Bill Belichick weighs in on Justin Tucker’s struggles, explains why he would stick with Ravens All-Pro kicker

The Baltimore Ravens have a problem. Their All-Pro kicker, Justin Tucker, has been performing like anything but an All-Pro of late. Tucker missed three kicks on Sunday against the Eagles, including an extra point. There are a whole lot of people with a whole lot of theories about what’s going on with the guy who was the most accurate kicker in the history of the game until recently, and one of those people is none other than Bill Belichick.

“Obviously there’s something that’s a little bit off from a technique standpoint,” Belichick said during an appearance on the Let’s Go Podcast. “But I don’t see that there’s like a lack of talent. I think there’s something mechanically that he’s not doing consistently. If you have the key to unlock that problem, then probably everything could be great.

“But clearly this extends back even to last year a little bit, too, because there was some accuracy issues last year in the ’23 season as well as the current season. So I think Coach Harbaugh is doing the right thing. I would stick with Justin Tucker. This guy was the most accurate kicker in the history of football. He gets great height on the ball. He’s been super consistent. He’s obviously having a little bit of a rough patch right here, but it doesn’t look to me like his talent level has declined. There’s something mechanically that just isn’t quite right all the time. I think they just gotta work hard and try to find that.”
