Posted October 14, 20159 yr comment_160692 ...as per MOS presser just now......Picard injured, so MG gets the start for this week.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160696 ...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.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160698 And it only took several months for the coaches to realize what most here knew long ago. The "injury" seems very convenient.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160710 Pretty sure Picard is injured, no conspiracy there. MOS & Wylie like Picard over Goosen as the starter so I agree there is no conspiracy.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160712 And it only took several months for the coaches to realize what most here knew long ago. The "injury" seems very convenient. So you don't think Picard is really injured?
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160713 Injured or not, I really hope Dominic has played his last game as a Blue Bomber. Time to go get a job selling shwarmas.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160717 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.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160731 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.

As for Picard probably wont be back next year and i'm okay with that. Let's keep in mind that 2 years really isn't that long to be developed into a starting centre. Many others have taken longer.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160758 Goossen looked no worse than Picard every time he has gone in all season. Shoulda happened in July.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160765 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
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160813 Picard is less useful than a pylon. Hard to think this makes us worse.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160825 Goossen looked no worse than Picard every time he has gone in all season. 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.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_160853 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.
October 15, 20159 yr comment_160864 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.
October 15, 20159 yr comment_160866 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.

Hopefully he learned from that experience and gets better going forward. Who was the quarterback? Picard was in for all the debacles vs Hamilton and Edmonton. He's not adding anything, even mentally.

The stats sheet indicates that it was a "Mr. Deadman Walking" for that particular game. Yer welcome.
October 15, 20159 yr comment_160882 This might improve some of the tempo, on O, anyways...... I'm sure Nichols likes it.
October 15, 20159 yr comment_160922 I hope Goosen makes good on this opportunity. I'm thinking he will. Should be ready.
October 15, 20159 yr comment_161138 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
