Ravens' Flacco thinks Tucker should tone down field-goal celebrations

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is known to have fun with his field-goal celebrations, but quarterback Joe Flacco thinks he may be overdoing it.

Flacco was forced to watch the Ravens' final six games from home after suffering a torn ACL, during which time he gained a whole new perspective on Tucker's ridiculous celebrations.

"You watch him on TV and he hits a 50-yarder and he acts like he just won the Super Bowl. It was the second quarter," Flacco said Thursday on Baltimore's 98 Rock, per BaltimoreRavens.com.

"He starts dancing and fist pumping and cursing. It's like, 'Dude, have a little bit of …' I don't even know what to say. You definitely want to go to him and be like, 'Tuck, you can't …'"

The station's hosts came to Tucker's defense, pointing out that he makes NFL kickers look cool.

"This is why he is the way he is," Flacco said with a laugh. "… Look at you guys!"

He did agree that Tucker is cool, though.

"He made himself, from the very beginning, a part of the team. That's just his personality," Flacco said.

"And he's a very confident guy, too. You say kickers aren't football players, but the amount of kicks that he's hit for us and the amount of games he's won for us or helped us win, you definitely have to consider him a football player, and he's definitely part of the group and one of the guys."
