JuranBoldenRules Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 ...and Griffiths will be the 6th OL. If he can get out of his stance and not get blown 5 yards off the line on the majority of run plays he's already better than Neufeld.

kelownabomberfan Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Injured or not, I really hope Dominic has played his last game as a Blue Bomber. Time to go get a job selling shwarmas. KptKrunch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Rider fans are complaining how badly Brendan Labatte is playing. Seems like about the same level as Picard. Looks like the former Bobsey Twins are on their last legs as starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Goosen should be ready to play he has been here long enough and hopefully paid attention at practice. As for Picard probably wont be back next year and i'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookie Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Goossen can move, did u see how he picked up the half back biltz in the 2nd half against bc he will do well, good for him BomberBall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Picard is less useful than a pylon. Hard to think this makes us worse. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda happened in July.Positonal wise Im sure he is there.. Calling out blocking packages and having the trust of his linemates tho.. Centre is a crutial role for many reasons, not just as a blocker.. With how poor picards snaps have been, there has to have been another reason why goose hasnt had a chance yet to shine.

He has been one of the worst Bombers this year. Maybe the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I don't like dancing on players' graves, but this news makes me happy. I don't want to see Picard play for us ever again. The only way I want to see Picard as a Bomber again is to see him as a special teams coach working with Lirim on his hang time ... Picard's snaps had beauty hang time this season. kelownabomberfan, Mr Dee, Mark F and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Goossen can move, did u see how he picked up the half back biltz in the 2nd half against bc he will do well, good for him I was very impressed with that play, and I've been saying for a while now that the rainbow snaps weren't working and Goosen doesn't do that. Glad they made the change, and I agree with the other posters that I'd be happy not to see Picard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Goosen played the entire game at C in the blow out loss to the Stamps earlier this year in one of the worst performances by the O-line to date. Hopefully he learned from that experience and gets better going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I thought the O line has been getting a little better last few games. Nichols had some time second half of last game…. also some of the run plays worked ok…. Althoug I though I noticed one guy right in the middle of the o line, standing straight up, and looking downfield, while defenders to his rears, were converging on the qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
