Pressure field goals
This morning's practice was punctuated by a Matt Stover field goal that bounced up a short bank at McDaniel College and into the back of Derrick Mason's Maserati. The kick was just a 20-yarder and Stover made it with ease. But when Mason saw the the ball hit, he moved to the sideline and feigned anger.
"Hey, Stover, [if] my car's messed up, you're paying for it," Mason yelled.
One of the ball boys missed a chance to catch the ball at the bank; he went over to Mason and apologized for the miss.
"Don't worry about it," Mason told him. "[Stover] has enough money."
The car was not damaged.
Comments
Is Stover at risk for getting cut in Favor of the Rookie who seems to be showing well?
Stover Cannot kick for ever, and he cannot hit the long one anymore, but he is really accurate from mid to short range. He is The only Brown left. Will we keep two kickers?
Is the Rookie good enough to send stover packing?
Pressure kicks are hard to get in Preseason. Maybe the rookie will choke under presssure.

To Veteran Kickers (Stover) get any respect? or
Would the Ravens cut him like just some kicker and move on?
Other than QB, what are other position battles? They seem under the radar if there are any.
