gbill2004 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 According to Arash Madani Bombers have released NI OL Tyson Pencer. This is a bit of a "wow" as I had high hopes for him.
Noeller Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Sigh.....need to know more about this. Gotta be that his body is toast...
Bomber Diehard Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Another one of Mack's great picks.....
Dascow Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 He was fairly awful in the preseason game against Toronto...
gbill2004 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Posted June 12, 2014 Another one of Mack's great picks..... I went and looked back at the 2012 CFL draft, and it was a pretty weak draft.
gbill2004 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Posted June 12, 2014 Sigh.....need to know more about this. Gotta be that his body is toast... After practice yesterday, the offensive linemen did wind sprints. As per usual, Dan Knapp blew everyone away. And guess who finished last, by alot...Tyson Pencer. He's probably just really out of shape and not taking the job very serious. Too bad as he had some physical tools...it was probably the mental part of the game and offseason training that he couldn't handle.
rebusrankin Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Wow. That turned out to be a brutal pick and trade.
BBlink Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Ugh. He seemed like he had a nasty side to him which I was excited to see if he ever got his act together. Looks like that's it for him...
Tracker Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Well, the waiting for the next big thing is over. Hard to believe that someone that big and mean couldn't make the grade as least as a backup. Can we fire Mack again, or at least bad-mouth him severely? I was really hoping he would step up this year- it would have solved so many problems, but instead it was a complete waste of draft pick and money.
BBlink Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Oh well at least it looks like this regime isn't going to be sitting around waiting for these "duds" to realize their "potential". I know it's an oversimplification but: May the best players play. saskbluefan 1

Mike Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Pretty sad that Pencer got cut before Dale Stevenson, who was a non-import who has bounced between OL and fullback in past years. Floyd 1
bearpants Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 This, along with Robertson, just continues to show what a black cloud the Joe Mack era was... really disappointing that these guys did turn out this way
Nasty Nate Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Ed Tweet (Tait) had an interesting one about bomber draft in 2011 & 2012. Muamba & Etienne with 1 + 4 in '11; Pencer with a top pick and burning a 1st pick to nab Kito Poblah in supplemental draft. Muamba was a no-brainer but he's in indy now, Pencer is CFL deadwood. Green Narrow (Jade) and Poblah still moping around in CFL camps.
Nasty Nate Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 This, along with Robertson, just continues to show what a black cloud the Joe Mack era was... really disappointing that these guys did turn out this way The entire Lord Lyle, Young Brendan, Mike Kelly, Joe Mack era was a blight on this franchise. Almost a decade and a half of nothing but incompetence!

Almost a decade and a half of nothing but incompetence! It is disappointing that Taman basically "interned" here and when he was finally ready to be a real GM we cut him lose and now Saskie is reaping the benefits...
road griller Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Lyle and Taman in a hoodie were the Glory Years compared to kelly-joe.
Nasty Nate Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Neither guy will ever work in the CFL again but frankly I'd take a guy like Lyle Bauer over Joe Mack anytime. They are both bottom of the barrel GMs but at least Bauer didn't put his bank account ahead of the team as much as Mack did. Both guys were lazy pigs but Lyle was able to sell tickets and forgive debts for lousy football. All Mack did was wake up, have a triple/triple and go back to sleep! The Bomber board had a decision. Hiring Jim Barker vs. a career tramp named Joe Mack. They went with Mack cuz an old codger/ex bomber GM named Mad Dog remembered Joe's name from the Cal Murphy era. And Barker was a 6'3", 375 lb. load the board thought might stink up the office.
Nasty Nate Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Lyle and Taman in a hoodie were the Glory Years compared to kelly-joe. Can't take solace in it but essentially Mike Kelly, Lyle Bauer, Joe Mack, Buchko, have been black-balled from ever working in the CFL again.

Sad but true... although Bauer did go to work for Calgary for a while there...
robynjt Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Hugely disappointing, but other teams draft picks have been just as lacklustre.
Brandon Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Its not like other teams didn't have first round busts, I like the selective complaints. It wasn't like Pencer was a projected 4th round pick some other team would of scooped him up. Taman never had bad drafts because he dealed away all of our picks. The mack hate is lame. As for Pencer , many people on here noticed how terrible he was and they all said he was going to get cut in a matter of time.
voodoochylde Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 I don't think the "hate on" for Pencer would be as pronounced had Mack not squandered additional assets in acquiring him. Yes .. teams have first round busts .. happens all the time in the CFL .. but .. targetting a player in a trade up .. then missing out on that player .. was a mess in and of itself. Then you add on the fact that the guy we settled on couldn't carry Walby's jock strap .. and understandably .. angst will run high.
road griller Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Add in the horrid record and the team regressing every season....
Nasty Nate Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 As Jimbozo Bell might say "Other than the crappy draft picks, stadium debacle, Joe Mack era, stinky personnel, coaching shuffles, bluffy management and imbecilic board - BOMBERS IS GREAT!"
