INSIDER: Hufnagel on cuts
June 21, 2008
The Stamps made final cuts on Saturday morning and veterans Terrence Patrick, Trey Young and Crance Clemons were among the casualties.
"Trey was the hardest one to make," said head coach/GM John Hufnagel. "He's a very good football player and a good guy. But we have a lot of depth at linebacker and with the way we decided to set up the roster, he became a victim of numbers. We thought it was important to keep another middle linebacker type, Matt Grootegoed, so we had to let Trey go.
"With Terrence, we tried him at the quick end but Mike Labinjo and Justin Phillips came into camp and performed really well. We moved Terrence inside to see how he could compete there, but he didn't play good enough to earn a job.
"Crance was hurt for much of camp and Dwight Anderson beat him for the (cornerback) job."
The Stamps can add players to their seven-man practice roster on Sunday, although Patrick, Clemons and Young will not be among the candidates.
Here's the full list of cuts:
• Defensive lineman Terrence Patrick*• Linebacker Trey Young*

| While I am not so lucky to be living in Calgary (I live in Victoria) not only for Football and watch the Stampeders or for Hockey and watch the Flames, I have followed both Teams since 1947 when in 1948, Les Lear coached the Team to the Grey Cup. There were fellows like Spaith, Sugarfoot, Woody Strode, and many others that followed, including Earl "The Earthquake" Lunsford so I have never really lost touch with my Calgary Roots. You have a great Team, great Coaching Staff, just believe in each other, support each other and there is no reason you can't win the Grey Cup. I'm counting on you so don't let me down. All the Very Best Chuck | |
