Cut Down Day - June 23, 2010 Its always hard to deal with Cut Down Day. You build new relationships with new teammates every year and you want to see everyone succeed,but you know in the back of your mind that some people won't be there when the season starts. Guys are happy when they see there stuff still in there locker and know they have made the team, but I just try and relay that the team is only from week to week. Without growth in one's abilities he can easily be replaced. Its a driving force in my mind that they are always looking to upgrade. There are guys working hard at home waiting to get an opportunity to take my job and anyone else who plays. Every day your not going to have a great day but you have to have the inner strength to not let it effect the week or even the game. Cut Down Day in football is a lot different then other sports. Without Guaranteed contracts your life span as a player is always ticking down. Look back at past years, CFL All-Stars get cut and not find another team. Your Job is never done until you hold the cup in your hands, but its only over for a couple months because the process starts all over again. Its a crazy life when you play football but it keeps you pushing and wanting more. It keeps you humble because you know it always comes around.
