He the only Canadian placekicker in camp, h... competition a little tighter, because Maher does all three jobs field goals, kickoffs and punts while Hajrullahu is primarily a placekicker. Renaud, meanwhile, is strictly a punter.

going to shake down as to the roster, head coach Mike O said. not going to be an easy decision to make right now. It going to play all the way out to the end, and then we going to have to break it down.

might come down to how our ratio fits and how our roster comes together. completed his CIS career at Western last fall and signed with the Bombers as a free agent. He then went to work asking other CFL kickers he knew, like Calgary punter Rob Maver and Saskatchewan kicker Chris Milo, for tips on how to prepare for the season.

did the usual. I just hyped it up a little bit more, Hajrullahu said. talked to a lot of the guys throughout the league to just kind of see what they do during the off season. One thing they reiterated [url=http://www.officialauthenticsaints.com/authentic-vinnie-sunseri-jersey.html... Sunseri Jersey
was the season long, so make sure if you going to push, the last month kind of take it easy. St. Catharines, Ont., native also spent a few days with Canadian and former NFL kicker Steve Christie in Florida and polished his skills with well known Ontario kicking guru Ken Urquhart.

been around for a very long time, Hajrullahu said. probably has the most All Canadians (in the CIS). He helped Frank Jagas back in the day. He helped Maver before he came (to the CFL), too. He very well known in the OUA. has been lifting some nice punts into the air during the first two days of rookie camp, and he plans to pick Renaud brain when the veteran reports for camp on Saturday. After all, the more you can do still learning with punting, he said. with Renaud here he can help me and give me some tips.

have a good base, and if he gets hurt or I need to go in there I do my K... Fortt Kids Jersey best and try to put up the numbers he can.

He the only Canadian placekicker in camp, and that right there gives rookie hoofer Lirim Hajrullahu a head start in the competition for Winnipeg starting job this season.

The former Western Mustang is competing with American Brett Maher for the team placekicking job, and veteran punter Mike Renaud is the only other specialist currently on the roster. Who ultimately gets each job could depend on the ratio, and teams are reluctant to use an American in the position unless he can do all three jobs.

That makes the competition a little tighter, because Maher does all three jobs field goals, kickoffs and punts while Hajrullahu is primarily a placekicker. Renaud, meanwhile, is strictly a punter.
