We bring in a guy or two this week no matter what. If one of them works out we can IR Nuge till next year. not having a kicker made today a unnessary stressful game.
a fine kicker? did you watch the redskins preseason game or todays game? automatic FGs for any other NFL kicker.
Get us a kicker with a leg. Someone who can donate footballs to the fans sitting in the endzone section.
You do realize he's been our kicker for...3 seasons right? Nugent is the least of our worries. He's a good kicker who also happens to be young, and under our control for a little. I realize I'll never get the answer I want...cause I don't know it...but where do the whiners get the shit the whine about? Is it basically any minor mistake that can be overblown and vaguely analyzed? Have any of you considered sitting back and holding off on the whining 'til we actually know what we have with this team?
I agree in sum that whining is a Jet fan malady, but regarding Nugent, he's inconsistent which by definition means he is not a good kicker. A good kicker is a mister automatic from 40 yards in. That said, I like the kid as a person, but we need another kicker. I thought he was a good pick, and he had a nice stretch last year, but you have to make those <30 yrd fg's.
Nugent's been better than Vinatieri from <30 yard kicks for his career... Just saying. He's fine as a kicker. He's only inconsistent because every minor issue is a major issue when the team is in the largest sports media market in the country. Statistically he's a pretty good kicker. Unless he's injured theres no real point...unless they find an upgrade.
