JuranBoldenRules Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 If we cut Palardy for McKnight and Sandra I'm going to lose it. Why? You like dressing a kicker who makes a 40 yard FG a tough decision for the coach?
Valderan_CA Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released import receiver Isaac Anderson and non-import kicker Justin Palardy. --- I guess BlueAndGold is going to lose it Atomic 1
robynjt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Palardy has been suspect all year. Not sure McKnight or Deangelis are the answer... but at least they're doing something.
Mike Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Posted August 27, 2013 I think McKnight has a shot here, to be honest. At least he's got a strong leg. He's always been in competition with a proven commodity and seen as how he's not known as a practice kicker, he's never really been given a shot in a real live game. Former 1st round pick ... could be a nice pickup. Plus he can do both punting and placekicking.
robynjt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 I'm curious - why has he bounced around so much in 2 years? Just tough competition where he's been?

robynjt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Makes sense, thanks Mike. 4 teams (now 5) in 2 years was just a bit surprising.
Mr Dee Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Makes sense, thanks Mike. 4 teams (now 5) in 2 years was just a bit surprising. But, what a name!
Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Makes sense, thanks Mike. 4 teams (now 5) in 2 years was just a bit surprising. And how many teams did Cameron get bounced from
JuranBoldenRules Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 I know he can do both, but he'd probably be better off focusing on punting at this point. Not sure what the plans are for him here.
robynjt Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 And how many teams did Cameron get bounced from Bob Cameron? Two...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 And how many teams did Cameron get bounced from Bob Cameron? Two... Didn't Bob Cameron get dropped liked 8 times before finally getting the starting gig?
Atomic Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 And how many teams did Cameron get bounced from Bob Cameron? Two... Didn't Bob Cameron get dropped liked 8 times before finally getting the starting gig? I believe it was 9 tryouts over 4 years before landing here.

Dr. Blue Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 The most important thing though... McKnight has to change his Twitter background.
Brandon Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 Why are people complaining, do we not forget when Berry refused to replace Westwood and/or having scrubs coming in and out and us ending up with Serna as our best option??
Blueandgold Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 Why are people complaining, do we not forget when Berry refused to replace Westwood and/or having scrubs coming in and out and us ending up with Serna as our best option?? That'll probably be our situation this time next year, unless you have faith in Sandra.

Plus Palardy will always be a phone call away.... or Cameron....
Guest Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 If Edmonton no longer has use for Shaw, I'd like to see a trade made, kid has some serious leg, accuracy is his issue, maybe a call to the "kicking whisperer" would be needed. Something tells me that this isn't the last stop for McKnight. I'm all for bringing in players for competition, but bringing in players just for the sake of saying your bringing them in isn't a good thing IMO, maybe McKnight ends up being "the guy', but I just don't see it.

He will punt for them.
SPuDS Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 We bring in Sandro because Of Palardy's poor kickoffs and the kickoffs have been ais bad or worse.Really did you bother to check, Sandro's five kick offs are 65, 60, 61, 60, and 56. An average of 60.4 compared to Palardy's 54.4. And I don't think any of them have gone out of bounds. hey, dont let truth and obvious signs of improvement get in the way of a misguided pile of rambling nonsense..

Shaw is worse than Palardy, I don't understand releasing players and signing inferior replacements.
