Clockwork Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 If TD would like to upgrade the position, Reed is available. If he can't decide whether to use his second round pick on Nugent (which I personally think is crazy), this would be a good option. Young, cheap and consistant. Thought?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 You know, I may got shot for saying this...but whats the harm in bringing Steve Christie back? *ducks*

Thought? 260623[/snapback] Why not a 2nd round for Nugent? He could be here for the next 12 years and we all know the Bills need a kicker, but honestly I think he will be gone by the time we pick in the 2nd round. Nobody is a sure thing but he is pretty Damn Good!

Clockwork Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 You know, I may got shot for saying this...but whats the harm in bringing Steve Christie back? *ducks* 260637[/snapback] I agree with you. Even at his age, he is still worth a look to fill a hole for a year. Plus, he used to come into the restraunt I worked at in Williamsville all the time, and he was a class act.
Clockwork Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 I believe he is restricted, would need to give up icks to get him , again, only think that is right 260643[/snapback] He is restricted. My bad. Jay Feely from Atlanta is available. Something there? I know Nugent is something special, but a 2nd round pick? As far as I am concerned, a kicker or punter shouldnt really be drafted. It seems like a waste of a pick for a "specialist" who plays so little.
Clockwork Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 Did Someone say Ted Nugent??? 260660[/snapback] And now lining up for a 44 yarder, a man with a loincloth and a bow and arrow? Think of it - if he has the aim to hunt deer several yards away, just think of his kick accuracy!
Bills 12 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Did Someone say Ted Nugent??? 260660[/snapback] That's Uncle Ted.
The Tomcat Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I believe he has taken ill with cat scratch fever.
bills_fan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 After the way TD treated Christie, Steve may not want to play here. And frankly, I don't blame him.

BillsNYC Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 ugh...just looking at Lindell's stats. Looks like that miss in the Steelers game was the only one from that range all season. UGH...had to be THAT kick!
USMCBillsFan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I say we take Nugent. People underestimate IMO the value of a great kicker. I say if he's available in the second, take him...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 It all depends on what we do with the rest of the offseason. If we manage to get an LT and LG, then I say we should definitely pick up Nugent if he's there in the 2nd round. However, I'm guessing the best we can do is pick up a Tackle, so what we may have to do is draft a guard in the 2nd round to compete with Tucker.
soljc Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I want to dump Lindell as much as anyone else, but we have much more serious concerns before a kicker, including OL (both starting and bench guys), a CB if we can't resign Nate, an LB if we can't resign London, etc., so a kicker is not a top priority IMO. Certainly not worth our 2nd round pick.

Certainly not worth our 2nd round pick. 261064[/snapback] I disagree, past our O-Line, kicker is the most important area of upgrade. If we go into next season with Lindell, we will lose more games because of his inability to kick consistently. Honestly, if we could just bring in a veteran to compete in training camp, I'd be content. But we cant let Lindell have the job by default.
USMCBillsFan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 All of you that say a kicker isn't as important will be pissed when LinHELL is missing field goals this year....
WillisMcThrillis Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 There is no way this team picks a kicker in the second round without a first round draft choice and six UFA's on the roster next season. Nugent is good, but TD isnt that stupid or desperate.
