    Knowing how weird kickers can be and how its largely psychology that makes the difference between good kickers and horrible kickers, 1-3 from under 45 yards is concerning to me.

    Its time to bring in some competition for Nugent. He's had a free pass for long enough.

    I'm probably gonna get killed for even saying this, and I know it's extremely far fetched, but does anyone think that he may have knowingly shanked it to avoid going to OT in a preseason game.

    If he knowingly shanked it he still F#@ked it up as it went off the upright.

    Only preseason? That is BS.....That has nothing to do with it....IM just waiting for us to have a chance to beat new england in weak 2 and him miss a kick...i dont have any confidence in him.....that is the difference between the elite kickers and the rest....we need another kicker ....cut him and bring in feely

    Absolutely.
    It makes 100% sense --- especially for this FO & CS.
    Nugent is a Boobway draft mistake.
    Tangini inherited him, so they are off the hook for him.
    Bring in Feeley.

    Feelys percentage was almost 10.5 % better than Nugent's was last year.

    Nervous ??? Parcells said it best when he said everything inside the 30 should be automatic. If you have to think whether kicker will make it or not and it becomes part of your gameplan, then you need a new kicker. I am afraid I have to agree
