TiCat Transactions

8) The Cats have released DT Tory Collins and Curtis Coker.
    Announce the signing of Imp. DT's Joe Bradley and Karl Noa, along with NI receiver Josh Boden.

    Since Tory Collins has started the last 2 games for us, it would appear that one of the 2 new DT's will dress for the BC game.

More likely Darrell Adams will be back at the DT position which,
aside from the last 2 games, has been his since Training Camp.

I don't understand.

You sign Collins, and plays 2 games for you and gets released.

You sign Coker and doesn't play and gets released.

What do these guys have to do to get a real chance? You have to let these guys play if you sign them and want to look at them. Practice doesn't show you what they can do in a game. At least give them until the end of the season IMO.

Hasn't Adams been playing DT along with Collins? Pretty sure both of them have been playing DT since labor day.

Darrell Adams has been playing all along. It's Dominic Lewis who has been sitting out the last little while.

According to the cfl.ca transaction page for Sep 25/08, it also appears that DB Ryan Glasper has been deleted from the Ticat roster and DE Anthony Hoke has been removed from the practice roster:

You are right, again, oh-mighty-one. It was those 2 guys taking first string reps.

P.S.

After practice, these new practice roster D-linemen
do one-on-one drills against our *rookie O-linemen

to see if they are an improvement over who we have.

*Jordan Rempel and J.P. Bekasiak [who is learning
to be an O-lineman and starting to come along better.]

Now we have a couple more to evaluate.

These drills are a very good evaluation tool, Tiger_Dirt

P.S.S.

Ryan Glasper is on the Injured roster now, TCTD.

I thought Troy was doing a good job at DT.
& as for the Coker being released before even playing a game, he easily could have asked for the release, you don't make much money on the Practice Roster in the CFL, He needs to make a living.

Thanks for the update on Ryan Glasper, RFTT. If he is on the injured list, the cfl.ca transactions page should use the correct “TFR TO INJURED IMP” or “EXT ON INJURED IMP” designation rather than “DEL IMP”.

I think Glasper has been cut ... he is not on the roster at all.
