vmax Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) He's not just good.He's outstanding. Tucker has made 89.6 percent of his kicks in his career, or 163 of 182. Bailey's conversion rate dropped to 89.4 percent (169-of-189).One big difference between the kickers is that Tucker plays in tougher weather conditions in an outdoor stadium in Baltimore, while Bailey has the advantage of kicking inside for home games.This has been quite a tear for Tucker recently. Since December 2015, he has connected on 38 of 39 kicks for an amazing 97.4 percent success rate.He has certainly earned the title of most accurate kicker by the distance of his kicks. On Sunday, Tucker tied an NFL record with his 10th kick from 50 yards and beyond. The rest of the NFL's kickers entered Sunday 61-of-118 (51.7 percent) on such kicks, according to ESPN Stats & Information research....http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/32601/justin-tucker-takes-over-title-of-most-accurate-kicker-in-nfl-history The situation: Fourth-and-6 from the Philadelphia 35-yard line, with the Ravens leading 10-3 and two minutes left in the first quarter.The play: Justin Tucker drills a 53-yard field goal in the rain and swirling winds. It marks his 10th field goal of 50 yards or beyond this season, which ties the NFL record set by Blair Walsh in 2012. Tucker is now 10-of-10 from that distance. Difference in a game the Ravens tried to give away. and...he continues to work hard at making this a better world to live in... "Throughout the year, we've been talking about around the locker room how it is annoying to see people Dabbing all the time," Tucker said. "So, if we're going to make an effort at completely killing the Dab, I figured I'd be the guy to do it. More than anything, I've done the world a great service by killing the Dab."

tsylvester Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 His only miss was not a true miss, they need to adjust how the score that play. It is one thing to kick the ball low and have it blocked at the los, quite another to have it bkocked right off his foot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Just like picks that a WR pops up or falls down on should not be on the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
