I did a comparative analysis to see just how bad the Bomber OL is compared to other CFL OL's. Here is what I found:

The Bombers have given up 10 sacks this year for an average of 3.3 per game. Last year in 2013, the league average of sacks given up per team, per game was 2.78, putting the Bombers slightly above average this year, with a small sample size of only 3 games played so far.

The best team in 2013 was Calgary with only 36 sacks given up (average of 2 per game), and Hamilton was the worst with 67 sacks given up (3.7 per game). Bombers gave up 51 sacks (average of 2.8 per game). Winnipeg was exactly league average in 2013.

Here's the full data per team, of sacks given up over the 2013 season:

1. Calgary: 36

2. Montreal: 41

3. BC: 47

3. Saskatchewan: 47

5. Winnipeg: 51

6. Toronto: 52

7. Edmonton: 60

8. Hamilton: 67

I doubt Neufeld loses his spot after missing half a game (and assuming he's ok for next game)... but it would be interesting to see what a Jan-Greaves-Morley-Goossen-Howard line can do....

Going to get a good test next week with Chick. But Howard has looked a lot more comfortable at T than G.

This is great development for Goossen get him in a half here a half there. No big time pressure just learn and be prepared to step in when needed.

Wondering if they stick with Goossen or throw Knapp back into the mix.  Is Knapp even healthy right now?  I'd really like to see them give Goossen a shot at a full game.  I know they are wary of stunting his development, but it looks like he is ready.  Gotta give the kid a chance.

How about a  Jan-Greaves-Morley-Goossen-Neufeld  line?
