Nuge isn't terrible. He had a shaky bit there in the beginning of the year. Probably enough so to be fired from about 30 of the other 31 teams. But he bounced back quite nicely. Probably our MVP in the playoff game too. Not sure if I should put a or a   I would like to find a kicker that is more reliable from outside 45 yards though.

The Bengals love Nugent. I find it tough to believe that anyone will unseat him.

But I'll maintain that we never should've let Josh Brown walk out the door.

No NFL kicker is terrible, at least not these days. I don't have the exact numbers, but Nuge is statistically one of the NFL's worst over the last few seasons. He did rebound quite nicely last season, which was surprising after the horrific start to the year. Most kickers are fragile and don't rebound so easily.
