How Are the Argos doing in Free Agency?

I like Waters, as a person and as a kicker but I’m cautious of his inconsistencies and injuries.

So say we all.

If he can stay healthy, I'd expect an improvement in our punting game. Hajrullahu was an accurate place kicker but a below average punter.

Disagree on the below average punter thing. He was pretty consistent on placing the ball between the numbers and sidelines which is what coaches want out of punters these days. Waters, IIRC, was booming punts, but mostly straight down the middle of the field. I hope he has improved on his punt placement.

I'll take directional punting over "big leg" punting any day.

I agree 100%. LH's punting was inconsistent as hell. At his peak, Waters was an ace punter. Remember the Labour Day in Hamilton (2014?) where he put two punts out of bounds at the one? Sure, it was four years ago. But stranger things have happened than 30-somethings overcoming the "he's always injured" rap.

Inconsistent is probably a better word. Some games it seemed like he was providing nothing but very returnable line-drive kicks.
