OG also acceptable (Offensive Guard or Original Gansta, either way I'm good)...
Mike Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Cone, Collins, Robinson, Walker, Patrick and Celiscar gone Keeping, Knox and Richards on 6-game IR.
Blueballz Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) No real surprises for us. Too bad Patrick got injured, would've preferred him over Harris. Probably keep him on speed dial. Edited June 15, 2016 by Blueballz
bigg jay Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I would say Nate Collins is a bit of a surprise. I wonder who's cereal he pissed in? Even going back to last year, I thought he should have seen the field more.

On 1290 radio this morning, there was a bit of surprise about Collins- he had the size, experience and right attitude but apparently he has lost a step.
Goalie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Collins probably did lose a step but how can they justify keeping Macho Harris who has lost his ability to play football. I was willing to give macho a chance but 2 preseason games later... I don't know how they can justify keeping him
Noeller Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I liked Big Nate and had hopes for Johnny Patrick but oh well. Can't keep everyone! Interesting about Macho for sure.
Noeller Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Lol @ cfl for making it seem like this is a big deal releasing Kackert. He's been injured off and on for years and had been retired at least once already! Goalie and IC Khari 2
kelownabomberfan Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Posted June 15, 2016 Cone's first mistake was enrolling in the Kamau Peterson CFL boot camp in the off-season... IC Khari and wbbfan 2

I'm not surprised they cut him (although he played decent in the little time he got last year) but I am surprised they didn't "ask" him to retire again instead of being cut.
Logan007 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Is that everyone being cut from the Bomber's or just the initial few?
bigg jay Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 1st cuts - final cuts are due Saturday night (9pm local time).

I don't know how they can justify keeping him Disappointed they cut Collins but I guess they figure Thomas and Butcher have the inside rotation covered. Hoping someday soon that Cole makes a reappearance on the outside as I still think he was the best complement to Westerman. Battle now comes down to Dieke, Green and Hubbard for the last remaining DE spot.
Goalie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Dieke seems more like a DT. Hubbard and Green could both stick around
Jpan85 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Bauming was saying they think Dieke has the ability to play inside and outside

DL depth is impressive this year, especially the number of Canadians: Westerman, Shologan, Thomas, Butcher, Corney have all looked good. Richardson will have to continue to show well on specialty teams to grab a spot on the game roster but he could be in tough vs Corney. I'm not sure that we can carry both Thomas and Butcher on the final game roster, so it is possible one of those will be assigned to the practice roster. For the Americans, Cummings will have one spot, so you are right, there is only one spot left. I was impressed with both Dieke and Hubbard, but haven't really noticed Green as much.

Butcher will depend on how they use their DI they might use none on the DL then have all Canadian backups

Especially with an import kicker using one of the DI spots, and likely McDuffie or Anderson, or Flanders in another one. Starting 4 on the DL will be: Westerman Cummings Shologan 1 of either Dieke or Hubbard or Green. That leaves Corney and Richardson rotating the ends, with Thomas and Butcher backing up the inside. It may be tough to have 2 backups for the inside positions on the d-line. Both Corney and Richardson play specialty teams, so that adds to their roster-value. Thomas and Butcher don't add that same value. If Dieke can go inside or out, that may give him the edge on getting that last spot. Tracker and rebusrankin 2
