Billy Cundiff’s miss in last year’s AFC championship means nothing to kicker Justin Tucker.

He needs a nickname.

He needs a nickname.

What about "Bad Mother Tucker"? Too risque?

[Valid1]

Nah, I like it.

[CosmicRedPanda]

Most people on the forums just call him "Clutch Tuck".

[Ravenz_Win]

What if we picked Billy over Tucker?... IM so glad we stuck with Tucker

[D3x3001]

Tucker has ice in his veins, the dude is money. I have the utmost confidence in him. He will be our next Matt Stover.

Just "do your job" .
So glad you "can be of service."

Prove to the nation, Tuck ...
That the Patriots really suck!!! LOL

It's not very original, but I usually call him J.T. when he's coming onto the field. As in "Alright, J.T., do your thing. Line it up, cross it out and straight through."

I'd shorten it to Mother Tucker.

It would so nice if shined while Gostkowski choked again... a true changing of the guard!

[NorwayLovesRavens]

Dismissed all thoughts of "Luck"
when we played the Wild Card game.

I'm rolling with ... Tuck!!!

[Woodhead]

Gostkowski has choked on a few this year. Tucker looks good, but I don't think this game will depend on field goals

[fusuymada]

I think it is not only that he makes the percentage he makes, it's how he makes them. They are not straight liners or like a wobbly duck. Each kick is plenty long, plenty high and from my point of view he is within the middle 50% of the goal post (except the New England kick and the 3 he missed) the majority of the time, and because his kicks come out consistent and on target, I don't feel like throwing up every time we kick a field goal this year.

For kickers - body language is telling. Last week, when Rice picked up that crucial 1st down, they showed the sideline and Tucker pumped his fist as he was warming up on the sidelines, so as to say, "yes, I'm going to get a shot at winning this thing."

Other kickers would take a deep breath, exhale as if to say, "oh man, it looks like I'm going to be called upon to win this thing."

Tuck is money. Considering he was kicking all training camp to win a job, hitting a 47 yarder is nothing to him. Thank God Cundiff didn't come out for the kick. If he had the Ravens would be sitting home.
