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.

 

Apparently all of DeAngelis' stats are worse than Palardy's. If all they wanted was longer kickoffs they should have kept the Non Import Aussie Kicker.

I can't argue with that logic but, Burke And Dickenson have worked with the SandMan before.

I can only take that as their logic for this questionable signing.

Yeah if he isn't better at kickoffs... eh.  Just keep them in bounds and I'll be happy.  There were a few that REALLY screwed them over.  And, seeing as we rarely score points, that's a pretty high percentage of screw ups and kills all the momentum we had.  That said, Palardy hasn't been the best kicker either.

 

... I see Parades and I cry a little.

Annnnnd Sandra gets the starting gig.....wow this week is shaping up to be a doozie!

like in 2010 when I went to the game in August against Hamilton only to watch Buck get hurt in the first quarter and Mike Renaud kicking converts as the field-goal kicker that we had just signed after cutting the smurf Serna got hurt in warm-ups.

I remember that. Who was the kicker again?

Louie Sakoda or something like that.  The kicker that we were up against in that game for Hamilton?  Sandro DeAngelis.

So do we place bets on if another player punches him in the face or not? Or do we just jump to placing bets on who will do it first?

 

Put 100 internet dollars on 88 Jay Detaine giving Sandro some free dental work.

no it will be Renaud.  If Burke Dales is any indication.

They came to blows on the sidelines during a game while both were with the Stamps.

During practice wasn't it?

Renaud & DeAngelis were teammates briefly in Calgary a few years ago.

A kick off?? Nope ...didn't have one

Hmm..

This is going to turn things around big time for the Bombers.  Time to 'KICK' some 'Cat butt!

 

Sandro goes 8-8 and gets carried off the field on the team's shoulders.  Get your cameras ready!    

U can't seriously consider this move has any long term benefit. Just another bandaid on open heart surgery. Or rather a limp that needs amputation (BoD)

Not the first time Sandro got worked over by a teammate

Giving some context to that tweet might be helpful.

Sandra has a big mouth. I heard his interview saying he was better now than when he was young. Compared himself to a vintage wine. Sounds like his mouth got him in trouble more than once.

What was wrong with what he said?

he's a Blue Bomber now.  Everything he says is going to be spun negatively.

Sorry, I put up with him here in Calgary for 5 years. He left on a real bad note. Became a real problem  in the locker room.

Yeah I sincerely hope that fatherhood truly has matured Sandra. The last thing we need now is another headache.
