Pats new kicker is Mike Nugent

[Mack Herron]

Just putting it into context. This years kick off coverage has been solid. A couple of years ago it was atrocious.

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

 

[Scotty]

Heard he won the kicking competition hands down.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Better signing than Ted Nugent. Well unless he's going to sign Cat Scratch Fever live while he plays

 

[Froob]

Was talking to Kenneth Simms earlier and he had an interesting thought that maybe they want Younghoe to compete for the job and possibly play this weekend. Wouldn’t be surprised if they think Younghoe may be our kicker of the future.

 

[luuked]

Would not be surprised if Nugent is gone at the latest after the Giants game and Koo takes over afterwards. Makes sense to go with a veteran with a lot of experience with 2 games in the next 7 days while continuing to evaluate the high upside guy on PS.

If nothing else, it shows that they're not all in on Nugent. My guess is Nugent is more game ready as a seasoned vet, so they want him for this weekend on short notice, but Younghoe has a legit shot to win the job with a few good weeks of practice.

Stat! In the first four games, Gost missed more PATs than he has in any season in his career.

 

[Biffins]

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

Nah. Cutting AB was the only one.

 

[maust]

Nah. Cutting AB was the only one.

And just like that yet another thread goes...

 

[PatsFanSince74]

well, he has made 17 of 20 kicks last 2 years.

So, he's well-rested!

 

[Wax Frog]

My brain's earworm module thanks you!

 

[Wax Frog]

You got it.

I'm just waiting for the first bad Kraft joke

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

 

[turkeyneck]

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

 

[venecol]

young hoe needs practice.

This is further proof of a rift between BB and Kraft. BB hires Younghoe knowing fully well Kraft prefers Old hoes.

Can you see the announcers laughing their butts off as they announce "Younghoe, who is from Korea comes in to handle..." as the camera pans to Kraft!

Wonder if this was why Richards was brought in.

 

[Mack Herron]

Wonder if this was why Richards was brought in.

Highly likely. He plays Burkhead’s position on coverage and Burkhead is hurt. See if he plays STs Sunday.

Same difference since Kraft, who goes by Juan-Hung-Lo in So FL, likes the OLD-WAY.

 

[rochrist]

Good enough for now. They've got the other guys in the rolodex if this doesn't work out. Not going to be a weapon by any means, but hopefully can chip in the easy ones so long as Brady gets them in the red zone.

Well, he misses plenty of XPs so everyone will feel right at home.

 

[Biffins]

And just like that yet another thread goes...

I thought it was funny!

 

[FCB02062]

I'm guessing this changes play calling drastically... iirc, when they brought in Shayne Graham years ago he didn't attempt any long fg
