No he's actually not. He has 11 TB out of 23 kicks, there are only 2 kickers that have had more returnable KO's. Might want to look up the stats before making a statement like that. Look at kickers like Bailey who has 18 TB's to 21 Kicks or Tucker with his 20 TB's out of 22 Kicks. Those guys are good, Nuge is below average at best when you combine his KO stats with his FG misses. Is the lack of TB's a result of coaching? I dunno, I hope not. There should be no reason to kick a returnable ball to this Seattle team this week. With the kickoff rule the way it is now there should be no reason to have a kicker who kicks a TB less than 50% of the time. Maybe we should do like some teams have in the past and have another kicker on the roster just for KO's.
