Breaking: Mike Nugent exits, no longer has a good job

[Hammer of Thor]

With Bailey kicking off already - can't see the downside of trying out Bryant.

Also saves a bit of roster space in the short term should they make a trade today. Can try out kickers and not actually sign anyone until Friday, giving the team a few days to determine injury status, etc. of the team.

The slow extra point did him in. I said right then he was done.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Well, by definition, that means you ARE surprised

Ha. Yea I guess so. Well, he wasn't great but I figured the operation was only going to improve and BB would be patient with it.

I guess not.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Bye Nuge ..............
Temporarily kickerless ..........

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Is Bryant still any good?

Nope

 

[Redman443]

Nope

better than Nougat

 

[203Pat]

Bye.

 

[Keyser Söze]

BUT IT WAS GOST WHO WAS THE PROBLEM! ANY KICKER CAN DO WHAT GOST DOES!

Gost was a problem...

 

[Kid~Brady]

All of this trade speculation and news is more entertaining than the Jets WHOLE season.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

better than Nougat

Not sure about that. Either way if games come down to kicks I will have a heart attack

The slow extra point did him in. I said right then he was done.

What did him in is his 62% kick rate and that an alternative became available.

Is Bryant still any good?

At this point in the season the proper question is: Is Bryant any worse?

 

[Redman443]

What did him in is his 62% kick rate and that an alternative became available.

Bill saw his chance to pounce as soon as the falcons released him.

Bill saw his chance to pounce as soon as the falcons released him.

Maybe Bryant finally gets his chance to kick that SB game winner he was preparing for in 2016.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Hit the nail on the head ... doing a good job.
It's the most we could ask for under the circumstances.
Also in bad weather - we have reason to think we can count on him.
Slightly injured ... we couldn't count on Ghost - they made the right decisions here.

You are clueless .........

 

[Deus Irae]

Gost was a problem...

Gost was a bit off, but still not a problem, in comparison to most other NFL kickers, as any look at those other kickers should have been enough to demonstrate to even the willfully blind. Spoiled children demanding perfection from kickers was a problem.

 

[JMC00]

Is Bryant still any good?

He's better than Nugent.

This season
7/8 from 0-49
3/6 from 50+
13/14 PA

I mean with Bryant you could probably feel ok about trying a 35+ FG with him until he proves otherwise.

 

[Angelpats]

Two point conversions here we come.

Wham bam sweet Bryant!
