Justin Tucker will be the greatest kicker ever if he continues his current path

If [Tucker] continues on this path, he'll be the greatest ever. I hate to say that cause I was pretty good, but... I think Justin Tucker is kicking around 90 like for his career. 92%? That's an insane number.

Tucker is widely considered the most accurate kicker in NFL history, though 'greatest' remains a subjective career-long debate.

The NFL will eventually see a 70-yard field goal in a game

We're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I think I feel like I set that two or three years ago... The 60 yard is like the new 50 and the 70 yards gonna be like the new 60.

Jaguars kicker Cam Little hit a 70-yard field goal in a preseason game (Aug 2025) and a 68-yard field goal in the regular season (Nov 2025, longest in NFL regular season history). However, the 70-yarder was in preseason and doesn't count in official NFL records, so technically a 70-yard field goal in an official game has not yet occurred.

NFL kickers are now expected to be 100% accurate inside 40 yards

I mean, I make 50, 40 yards and in. You make a hundred percent. You have to in the NFL, you cannot miss inside 40 yards ever.

While the expectation is high, kickers still miss inside 40 yards occasionally due to weather, blocks, or human error, though league-wide accuracy is at historic highs.

Kickers are struggling because NFL stadiums are too quiet without fans

No adversity. There's no dynamic. There's no, you know, you need a dynamic environment to excel... You should feel alive and not like you're a mouse in a laboratory.

Subjective sports psychology claim.

Kickers should have their teammates scream at them and insult their mothers during practice to simulate game pressure

You gotta tell your 80 teammates or whatever you have 50 now... they gotta yell and scream at you have six live kicks. Let's say doing practice. They got it. They got to talk about your mama. They got a whatever it takes they got to make it uncomfortable... That's as real as it gets.

A veteran insight into psychological conditioning that Andersen credit for his Hall of Fame career.

We will see a 70-yard field goal in the NFL this season

I think we're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I wouldn't be surprised if is this year... the way [Harrison] Butker hit that 58 that that had another 10 on it.

The longest field goal in the 2020 season was 60 yards. The NFL record (set later) is 66 yards.

The Atlanta Falcons are the world champions of losing

They [Falcons] are right now the world champions of losing. I just look into the curse to try to figure out what's going on there... the cursor courage is put on yourself by bad performance becomes habitual it becomes wedding just like losing is a habit.

Subjective, but the Falcons have continued to have a reputation for high-probability losses since this take.

Justin Tucker has the most swagger of any current NFL kicker

Out of all the kickers in the game right now, which one do you think has the most Morton Anderson in them? Swagger? I would say Justin Tucker in Baltimore.

Justin Tucker is widely regarded as one of the most confident and statistically greatest kickers ever.
