Then in the second quarter, the snap was high, forcing Vanderjagt to scramâ€" ble and then attempt a pass to an upback that went incomplete. But the coup de grace came in overtime when he was hurried again. He tried to run for the first down but was tackled. The Lions took over the ball at the Saskatchewan 37â€"yard line and proceeded to score the winning touchdown. "Going into the game, all I thought about was playing at the Dome (B.C. Place) and getting a good start to the season. But when I got that the first one "No kidding (it was a rough start)," said Vanderjagt who on the game punted eight times for 310 yards, his longest going 46 yards. ommcz In his first regularâ€"season game as the Saskatchewan Roughriders‘ kicker last Friday, the 23â€"yearâ€"old White Oaks Secondary School graduate had one punt blocked and was forced to improvise on two other occasions in a 33â€"26 loss British Columbia Lions.

"If you don‘t kick well two games in a row, you won‘t be here." Being a professional now, Vanderjagt finds the approach to football more different than in his college days in West Virginia. The 6â€"footâ€"5, 201â€"pounder is getting paid a CFL base salary of $27,500 this season, although he could be up to $35,000 with incentives. $V d vV L4 )Y UL _ _ "T‘ve been trying to kick it out t of bounds and low and away," gO long Vanderjagt said.

Vanderjagt says he‘s been asked to alter his kicking style somewhat in practice this week, what with Edmonton boasting return specialist Henry "Gizmo" Williams.
