Posted June 16, 201411 yr comment_57213 Made official this morning Kenny Tate Errol Brooks Chris Kowalczuk CJ Tarver no surprise on Tarver. The other three would not have been my first guesses.
June 16, 201411 yr Author comment_57215 We only have 6 national OL on the roster. That is scary. sadly, we can probably find some upgrades via the waiver wire when all the cuts are made.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57216 We only have 6 national OL on the roster. That is scary. For 3-4 positions...not too bad. Considering Goosen and Morley were doing good jobs snapping the ball, it was pretty easy to conclude Chris Kowalczuk was going to be cut.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57217 IMO none of these cuts are really surprises. What did Kenny Tate do at all? He was given so many chances to make an impact. Errol Brooks just doesn't have enough size or skill and I feel like we may DI Paris Cotton (looks like he's a good returner and RB). My question is how they feel about Urutia, being that he has been given the same amount of chances as Kenny Tate to make an impact, and hasn't either.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57218 Oh, I get it from a talent level but 6 is still low. I know its a sad reflection on our previous admins.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57219 We barely have enough Canadians to fill a roster right now, I figured they would focus on cutting internationals at this point. Seems odd to cut Kowalczuk right now... if we lose a single interior lineman to injury then we don't really have anyone to step in. Unless they feel comfortable putting Quinn Everett in the lineup already.

I think he's our feature back.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57223 re: Errol Brooks, did he really get an opportunity to play in pre-season?... I don't really recall him playing in the games and I thought some said he looked good in practice.. re: Kenny Tate, is he not a natural LB? why was he not given a shot at LB?
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57224 Yeah it's a little weird to think that Kenny Tate was supposed to be that ultimate "Gary Etcheverry" type player, but ended up being cut pretty early.
June 16, 201411 yr Author comment_57225 The only reason Tate being cut bothers me is because we cut guys who weren't "Etch" types and kept guys who were and now the epitome of an Etch guy is the first one cut.

June 16, 201411 yr comment_57266 We barely have enough Canadians to fill a roster right now, I figured they would focus on cutting internationals at this point. Seems odd to cut Kowalczuk right now... if we lose a single interior lineman to injury then we don't really have anyone to step in. Unless they feel comfortable putting Quinn Everett in the lineup already. It is not typical to have so few NI olinemen, but 6 guys should be able to fill 3 spots, at least in the short term. As for Kowalczuk, what is the point of keeping him around if he's simply not good enough? We wouldn't want him on the field then anyways.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57279 That sucks but what I expected. I know. I'm sure he will find his way on to a team this year.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57286 I sense a repeat of the Paredes fiasco. We keep an average bum and cut a guy who goes on to kick 80% for some other team for the next 12 years. Sigh. I really was hoping we'd keep Maher. He had such an awesome kicking motion and such good distance and accuracy. Not a fan of this move.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57287 Let's not forget, Lirim can do all 3 kicking job. Renaud job might not be safe yet. Anybody see the Bombers give the Legacy another run?
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57289 Bob Wylie confirmed our suspicions about Kowalczuk over these last few years. Brett Maher - are we going to try to keep him around? He's so very good. It's just so odd that we go years without a decent kicker….then we get two of them at once. Lirim Hajrullahu - welcome aboard…you are not a consolation prize.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57290 The Nationals are laughing now. Count heads on the roster and the rest of the nationals make the squad by default. The sad reality league wide of simply not enough quality nationals to supply a 9 team league.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57296 damn it...was hoping we could keep both guys somehow. He'll definitely end up on someone's roster...
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57298 CK was a DelMonaco project... 'nuff said. Still, a bit surprised that Howard, Dumas and Blake survived.
June 16, 201411 yr comment_57300 I'll be shocked if we don't pick up some scrub Nationals (still sounds weird to me) from other team's cuts.
