Maybe Mack was onto something when he decided Goltz should get the rest of the season to develop...
Contrary to popular belief Mack isn't the **** who struggles to tie his shoes that everyone seems to be painting him as since he's been fired. Makes a hell of a scapegoat though.
He's a great scapegoat. Blaming everything on Mack also plays well with the "I told you so" and "we knew all along" crowd.

Of course I'd still say our OL is in better shape than Edmonton's. They are REALLY struggling. Reilly is getting killed out there.
My theory on why Mike Reilly hasn't been injured yet:
This is his secret identity.

I was driving home from Whistler yesterday and listening to the game via the internet on my phone. I decided to go with the Calgary feed. I couldn't believe the low quality of the Calgary commentators. Repeatedly, they cut down the Edmonton team and called them all kinds of names, like "pathetic" and "stupid". I couldn't believe the lack of respect. I laughed my ass off listening to them trying to downplay the Edmonton comeback - first Edmonton gets a TD to make it 37-13, and they were like "well that means nothing, this game is over", and then when it was 37-20 they were "well this is just about making the score respectable, but this game is completely over", and then when it suddenly became 37-27 they were still nattering on about Dickenson taking out all of his starting offensive guys to "make sure they are ready to play next week, as this game is over". I got home to start watching the game live just as Edmonton scored their final TD so I didn't get to hear the rest of the Calgary excuse-fest. All I have to say is - thank heavens we have Bob Irving. Calgary's radio guys suck.

With Etienne and Kohlert both likely out for the next game, I would suggest starting 4 import receivers (hello Mike Sims-Walker) and bringing Pencer onto the roster and starting 4 non-import OL.
I don't see any downside to this plan. It's not like Swiston-Pencer tandem at tackle could be any worse than Boatman/Douglas. And it would also mean we would have our only NI receiver as Watson out there, and we could keep Poblah off the field in favour of Sims-Walker or Doug Pierce. It's win win.
-
Are we going to see Pencer at any point this year, I know this is the first week he will be available.
If he is healthy, they would be stupid not to get him in the lineup to at least see what he can do.
If Sask can start Heenan at tackle this year after only one year, there is no reason why we can't start subbing in Pencer for at least a few plays a game.

What have we got to lose? Another game? At this point, let's get all of these "diamonds in the rough" as much playing time as possible. Get Pencer in there swapping out with Swiston at tackle. We need 4 NI's on the O-line, gives us so much more flexibility, including getting an import in at Safety and getting Cauchy off the field.

It just really seems to me that this whole "Goltz has no accuracy" thing really exploded after he missed Matthews on that one throw in BC. If we're using one bad miss to jump on a guy then I don't think there's a qb out there immune from that criticism save maybe Ricky Ray but Ray is just a freak.
I lost it in that BC game when Goltz had Simpson all alone standing on the sideline and he one-hopped it in front of him. Just inexcusable at this level.
-
Ok but how about when you're throwing 50% in practice and in games? Then what? If he's not improving in practice then he's not going to get any better in games.
Please. I've been to practice and training camp dozens of times over the last 3 years and he looks the same as he did on day one. Overthrows and underthrows the most balls of any QB we've had here in that time. It's naive to think it will get better by playing in games.
It's a good thing we've invested in a QB coach then to help Goltz develop.
-
We should trade for Ray.
and Tate.

-
Calgary should sign him to replace Nik Lewis.
Yeah. We don't need him....
-
I could see this causing attendance at Argo home games to drop below 20,000. Oh wait, they were below 20,000 even with Ricky Ray playing.

Discuss away as the CFLPA has declared him a Free Agent based on a ruling that was handed down by the Ontario court today
so you can just walk away from contracts? Might as well save the paper of writing anything down and just do every player deal via verbal commitment and handshake.

#Bombers are piping in the sound of crowd cheering at practice today. Write your own obvious punchline.

Hey guys I will be on Global Regina's morning show tomorrow at 6:30 Regina time. Hopefully I am able to hold my own against the Rider fan they are also having on.
am or pm? Oh morning show - never mind....
Is it streamed?

Nips are a scarce commodity hence their survivability and the need to recycle them.....it will only get worse when u need to stock Ottawa. So there is a difference between the nips moving around and someone else's cast off imports.
You might want to consider using a different term than "nips". This sentence could be read a completely different way if you were a red neck.
I laughed real hard about him using that. He means NIs or NIMP's...but NIP....that's something else altogether...
I wonder what his abbreviation is for a non-import guard.

As per @Sportsnet #Argos QB Ricky Ray does not need surgery but is expected to miss six weeks. Zach Collaros to start Tuesday. #Bombers

The thing is people (especially the media) like to mock or critisize these small moves. But I don't see it that way. It's about getting better one player at a time. Its going to be painstaking and lengthy.
Kelly is a little better then Anderson. Peach is a little better then Harris. So on and so on. And one day you are a .500 team and then you find better players again bit by bit and one day you are 12-6. I hope. So yeah these moves are meh and most of these players have less then stellar resumes. But they can still be an improvement over the guys who got you to 1-7.
I think that Walters spent the last two weeks poring over just how Taman patched together the Riders with other teams cast-offs. The one thing Taman has and the last piece of our puzzle will be a quality, durable QB.

I remember when I thought Arkee Whitlock and Anwar Stewart were Canadian for the longest time.
Yeah well the ultimate in confusion for me was Tom Canada.

Mixup between he and his editor? Did the editor change the name?
Perhaps it was Hugh's beard that threw him off. I hope that Edmonton has a good homeless shelter so that Hugh feels at home. And he doesn't have to worry about Ralph Klein coming in and throwing money at him while telling him to get a job.
Ralph died earlier this year.
Yeah I know. Which is why I said that Hugh didn't have to worry about him coming in to the shelter. Maybe Danielle Smith can try that stunt. Ralph's popularity went up when he did it, so it might work for Danielle.

Can we 9 game Buck?
I already know he's spend all 9 games on the sidelines staring at the field like a deer in headlights. Which is no different than if he was standing behind the O-line.

Way too many Board members just as there are too many Senators in Ottawa.
Well there is one less Senator now after Alfredsson signed with Detroit.
Goltz to start in LDC

Especially after Elliott's comments after the 52-0 shellacking in the LDC last year, when he said "well I played ok" or something to that effect.
