Oh and does anyone else notice the thing he does with his fingers is exactly what Matt Stover used to do?

Question is does he do that after every miss like Matt did? I can't tell since I haven't seen him miss yet.

Timestamp?

Edit: I think I found what you are talking about at around 3 min in. "I think he's doing a great job, and [b]we're gonna be really happy with him[/b]." Not sure if it means much though, it's just Koch's thoughts..

[raybaby]

I think the more telling thing was Koch talking about Tucker & performing [b]late[/b] in the season because the NFL season is longer than college. He was looking to the future with Tucker kicking.

My biggest concern is that if we do keep Billy, what happens to his mojo after that first miss and the stadium goes crazy with the boos. And you know the stadium will go crazy with them.
It may actually surpass the lynch mob we had when Elvis was 'leading' the team.

Seriosuly, that's an issue. Its now a headgame for Billy and the fans. Cincy parted ways with a formerly reliable kicker (Graham) under similar circumstances. A fresh start is good sometimes. The fans will be much more ready to forgive a regular season miss from JT at this point, IMHO. Post season? Not so much.

He didn't have much mojo to begin with.

I would be shocked if Cundiff isn't in the 1st round of cuts. I think the coaches have to say it's a tough decision. But IMO the decision has already been made and Tucker will be the new Ravens kicker. I think game 3 was Tucker's final audition and he passed easily.

HAHA!!

I sort of wonder if Reed was making fun of Cundiff when he made the kick. Maybe he was trying to show the coaches that almost any football player can make that kick. Lol, regardless I believe in this Tucker kid. I like him a lot. His attitude is very good. He seems to enjoy competition. In comparison it seems like Cundiff resents the competition and did not take it seriously.

Last year I was concerned when nobody competed with Cundiff. Sure, he just got that contract and was guaranteed to be the kicker but I was concerned he wouldn't take it as serious as the previous year. I don't know whether that is true or not but I was concerned about him at the end of the season. I will be happy if Tucker is our kicker because I dislike Billy's recent attitude. Now understand I actually was a fan of Cundiff's. I was mad at him when he missed the championship kick, but I could have forgiven him for it. After his recent comments and without any clarifiying comments to correct a possible misunderstanding I have lost much respect for him.

[/quote]This is unavoidable! Cantkick must go, if for no other reason than he simply CANNOT kick much over 40 yards, and dang sure cant do even a chip shot UNDER pressure. I totally beleive that the whole Raven Nation would feel MUCH better letting Cantkick go. Remember the faces of the Ravens Players on the sideline . . . I know my own face looked just like thiers. That was a very PAINFUL few minutes of shock & awe . . and sour bitter disappointment! I firmly beleive, if he stays, he will only let us down again . . maybe this time in the SB, we CANNOT have this BE a question! We need an answer, who knows, maybe Tucker is not the pure answer we are looking for & need, but he's young and hungery and CAN kick 50+ yarders, which I beleive we will need the coming years.

Scott Norwood, for the Bills, missed a SB winning FG and never recovered. He lost faith in himself, but the Bills kept him on, cause, well, he WAS good . . . until that miss. Then he broke. Cantkick is done, if we keep him, Tucker WILL get a job somewhere as soon as he's cut, Cantkick won't. 'nough Said. Peace, Ravens Nation
