Posted June 14, 201312 yr comment_4475 The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have announced the following six players have been released from their roster: Non-import Punter Brett Cameron Import Linebacker Chad Faulcon Import Defensive Lineman Marcus Hyde Non-Import Punter Tim Hutchison Import Defensive Back Sam Pope Non-Import Defensive Back Jawann Westerman The Blue Bombers return to the practice field this morning from 10:15am-12:45pm as they prepare for their second preseason game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday, June 20th.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4478 I'm shocked that Desia Dunn is not on this list. Same with McCree, but maybe the familiarity with Crowton gives him a longer leash. The only reason I can still see Dunn being around is that they need a DB to beat up on in practice to boost confidence.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4481 I'm shocked that Desia Dunn is not on this list. Same with McCree, but maybe the familiarity with Crowton gives him a longer leash. The only reason I can still see Dunn being around is that they need a DB to beat up on in practice to boost confidence. They may see some things in Dunn that they'll try to correct in the next week perhaps. Dunn plays special teams too and was the one that laid out the first block that sprung Massey on the returned missed field goal. Maybe that saved him for now.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4484 The thing is Dunn has looked great in practice. Probably want to get a look at him in a second game to see if he bounces back.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4493 Sad to see The Legacy get cut, but hopefully a PR spot is in his future...
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4496 if his name wasn't Cameron, would you care about offering him a PR spot?
June 14, 201312 yr Author comment_4499 He'd be more likely to be offered a PR spot IF he were amongst the last group of cuts .. didn't do enough to separate himself from Pavlopoulos let alone unseat an incumbent.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4504 Yeah, if Billy Alphabet is better then he should get the PR spot. And he is.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4506 Bummer about Cameron, I really would have liked to see him make the cut. Hamilton thought he was worth a look before we signed him, so he may yet show up on someone else's PR, if not ours.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4521 would like to see Cameron kept also but on the other hand Pav brought a lot to the table though since he can do all 3 kicking chores.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4530 Billy P is also a non-counter. We can keep him on the PR and not have him take up a spot since he's a 2013 pick.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4532 Cameron is not one of the top 2 punters. No sense keeping him on the PR. Sucks to say.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4542 Ouch! The guy who got literally half the points of our last game got cut. Coaches aren't screwing around...
June 14, 201312 yr Author comment_4544 Not that there was any question of it but Burke also named Renaud as the team's punter.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4547 Ouch! The guy who got literally half the points of our last game got cut. Coaches aren't screwing around... That was a weird looking boot but he did get it through. He was here to push Renaud though and couldn't beat him out.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4551 If Cameron pushed Renaud to be better, then Cameron's left a positive impact on this team and thanks to him for that. But no one should be on this team just because they have the right last name. The Blue Bombers have enough problems without adding a Kevin Feterik dynamic.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4568 Cameron should be invited to be on the PR, imo. Why? Because his last name is Cameron? Man, we've got to build a winner not be full of sentimentality.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4604 If we do end up holding onto Pavlopoulos as well, I really hope that they groom him to be the starter for all three kicking positions. Sad to hear that Cameron was cut, but that doesn't mean his career is over, so we'll just have to wait and see. Only real surpise out of all of this, is how in the world in Dunn still on the roster ?
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4629 FYI - non counters become counters at the end of camp and count on the PR. Sorry
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4636 Did anyone else think David James might have been cut? He was beat quite a bit out there.
June 14, 201312 yr comment_4647 Remember you still need legs and practice bodies to make it thru the preseason , sadly but can't run the starters into the ground.
June 15, 201312 yr comment_4683 Did anyone else think David James might have been cut? He was beat quite a bit out there. The only reason I know who that is is that in every Argo offensive highlight he was chasing after someone after getting beat.
