Many on here have blasted Nugent, saying he doesn't have the leg to bury the ball on kickoffs. I've long suspected Simmons is telling him not to, relying on Special Teams speed to tackle the returner short instead of just giving them the 20 yd line. Now, with the new rule this year bringing touchbacks out to the 25, I suspect burying the deep inside or out the back of the end zone is not going to be the plan for many teams. Giving them a quarter of the field..... no thanks.
