These kinds of players are important to teams. Maybe they're not good enough to be game-in game-out starters but they are solid pros who can fill in for injured guys without losing too much. They're usually good team guys too--the unsung players who are the glue to good teams.
I think it's a bad move and the Cats will miss him.
I luv it how so many are happy with this 3 win team. The fact is Dunbrack is not a great player, he’s run stopping nose tackle who offered nothing as far as a pass rush goes same with Wayne so we need to get rid of these guys.
This defence was the worst in the league so obviously you have to get rid guys so quit whinning about it.
No great loss. Great guy, just not good enough. He may not be making starter's salary, but he sure would be making NI veteran's salary (along with all the CFLPA perks). We need somebody who can CHALLENGE for a starter's spot, not somebody who can only fill in as needed.
Roger's loss will be a definite loss to the team. After all, he was a backup player, not a starter.
Whenever he was called on to play, he gave a good account of himself. (as a backup)
I think it’s more wondering who is making these moves? Mitchell? He shouldn’t be making football moves other than hiring a GM to do those moves. Taafe? Hopefully not, considering he could be out of here in another week or two.
I’m not real broken up about losing Dunbrack, but I would like to know why we’re making moves without a GM.
When they started him towards the end of the season, I think he did a great job. He plugged the middle and worked hard, so I guess we should get rid of him. God knows we don’t want any decent players on this team :roll:
Except for handfull at most I would be preparing to say goodbye and good luck to your favourite players no matter how nice they are to talk to or how hard they try.
When camp breaks in June you wont recognize this team.
As well needing get better starters on our D-Line
we have a need that is just as important, and that is,
for back-ups to fill in when these starters get injured
or when the starter need a break to keep fresh.
There will be a big drop-off in performance
if we use too many rookies for that job.
That won’t happen with an experienced veteran
Canadian D-lineman like Roger Dunbrack.
