The difference between Nugents attempts from 50+ and other teams is about one every 8 games. Thta is far from being a "game changer".
If the league average is somewhere around 62%, then we should "average" around 2 points for each time we reach this area.
3 seasons where he missed every kick from 50+ yards.
11-27 from 50+ yards (lifetime) (40.7%).
No higher than 23rd in touchbacks since 2011.
I think that's poor but you can spin it anyway you want it.
When Marvin decides to punt from the other team's 40 (or even maybe the 37
) , you'll know what I meant about it being a "game changer". Staying with the same kicker every single year is not improving. I know good kickers don't grow on trees but I think we've got room for improvement.
