Luca Congi stinks, he missed two critical field goals tonight up close in a close game that for the first three quarters could have gone either way? I said at the start of the year, why not get Justin Medlock back when he was cut by the Panthers but many fans said I was crazy we had Luca Congi a great kicker, well, where is the great kicker now?? The only good guy we have is Josh Bartel our punter if could place kick it would be great?
Big cat I agree with you , bring back Medlock who was easily the best field goal kicker we had in a long time . I have been following the cats since 1971 and have been to the last 28 grey cups and I read the forums daily. and when the one person says he has been one of our bright spots do you even watch the game. He missed a 34 field goal against Toronto which if he would have made then we would have only had to kick a field goal at the end to win the game , Also he missed a field goal to start the Edmonton game which would have gave us momentum to start the game and tonight he missed two field goals which would have put us up by 9 not 5 at the end of the game . Also his kickoffs are terrible never reaching the end zone giving the other team instant field position. And you fans disagree with Bigcat .
There is a reason BRODY MCKNIGHT is with us....ozzy must be seeing something in congi's game that he is very concerned with...we now have 3 place kickers on our roster......you cant have a kicker that misses EASY field goals like congi has the past few games.
Doesn’t Luca get a pass since Fantuz (his primary holder) has missed a couple of games? Bartel has been Fantuz’s replacement in the interim and he’s apparently never done this job before.
my thoughts exactly. It does look like Luca is missing some easy FGs but if you’re not familiar with (or comfort yet) with the guy who is spotting the ball for you then your timing may be off just enough to turn those once taken-for-granted points into misses…give him a break. If this continues when Fantuz returns then yes, I’d say there is a problem but until then…
The fact that Fantuz his holder is out is a great point kicker.
I really feel we should cut Congi some slack on this FFS!
Wasn’t Fantuz his holder in Sask. to?
It is about timing and co-ordination with all three (kicker, holder and snapper). Replace one and there could be issues. Im not sure if this was factored in, but there should be practice time for the backup too, and maybe some semi regular playing time so that the substitution in the future goes more smoothly. If that was indeed the problem last night. Fantuz has been out for a couple of games. Didnt Bartel hold for Congi last game?
