Anyone know how Nugent and Obarski are looking in camp?
I see a note every once in a while that says how many each made or missed, but I have not seen anything that compares the two or says which is looking better.
I never really considered Obarski a threat to Nugent, but I would still like to know what is going on with them.

I think for now he's not. (Though I'd like him to be).
I think he becomes a threat in the Preseason games.
He will get to try and hit some long field goals at some point during the preseason in game. If he hits everything and can hit it from further than Nugent, he has got a chance.

I thought the other kicker we had the last offseason showed good during the preseason and was legitimate competition. Nuge still "won" the job (and we still paid him the franchise tag number I think), so not sure if this guy is or not.

He could make the PS which makes some sense if Nuge goes down (See PIT kicker currently). Then he could practice with the same holders and snappers and (hopefully) we wouldn't miss a beat.

Backup kicker Tom Obarski just buried a 54-yard field goal that probably had another 10 or 15 yards to spare #Bengals

WOW.
That's impressive.
I'd like to know how his accuracy is with all other kicks, along with consistency, but a dude with a leg that strong is a weapon on his own and it does great things for an offense when you're in field goal range from a lot farther out.

Practice squad player. Good luck but Nuge is not going anywhere this year.

Well, that seals it: it's Nugent's job. Unless he has a pre-season like that bad stretch last year, it's probably his job until his leg falls off.

I'd say he has a chance!

Hobson usually states when we have a kicking competition. I thought we'd get one with Obarski, but Hobson has sais that he's only here to give Nugent some rest. I wish we'd actually push Nugent and not play the loyalty card, but that isn't happening. Nugent will be our kicker unless he does really bad for 4-5 straight games in the regular season.

There was a camp note the other day about how Obarski didn't have a single miss that day. I'll look for it if people want me to post the link.
I think he's there in case of injury. And I do trust the coaches with this stuff, even it we are sometimes a little slow to move on from a guy.

While it's true that Nuge is our kicker barring injury, I think there is a chance he could lose the job in preseason. Don't forget, XPs have been moved back and Nuge was inconsistent last year. I could see the possibility that if Nuge is inconsistent, especially from medium distance, that they decide to move on from him (assuming Obarski hasn't been inconsistent as well).

Nugent would have to go on a terrible streak for him to lose his spot.

I believe everyone is correct in saying Nuge is a lock. But man do I wish that wasn't the case. I don't wanna say he's been inconsistent, still he's been less than consistent, and makes me nervous more often than not. I was pumped when he hit that 54(?) yarder in the playoffs last season but that may've been more surprise than anything else.
