...First off, thought it a bit odd  that they came home for the week, rather than staying in AB, but I suppose flying was cheaper than hotels etc for the week and practicing at home rather than at McMahon and Commonwealth during the week might be tougher.

 

At any rate.......some news here that'll make the Peach haters happy.....

OShea says Picard was sick today and Daniels is day to day with a lower body injury; Peach is out this week and Turner will be out again #bn

 

Montreal lets there guys develope 2-3 years before throwing them in. Goosen will get there.

Agreed. It's pretty early hit the panic button for a 22 year old OL.

Lets not panic about Goosen. Chung is actually older then him, which I found interesting.

Saying Neufeld is taking reps at center isn't the same as saying Neufeld is taking all the reps at center.  He's probably taking the starting reps and Goosen's taking the backup reps. Might be as simple as Neufeld needs the reps at center to be useful as the 6th O lineman. Goosen seems to be moving forward slower than we'd like for a 1st rounder.

Fixed it for you.

Yeah but what does Montreal know about winning....oh right.

Worrying about goossen already...

Priceless!!

fwiw, Picard back at C today.....took a Vet Day....

Wait.. how are you getting updates before us peggers lol

Hoping this would be the start of significant changes on the DL.

Well, more so because of injury, but still.......

Pencer was crapped on immediately. I'm just pointing out the bit of hypocrisy that exists. Walters gets so many free passes by some people and the previous GM got raked over the coals for any little thing

Moe leggett leaves bomber practice late. Might be limping. Teague Sherman at safety.

Devin Tyler getting lots of first team reps at right tackle for bombers-- likely to play in Edmonton.

Well, the question must be asked, Will he make it to tomorrow's practice?

faaaaaack....Leggett leaves practice limping and is now not available to the media, as per team regs (injured players not avail to media)..... bad news all around.

You don't see any other differences in their situations?

I wonder why we're not giving Newman a shot at safety

What's different? Both high draft picks that were a reach taken as high as they were and neither one was able to solidify a roster spot, except  one had a lot of injury excuses at least.

Shh! 17 is trying (again) to defend Joe Mack and his draft strategy. Want to see where he goes with this argument.

lol.

Oh, so that's where he went with it.

How about:

Goossen - taken #2, ranked #4 in o-linemen (#2 for those GMs thought wouldn't bolt to the NFL) and #9 overall, was 3 year conference all-star and captain of his college team heading into draft, no injury history from college or attitude issues to worry about that we know of, played in 15 games and started 3 in his first year, missed 3 games to injury last year before this year's injury woes at the start of camp in just his 2nd season.

Pencer - Taken #3, ranked #6 among o-lineman and not even ranked overall on some draft projections, had serious injury concerns from his college days (both shoulders messed up and caused him to miss significant playing time in university football), walked away from one football program midstream for "personal" reasons, got hurt in practice pretty much right away, one start and 6 or so games on roster before being cut, picked up by Edmonton in may and cut by June this year having seen no action in his 4th season.

And since your gripe is more about Mack not getting cut the same slack, Pencer wasn't his one-off in draft errors. His draft history of off-the-board Etienne, out-of-position Aprile, and never-going-to-see-the-CFL-anyway Mulumba gave him a lot less leeway to make a mistake when he got outplayed for Westerman and then begged people to believe that Pencer was his plan all along in trading up so he wouldn't have to admit he got schooled.

If you want to (still repeatedly) defend Joe Mack, there are better ways to do it than by touting his draft record. Actually, there may not be a better way to defend Mack job-performance-wise, but I doubt there are many worse ways to do it.

By any chance, are you J Mack's ex?

If I was married to Mack, I would have been justified in leaving him because 17to85 was clearly in bed with him for all those years. And Mack should owe me alimony for all the season ticket money of mine he wasted while he was here. ;-)
