BlueBall Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Silly me. Here I was thinking that fixing our quarterback/offense situation should've been our top priority when all this time the real reason we're 1-5 has been because of our kicker. Well glad to see we've remedied the issue. Things should definitely turn around for us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 well it's not like Palardy is an inaccurate kicker himself. well fgs? sure... kick offs? not much there.. also,.his distance kicks are substandard.. and his trust with his holder is slipping...

James Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah if he isn't better at kickoffs... eh. Just keep them in bounds and I'll be happy. There were a few that REALLY screwed them over. And, seeing as we rarely score points, that's a pretty high percentage of screw ups and kills all the momentum we had. That said, Palardy hasn't been the best kicker either. ... I see Parades and I cry a little. Not sure why we cut him. Its not like Palardy was a superstar placekicker at the time. He was fairly accurate inside the forty, but he had a supremely weak leg as he does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robynjt Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 We cut him because when he was here Palardy was better. Debatable. IIRC, they were on par. I'm assuming Palardy stayed because he had "experience" and "seniority" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 We didn't have to cut either of them, we could have went with Palardy and kept Paredes on the practice roster. Never understood why we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, to be fair to the Bombers, nobody knew Paredes would be this good of a kicker. Paredes had to beat out 2 other kickers in a tryout with the Stamps. He was a little known kicker from the CIS at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he got his shot because maver was hurt and just never looked back so even if he was on out PR I'm sure calgary would have plucked him when maver got hurt.

Mr Dee Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Still don't acknowledge that Parades has the consecutive FG record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 The CFL has some extremely stupid rules. When the Stamps convert was blocked last game, the Riders were penalized for No Yards. What kind of frigging rule is that? The team that blocks a convert or FG & it crosses the LOS & the blocking team gets a penalty???? Bush league.

Especially down east where the NFL is king. Canadians who are NFL fans only just look at no yards on a blocked convert, a blocked FG attempt that isn't considered an attempt because the ball never crossed the LOS & an OL being called for PI as being something to laugh at. To me, there's still too many old rugby style rules still in the books that need to be cleaned out. Mr. Perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you played with full NFL rules, they wouldn't watch it because it isn't the "best" players. If you want to make an argument to change a rule to make the game better for the people who watch it, then that should be discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
