Bleeds Orange Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Did anyone else find it strange that they let the clock run down without trying to run a play or two to get Nugent closer? They had (I think) two timeouts left and a 42-yarder is no sure thing. Dalton and some of the other guys were hand-slapping and happy, as if there was no doubt he was going to make it. The whole scene made me very uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have to say, Clark Harris has really been a great addition. I really don't recall a bad snap since he's been here. Brad St Louis was that way for a long time, until he caught the yips... And then it was really painful for awhile. Not discounting what Nugent has done, since he's been spot-on... but having the continuity of a snapper, holder and kicker has helped a lot.

With that much time AND timeout's you would think you would get it closer regardless of who the kicker is as opposed to running down like 30 secs.

I thought it was a little odd, but they were also already well in FG range and nugent had the wind at his back besides. They probably feared Benson getting stopped for a loss on an obvious running play and making it a longer FG attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 [b] [b][size=6]Nugent: 'We need to remember this feeling'[/size][/b][/b] [b] [b][size=6]Kicker caps comeback for team he cheered as a child[/size][/b][/b] Mike Nugent was a big Bengals fan growing up in Centerville. Kicking a 43-yard field goal Sunday as time expired to give the Bengals a 23-20 come-from-behind victory against Buffalo held a little more meaning to him. “It’s a very good feeling, and not just for the obvious,” said Nugent. “But to do it for your team – and when I say your team I mean I grew up a die-hard Bengals fan. I’ve been coming to games my whole life and I’ve watched guys like Jim Breech do it all of the time. It’s one of those things where we need to remember this feeling and bring it into next week.” Nugent’s kick was his first game-winner in the final two minutes or overtime as a Bengal but the fourth of his career. The last time the Bengals won a game on a final kick as time expired in regulation was Dec. 11, 2005, against Cleveland. The final of that game was also 23-20. Nugent missed the final seven games of last season with a torn ACL but made 15-of-19 attempts. He has made 11 consecutive field goals going back to last season, including all 10 of his attempts this season. He made three field goals against Buffalo; his others were from 31 and 21 yards. Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton led the offense 56 yards in seven plays to reach the Buffalo 25-yard line with just under 30 seconds remaining. The Bengals didn’t take another snap, instead letting the clock run down to four seconds before calling timeout. Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey called timeout before Nugent could attempt the field goal. Nugent went back over to the sideline, took a kick into the net and then headed back out when referee Gene Steratore blew his whistle. “It happened to me once where I assumed a team was going to call a timeout and they didn’t. I still hit it but it’s one of those things where I can’t ever assume they’re going to call time out,” said Nugent. “When you go out to kick a field goal you’re not out there for a minute waiting. It’s like a free throw; you’re not going to stand out there for a minute during a timeout. I’m just going to keep my routine.” (Click the link for the entire article) http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20111002/SPT02/310020037/Nugent-We-need-remember-feeling-?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a chipshot in those weather conditions. One thing I have to ask is, where the hell was Leonard 2 weeks ago? We're 3-1 if leonard busted one of those runs @ Denver.

Nati Ice Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Nugent should be commended for his consistency. You can't expect to win close games or have a shot at the playoffs without a kicker of his caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still 1st down, so if there was a bad snap, they could have fallen on the ball and tried it again. I guess they have confidence in the snapper and holder though...

Nickslycat Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm just curious, why did the Jets cut Nugent? He was the best kicker if college, did he totally suck with the Jets. I think he was early first rounder, if I remember correctly. He just seems so good that why would a team give up on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
