The Baltimore Ravens announced they have released kicker Justin Tucker. Below are the reactions from the Baltimore Beatdown staff.
Early in my writing career, I grew a fascination for special teams; it became my specialty. I adored writing about the most accurate kickers in NFL history. It became my annual pre-season tradition. Lengthy hours poured into tracking every field goal attempt by the NFL’s most-accurate. It felt great highlighting kicking as a whole, and to shine a light on the greatness of Tucker. After all, he was a Raven.
For the past three months — and for the rest of my days — I’ll feel tainted by trumpeting Tucker’s on-field greatness.
