BUCK UP

Burke was happy with quarterback Buck Pierce's play on Saturday, even though he completed only 12 of 20 attempts for 92 yards and one interception that Dee Webb returned for a touchdown.

"I wish he could take away the interception," Burke said. "Other than that he scrambled around and kept our plays alive. I was unhappy when he got hurt and he was out, I'll put it that way."

Pierce gave way to Justin Goltz after three quarters due to an upper-body injury, although he also appeared to be limping on his left leg. It marked the 29th time in Pierce's career he had to leave a game due to injury.

 

How does a long time defensive coach, who has developed schemes to play against an offence not know anything about offence? He has been watching offensive film from other teams his entire carrer.

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing and was going to post this but never did.  I have wondered the same thing since he started spouting that nonsense.  This is why I don't even think he's the great defensive coach everyone touts him to be.  I think almost his whole coaching career is a sham.  I know it's just speculation, but I think he just surrounded himself with really good coaches and just took all of their good ideas, and this year his luck of the draw just ran out.

There's a huge difference in the 2.

You don't say....

What is baffling is that I have never coached a game in my life and yet I knew that they shouldn't of dumped Elliott and that Buck should of been gone two years ago..... I also knew that Boatmen wasn't the answer and that Buck shouldn't be over Goltz in the depth chart....

Boggles the mind, doesn't it???

Funny thing. Boatman used to be an Argo...Bluto said the same thing about him as soon as he signed here.

I have no issues with them trying out the guy and seeing if maybe a change of scenery might make a difference.... but I think he's had way more then enough time to prove his worth and clearly he has been a C+ level player at best.

 

Him being a import just blows my mind since in the past we would bring in quite a bit of import players to try out on the oline.   It's not like they are impossibru to find....

SIgning Boatman at the time the Bombers did was a fine move, they had injuries, they needed bodies, keeping him in the lineup though... my god why?

Steve Morely was a starter here for over four years, if thats any indication the Boatman era has just begun...

i'm a Buck supporter, but i just can't agree with Burke on this one, Buck didn't look good at all.

Our offensive line isn't helping any of our QB's, but are they any worse than Edmontons ?
