6 pointsI see two clear limits: 1. He is not being trotted out for long FGs. We punt instead. If the coaching staff had faith (ie. Medlock) he would make some attempts here and there. 2. He gets in his own head. When he misses one, he misses multiple (ie. The BC and Montreal games this year).6 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
Serious question.... how many times have the Bombers been in position where a long field goal attempt might be feasible? Anecdotally it seems to me the Bombers offense either moves deep or gets stopped well short.5 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

5 pointsIm ok with letting Liegghio right the ship but if he starts shanking gimme field goals again down the stretch something needs to be done. Castillo was 5/5 in the Grey Cup last season. Anyone here think that were back-to-back champs right now if Liegghio was our kicker in the Grey Cup? I dont.5 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

Lirim was let go by us after having a brutal sophomore year and alot of fans were calling for his head. I think we stay the course this time with a young kicker...good thing MOS is probably the most patient coach i have ever seen.3 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

3 pointsI don't know how you could argue he doesn't have limitations. He's 50% between 30 and 40 yards, hasn't attempted anything longer than 47. Half of his made kicks are under 30 yards. The 90% figure is nice (82% now) but you can't evoke PAREDES who is 10-12 from 40 plus this season and 5-6 over 50 within that. Liegghio's range is a severe limitation. I don't mind him as a punter but he's incredibly slow at getting the ball to his foot which is always risky. I think if Liegghio wants to last as long as Paredes he probably has to pick one specialty and to my mind that would be punting. But he's really the only option we have right now because the personnel department didn't bring in competition. So it's a limitation they'll have to deal with. Like in the Als game...score a bloody TD and Liegghio doesn't matter.3 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

If the OL can have a better game, hopefully Brady can grab some yards, open up play action a bit and not put a ton of pressure on Schoen and Demski for constant second and long production....3 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

3 pointsLapo 4-19 in Ottawa since 2021. 0-3 with Massoli. What's this about being some kind of great coach?? Even with Massoli healthy all season, he'd probably be 2-7 or 3-6. LaPo's a disaster.3 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

3 pointsYour last sentence sort of answers your own question of “why wouldn’t we?” Cost and wanting to be here. And speaking of small sample sizes, I’d rather not chuck a young guy based on less than 10 games of kicking last year. The last time we did that too quickly, we scrambled to get him back (Castillo). The time before that, he went on to be a star elsewhere and now we are pining for him again (Hajrullahu). Kickers miss kicks, doesn’t mean we run them out of town at the drop of a hat. Liegghio will learn, get better, and has made more game-winning pressure kicks (Calgary last year, Ottawa this year) than he has missed to cost us (Montreal this year).3 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

3 pointsAgain, sure... but there's track records involved in both your guys thoughts. I don't think anybody is shouting at the rafters to cut legs. There is a reason we brought in another guy last year. I personally don't think that's the case this season. Mostly because "larry" will possibly find another NFL club and would command more money then we could shell out. To Liegghios credit aside from the Montreal mishaps, and "mishap" being a gentle way of putting it. He's done a good job in all three phases of his game I think the better question is why wouldn't we want the guy who's hung around the NFL, kicked for the cowboys, and had success at the CFL game too. Has legs kicked a 50 + yarder once this year? How about over the course of his career? I'm not being condescending I'm actually curious. I suppose it's possible I'm being a "fanatic" here but I'd prefer a sample size of more than 10 games to fully trust our kicker. I'll reiterate myself here. In a perfect world, one which the price was right and he wanted to come to winnipeg. Why wouldn't we want him?

Leggs was doing fine in all facets....kickers miss, and as long as its not a trend I am ok with it....u HAVE to trot him back out there and forge on...to work through it...which I a sure is nothing to work through anyway...**** happens....u yank him...or or test out some one else you will ruin him for the yr...We have a team built on offense and especially on defense where we dont have to rely on hitting 45 yard or more field goals all the time in order to have a chance to win2 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

2 pointsyup, worse than that? that is dystopia. imagine this... "The Band-Aids keep getting bigger, and the time we’ve bought with them keeps shrinking, because we still use much more water than the Colorado River can reliably produce. We’ve hit a crossroads: If we don’t do a lot more to shrink this imbalance in 2023, the lakes are done." imagine the strife anger and violence when that happens. yet stiill irrigating desert to grow hay. Americans will certainly be looking for someone to blame, and it wont be right wing, stupid, so called, skeptics. Oil co will do what they always do, close up shop. walk away. sad to look at the history of this, right back to when Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the whitehouse roof, and ronald reagan, took them down. If they had started what they are doing now even ten years ago, the worst would have been averted. all so somebody could own a five hundred foot yacht. anyway change is coming, if you live Alberta sell your house now.

2 pointsThey have had their moments this year for sure. In the 1st game, they had 4 sacks and held the Bombers rushing attack to under 50yrds I believe. In our 2nd game, Zack was not sacked and the Bombers had 150yrds on the ground. I'm hoping our ground game can keep up the same pace as the last few weeks and that Buck game plans to help Zack out with the blitzes which he struggled to do in MTL.2 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

2 pointsNo Mudge was not ever considered the greatest lineman who has ever played in the CFL. He won MOOL 1 time. and then went on to have 1 more all star season. Hell if you're going to compare Bryant to anyone it should be Walby and even Walby has admitted that Bryant is the better of the two. There hasn't ever been a "Dave Mudge is the best OL this league has ever seen" conversation. And considering the Media plays a role on who gets the awards at the end of the year, you're wrong again. Who has been better than Bryant? I'll concede this isn't his best year. But acting like he's even remotely replaceable is, again, ridiculous. And yes on Heavy formations the 6th OL plays basically a TE blocking position....which is what happened all throughout Bryants career...2 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

2 pointsOther interesting piece is that 2 imports leave the roster and only 1 import is added. They added a global in Machino as the 7th OL. He can sub for anyone. We have 3 globals on the roster. Interested to see if Machino gets some action, otherwise might question why they didn't add an import OL or DL instead.2 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

2 pointsRoy Shivers & Danny Barrett started the culture we see today over 20 years ago. Shivers always was a loudmouth as a GM. He created this "Us Against Them" mentality with the Rider fans. Barrett as a HC as well. Shivers used to make a big deal about his skin colour. Shivers proudly used to announce that he only scouted black players. You'd think the **** show Shivers created would have gone away once he left but it didn't & it's still going strong today with that fanbase & team. Guys like Thug Garrett Marino, AC Leonard, Nick Marshall & Pete Robertson screaming with elation on the sidelines as Nathan Rourke lay injured on the Mosaic Stadium turf. It was a clean hit but there he was screaming nonetheless. Never seen a team act as badly as the Riders do. I know a few Rider fans who are getting tired of the circus act.2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
