Re: Cundiff bitter... Carroll County Times says maybe?
I listened to 105.7 today, for the first time in awhile to get the local spin and the the afternoon guys, (Vinnie and ........), said no way Harbaugh and the staff goes with a rookie kicker. Their logic was; too much at risk to trust an unproven player.
I didn't get their logic if the known player is a bigger question mark, (statistically and with actual big game misses) To make it worse they agreed fans shouldn't feel bad for Tucker because his Ravens training camp performance will ensure him a spot on another team.
What am I missing? Will Tucker have a lower a FG percentage, make the Ravens take 50 plus yarders out of the playbook, might miss a kick that could have SB consequences; that's what Cundiff offers and somehow that less risk? I don't get it.

Re: Tucker hitting "extreme angle" field goals from "slidelines"
The thing that will decide who is the kicker is how does Billy do on the road because last yr all his misses came on the road so when we go to Stl that will be the test.

Re: Cundiff bitter... Carroll County Times says maybe?
No need to tell Cundiff he's in a real competition.
If Tucker's still on the roster after the first cutdown that will send the message loud & clear: You haven't shown us enough compared to this kid yet.
That's what you earn when you fold like a busted flush under pressure: More pressure.
And I'll tell you precisely when we'll know he's lost the competition: When he misses one & puts the blame on the snap or the hold or the field conditions. (I don't really expect that to happen in StL--dome after all--but ya never know.)

Re: Cundiff bitter... Carroll County Times says maybe?
If the Ravens cut Tucker or place him on the practice squad, he's as good as gone. Someone's going to pick him up quicker than roaches bolt when the lights turn on in the middle of the night..
Mark Zinno on 105.7 the Fan said he's never kicked with the pressure while playing in front of thousands of NFL fans But didn't he play in the S.E.C. in front of over 100,000 fans in Texas?
And what if Cundiff misses an easy FG, some fans (I am one of them) are going to be pissed! Give the kid a chance and know that he's going to miss a few, but that's OK, there are going to be growing pains...However, you never know, we may have our next Matt Stover

Re: Cundiff bitter... Carroll County Times says maybe?
Not to change the subject but did anyone see our old pal Haushka-sp
kick a FG for Seattle last night?
Pete Carroll was jumping up and down.
Is he the same Haushka that lost the Minn game a few years ago and we were all pissed. I think it was.
He beat out a hot shot kicker from Fla State. We all wanted him. His name was Graham, I think.
He ended up in Vegas in the World League and then then Zorn signed him for the Skins and he had a broken foot no one knew about.
Anyway, we got stuck with Billy.
