steve hauschka 21% and 75% think matt stover will be the kicker. >> stan: matt is confident. >> gerry: troy smith connecting with harper for the first. graham gano as the long shot. we'll see if he gets anyshots. we watch gano warming up, you think he may get one field goal try if the opportunity presents itself. troy smith to the near side. the 45 yard-line. troy smith starting to move the ball. this pre-season has been somewhat lopsided into tonight as hauschka isn't perfect. after he missed a 27-yarder tont you wonder if john harbaugh is as confident as earlier tier tonight. john harbaugh knows if you bring stover back you need a kickoff specialist. jalen parmele shy. you have to think you keep one of the young guys around because matt stover no longer has the leg strength for kicking them off. that's where this becomes a question mark. if you use stover, that's two roster spots to kicker. >> stan: that's why john, the roster spot is special teams player. >> gerry: in panthers territory before captain munnerlyn can take him off the feet. 9.30 minute left to play. >> stan: everybody

but matt stover is still out there. john harbaugh knows it. >> and yes, we're prepared to go with one of the two guys we have now. >> we don't know, you know. we're hopeful, and i think it's fair to say and i think everybody that is a ravens fan should be hopeful that one of the two guys can do it. >> he is a legend around here. you can't say enough about what he has done. i think they want somebody else to come in and do it all. but if they don't feel confident with that, they'll have to go back. but i'm hoping to show it can i do it full time. >> the ravens have plenty of depth in the defensive backfield. they don't know how much talent they have, but plenty of numbers. frank walker is a guy still fighting for a spot. he had an awful game monday, getting burned for a touchdown early in the third quarter. david beat him right off the line walker, who loves to talk says he has heard about it in the meetings. >> i got roasted in the meetings today by the guys. that's definitely what wary going to do to each other. somebo

matt stover was more than just a kicker in his 13 years with the ravens.of the time he was their offense. now, for the first time since the browns came to baltimore, the team doesn't know who will put the ball through the upright. ravens have two kickers in camp. one was a specialist last year and made one of two field goal tries from beyond 50 yards. the other a rookie from florida and 2008 recipient of an award for best kicker in college football. john harbaugh is impressed with both. but not going to rush the decision. >> september 13 is the deadline. you know, have to have a kicker by then. the criteria is whoever kicks the best. not complicated. the game situation are the most important part of it. kickoffs factor in. how stats factor in. but the bottom line is, you know, who we feel best about. some of it will be a gut. because these guys are good. whichever guy we feel best is the guy. or neither of them will be the guy. that's kind of -- not real defined that way. but go with whoever is best. >> o's are in a rough second half of the be season. bird

he probably learned that their from matt stover. he wouldn't kick it like a 50- yard field goal.use the different irons. >> gerry: that caps off the scoring drive as the ravens mark nine lays, 46 yards. steve hauschka has to be feeling much better about his future after punching a field goal. >> a punter has to learn it's not about distance, it's burial about accuracy. coming to the near sideline. goodson will take it at the 8. he'll be stopped by k.j. garrard. (announcer on call) ...he throws it across the field. he's got something! 30...40...50...he's got it! 40! he's got it! 20...10...he's got it! 5!...endzone! touch down! there are no flags on the field! it's a miracle! (announcer) that's what greatness tastes like. triple hops brewed. great pilsner taste. miller lite. taste greatness. ?w >> gerry: 17-3 the ravens lead. >> ed, first question. last pran you had the neck injury. thuse feeling? >> it's still sore. i'm playing through it. it's going to be there. i just try to protect it as much as possible. >> are you aphencive as far as the physical game. as far as coming up in

second-year kicker steve howska and rookie graham ganeau are fighting for the spot left vacant by matt stoverhowska hay be edging out his opponent. he head made every field goal but gouneau missed two including a 46-yarder against the jets. heading into tomorrow's game carolina though, harbaugh won't say who has the edge. >> we don't know, you know. we are hopeful and i think it is fair to say and everybody who is a ravens fan should be hopeful that one of these two guys can do it, because if one of these two guys can do it one more player we can keep. you go through the names and see who that guy will be. a good young player you don't and a guy that can help uses a special teams development whatever. at the same time we will not keep that player and jeopardize our chance to win games with the kicking foundation. and matt could get signed between then. you are walking a fine line and it is getting tight and something we hopefully can balance and make the right decision on. >>> elsewhere, brandon marshal has been suspended indefinitely by his own team. the denver broncos decided to sideline th
