Bodnar is regarded primarily as a punter, topping the Canadian junior ranks with a 41.7 average in '09, but also improved his field goal accuracy this past season.
Well Take Bonar cause Maver will be gone and We Really need a Good Canadian Punter
Without name dropping I heard from a scout that the Cats are high on a few punters they had at a free agent camp at the stadium a few weeks ago, if this is true they won't need to waste a pick on a punter. I was told they were Canadian kids
Coach, as an Argo fan, Bruno Lapointe at #9? I think actually the Argos have #8 & #11 pics..I hope Shomari Williams goes #1, he would replace Zeke Moreno in the middle quite well...
You are correct, Gil. The Ticats' number five overall pick was forfeited and no longer exists. All selections after the forfeited pick move up one number in the draft. The Argos therefore have the number 8 and 11 overall picks.
Unless Ray Guy comes out of retirement, I just can’t see any way we go with an American punter…It would make no sense at all! I still think our first pick should not and will not be a punter…We’ll see in 2 days I guess.
I wouldnt bother drafting a punter considering it's NOT a need for any other team except us and all these guys except Maver will be there to sign after the draft.
You also have to fact in ball placement and hang time, but still i cant see a 41 yard average getting Obie too excited that he’d give up huge pieces to get the 4th pick.
Maver has the extra allure as back-up place kicker and kick-off specialist if required.
Obie is smart. I see Maver going to either Toronto us or Calgary. If it is Calgary then we get Dales and all is well. If it is us all is good. If the Argos get him then we sign a FA punter that falls through the draft.
I often wonder if other players have hidden kicking talent that they do not know about. I mean Joe Zugar used to be our punter, another year we had back-up QB Dave Marler. Stala is an OK punter. With all the great athletes on a football team you would think a few could punt.
