1. If Charles Roberts had possessed the work ethic of Milt, he'd have set every rushing record and been the GOAT.

2. Guy was still an all time great and its amazing what he did given his lack of working out etc.

 

and he's still an odd duck. Ed and Darren did a "Handled Internally" podcast with him, and it was......awkward......in a lotta spots. Dude is still just kinda weird...

I dont think this was announced yet. But CFL.ca shows we signed this guy last Jan8

Looks to be an interesting signing. Good power rush and spin move, good lateral pursuit and doesn't let up until the QB is horizontal or the ball carrier is.

be interesting to see how things go with signings with mr ringmaiden gone.

Not to mention the legendary stories such as Bomber fans at mcdonalds before a game only to see Roberts standing in line beside them lol, or puffing on a smoke outside.

And ordering a pint sized glass of straight rye.

Hes exactly what our scout team turns up year in and year out. A guy whose biggest weakness is he doesnt fit in the nfl or didnt get a real shot to play. Athletic, high motor, good technical skills. Hes a 4i tweener in the nfl but here he fits perfectly with what we do at DT. Hes got the versatility and pass rush skill to excel in several roles, stunts/twists etc.

DT Ricky Walker

 

Its almost a meme how every year the bombers talk about the OL we bring in being nasty, tough high motor/character guys. This guy looks like the exactly what we look for in OL on the DL side.  Nice pedigree, 30 starts (51 games) for VT with  30.5 TFL  113 tackles (53 solo), 8 sacks, and 6 swats thats pretty good. Getting a TFL per start and more solo tackles then games played from the inside is pretty good.

That would have been an improvement- his usual was two chocolate bars plus a can or two of RedBull. 

Ugh! That would make me throw up!

Obviously you are not a world-class athlete.

I'm only part way through the CJOB Bombers Mid Winter Special, but one note is that Justin Medlock has started a new job that he really likes, apparently. Osh wouldn't say much other than to say that they've talked, and they're going to work with whatever he decides. They seem very comfortable with moving along to Legghio.

As they should be Liegghio is a blue chip K prospect. Would be nice to have Medlock back but the Bombers prepared well for him to ride off into the sunset.

also of note, because we're probably going to need to know (ha ha), it's pronounced "Leg-E-Oh" and says most people call him Legs......

I can think of no more appropriate name for a kicker.

I wish someone could come up with a clip on Leggs, that shows him pounding field goals through from 50 yds. with no problem...This kid is real good and if we're going with him I hope he can transition to the CFL game easily....The TiCats are still fuming over the fact we grabbed him in the draft.....tough for them....that's the way the old ball rolls

Hopefully Young Legs steps up and we don't miss a beat. It does give us another DI which is interesting.

That's a good point...and during Osh's segment of the CJOB show, he talked about how they are really high on all these returner guys they've got, and that they would like to be able to work the roster to get them in on offense. So having the extra DI spot would go a long way to getting more of those guys on the game day roster...

The chants just make themselves! reminiscent of "Rufio!" (Roof E O) from Hook. "Leg E OH!!! Leg E OH!!! Leg E OH!!!"

Leggy McKicksalot?

Legghio looks to be able to drive low kicks ALA Bob Cameron- valuable in windy conditions and overall, an absolute steal for the Bombers. Only danger is that we might lose him to the NFL in a couple of years.
