Whenever I see Mahomes do a commercial I remember this is a guy who managed to gain 819 yards of offense in a non-overtime college game...and still lost.

That was a fun game. I think it was over 110 or 120 points and the game took like 9 hours.

How Justin Tucker Became the Greatest Kicker in N.F.L. History https://nyti.ms/3KvwhuN Nice write up by the NYT. The confidence, persistence, and all-out obsession required to play the least under

Who cares? It’s an ad. And the State Farm ones are at times funny.

Good for them getting theirs. I’m glad the kid from Tyler Texas is killing it. bEast Texas baby.

Come on man ...There hasn't been a state farm ad that is remotely funny.

My God jackson has such a punchable face..

Yeah, Jackson and the wife are basically white trash. Harsh, but true. But the KC crowd is riding the Mahomes wave so they don't want to upset that boat. 

They seem to have stayed out of the news better this year than last year.

Good thing Taylor has been around to soak up the media attention.

The NFL's new kickoff rule has altered the workout routine for the league's most accurate kicker.

Justin Tucker said he has noticed that XFL kickers have been involved in 25% of the tackles with the revamped kickoff play, which has led him to add a few pounds.

"This might be really surprising to a lot of you guys and a lot of my teammates because I don't hang out in the weight room too frequently," Tucker said after the Baltimore Ravens' offseason practice Thursday. "Now I got to get some more shrugs, get the traps going a little bit, just to make sure I'm prepared for a little bit more contact."

Asked whether he plans to add more muscle, Tucker said, "I have put on, like, 3.8 pounds. Can you guys tell? Probably not. But yeah, I'll leave it at that."

In March, NFL owners approved the massive change in kickoffs with a vote of 29-3. Under the new rule, which originated in the XFL, kickers will continue to kick from their own 35-yard line but the other 10 players on the kickoff team will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line, which is 5 yards from the return team. The kickers will represent the last line of defense. 

Tucker, a seven-time Pro Bowl kicker, has made eight tackles in 195 games. His most recent tackle came Dec. 17, 2022.

Awesome. My favorite quote:

"Hell yeah, I want to be out there," Tucker said. "At the same time, in fairness to the idea that a safety or a linebacker or somebody that has a little bit more training as a coverage athlete, as a tackler, yeah, I think it's totally fair to turn over every stone and see what you got. Who knows? There might be a guy that can pinpoint drop the ball off the tee on the 5-yard line and then just go down there and smoke the ball carrier. I'd like to think I would be that guy."

Yeah, Father Time comes for all men at some point.

It's strange, 35 doesn't seem particularly old for a kicker. Some of the good ones kick into their 40's. Wonder if he has a nagging injury of some sort that can unfuck itself over the off-season. He's been so good, I would hate to see him go out on a shitty season like this.

Kickers can fall of a cliff in the blink of an eye. Dan Bailey and Mike Vanderjagt are 2 of the biggest examples. Vanderjagt was considered one of the most accurate in history. I believe he shanked a would be tying FG with no time left on the clock in a playoff game and never was the same after. Think he ended up in Dallas shortly after.

How much leash can Baltimore afford to give a kicker, even the unquestionably best one of all time?

It's not like there are a ton of great kickers just sitting around that would be better, even if Tucker continues to struggle.  The only possible thing they could do is not take quite so many long field goal attempts, as those are generally the ones Tucker has been struggling with.

Distracted that someone else was scoring against A&M for the first time in 13 years?
