The real Marc Liegghio showed up to play last night. 

I agree. Legghios punting was God awful that game

Well the sport is about everyone executing their job and he sure as hell wasn’t anywhere close to it in that game on all fronts.  Maybe if he doesn’t swing a punt right down the seam that gets returned into our end for the Argo TD “drive” we don’t need the kick at the end.

Not to start anything here… 🙂
But as I recall, there were quite a few Liegghio defenders on this site last year… even after his debacle performance in the playoffs, including playing the single biggest role in us losing the Grey cup.
The only ones I was more irritated with at that time was the bomber brass. Why they went out and got Medlock after the Lirum 2015 season and then went out and got Castillo after realizing Leggio was pooping the bed in 2021 yet decide to stick with him in 2022…??
this after openly saying that both Medlock and Castillo we’re worth it because you cannot afford to be without a reliable kicker and hope to win a championship. They knew this! They acted on it twice before!
So, I am sorry my friends, MOS is the bomb in a lot of ways. But this weird loyalty thing really gets in the way sometimes. O’Shea still has to wear our failure to three peat in a significant way.

I'm beginning to suspect... that liegghio might not be a very good kicker

Liegghio makes all his kicks, and  Hamiltons only down by a few right now 😳

Lewis should have got OPI there.

Someone bump the Legghio vs. Castillo thread!

Crooked Leggio

Lol Liegghio 

There’s no likely about it, and we all knew Legs was gonna cost us the GreyCup. 

I can’t believe anyone would argue that we’d rather have Legs. We likely don’t win in 2020 if we don’t bring Castillo on. 
 
 

For me, the difference is simple.  With Castillo, I expect him to make it and I'm surprised when he doesn't.  For Liegghio, I was worried he'd miss and relieved when he didn't.  It's all about expectations.

Castillo won us a Grey Cup and Liegghio soiled his shorts.
Another underrated aspect of the move is that we have a punter on league minimum for 3 years and Liegghio was headed to Hamilton next year anyway.

Castillo has already shown us that he can be clutch in the biggest game, Legghio showed us he couldn't. I could care less how good Legs #'s are in the regular season, he gone, we have Sergio and we're better off.

My physician has stated that switching from Liegghio to Castillo has done more for my blood pressure than years of medication!

yeah....and Castillon was huge in 2021

Saddest part is if Castillo would have come back last season, we are likely threepeat champs right now......

While the FG% is the same, Sergio is making 88.4% of his converts and Legs is at 66.7%, an area where he has struggled before. Sergio has 7 attempts from 40 or beyond while Legs has 3. 6 out of 19 or nearly 33% of Legs kicks are from less than thirty yards while Sergio has only 3 from that distance. I wish Leigghio nothing but the best but I'd rather have Sergio.

Without Castillo we would not have won back-to-back championships. Glad he's back. No one else i'd rather have for the playoffs.

Lots of guys are great when theres no pressure. Lets see how he does with the game on the line during the playoffs.

I think the trust was simply gone with Liegghio. We had to move on. It's similar to Lirim Hajrullahu... we moved on and he became great elsewhere. But moving on wasn't a mistake.

Maybe they should start charging a PST 😉

Buy the $27 seats… sit in the $65 section… I’m sure there won’t be too much competition for those seats 

Hot Take: Calgary is a dumpster fire that's almost as bad as Edmonton, and I say roll with Brown this week to give ZC8 some rest if he needs it........

I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s able to play.  They may just be taking a cautious approach to make sure he’s definitely 100% before letting him practice.  But as others have said, we have no idea what his exact injury even is, never mind how serious it is/was…. So who knows?
Having Brown as our plan B, is pretty damn decent.
