I've never been a big Nugent fan. Part of it was probably people going nuts in 2010 that we signed an OSU player. I usually hold my breath when he kicks the ball.
There are two issues that I take when it comes to him. The first one is that we don't seem to bring in any competition for him during the offseason. I mean the second we signed Obarski after the draft, Hobson immediately wrote how Obarski was simply here to give Nugent a break during camp. I truly don't understand why they won't push this guy. Seriously, Josh Brown comes in during 2012 season and kicks us to the playoffs. How do we reward the guy? We offer up a small deal that Nugent jumps on because he probably won't get this kind of job security from any other team.
The second issue is the answer as to why they probably will never cut him. Nugent grew up a Bengals fan. How many times do we have to hear this? I know Hobson mentioned it at least twice last season. Any time Nugent struggles, that gets brought up as to why he sticks around. AJ Hawk is another example of this to me. The guy is nothing special out there, but he went to OSU and grew up a Bengals fan. It seems like something that Mike Brown would use to justify keeping a player around.

You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
