Bombers Sign Deangelis

[Bomber Diehard]

The  ol'boy is a canuck.

[Blueandgold]

Why would he replace Palardy with this clown? Who from Saskatchewan has infiltrated our organization? 

[Captain Blue]

Honestly the solution here is simple...we need Duncan O'Mahony here.  ASAP.

[SmokinBlue]

another stupid move to add on to the list.

 

congrats Bombers, keep going.

[CodyT]

I don't understand this move at all.

[Jacquie]

I read he was working on his punting. We do need the help there. Renaud can't even hold consistently anymore.

 

That's what I'd like to know is whether he was kicking or punting.

[comedygeek]

Palardy has been super super solid for us for 3 seasons now. He has a *slightly* less powerful leg than some other kickers, but I'll take him from 42 and in over this washed up headcase any day.

We really are going to be worse than Ottawa in 2013 if this keeps up. Yeesh!

[Jacquie]

I really don't know what to think but I do know if this is Craig Dickenson's decision then I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Atomic]

Signed.

he's waiting by the phone for a call...

 

[Brain]

Is anyone else having a hard time getting the circus music out of their head???

 

 

From here on, read all Bomber news and play this in the background.

Renaud is tied with Maver for highest punting avg in the league at 45yrds.  He does struggle at times on placement i will say that.  Palardy is one of the most consistant FG kickers we have had in a long time. I thought our kickers were actually pretty good this year.  Did they sign him just for kickoffs??  Has any team ever had 3 kickers do three different jobs?

Is Palardy hurt?

Not unless he hurt himself on vacation.....

 

Does any team have an extra QB or Canuck olinemen they are willing to trade and need help in the kicking department?  Is there a trade a loomin?

[robynjt]

Pretty sure they got tired of illegal kickoffs.

[yogi]

I really wish i could stop caring about this team. Its like being the parent of a teenage drug addicted prostitute.

[Jimmy Pop]

The last two years he has done kickoffs (2010, 2012) he was at the bottom of the league for kickoff average.

 

Yes, below Palardy.

 

No....! Really?!  Then what on earth is the point?! Palardy's game is easy for even a novice fan: accurate, but not a strong leg. Give him FG's inside the 40 and he's money. Field position seems to be a big problem this year. If Sandro's no better for distance, than WTF. Also, I hear Sandro is quite the teammate.....not.

well when Tim Burke leaves a crack baby on your front doorstep with a note "he's yours now" in the diaper then it really will be like that.

[B-F-F-C]

Come on guys...this is a 1 - 5 team and we're questioning the moves?  Many have been looking for Palardy to get an extra 10 yards on his kick offs.  Maybe that's why Dickenson called up his good buddy 

[DR. CFL]

What's the big issue about kick offs when you need to score to kick off. It's like bitching about punting...great when you punt twice as often as everyone else during a game.

Get on OC and that makes ST less an issue.

Sandro DeAngelis will be the kicker this week against Hamilton #Bombers.

but the replacement doesn't have any noticable advantage in leg strength. I think it's fair to question moves made to areas that aren't the primary concern. Where's the receiver signings? The OL signings? The QB signings? These are areas that should be addressed first and foremost.

I think they are looking for better placement on the kickoffs. Trying to get it between the numbers and sideline with out the kicks out bounds that Palardy has been prone to.

[Mr Dee]

I'm not much of a fan of the DeAngelis signing per se, but considering our field position stats - Bombers average start on their own 35, and the opponents start on their 43 yard line (worst in the league), then I feel, as we all knew, kicking has to be better.
