  • My vote would be to give Leggs another shot at it.

    Something had to be done. This is a good move.

man I was rooting for this kid hard but you can't defend his game today.

Crapigna is injured and not "injured," right?  He's really the only other option at this point unless Leggs has figured it out.

Crapigna injured his hamstring.

He has kicked his last pro kick ever. He is terrible. 

First rounder for Lewis ward?…. Would that do it for Ottawa?… bombers probably aren’t giving up any young players, especially Canadians…

Osh is a pretty loyal guy and a bit slow to change but that was extremely painful to watch and hopefully he has had enough. Personally I would send him home, give it to Leggio and start trying to bring in a established kicker. If Legs starts hitting between the uprights regularly before that happens then stick with him. He seems to have corrected alot if his punting woes so maybe he can do the same on his place kicking now.

We aren't doing that, that is crazy.

Find an American kicker

That’s crazy. He’s a pending free agent and can sign back to Ott in free agency. 

I would offer a 4th and can be upgraded to 2nd if we can re-sign him.

We are due to lose a game on kicking. The thing that worries me alot is with the Grey Cup and playoffs being so late in the year, kicking will be even more important at that time.

I would give a first rounder in a heartbeat if we can lock up a Canadian kicker.

Would allow us to dress another import DB..WR..LB...whatever we wish and would really make that game day lineup killer.

If we go American at the kicker spot again to me it Medlock or nothing..and from what I know that won't be happening

Did it for Collaros and everyone and their dog basically said he would never resign here...and look what happened.

Players get here and get a taste of that locker room and the organization..play in front of the fans...they are hooked.

Many also said Willie would leave too...chase money elsewhere....didn't happen

Pluck off Dante Brown from Edm PR.

Interesting fact about Brown. He was supposed to go to Western to form up a kicking tandem with Leggz. Obviously it did not happened. 

Food for thought. Mourtada is 4/10 (40%) this year. We are getting dangerously close to being mathematically better off punting for the rouge on terms of expected value.

This assumes he can hit the end zone 100% of the time, which to be honest not sure if that is a safe assumption at this point.

Ali Mourtada for mayor of Winnipeg. Someone that incompetent should be a high ranking government official!

I believe he would have to agree to coming here and we would have to put him on the roster. Not on the practice roster 

I'm never surprised when we give too much time to a bad player. I hope his time is over but who knows. At this point we could grab like 5 different guys off prs. By any means necessary get a kicker. Other than giving up a starter or Eli. 

I keep coming back to something mentioned on OB on the post game, do we want to look back and say we would have won the Cup if not for our kicker? I'd offer up something for Lewis Ward (loathe to offer a first but honestly I'd go up to a second at this point) or even Whyte.

Sayanora and adios Mourtada.....some of the worst efforts I've seen from the guy...He can't get it done....NEXT

His kickoffs last night were well placed. So we need three kickers. Punt, KO and place kicking. Kidding.

I just can't justify using a 1st rounder on a kicker.

We got a franchise QB for a 1st rounder.

Prince Ali needs to hop on the carpet and head back to Agrabah or find a magic genie like now
