Why did the Ravens release this guy? Inside the 50 this guy seems money.

He's been under 80% between 30-39 yards for the last four years; granted that's better than Gano, but it isn't exactly money.

However, I agree that this change alone will translate into more wins. I'd rather have Gano than Cundiff kicking a 50 yarder in OT, but with Cudiff the game is less likely to go into overtime in the first place.

You also have to wonder what it does for an offense when they have faith in their kicker to put through a routine kick; one would imagine that it takes a little pressure of the offense knowing that when they have the ball in opposing territory, they don't have to be flawless to come away with points.
