Haggerty can't place kick at all? - i find this hard to believe.

Lewis Ward might not be a strong punter either, but in the case of injury to Leone, I bet he would be next up and be able to do a far better job than whoever else on the roster. I bet it would be the same with Parede having to punt for the Stamps if need be, or any punter on a CFL roster having to do emergency place-kick duties.

Teams that want to dress just one do it all kicker, or only one back-up O-lineman or one back-up QB, are free to do so - I just don't get the point of taking that risk with CFL rosters so large now.
