I looked up on other teams' practice rosters to see if there's a guy or two worth plucking away from them. I found an interesting kicker/punter on the Elks roster. I don't know anything about kicking but it seems like he has quite a resume. He can do all kicking chores too.
If Mourtada won't work maybe Walters can pluck (or trade for) this guy.

Believe it or not RedBlacks are still in it on the East. 3 of their losses are against the West teams (Leos & Riders) 2 are against East (Ticats & Als) and they still have a chance to win the tie-breaker with them. I know it’s only a first game but the RedBlacks may have found their QB.
On the other hand, a loss will bury the Elks on the bottom of the West. Stamps has the tie-beakers against them.
If I'm O'Shea, if Mourtada will miss on his first FG/PAT this Friday, I will let Leggz do it the rest of the game.
Not sure if it will be a confidence builder for Leggz.
I think it's better if we can move back to one person doing all the kicking/punting because that will free up one roster spot somewhere.
If it's a Canadian kicker (say Ward or Lirim) much better since it will free up a DI spot for an Amer DB or DL/LB Antigha or maybe WR Roosevelt.
Kinda dejavu for Lapo again.
In 2010, he got oft-injured Pierce and more athletic but error-prone Jyles as his QB-combo. Comes week 18 his starting Elliot and backed up by Brink. He got a healthier Pierce in 2011 and they made it to the Grey Cup. Pierce was injured early 2012 and Lapo went back to Brink/Elliot until he was made a scapegoat by Sleepy Joe.
He started this year with a broken Nichols and Davis (Jyles 2.0?) and now have to go with 2 rookies. Poor Lapo.
With Stove and Grant possibly being activated this week and maybe Wilson also, the Bombers need to either hide people on the IR or make some cuts.
