Allegedly beat out? What kind of stupidity is this Jourdan? hahahaha

Best of luck to Forbath, get the feeling we'll move on to MacGinnis and a cut Forbath thread will be up during the bye or a week after.

I noticed this last night, also noticed last night I'm pretty sure not once did they start at or beyond the 25 yard line. Can only hope or coverage teams are as good for Forbath and his pathetic kick offs as they were for Sloman.

Honestly I'm not sure what to expect with Forbath. Gonna be the same thing with him tbh, waiting to see if he can at least establish some sort of baseline for his range.

I do like his history of 40-49 though. Generally that means he's got a good leg, but he's old too so who knows.

Well Dallas sucks and probably will look to move players. Legatron anyone?

Just as with Sloman I hope he's a good kicker and wins us games. But there's a reason he's been on so many teams and part of that is his inconsistent kicking especially a lack of range and bad kick offs. Two things that people hated from Sloman.

They only kept Solman over Lirim because they wasted a draft pick on him and now they are paying for it, every week. Why was Forbath inactive for this game?

I think because of that Covid 19 BS and I read he couldn't get to the Rams till Sunday,which only gave him a day .

Figured that last blocked kick was the last straw. Not saying I'm jumping up and down for Forbath. He will receive extreme scrutiny here. I never feel good about the kicking game. Too many things have to go right and just one wrong. I always cringe when we try any length kick. GZ used to be famous for missing the intermediate kicks early in his career. The worst place for them to tee it up for GZ for awhile seemed to be between a 36 to 40 yd kick. So good luck to Forbath or anybody else we may have to bring in. I'll still be biting my nails.

Press X to pay respects.

X lol.

I didn't mind him. Sucks for him but that's what happens when you miss fgs every game.

The vitriol against him was something else though. He's a kicker, none of them are perfect.

[Dz1]

Really No Surprise. Imho.

Plus there's going to be at least a couple highly rated kickers coming out next year.

 

[OldSchool]

Dude....really? Lol. I bet you're fun at parties.

LOL no matter how many times you point out the definition of nepotism he keeps up. I bet he's a blast to laugh at during parties

A sign of a good coach is not one who never makes mistakes, but one who is able to identify mistakes and do something about it.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

ROFL Kai Forbath has entered the chat and is laughing at you. This is a guy that's below 40% in his career for touchbacks SUB FORTY PERCENT!

Forbath has a job right now. Ol' Sloman can't say the same.

 

[Loyal]

I really hope Forbath works out because this crew is harder on kickers than NY sports fans on the Knicks...

This is LA. You wanna friend? Get an iguana....

 

[lordbannon]

If we think Kai Forbath is the answer.....look, I live pretty much in DC....he isn't. Not saying Sloman was.....but this reeks of making a change to be seen making a change.

I had no opinion of the outcome of the training camp battle, but I'd bet someone there was better.

Shit, toss Janikowski a couple bucks to kick indoors for a year and eat tacos. He's older than I am, but I'd bet he still has a leg....and still loves tacos. zuerlein wasnt innacurate enough to ditch him over what, a half a million bucks?

Has absolutely nothing to do with Forbath being good, sorry you think so. Has to do with Sloman not being able to hold down the job he had first.

Mistakes is pretty harsh, it wasnt a mistake. They didnt let Jason Tucker go for the guy for living sakes. But yes, its the Not For Long league and everyone has to earn their keep

 

[Angry Ram]

And the world keeps spinning...
