Let me preface this by saying I really do like Billy Cundiff as the successor to longtime kicker Matt Stover.Cundiff was absolutely lights out last season, but has struggled some in 2011. The question now is, is Cundiff becoming a detriment to the Ravens? A couple weeks ago, the Ravens reported that Cundiff had a left calf injury. Cundiff did kick against the Indianapolis Colts and was successful on his field goal attempt. However, he is just 2-for-5 in the month of December and has nine misses this season, all on the road.If Cundiff’s calf is bothering him that much maybe it’s time to put Cundiff on injured reserve and sign Shayne Graham.We’ll see how this goes as we near the end of the season.
