You must be bored. Watch the game again. Every kick that direction went left to right. I'll give you that it was low, but the wide part isn't as clear cut as people like to believe. bigg jay, wbbfan, coach17 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is we don't know what would have happened with that kick had it not been blocked. It started left sure but tons of kicks do bend back. We can't say what would have happened. Fact is the kick was blocked so none of that matters. #1 problem on that play was the lack of blocking. Judging by earlier kicks starting left was what he needed to do in that wind. The attempt did look low, but that is not uncommon for kickers to do on windy days either. We have zero idea whether his kick was good or not because an opposing player was able to get through the line almost unblocked and knock that kick down. Putting that on the kicker is wholly unfair. 11 minutes ago, bryan35 said: Don't kid yourself. It was going wide and low. Stop defending a horrible kick. You must be bored. You could gauge that from the 6 feet of distance that kick travelled and from a TV angle that wasn't straight away. Wow...you should be working for NASA. 14 hours ago, bryan35 said: My bad then.

Bad kicker??? We have a fragile kicker that played a big role in losing the Grey Cup. Go ahead defend him but he needs to get better. Deny that if you want.

I think we're almost all in agreement that we need to see improvement from him next season and most of us would like to see competition in camp. bigg jay, BigBlueFanatic, wbbfan and 8 others 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His punting was an abomination. I just think it is unfair and unrealistic to blame a kicker because his kick was blocked. He did not lose us that game....at least not by himself that's for sure.

Agreed he needs to get better and competition is needed in camp. Not ready to give up on him yet but some posters seem to be in a bit of denial regarding his play so far.

Kickers much less so, so cut Liegghio some slack.

How do we know that? Starting a kick left and having it come back right is not unheard of, sometimes it's even intentional. Low? Sure but too low to get through? Again we can't say. Legghio said he hit the ball good and it would have been good. He is the only one which half a clue. We all don't know **** about what would have happened. Remember the talk about feels vs. Reals?

SpeedFlex27 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I have no problem with Legghio being our full time punter but I sure do as a kickoff specialist & kicker.

MOBomberFan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) If you've watched football you've definitely seen kicks go sharp one direction only to hook back in the other. Same as you've seen perfect looking kicks drift to hit the post or go wide. Happens lots. We'll never know for sure if that kick was going in or not. It looked like a foul ball but once it had some air under it who knows? Not a single one of us.

I am on the normal side of this conversation that thinks we bring Leggs back and probably see continued improvement. But you can't say that kick goes in anymore than someone can say it wouldn't have gone in. bearpants and Wideleft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
