Let's give it up for our boy Justin Tucker

[Coastergenius]

He basically has Stover's accuracy with Cundiff's power. It's nice to finally have somebody that can nail the long ones, but be reliable on a regular basis too. A kicker like Cundiff may have made more sense if the Kick-off wasn't moved to the 35 yard-line, but now that it is, pretty much anybody is good for a touchback on the majority of their kicks. It's funny to think that Cundiff set the touchback record the year BEFORE the ball was moved up to the 35.

I come to praise Tucker, not to bury him, BUT (Beau's big butt!)...

Am I seeing things, or have Tucker's kickoffs appeared to have lost a little steam this far into the season? Watching the Gints game, it seemed as if he almost shanked the initial KO, then got back on track, but each successive KO seemed like it had a bit less to it. I wondered at the time if maybe his leg was getting tired, or the wind was affecting things, but it seems as if his KOs are not going "deeper" into or through the end zone as they seemed to do earlier in the season. Is it the weather (colder air dampening the distance)? Just getting a bit of a tired leg this far into the season? Am I way off base here?

Don't forget temperature and air pressure later in the year. I think that factors into kickoffs.

As long as his field goal kicks stay straight and don't hook like the last kicker. he is doing a great job in his rookie year. St can't have it easy all yhe time, Gotta give Hamilton some tackles to help him make the defensive team. Hope he gets some action soon on defense. Tucker is a unsong heroe this year, his field goal give the team an edge for winning. Scoring 3 instead of 7 dissapoints some, but in a defensive battle, 3's add up.

He Cundiffed one, and almost Cundiffed a second one. Not a good way to enter the postseason, but he'll straighten out his kicks.

Great season and a great future, but you could make the argument that he lost that game though.

CRZ-
Yeah, I hear ya, but you could alsomake the argument that efforts like McKinnie's lost the game as well. Consider, too, that for the most part, the Ravens backups held their own pretty well against the Cincy starters (for the most part).

If the refs would have gotten that PI on Reed right, he would have never been in that position.
