Nobody likes them. Every player has a painful memory of them from middle school to pro ball, and inevitably every year a couple of players hit the open market that just a few weeks ago you thought might be a lock to fit in your roster.
I was looking forward to seeing JORDAN WILLIAMS-LAMBERT as a Calgary receiver playing in Regina. But they gave him a couple of tries on Sat and he missed them both. Not what I was expecting but appreciate he had to go. Another disappointment was Colton Hunchak ! They went to him 3 times and he missed all 3. I was a bit surprised Dave didn't give him his free agency pass.
BC may already have other plans, but Antonio Pipkin may be beeping on their radar. Kevin Thompson is out for a while, and his name was never cemented on the roster anyway. A "True Short Yardage" QB may be the desire for a BC three QB game roster.?
My big takeaway from these cuts is the “REDBLACKS offensive line depth”. They have that now? What?!
If true this is a HUGE upgrade… and kinda unexpected since no teams out East have taken their offensive line depth seriously in gawd knows how long. Very smart. I guess we have to credit new GM Shawn Burke for this change in thinking. Our Bomber pass rush might have a tougher nut to crack than I previously thought. Darn.
