Brian Bulcke released

[Will]

Figured it deserved its own thread.

[ArgoGabe22]

Vaughn Martin?

[AngeloV]

Vaughn Martin?

Don't thinks so. They like Bishop and Hall. Possibly means the return of Waud soon?

[R.J]

Well that sucks, I had high expectations of him and he only gets 1 game ?
Bishop had an impressive two games, but haven't seen much from him lately, and I haven't been overly impressed with Hall either.

[paulwoods13]

Wow. Hard-headed decision but maybe they have concluded he's not gonna stay healthy or contribute in any meaningful way. We definitely need Waud back.

[R.J]

Vaughn Martin?

It would be a good move, depending on the price of course.

[DanoT]

Cheater Jones has probably already emailed Bulcke an airline ticket to Regina.

[Neely2005]

Wow, didn't see that coming. Especially since they were using him for some of the marketing before the regular season started.

[R.J]

Release of Bulcke just numbers. Bishop has played well, Waud & Robertson close to return. Kill the Vaughn Martin rumours. #Argos #CFL

happy to see the Vaughn Martin "rumours" dead adn buried. Don't want that dirtbag wearing a double blue jersey.

Martin's release just goes to show once again, just because you played in the NFL does not mean you can get it done up here. He is a run stuffer, not really needed up here.

Martin didn't do much to impress me with the Als. He will resurface somewhere else in the CFL this season though and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he has in his new location.

Love your nickname BTW!

Interesting, and I'd bet more $M$ related; Hall and particularly Bishop (sorry Mike Hogan) have done precious little at DT lately and Bulcke gets one game ???

And I'd give Martin a shot in a heartbeat IF the price was right; yeah- didn't impress much with the Als, but also didn't get that much playing time and they go to a 3-4 look lots anyways - Martin more of a true 4-3 DT with some quickness for pass rush (so not just a big run stuffer)

[argotom]

A big surprise, like others you would have thought the team would give him a few more games to show?
Definitely injury prone, his best years with the Cats.

[jojoheath]

In defence of Martin, he has not played much in the last few years, likely just a matter of getting into game shape.

[Kenners]

this.

I suppose the same could be said about Bulcke if he is indeed healthy enough to play.

I was thinking the exact same thing Neely, Bulcke was front and centre in the Argo marketing videos.
Such is life in the CFL.

I thought to myself during the game that the Argos released Bulcke supposedly because they liked what they had on the defensive line only to watch that unit get manhandled for the 2nd consecutive game.

In their defence, they did get some pressure, but Reilly moved around pretty well, and avoided a couple of sacks. The running yardage came later after they had been on the field for what seemed like the entire game. The bigger breakdowns were in the secondary.
