Justin Tucker

[flaccopoe]

And he's a kicker. It's crazy to think that a kicker is one of the most liked guys out there.

The new Janikowski.

[Gordo52]

Has any other kicker ever hit the cycle?

Not sure. I know that's what Stuart Scott said

[Ravensfan23]

who else was ready to completely turn on harbs when it looked like we were goin for it on 4th? oh my god i think harbaugh heard me screaming from pasadena on that one. i just knew tuck would bang the 61 yarder and i thought going for it on 4th would have sealed our fate as a super bowl hangover victim. thank god harbs called that timeout

 

Joe said coming off the field Harbs asked him if he wanted to go for it and Joe said no, let Tucker do his thing.

I was talking about it during the game, that was a tough call.  Go for it or kick a long FG. 

 

I really think the Lions made up John's mind for him.  They let us run the clock down. If they called a TO, I think we would've gone for it.  I didn't like our chances going for it.

and Joe was sipping some Gatorade during the kick; that shows how confident he is about Tucker's game winning FG........

I think John believes Tucker can air it out with his leg in a dome; from the sideline brief camera view, John wanted to confirm on the call kick or go for it cuz he didn't want to rush......

Yeah right. I think you meant to say 205. LMAO!

You don't know me.... ha!

Yea I mentioned in the Elam thread how when everyone was cheering the kick and apparent win, Flacco was pulling Elam up and telling him something. I wonder if he was telling the rookie to stay focused and finish.

i like to hear that, i guess everyone in the world had faith in tuck and harbs left it to joe decide. if thats true, then that is awesome.

Yeah, you're right.  305 into the woods?    just kiddin' Tiger.

 

 

55 degrees Friday. Queenstown, River.  I'll be there.

[flaccopoe]

Vote this man into the Pro Bowl!

[frozen joe flacco fan]

So, my daughter who's a Redskin diehard says to forgettabout Flacco and pay Tucker 94 million after tonight's kicking expo. I disagree but I had to laugh.

[Purple City Bird Gang]

Stover can say goodbye to his record!

[NFLfan123]

LOL
This was on his Wikipedia page LMAO

"Nonetheless, the Ravens went on to win the game, giving Tucker his first Super Bowl ring. After the game Tucker went home and slept with many women hypnotoads, being second man in the world to have the legendary tensome. Barney Stintson being the other tensome legend."

[T3hRaven]

He missed two in the first Cleveland game.

[ChrisMPark]

Justin Tucker is the first kicker in NFL History (already!!) to make a field goal in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and the 60's! We love you Legatron!

[beanfigger]

Loser. We should have just cut him right then and there.

[T3hRaven]

He can't be called Legatron.  I believe Greg Zuerlein has that name taken already.

[supaB]

He needs to step down and pick up his old "Greg the Leg"

Unrelated but that lost me a FF game, which ultimately made me miss playoffs by 1 game in which I would've won lol

[T3hRaven]

Probably a good thing he's missed some.  Don't want to have the whole Gary Anderson 1999 NFC Championship Game situation.

[HaX]

can we rename this to Legatron?

[Inqui]

Point. I dunno how many of Gary's kicks were for the win that year, but at least we all know Justin doesn't get phased by pressure.

 

I remember reading someone saying they preferred nerve over raw leg power in a kicker, and I Cund can certainly see where they're coming from.

For the record though, JT's leg is 'bigger' than Cundiff's.  Cundiff maxes out around 55, JT just hit from 61 without the help of the wind on a kick he kinda didn't hit that well that popped up on him.  He's the whole package, when he's up for a contract I have no problem making him the highest paid kicker in the league.  Of course kicker's don't make enough to really affect us signing guys, so it's not a big deal.

Yeah, I get that. More than anything, it was a dig at Cundiff in crunch time.

 

And I agree fully on maxing out his contract when the time comes. Bloated nothing - we've found our Stover replacement and those guys clearly don't grow on trees.

What's odd about that is Hauschka hasn't been a bum in Seattle like he was here.
