like a keeper for them tho. That kid has a lot of skill 

So Medlock AND Castillo are on the roster?

These cuts seem weird.

Can't McDuffie fill in for Harris in a pinch too?

Me too. I guess carrying two kickers is trendy now.

That's two import kickers, I'm wracking my brain but I can't recall that being done before.

Castillo is fine but I remember LH being our kicker of the future too...

Seem to have kept imports at the expense of Cdns...

I'm sure he'll be hidden on either the one or six game injured list. 

Except players on the 6 game IR can't practice for the first 4 weeks.

thats what i would imagine. Weve had to do it with a KR before. (keith stokes) Or maybe one of the nucks like JFG

So what exactly would you have done?  Keep a kicker that wasn't very good for the sake of his passport?  LH wasn't able to perform.  We ended up getting one of the best kickers ever to replace him.  Too bad he's US born but it is what it is.  At the same time we're hanging onto a kid that shows some promise.  Nice to have him as a backup, or more likely, trade bait. 

Castillo can punt kick fgs and kickoff. He's insurance.  I'm not convinced he makes the game day roster but.... if he does its not a terrible problem. Cdn depth isn't an issue really.  

Interesting crowd here. Last year we start 8 CDNS people ask why. This year looks like the minimum 7... people ask why pretty much. Our cdn depth is much improved.  Which cdn besides Matt Bucknor who looked terrible in pre season did we get rid of that we shouldn't have?
