I truly believe that Burke should have stayed as a d-coordinator in this league. I think he struggles with the media, game management and knowing who he is supposed to "coach". As a head coach, you coach the coaches and very rarely the players. I think Burke's first love is coaching the players and he is now in a position that doesn't really allow that.

No need. I get that, if true, this situation could have been handled differently. There no victims in professional sports though. He is just an unlucky casualty of the business. No question, Pro sports is a goofy business at the best of times. It's just tough to see a team struggle like this, when you know that many of the wounds are self inflicted.

Whether it's true or not, you really come across as a bitter former-insider, who's just coming here to create some drama. Gotta just move on... No, not bitter. I still have a keen interest in the team and want success for them, especially certain member of the oline. I just answered a question...

I'd be happy to expand on anything that I have written.

He wasn't one of Delmonico's "guys". Delmonico has a weird loyalty to the guys who worked out with him through the winter and spring. Mark got exactly one rep 12 on 12 during the first two days of camp. The back was not an issue at that time, he was just basically ignored by Delmonico. The back flared up later. Winnipeg screwed Dewit over buy cutting him the day before he was going to see a back specialist, at the request of the trainer. Dewit was fighting through back issues, but was cut while injured, left with no CFL coverage for rehab. Basically a screw job from day one.
