Matt Stover Quotations

My time is usually five-, six-, seven-one-hundredths of a second slower, and, believe it or not, that makes a difference on a field-goal kick.

It gave me a little more time to feel the wind. Line up the putt, is what I call it. I just went out there and hit it like any extra point, and the ball was good enough and far enough.

It excites me as a veteran here to see that we didn't give up and we did enough to win the game.

The grass isn't very good there. It will take me back to my Cleveland days and the first part of my career here kicking on grass. The special-teams battle is going to be huge.

Technique-wise, I was in too fast on the ball,

Any time you miss a field goal, as a kicker, I look at it as a momentum changer and a turnover. I have got to take this on the chin. I have had a game like this before. I bounced back and that's what I plan on doing.

Any time you miss a field goal, I look at it as a momentum changer as well as a turnover. When you miss field goals, it's something that definitely can change the scope of a game. As you saw today, when you miss three, what it will do to you. It takes away momentum. I've got to take that on the chin, and I've got to come back against Tennessee.

I look at misses as a turnover and momentum changer. I apologize to the city of Baltimore for the performance.

The majority of the guys are happy he's back. I don't know of anyone that's not happy about it. Some people say that change for the sake of change new blood or a new voice is a good thing. I disagree. You have a guy that's taken you to a Super Bowl, and now it's just a matter getting us back.
