Rate your confidence in Leggs

Yes, we have been talking about this all day in CFLers in the NFL. I don't know if he's done with the NFL just yet. I would also like to wait and see if Drew gets cut. Drew would be a big upgrade to our Canadian talent on our OL.

Thing with Lirim is his Canadian status and he punts. He has a strong leg. He has this next game to redeem himself and gain back his confidence. If he does this, I don't think we see MOS/Walters pull the trigger on a new kicker. All our games with the Stamps this year have been dog fights.....I expect the same and I wouldn't underestimate Maier at QB. He's had good success against us in the past.

I'd bet his lease is a year.. like most leases... his leash, on the other hand...

Ards?..leash or lease. Speak St.Vitalese! Lol!

Leggio is probably going to be good. Just not now. He will cost players,money
Trade for Castillo back

His contract has an option for the 3rd year. Maybe they trade him.

Not sure what is available in the draft next year.

The Fresh Prince Of Belair, MB · August 26, 2022, 12:46:36 PM

On the post game show Taylor mentioned Leggs went 5 for 5 last night on his FG/XP combined.
Every single kick was from 32 yards out.
His miss on the last play in regulation vs. MTL? 32 yards out!

Defies logic. Even if he is a bad or worst kicker to ever play in the CFL, why would another team want to trade for him then? Who would then become our kicker?

according to the posters here, there are tons of kickers out there. Maybe pick someone up from down south in the off season.

So, bounce back game, 5 for 5 on kicking attempts, decent punting/kickoffs.

I think we have our kicker.

Does all three jobs,at a decent price, as a NAT.

Sorry to those that want a change, but Leggs checks off all the boxes that make our team stronger and more versatile.

Pigskin · August 26, 2022, 06:11:37 PM

Yes, i think he had a very good game last night. Nice bounce back by a young kicker.

The pool of kickers is always a small pool. Teams don't bring in 10 kickers for TC. Some kickers can only punt or kick off. I dispute there are ever " tons " of kickers out there.

Bring in someone to compete in TC. Sure because an injury is always possible and workloads in TC are high.

The point is that you don't just trade away someone you think is not good enough. If that's true nobody wants to trade for him regardless of position. You also don't do that if you haven't found an alternative.

That's what not logical in your comments.

I know my thoughts are not logical. the purpose of the post was to bring attention to the option year on his contract. There are a lot of people that would like to see Leggs gone, those are not the logical people.

He is very valuable when you see the ages of some of the veteran kickers. AND he does all 3 and he is Canadian and he is young. $$$$

GOLDMEMBER · August 26, 2022, 10:34:14 PM

He went for a 5 to an 8 out 10 for me. It IS what have you done for me lately business.

TecnoGenius · August 26, 2022, 10:48:22 PM

Yes, Leggs' star is rising after last night's performance. Not missing anything all night is a great accomplishment. No real testing distances, but I'm more interested in seeing consistency at the must-make ranges (under 35).

My beef with him wasn't missing a 37 2 weeks ago, it was missing the 32 plus the rouge.

We'll see how he continues to perform. I still think KW is eyeing a "playoff run kicker", I mean, why not? We shall see!!
