  5. Buck Pierce - - Strategy & Philosophy

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted · Edited by BigBlue

    As I recall, as a QB Buck Pierce seemed to me somewhat of a Mississippi gambler, both in his passing style and in the way he sacrificed his body. He was all heart and an automatic hire when his body was done.

    Then he did his apprenticeship under Paul LaPolice. PLOP's dink and dunk style drove many of us fans crazy. Now we are grumbling about Buck's play calling. Was he tainted to not be his own man? Yet we have had great success even tonight.

    So do we just have a great defense and a barely adequate offence? Is it our offensive strategy and overall "careful" philosophy that has led to tepid performance this year? Or are we having a personnel problem at O-Line, running back and receiver?

    What is the remedy for this under performing offence?

    Bottom line is you don't blame your teammates when you lose because next time it could be your fault. Which is what happened.

    I did not see or hear a single word or intonation of blame including his post game interview on TSN later on Sports Center. He was putting the whole burden on himself (even in spite of the bad bounces).

    I just see a courageous person who is not brushing it off or making excuses.  He is not a sissy - he is real. He will double down and bounce back. If anything he is trying too hard; he just has to work through it. A maturing process you know.

    When ever I see a post like that from some one like that I think it’s a green troll. 

    After game 1 the press was all over  Leggs, and so were we. We are  not dummies here: recently he has been great... regret about letting Castillo go have disappeared.

    If Leggs stays as consistent as the last couple of games, then there is nothing to talk about. But if he reverts then it doesn't hurt to have our left eye open.

    Meanwhile Lirim is some one to be proud of!

    The Post Game coverage of Dane Evans was very touching for me ... watching him alone on the bench with head hung low when all his team mates had left, and then watching Arbuckle encouraging him in very real concern had a big effect on me ! Even with Arbuckle there Evans could not raise his head.

    "A scrambling Evans had the pigskin punched from his arms by safety Scott Hutter and corner Jalen Collins scooped it up for the winning score. After failing to create a successful response, a clearly emotional Evans had to be consoled on the sidelines by Elks’ backup quarterback Nick Arbuckle — who lost his own starting job last week" (3DownNation).

    I think TSN did good focusing on this real life story. Heroes are human and it helps us to know that.

    Liam Dobson is turning out to be rookie. I am not sure about his learning curve but it is nothing like Elks QB Ford. We have a fantastic line coach in Marty Costello so I guess he just needs more adjustment to the Pro game. I would love to see this bruiser at center or guard because he feels like the "Stove", just on the other side of the ball. So the two new yanks may give us the right stuff that we need now.

    HAMILTON'S UNIFORMS

    TSN: describing them as steel grey (as in the city's chief industry - - not the Grey Cup) to me was so diplomatic, to say the least. Where is Don Cherry when you REALLY need him?

    These are the ugliest uniforms I have ever seen (I double checked on that). They just reminded me of dirty formerly white work clothes or worse the colour of what my underwear looked like under my goalie uniform after a hard two hour practice.

    I found myself so distracted by these uni's that I found it difficult to concentrate on the game while  I watched it on the Telly.

    U-G-L-Y  !@#$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!

    All Matty talked about was Rourke. I like Dunigan but just stop already. 

    Disagree///he was play by play explaining in a rather informative way. I liked it a lot. I like Rourke's play too (big time - he is fascinating).

    Besides Dunigan is NOT Glenn Suiter, not even slightly.
