Congrats Adam Korsak… best of luck.

 

[MADHAT1]

good for him and hope his CFL career is a long one if it doesn't lead to a NFL team signing him leading to a long NFL career.

Prove himself up there and the NFL will call.

Now Janarion Grant can return his punts for TDs

Field is 12 yards wider yes?
Maybe a tactical punter is a better fit on a larger canvas

It also depends upon what the rules are in the CFL for the punting team. In the NFL only 2 gunners can go past the LOS before the punt. So his ability to scramble and delay is not something that works in the NFL.

Adam's college football kicking style will be less effective in the CFL. The reason is the punting team must give the punt returner a 5 yard* buffer in which to start his return.

This means, say, Adam the Roughrider sticks a 50-year punt on the on the ten yard line and it is rolling slowly toward the five yard line. Adam's teammates cannot down the ball at the five. The must give the punt returner five yards of space to pick up the ball and begin his return.

Still, Adam should be able to make a CFL roster. However, he would make several times the salary if he makes an Aussie rules football roster.

Because there is no fair catch allowed.

That's some buffer.

 

[DJ Spanky]

That's some buffer.

I guess that really negates any hang time advantage.

Aussie rules is a fun sport to watch. No defense. A while back they hired an NFL consultant and started a draft. The sport has taken off like crazy now. In some areas it's bigger than Rugby.

A field full of Charles Oakley types…big dudes.

At least that’s how it looks on TV to me.
