Now, that we've got him, let's keep 'em! Yeah, I know our depth chart has too many QB's, Wide Receivers and Kickers, but we exposed Ratliff, Ainge's tallent and Henry's potential in the preseason plus Clowney, Nugent got hurt. We got some relief with Ben Graham getting the boot. Hopefully, we'll get good news on Nuge this Friday. I hope to use or lose Brad Smith (maybe copycat the wilcat). Thank God, we kept Wallace Wright - if it was ever a question? He's looking like he can earn a trip to Honolulu.

Why don't we find them for the NFL based on where the kick lands. I'll bet touch backs are better. Except for one Hobbs kick, Nugent has been very responsible for the field position problems the past several years. It's just silly to keep defending him as anything more than an average kicker. Remember, percentage is a factor of whether the coaches want to bother with longer field goals. From inside the 35 he is no different than the average guy. Cutting him may not be the answer now, but I would sure like to see these guys bring in every available guy in the offseason. I don't know what it is but every time he runs out there I expect a screw up of some kind. Bent-

That's 75%...worse than Nugent's numbers for every year he's been in the league. Nugent was a crazy draft pick, but he's decent enough. I don't get what cutting him for an inferior kicker that wasn't a crazy draft pick achieves other than some dead cap space. I prefer the kickoffs that land at the ten to the ones which get returned 108 yards by Ellis Hobbs, that's for sure! Feely is 6-8 (would be 6-9 but for a defensive penalty).

Don’t know why, my guess is a lack of focus on strength and conditioning, in today’s NFL the kickers should not get hurt, especially if they did what they need to do in the off season. I would place him on injured reserve force him in the weight room and look for improvement in the off-season if there is none let him go.
