Wow, I am surprised of John Bender's release. The Stamps were very high on him in the off season. Zac Carlson just doesn't look good last night. I guess missing those days in the training camp really hurt his chances. I thought Marko Mitchell will make it as a backup but I guess Jake Allen beat him out. I was actually impressed with Allen last night against the Eskimos not because of his receiving ability but blocking as well. Deon Murphy is a skilled and fast receiver/returner but I noticed he got scared last season after getting hit and missed a game. One thing I hate was when he admitted he is always looking for the sidelines instead of going in the middle whenever he does return. So long Murphy. McNeal, Mitchell just lost out on the numbers game. Way too many good import receivers for Stamps. Matt Walker was in a tough competition as a FB against Cote and St. Pierre and Cornish for non-import tailback. I guess I don't have any complaint on Huf's move today. I am sure some of these guys(released) will be sign somewhere else. I am glad Huf kept Coker. He looks good and is a total opposite of power RB Joffrey Reynolds.
