[BR News]

Think it strange that Koch is a Ravens lifer, whereas Reed wasn't. Makes you appreciate him all the more. Thank you Sam Koch, the best punter the Ravens have had.

[CQ1]

Its actually a win-win-win (For Sam, the Ravens, AND the fan base)!

Lets spread a rumour and say he is the son of NYC former mayor Ed Koch

[HayintheBarn]

It also keeps him as the holder in the kicking game, a position that goes entirely unnoticed until someone screws up there.

Good news...

We have had some really good punters here in Baltimore I am glad Sam Koch will be around for a while longer Raven 4 Life!!!!

Yep - and the same goes for the long snapper. Cox is solid and hope he stays healthy. Now, let's lock up the other member of the wolfpack.

I am glad we are taking care of our own that want to be taken care of. I now hope Yanda, Tucker and K.O asked their agents to work with Pat Moriarty so he can take care of them as well and keep our own happy and Ravens.

I know it's slow season and stories have to be told, but please don't jinx any players by commenting on how they are Iron Men !

Especially Flacco !

Thank you.....

lets not forget he can also fill in as a field goal kicker in a pinch.

Great signing. Sam is a major key to ST. Now lets get JT signed long term. Justin is one of the best if not the best kicker in the NFL.

[slowboater]

Let's see.... approximately $10M after taxes... Yes, I would be comfortable with that. Thanks, Sam.

Thank you.....

But you just did!

Sam Koch is an unsung hero in my book. Though out the years he has had many great punt results and is a great asset to the Ravens. Thank you Sam Koch for job well done!

[Dorota]

That's not a win just for Koch, but also for the Ravens. He's a great player, as you mentioned - durable and loyal. Special teams often go under-appreciated, but excelling in special plays can take you places. Like the Super Bowl. Go Wolfpack!

[Dorota]

He can? Good to know! It's great to have multitalented players. Just in case.

[stevenap]

Koch in the ring of honor?

[#20=DA MAN!!]

actually its a win-win-win-win, for Sam, Ravens, fan base, and the WolfPack!!!

[lateman]

The safety he took in the Superbowl where he deftly managed to steal a few more seconds from the clock is one of the most brilliant unsung plays from that season. May not have won the SB without his quick thinking. Glad he's back. Go Wolfpack!

[January J]

You do realize that the coaches made the decision to take the safety, it wasn't him. You are giving him way too much credit late guy.

yes but he executed it beautifully, and with how much was ridin on that play he gets a ton of credit in my book.

[blindbat]

Jimmy Smith And Sam Koch are perfect examples that Baltimore is the best team in the NFL they both got extensions with the Ravens instead of looking for a big payday like so many other players do that shows how great of a Team the Ravens have become a world class organization.

[smalljaws]

Considering special teams make up a third of the game this is a good signing.
