The offense needs to keep scoring when they get down there (they have been superb this season) because I simply don't trust Nugent to make 5/5 kicks. We always talk about trading players... what can we trade for a kicker like Cairo Santos. That kid was gold.
After this season we need to reevaluate the kicking situation because eventually it is going to bite us in the a** (knock on wood). Even if he was the ONLY person to show up in last years playoff game, I just simply can't trust Nugent.
How do you feel about him?
I like Nugent and Huber and we are solid on special teams. 2010: 15 out of 19...2011 : 33 out of 38......2012 : 19 out of 23.......2013 : 18 out of 22......2014 : 26 out of 33......2015 : 3 out of 5 so far.......NUgent has been solid for the Bengals and one of the best kickers in Bengals history. Huber has been solid and together we are solid on special teams.
Now, you can rave about the fantasy football numbers Santos put up yesterday, but the Chiefs were kicking field goals while the Bengals were scoring touchdowns and why the Bengals won the game. I also question why the Chiefs were kicking field goals late in the game when the score dictated that they needed touchdowns. That he even attempted 7 field goals shows something wrong with the Chiefs not able to score in the red zone. It also shows a strange way of coaching, going for field goals in the 4th quarter when you need touchdowns just to get back in the game. ..I am NOT as impressed by Santos......I am NOT as impressed by Santos, or the Chiefs. .....and may I point out that not one of the field goals was to put the Chiefs ahead or with the game on the line at the end. Not one was in the clutch to go ahead or win the game. Yes, he attempted 7 field goals and why the Chiefs were still kicking field goals in the 4th quarter was stupid. Good for fantasy football but stupid for real football. His last 3 field goals were stupid because the Chiefs needed touchdowns.
....but back to Nugent, I trust in Nugent and Huber to help get us to the Super Bowl and WIN !!!!!........Nugent is also pretty good at kicking the ball out of the end zone, which will be key against Seattle and their great special teams kick returners. Nugent and Huber need to keep the ball away from Seattle Super Bowl return men, can't let those guys run wild on us.
