mbrg Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Good for the kid. Hopefully he makes it there. And hopefully the guys we kept do great. There we go. Concise and sensible. Exactly how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 If he catches on in Ottawa & scores 130 points & our placekicking isn't as good then it was a huge mistake. So if a guy we cut goes elsewhere, & plays much better than the guy we kept instead, it should be considered a bad thing for us? Thanks for clearing that up.

Goalie Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 WTF.. Maher released? Ottawas kicker is the creepy lumberjack i guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Smith looked very good last year,but maybe all the changes has set him back a bit. Given Popp's record of finding talent, I wouldn't write Smith off too soon, unless you're secretly rooting for Brink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 WTF.. Maher released? Ottawas kicker is the creepy lumberjack i guess? They have a bye Week 1 so they must have a line on some kickers to bring in & evaluate before then. I wonder if they'll pick up Stamps Tyler Crapigna who was released & sent back to CIS this season? He was never going to beat out Rob Maver & Rene Paredes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Maher looked bad in the pre-season game. Missed a FG and put a kick off out of bounds. Not surprising that he was cut, but it is surprising that they don't have any kickers left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime.Yes he was being sarcastic, because your comment basically adds up to:"If the guy we cut ends up better than the guy we kept, then it was a mistake." Well no ****. That's how cuts work. Well actually... in this particular case if Maher plays better than Lirim it doesn't necessarily mean we made a mistake because of the ratio. Basically because we are playing NAT at kicker we don't need to play a NAT somewhere else. So we'd have to look at how much Maher plays better at the kicking position vs. how much of a dropoff we'd have at whatever position we would have to go NAT at if we kept Maher.

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ottawa must be going import at kicker. They aren't going to get any better than Palardy off the NI scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Close, but not quite. Carrying a NI kicker means and extra DI, not an extra starting Import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquie Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Congi? Man Maher's passport is killing his chances more than I thought. I don't think his passport had much to do with his being cut by the RedBlacks. He didn't play well in his pre-season game with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 With the new CBA I have no clue. I think a suspended list is a bad thing as Crapinga was cut. I don't like the idea of a team owning a players rights after they were cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you watch, Maher will have a monster game against us..... though if we play like we did against the Argos, that monster game will mostly be punts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
