"Seemed to indicate" is about as cautious a statement as can be.

Fine by me...keeps the 37 year old kicker's leg fresh....

Yeah, a lot of innocuous comments could "seem to indicate" something.

That said, I don't think this would really surprise anyone if true. Kids got a Grond for a leg.

Well this is Mike 'Shinebox' Giardi as the source we are talking about. Outside of his desire to polish Jimmy G's knob it's probably about as definitive as he gets

Think Kyed shared some stats on twitter today that would point to this as well.

Nugent's touchback rate wasn't "very good" last time he was kicking off.

 

[NashuaPats]

Bailey has a powerful leg. I hope he kicks off just out of curiosity.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Bailey at practice today..

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Jake can kick over a lake like a piece of cake

 

[Sicilian]

When Bailey was in high school he could kick a ball a quarter mile.

 

[Froob]

I hear Bailey can punt a ball over them mountains

 

[RobertWeathers]

Only other punter in NEP history who had a cannon for a leg like Bailey was Rich Camarillo

As long as Nugent hits PATs and 39 Yard FG, we should be ok.

Yup. IIRC his first punt (regular season) traveled ~70 yards, and was returned for a TD.

That is what they call, "Outkicking his coverage"

I heard he could kick the football over them mountains.

Part of why he was drafted ...
Belichick knew Ghost was on borrowed time ......
