redsbengalsbucks Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Looks like Nugent is back on top of his game. He hit every FG in camp, even if they were uncontested and has a little bit more distance on his KO's than Rayner. I hope he can continue to look like his old self, it would be a blessing to have such a talented Kicker fall into the Bengals laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 From everything I've read to this point, it would appear that both kickers are having a great camp to this point. I think it was the official site that was talking about spliting the team between the kicker and if their kicker hit their FG, their practice was over. If not, they stayed on the field. So far, neither team has had to remain on the field.The one day Nugent had the long kick of the day of 46 and the next day Rayner followed with one from 50.Does that mean all of our kicking concerns no longer need to be worried about ?? No, but if the point is to put the ball through the uprights, we are at least getting that right now, as opposed to hearing about how they can't hit sh*t in practice. It's just good to hear at this point and I will take it and be happy.I would have to say that I'm kind of rooting for Nugent, but as long as we have a kicker that can be consistent, i'll be happy...

derekshank Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I read Nugent hit one from 54 as well just after Rayner came up a tad short.I selfishly hope Nugent wins the roster spot so I can keep my avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I was a bit (only a bit) alarmed that there was not one word about kickoffsI want to see touchbacks, balls hitting the ground deep in the endzone. I also want to see balls fall right at the zero yard line with plenty of hang time so that the much improved special teams unit can pin (or better yet, strip) the opponent deep in their own territory.On a related note, anyone know who made the first play of the 2005 season? I will say this - we kicked off, Browns received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently kicking to the goal line... not deep into the endzone. Rayner is not even making it to the goal line. So, you might be disappointed.

It's not like I don't care, but quite honestly I don't have a favorite in this one. In short, we needed fresh feet.....and either will do.
