gbill2004 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Here is video of him playing center That was six minutes of him destroying people. No kidding! Goossen looks like a monster with a mean streak. Nice to know we are guaranteed to do well and get a centre with either Lavertu or Goossen. In addition, Goossen has played every position on the OL so nice versatility there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 When's the last time Goossen played Canadian football? BC high school is American rules too. Might be a good prospect, but wouldn't rely on him being able to play (well) right away (nor would I rely on Lavertu to be able to jump right in if I'm Walters/O'Shea). He needs to learn the basics of blocking with the DL a yard off the ball, different fronts used is Canadian football, 12 guys on the field, generally starting with fewer guys between the tackles. Take the best player...we have enough holes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Anybody have thoughts on Lavertu and Goossen? That would be more than we could hope for. Goosen certainly has the size and aggressiveness, and if he has the intelligence to call the blocking schemes, we ought to be set for a decade or so.

Pretty similar, a little better. They went winless in their first season, but they weren't the greatest team in CanWest either. It's the 3rd tier of NCAA football after FBS (1-A) and FCS (1-AA).

gbill2004 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Would the transition to the CFL be more difficult, compared to CIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Would the transition to the CFL be more difficult, compared to CIS? Not necessarily...but it's a different style of football, especially for OL, so it adds something on top of what any rookie would need to adjust to coming from CIS which could make it a longer transition, but depending on the individual it could be smooth or it could be tougher...much like it would be for any rookie. I'm sure it is something he'll be quizzed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I asked O'Shea about the NI ratio tonight. He said it'll be 5 on offense (3 OL and 2 WR) and 2 on defense. He said he'd start 8 NI if possible as it would make the roster that much stronger. He wants fierce competition at the safety spot.

gbill2004 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 So D safety and ? He mentioned the possibility of a NI at CB. Also said he doesn't think we're in a position to start 4 NI OL yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 One of Pencer's problems apart from being injured is he has barely played a down of football in the last 4 years. For you glass half full guys I guess that makes him fresh legs....not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Pencer does not have injury 'problems'. He had a shoulder injury that was fixed last offseason. He was placed on the 9 game IR for developmental purposes. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Would be great if Coach O'Shea can start 8 Canadians, hopefully Henoc is back by at least next season, still need a top end DL starter IMO and a safety that actually worth starting time. A starting Canadian corner (or DB) would be great as well. Really excited to see Robertson healthy for TC this year, pulling for the kid to make it.

Your posts have all been shackle raising to me and then, bam, i read this one.. Well said, i agree. Id like to see robertson make some noise and hopefully henoc comes back and we sign him or bilukidi or mulumba make their way home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Robertson's size and agility seem more suited to HB than CB... I'm really not sold on Bucknor on the outside either, he's just okay 3 NI OL kind of makes the Neufeld trade seem like a mistake now - Neufeld was a pretty good tackle and a terrible guard. Maybe he's our new Centre...? That being said, Jarvis Jones is really really good. Two NI REC seems scary with Watson's injury history... we are not deep with talent at that position.

Walters is still giving the impression Neufeld will start at tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
