August 26, 20159 yr comment_145684 Crazy how thin we still are at OL... Bomber RT has become the spinal tap drummer of the CFL
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145768 Of course they are splitting reps between Marve and Brohm. Practice is a teaching and learning session, it's not a game. As a coach, you give your starter some reps, then you discuss what he did. You don't stop practice while having this discussion, you put the "other" guy in. Then you go back to your starter to give him more reps. Practice can also be a grind, and you don't want to wear your starter out. Typically, by the time you get to #3, you may actually be running scout on offence to give your defense some looks of what the other team does. What is scout? ................. Sorry for being thick here, I looked it up on google to no avail, so running scout is imitating what the opponents offense is going to be doing so your defense can prepare for them. Is that right?
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145779 I bolded, italicized, and underlined the part where Jaxon told you exactly what it was....

August 27, 20159 yr comment_145824 No Dom Picard at bomber practice. Mathias Goossen set to start at center vs Calgary — Bob Irving (@BobIrvingCJOB) August 27, 2015 Fingers crossed he makes the most of this opportunity and earns a starting spot.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145825 I REALLY hope Goossen plays well...and stays healthy. Sweet baby Jesus could things get ugly if any OL get hurt on Saturday.

You might want to upgrade your Google... Scout team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In sports, the scout team, also referred to as a practice team, taxi squad, practice squad or practice roster, is a group of players on a teamwhose task is to emulate future opponents for the featured (or starting) players.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145839 So Bryant-Greaves-Gossen--Chungh-Neufeld on the OL with Griffiths as the 6th? Yikes.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145840 Aside from RT, that's probably as good as out starters can possibly look this season.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145841 So Bryant-Greaves-Gossen--Chungh-Neufeld on the OL with Griffiths as the 6th? Yikes. The only concern for me is the RT mainly because of Neufeld inablity to stay healthy. Greaves although he was pulled before is a mainstay in LG. He need to put up some nastiness even for just a bit. Goossen was drafted a year ago to be the next C. After a season and half, I think it's about time to prove that he got what it takes.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145842 So Bryant-Greaves-Gossen--Chungh-Neufeld on the OL with Griffiths as the 6th? Yikes. can we bring Dile back at least? Morley on an emergency basis?
August 27, 20159 yr Author comment_145843 I hope Neufeld is practicing his snaps this week because if Goossen gets injured, we're in trouble at centre.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145847 I guess we get to see if those who think Picard's no good are right or wrong. I expect that Goosen is a big step down at center. Neufeld at RT is interesting. Don't we have any IMP tackles who can do the job? Will we start 8 or 9 NI's? Gotta say this looks like the worst starting O line we've had all year. Good thing that Marve can run.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145849 Didn't Greaves play Centre a bit...? like two years ago or something About time Goossen sees the field again anyway, I thought he was decent last year - yeah he made mistakes but Chungh makes them too Disappointed that only one import OL was airlifted, would love to see an interior guy
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145853 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming Demond Washington is alongside Troy Stoudermire on the #Bombers' kick return team. Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Jasper Simmons is getting some middle linebacker reps today. #Bombers

Good thing that Marve can run. 8 NIs. we are starting 4 IMP receivers instead of 3.

Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Jasper Simmons is getting some middle linebacker reps today. #Bombers Id rather see us stick an olineman back to return kicks then either of those guys. I like washington as a player, but both of these guys are keith stokes at best returning the ball.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145867 We are down to desperate measures, folks. Its time to see if Neufeld and Goossen have a future in this league or if our drafting and trading are crappy. I would be more optimistic if I had reason to be confident that our O-line coach was doing a good job. There are so many questions about our coaching that there is probably going to be a major overhaul there in the off-season regardless of O'Shea's future.

There are so many questions about our coaching that there is probably going to be a major overhaul there in the off-season regardless of O'Shea's future. Goossen is only in his 2nd year. He has a future in the CFL for sure. Neufeld likely has a few more lives left as well. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the remainder of the year. Edit - I really want the goose's future to be with the bombers. Anyone who doubts, please see MTL and their Oline development.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145872 NI O linemen are like left handed relief pichers in baseball. As long as they have 2 feet and a heart beat someone will give em a shot.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145889 Lol barely a year and a half into Goossen's career and people think this is a make-or-break moment. I swear some people just don't pay attention whatsoever.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145894 It's not make or break. It's time to see if Goosen was worth being a first round choice.
August 27, 20159 yr comment_145895 It's not make or break. It's time to see if Goosen was worth being a first round choice. Kristian Matte was a first round pick in 2010 and didn't start until this year for Montreal. Bad pick??
