Matt Stover

Matt Stover is Mr. Clutch, but lets face it, the leg isn't going to get any stronger. His kickoffs are just not long enough. Plus, I am only comfortable when he's kicking from less than 40 yards away. Apparently this new kid is pretty accurate even in long field goal attempts. Is he a keeper?

The Ravens always bring in one or two guys who "looks great" and could possibly "supplant Stover in the future". I'm not naive, I know Stover won't last forever, but at the same time I'm not going to get excited over one of those guys

supposedly Czech was looking really good in all the OTAs but we'll see as berad said.

Is E.J. Cochrane still on the roster too?

Why pick at the one constant on our team. Honestly he doesn't have the strongest leg but even over 40 yards his average isn't much lower than anyone else's.

On fantasy last year he was ranked number 10, but you also have to realize the 9 guys ahead of him all had way more extra point attempts than him thanks to their teams scoring.

He won't last forever and honestly I think it would be best to have him doing only what he is best at like we did our Super Bowl year but then we had three kickers all doing what they were best at.

I'm optimistic about Czech, but I'm also still confident in Matt Stover. However, we all know and agree that he isn't getting any younger.

Stover will kick until hes 60. Well he won't but I think he has a few more seasons in him. I would like to see another long range kicker though.

i just want someone else to handle kickoffs and possibly long field goal attempts. i think we need someone who can push the opponent's returner back to the end zone.

Matt Stover has been great for the Ravens but at this point it is over for Matt Stover! He has been kicking for a long time but his kick off's do not have enough distance and he can no longer kick the long field goals. Prime example, last year I'm down in MIAMI having a good time Matt Stover comes out to kick the winning field goal and missed what should have been a easy one for Matt stover. I have a lot of respect for Stover but I think it is over>

Stover is fine... Sam Koch should be working on kick-offs to save Stover's leg and keep that roster spot open so we don't have to waste it on a kick-off specialist.
