Matt Stover on Tyler Loop; Just how big was that last missed kick?
This episode of the BMORE Football Podcast features host JC and The Baltimore Sun’s Mike Preston discussing the Ravens’ upcoming season and the broader NFL landscape.
Featured guest: Matt Stover — The Ravens’ legendary kicker joins the show for a 15–20 minute conversation.
Ravens vs. Colts preview: Baltimore opens the season in Indianapolis, marking the first season since 2007 without John Harbaugh on the Ravens’ sideline. The team is expected to be a playoff contender under new head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, though there are questions about how dramatically the new offense will differ.
Offensive line concerns: Jovaughn Greene is expected to make his first career start at center despite having only 11 offensive snaps since being drafted in 2023. Veteran Ethan Pocic, who has 97 career starts at center, remains unavailable while recovering from Achilles surgery.
Nnamdi Madubuike’s return: The Ravens have not indicated whether Madubuike will play in the opener after neck surgery and missing the final 15 games of last season. The expectation discussed is that he may debut in Week 2 against New Orleans instead.
Game prediction: The hosts expect the Ravens to beat the Colts, despite Indianapolis having home-field advantage. Concerns include Daniel Jones returning from injury and the Colts having limited offensive weapons beyond Jonathan Taylor.
NFL contenders: The discussion identifies the Rams, Chiefs, Bills, Seahawks, Ravens and potentially Patriots among the league’s top teams. The Rams are highlighted for adding Myles Garrett, while Aaron Donald’s return is also mentioned. Kansas City faces questions with Patrick Mahomes coming off an ACL injury, and Buffalo remains dangerous because of Josh Allen.
Questions about defending/repeating: The hosts are skeptical about Seattle repeating as champions, noting how difficult it is to win consecutive titles. They also question whether New England is truly elite after benefiting from a favorable regular-season schedule last year.
NFL bottom feeders: The teams identified as among the league’s worst are the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans.
Bottom line: The episode centers on optimism about the Ravens as a potential elite NFL team, while highlighting uncertainty around the coaching transition, center position, defensive injuries, and how quickly the new offense will develop.
