Posted June 16, 201312 yr comment_4980 Lots of guys going to get chopped from all 8 rosters by midnight tonight... looks like the Stamps went first: The Calgary Stampeders have released the following players: ·Importoffensive lineman Leonardo Bates·Importreceiver Josue Paul·Importreceiver Shaky Smithson·Importreceiver Terence Jeffers-Harris·Importdefensive lineman Aronde Stanton·Importlinebacker Rod Davis·Importdefensive back Jerett Sanderson·Importdefensive back Jalil Johnson i guess Rod Davis couldn't stay healthy and TJH was made expendable by young guys... The Argos have also released the lone remaining DB veteran on the roster Pacino Horne allegedly to allow him to pursue NFL interests... don't know about that, but he was seen in the parking lot at practice yesterday complaining loudly about needing to get paid. Some wonder if he tried to use the lack of returning vets in our secondary as leverage for a raise.
June 16, 201312 yr Author comment_4984 wow having an entirely green secondary is something else. Jalil Carter covered for Watkins in the final 2 playoff games and did well. Watkins' "personal issues" hopefully are resolved soon, he's a big-play guy. but yeah... i hate replacing an entire secondary 2 seasons in a row. hopefully Jones can pull another rabbit out of his hat.
June 16, 201312 yr comment_4985 Pacino Horn sounds rather douchey. You wonder why he would want to leave the douchiest team in the CFL. He must fit them like a glove.

He must fit them like a glove. not a great attitude to have. it will be very telling to me if we do not pursue Hefney. if we don't, i can only conclude that Jones is happy with what we have.
June 16, 201312 yr comment_4990 So TJH has been with Winnipeg, Hamilton, Saskatchewan and Calgary? Am I missing a team A new secondary has to hurt To.
June 16, 201312 yr comment_4991 tjh beware the sophomore jinx. but my sophomore season has already come ay but not gone.

June 16, 201312 yr comment_5001 Jalil Carter covered for Watkins in the final 2 playoff games and did well. Watkins' "personal issues" hopefully are resolved soon, he's a big-play guy. but yeah... i hate replacing an entire secondary 2 seasons in a row. hopefully Jones can pull another rabbit out of his hat. For a lot of reasons, I hope Jones gets his comeuppance. At some point... His defense get their collective asses handed to them over a season. Lost all respect for him the way he bailed on the Stamps & the way he went about it. Karma's a *****.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5022 Second time LA Bamba has been cut... Rod Davis may be of interest but most other cuts are useless
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5028 Remember when Bamba was a huge prospect? Been cut by two teams, yet Mack gets flack from Etienne who still is on the same team and looking to play a more large part this year.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5039 So according to CFL.CA there were supposed to be more Bomber cuts today but I didn't see any more after Hefney.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5040 http://www.cfl.ca/article/making-moves-teams-start-trimming-rosters Anyone else find it ironic that the Alouettes cut Rod(ney) Stewart in the first round of cuts???
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5044 Been cut by two teams, yet Mack gets flack from Etienne who still is on the same team and looking to play a more large part this year. Bamba went in the 6th round, so it's not really the same thing.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5048 Bamba went in the 6th round, so it's not really the same thing. Didn't he also slip (a bit) due to the fact his agent is a giant ******?
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5067 Didn't he also slip (a bit) due to the fact his agent is a giant ******? Yes. As of April 2012 he was ranked 11th (I think this was the 'final' rankings): http://cfl.ca/cfl-scouting-bureau-april-2012 In September 2011, he was ranked 6th: http://www.cfl.ca/page/ecamp-scouting-bureau_september_2012
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5075 Go Duane Ford with the accutate predictions! Why didn't he get final say again?
June 17, 201312 yr Author comment_5090 Argo cut list K/P Anthony Alix, NIP, St. Francis XavierWR Tyler Beiler, IMP, Bridgewater CollegeDL Jeremy Geathers, IMP, UNLVWR Quincy Hurst, NIP, ManitobaDB Djems Kouame, NIP, MontrealDL Antonio Leak, IMP, Henderson StateFB Mike Montoya, NIP, Wilfrid LaurierRB Quinn Porter, IMP, Stillman CollegeLB Jake Reinhart, NIP, GuelphLB Paul Spencer, NIP, ConcordiaCB Pacino Horne, IMP, Central Michigan Geathers is a bit of a surprise... many of us thought that he and Donte Paige-Moss (another, early surprise cut) would be our import DEs Quincy Hurst looked good and drew praise but apparently got hurt in the Bomber game... no details on that that i can find Alix may stick on the practice roster Horne was the big surprise yesterday Kouame was switched to DB (he was drafted as a receiver) but maybe was made expendable by Gabriel? Reggie Williams still hanging in...
June 17, 201312 yr Author comment_5098 Surprised they cut Geathers. He's the guy who picked Hall off right? no, that was a different DE... i think it was Williams?
