Pats new kicker is Mike Nugent

[DaBruinz]

Allowing 30+ yds/ret, ranked near the bottom of the league.

Allowing only 5 returns on 26 kick-offs isn't bad.. Yes, the 30.6 ypr isn't good and needs to be improved upon but part of that could have been from the lack of hang time on Gost's kicks due to his hip injury..

Is it that bad? I guess I haven't noticed. It appears solid to the naked eye. But its been terrible in years pass so maybe I forgot what good kickoff coverage looks like.

Playoff games at home in possible bad weather ...
Nugent for now was the logical choice.

Why is it wrong to think that a washed up kicker is not the right call for this team? I would like to see a younger player brought in with a bigger upside. Maybe this Korean guy works out instead? I'll be all over the GDT concerning this signing so get your ignore buttons ready.

I'd rather Oldhoe Koo.

That's not what was wrong with your post, and somewhere in your heart you know that.

Said no one at the Orchid on that fateful day*

*Finally lost my composure and surrendered to my inner 15 year old. It was a valiant, if ultimately doomed, stand.

Felger just said Nugent was 23/29 on XP's in 2016. Hasn't been signed by a team since. 13/30 from 50 plus.

What was Gost's issue this season? XP's.

We just signed Mike f&cking Nugent. I've wanted this guy in a Patriots uniform since 2008.

Knew it ... a Felgerite.

Where's the “we need/have a new kicker!“ party gone?

Anothet bad decision by BB. He has lost it...

I believe someone mentioned that, upon reflection, BB had wished the '07 Patriots had lost a game along the way. I think this is part of his master plan.

Who do you think they should have signed?

 

[Jlaff]

Before the hoe puns get further out of hand you should know he pronounces his name YUNG-WAY.

I still read Young-Hoe. Years of English education are hard to kick.

It’s nice to have a Buckeye on board besides Ebner. All hail sweaty Teddy Nugent.

BB should’ve given up a first rounder for Tyreek Hill to replace Gost

wrong...played 8 games in 2017 and 3 games in 2018 before going on IR with hip injury.
He's 7 out of 8 in post season FGs

I'm just waiting for the first bad Kraft joke

[Edit: I should know to finish reading the thread first, I should know better]

Remember allegedly BB wanted to trade Brady and keep Jimmy G but Kraft vetoed that idea as well.

Patriots fans despise Hill for the obvious reasons. Yet if he was a Patriot people would suddenly love him (See AB).
