Jesse Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Walters has already committed to bringing in extra kickers. ML has to earn his spot, but I'm content if he's the one that wins out. One play never decides a game. And there aren't other kickers in the league that did a significantly better job.

Geebrr Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 These extra kickers we have to bring in are also spots we could be using in camp for the DL Jesse and Noeller 1 1

Only so many reps to go around. especially when you are eating spots on water bottle fetchers
Geebrr Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 Most our roster spots seem pretty set. Maybe we should just bring in 30 kickers and kick FGs all camp? Noeller and Tracker 2

You simply can't miss 8 extra points - it's not acceptable. Sure...they are 32 yards...but always from the middle of the field. Rex_Banner, the watcher, Fred C Dobbs and 1 other 3 1

That's another thing. We have to bring in bodies at receiver and DB, but we're only looking for depth - there aren't any starter spots available unless we're blown away by someone. There's plenty of room in TC for a couple of kickers.

I'd be more concerned if he was the only one having trouble with it, but I feel like half the league's kickers were the same or worse....

GCJenks Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 When I read all the discussion about Legghio and punting I find myself thinking “Do we even need a punter this year?” I truly feel like we have enough offended weapons that we should be scoring on every possession.

The only players on the team who touch the ball more than Liegghio are Collaros, whoever is at centre, Benson and sometimes Oliviera. They won't get too far into 2023 watching Liegghio struggle on place kicks again and we have the DI spot easily for an American kicker. Super Duper Negatron and Noeller 1 1
Booch Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 I rather the di spots go to receiver...linebacker...defensive line..not kicker...we went 15-3 with a still maturing Leggz...and didn't lose grey cup cause of him .. shouldn't even have been a close game...we sucked as a whole....based on putrid play ZC should be cut based on that thinking...he was god awful...but was also pretty much gonna be useless due to his injury...we as a team just don't use excuses so it's never been mentioned or touched on...he shouldn't even have been on field..but a wounded ZC was our best shot..

His kicking was a big reason why the game was as close as it was. Awful in all phases. He is not the reason , but between field position and missed points- he was trash that day.
Colin Unger Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 Sure bring in some competition for leggs. But let him keep the job if he looks any sharper then last season. We let go Canadian kicker Lirim Hajrullahu Paradis, Castillo, Maher. Not every kicker is an instant success and his numbers aren't bad for this stage of things. wpgallday1960, Arnold_Palmer, Bigblue204 and 1 other 3 1

His punting and kickoffs were great all season long, and really the biggest issues was converts, which feels like a mental thing, more than anything. I'm not concerned. Too many people are concerned with a blocked kick in the championship game that wasn't his fault. He's lucky it was blocked as he missed it otherwise. Then the shitshow would have really begun. 1 hour ago, Colin Unger said: Sure bring in some competition for leggs. But let him keep the job if he looks any sharper then last season.
