Much rather we bring in Congi and Liri to camp as our kickers.

 

I'd rather bring Palardy back than Congi.  Yuck.  Same problems, "accurate" kickers with no leg.  If they aren't hitting 90% inside 40, they are killing you with lousy kickoffs and lack of range.

Why would we want Swayze Waters?  First he's an import kicker.  Second, he hit 72% of his FG's last year, 74% in 2012, and he plays in a dome for half his games.  Third, we just re-signed Mike Renaud to handle punting duties.  Fourth we have Liri Hirahaluah who I am sure can hit at least 72% of his FGs. 

 

Not saying it won't happen, but I would find it very, very puzzling.

 

He's a great punter.  

 

Wouldn't count on an undrafted CIS kicker who has never teed one up in the CFL to be anything.

FWIW, somebody told me this morning that they expected three definite signings by Winnipeg tomorrow. One of them was Diamond Ferri.

I didn't get it at the time, because he wasn't scheduled to be an FA.

when you said tomorrow, do you mean before the free agency ? or when the free agency kicks in?

I have no idea. Just casual conversation with one of my friends, I didn't really get into details.

have heard Kohlert and Swayze Waters, fwiw...

 

Would be very happy to see Waters here. Feels like it's been forever since we've had security at placekicker, and with O'Shea's ties to Waters, this one makes some sense.

 

 

O'Shea's ties to Waters?

You can't get any closer to Waters than Walters is.

Biggest pet peeve I have with kickers. If they can't provide reasonable consistent kick-off distant, then no thanks.

yea, i hope there isn't any substance to this as i really don't think he's worth the spot.. Hes no medlock. Id rather let the young guys battle it out and maybe palardy lol

If we can get Swayze at the right price, I'd be okay with it. But if we could get him for a steal, if Walters could just walk all over him in negotiations, he would be like a Jesus to me.

Waters has never impressed me. To waste a DI spot on a punter, not for that at all.

Not the greatest situation but the Riders got a Grey Cup with an import punter so it is certainly viable.

Still waiting for an answer at MLB.  I don't know if Ferri was the answer, but who is?  Generally it's the "QB" of the defense, and we don't have an established starter there.

There's this thing called training camp to sort this kinda stuff out, ya kno?

Even if Ferri was signed we wouldn't have had an established starter at MLB, he's a WIL LB and spare DB.

My point is, MLB is pretty important in a defense.  I'm wondering if anybody here is familiar with some of the new guys we've signed enough to say that they have a shot at taking that spot, or if we need to be looking at free agent or trade possibilities. Or, maybe I'm out to lunch about how CFL-ready a middle linebacker needs to be.
