I think kicker is one area that could really be an issue later in the season if we are in a tight game that is decided by 3 points or less. Hopefully it does not come to that with the way the offense is playing but it could. Nugent has me worried because I think he has the weakest leg in the league and he consistently cannot even kick a touchback and that does worry me. He is pretty solid from within 40 yards or less but if the attempt is from 41 yards or more then it is iffy at best. I get nervous every time he tries an attempt over 40 yards because he is just not accurate from that range. I know a lot of people like him because he played at OSU and I do like him but I am just not sold on him being a great kicker for us. I wish we had a kicker like Justin Tucker because he is near perfect from kicks between 45-50 yards and he can kick it with ease from 50-55 yards which is what we are definitely missing. I just feel that Nugent is only here because of the loyalty that the front office and Marvin have for their players. If he continues to regress like he has I think we seriously need to take a strong look at another kicker in the offseason because we need someone that has a strong leg and is accurate and can be trusted. At this point I am not sure if it is a mental thing or not with Nugent but he just cannot be 100 percent trusted when kicking a field goal and even an extra point which could hurt us later. Who Dey
