Deadpulse Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 18 minutes ago, SBLIII said: We replaced him with Mike Nugent. Last time he kicked close to a full season (13 games) was 2016 and he was 79% FG and 79% XP. 8 games in 2017 saw him do a little better with 84%/88%. Last year he only attempted 11 kicks total so its too small a sample size to glean anything on. Kicking is about to get worse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't think many expected us to find an upgrade during the season. I guess most who wanted Ghost to be replaced want a new kicker either in FA next March or a kicker in the draft. There isn't much good out there right now so Ghost going to IR was not good.

bluemushrooms Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We've signed Younghoe Koo to the PS as well. Love that signing; dude got killed by the mental game after some early misses and didn't get the chance to reset but, he's got talent for sure.

SBLIII Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 I looks like P Jake Bailey will take over kickoff duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nugent's OK, semi-solid career. Has kicked in Cinci and Chicago as well, so used to kicking outdoors. But the kicking game will definitely be worse. I've been the as big a critic of SG as anyone, but he's 100% better than an FA brought in off the street.

Iron_man Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hmm maybe next season we can draft Chase Vinatieri to compete with Gost. He's Adam's nephew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am certainly more critical of Gostkowski, because he absolutely sucks when you need him just not to. Nugent is an upgrade over Gostkowski. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You absolutely are, I actually meant to put (apart from Dole) in there in brackets, but it slipped my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
