What is going on? Hajrullahu and Leone absolutely shanking routine kicks, kickoffs going nowhere :dizzy: :tp: :clown: :bang:

I suspect Fera will get a long look this week, but looks like Winnipeg is going to provide competition to parachuting in another kicker...

If Fera gets activated off the PR, who goes on?

I highly doubt they are looking at Fera. I also don't think its even close to compare Hajrullahu to Leone. A few missed kicks here and there hardly warrant benching one of players for BC that has been the most consistent this year. Short of that for the most part he has been clutch! Seems a bit left field if you ask me.

I've been a big fan of Leone since he came in this year, but he has been struggling. His gaffes were a big factor in the loss to Edmonton and yesterday was a gong show. He's young and I think it would serve him well to watch for a game or two .However, from a practical standpoint, this might be impossible as he wouldn't last on the PR and I don't think we can afford to carry 2 kickers. Hopefully he can settle down and get back to the form he showed earlier in the year.

Don't forget Leone is a natural punter who has recently added place kicking to his repertoire. On the job learning.

One of the misses was partially blocked , not his fault . Nor was the blocked punt on him . After watching the recording of the game ,it looked much better then it appeared at the stadium . The guy has been great most of the season , the one area where BC consistently has been better at then their opponents and people want him benched for 2 sub-par games .Macallum missed one yesterday too and Leone probably has about a 10 yd average advantage over Macallum on punts .

He might have the advantage if McCallum was punting. I recall it was someone else doing the punting.

When he was playing for us he did the punting , my comment is in reference to having let PM go in favour of Leone , not comparing to the Riders . They are using 2 roster spots to our one , advantage BC .
