Nuge would be somewhat ok if he wasn't allowed to kick in the first game of the season. Didn't he fall down on his face in the opening game 2 years ago, and then had htat horrible outing in the opening game last year, and then the incident this week?
Jets release Cummings to make room for Feely http://www.thejetsblog.com/2008/09/10/jets-release-kenwin-cummings/
So much hate...lol. I'm going to put it out there fellas. I like Nugent. There you go I said it. To be honest he really can't miss a kick like the one against the phins. Lost in all this is the fact that he was injured when he took that kick - why is it we're bagging the hell out of a guy for being injured? What's his prerogative for making more of it than it is? Whatever - He's gunna have to miss a few more sitters or game on the line kicks before I jump on this particular bandwagon of hatred!
Nuge did not have a particularly good pre-season. However, I'm not ready to throw him under the bus because I was never enamored with Feely, either. I guess it depends how Feely does this week.
I for one would not want to wait to see if he's going to miss more FG's he should make. He's a good kid, and if we were looking at 4-12 again, maybe let him have his chance. But this is a special year and you have to maximize your chance of winning it all this year. Maybe he would not miss the rest of the year--who knows? But Feely, if he is the Feely of old, has the better chance of hitting a 40 yarder--of course, just my opinion. On a side note, I fu**in' love fans post from NZ, Australia, Scotland, UK, Germany, etc. Rock on New Zealand!
he will be fine playing for us, i assume he sees this opportunity as a good shot in becoming a good NFL kicker, again... i mean c'mon he is going to be playing with brett favre, favre is going to lead us down the field and its his shot to give us 3 points for us and favre and he misses.. wow.. i think he would not want to feel that way. so practice your ass of and be prepared.
yeah dude, i played with Kenwin at Wingate University.....kids a beast!!!!!!! wish ya'll woulda gave him a shot....specially sucks gettin cut for a kicker.....pisses me off
