vmax Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 He has to make a 47 yard FG in minus 3 degree weather, in the biggest game of his life..with a hostile crowd.....a game where his team mates spent everything they had to get him in position to kick.... and dig what he says about it... Tucker was making them from 67 yards in pre-game warmups and was practicing during the break between overtime periods."I always feel good when I go out on the field," he said. " Not many people get to do this. This is a heck of a lot of fun."http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/recap/NFL_20130112_BAL@DEN/ravens-edge-broncos-in-2ot-on-tuckers-47yard-field-goal
OutsideRzAcE Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I just knew he was going to miss that kick. I can't believe the balls Caldwell and Harbs had to not go for more yards.
Spen Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I just knew he was going to miss that kick. I can't believe the balls Caldwell and Harbs had to not go for more yards. Lol it was close enough I was watching the refs.
OutsideRzAcE Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Did anyone else wonder why Tucker's kickoffs were short in this game? He kick's his fair share of kickoffs out of the endzone on a regular field so I would assume with Denver's thin air he would have had a lot more unreturnable kicks. I guess the cold neutralized the thin air?

OutsideRzAcE Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Yea I suppose except that the cold didn't seem to affect Koch's punts (outside of 1) or the Denver kicker's kickoffs.
thundercleetz Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I loved the gamesmanship Tucker showed coming out on the field and kicker a practice FG with the trainer at the end of the first OT. He kicked it right in front of the vet Champ Bailey, who was not happy and complained to the ref. The ref then told Tuck he wasn't allowed to do that and Tuck shrugged him off. After the game Michael Perriera confirmed kickers are not allowed to do that but it is not a penalty. I am sure there will be a new "J-Tuck" rule for kickers after that. I love it! This rookie has ice in his veins!
vmax Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 As much as I love Stover...he would never have made that kick.
