Havrisik Keep him or Dump him?

[Tron]

Very strange for Holmes to do this it seems. Lions fans talk about him being good but shit from 50+ yet it seems in his short career he's 3-6 from 50+. Maybe they just wouldn't try him much from distance because of a weak leg? It all seems strange.

Maybe Snead called him up and asked for a favor, knowing a kicker would clear waivers most likely. Good close ties to have if that's the case.

Or I'm horribly reading it wrong and just strange turn of events with no impact on the rams.

Either way… seems like if he’s available & Luc has another shaky game, that would be the best option.

I think if he’s available, he’s our new kicker. The Rams don’t have time for another shaky game.

 

[dieterbrock]

Well, if the Rams are interested, they should claim him of waivers because if he clears waivers he would surely be put on Detroit's PS and would need to be signed to a 53 man anyways...

Yeah, from Lions message board sounds like he might have a relatively weak leg. But at 88% conversion rate, who cares?

So he can't make a 56 yarder but he's reliable on everything else? Sounds like a major upgrade over Havrisik to me...

Fuck that, get him now and kick Luc to the curb.

I could care less about a guy that can hit from 60. I want a guy that can hit under 50 reliably. And nothing I've seen from our guy says he can make a 60 yarder anyway.

It seems like our best kickers had an "aim small, miss small" element to their game. Greg the leg had his slumps, sure. But at least his misses would be good if you increased the goal post width 5 to 10%. Maher and Havrisik have misses that wouldn't be good if you doubled the goal post width. Gotta have ice water in your veins to do that job. I'm for moving on if Patterson falls to us in Waiver wire.

havarisk or bust. go rams.

 

[FrantikRam]

Our future kicker will be coming from the draft next year. For this year, stick with him as there's not likely to be a better option....and lets not forget the epic bad stretch that Crosby himself had a few years ago

The YouTube clip of that is painfull to watch.

This in the rain tells me he can hit a 60 yarder.
I'm not arguing to keep him with this... just pointing out the factors for why the team is giving him a long leash.

He can barely kick an XP.
I'm not lining this guy up for a 60 yarder he might have a 10% chance of making. Talk about gifting your opponent great field position.

Just pointing out that, yes, he actually has the leg for a 60 yarder.
The strength issue isn't one you can debate.

And no one is debating you about him being inconsistent.. because he's inconsistent.

No one is doubting his leg strength (i dont think)

His leg strength is probably unparalleled.


but his accuracy is not pro level.

Who cares how far the guy can kick. A kicker with accuracy issues is worthless. I know you aren't advocating to keep him, just saying.

Haha just saw your comment and essentially said the same thing. Couldn't agree more.

 

[gogoat1]

Oh, he has got 60 years and more in that leg. But at this point do you see McVay trusting him for a shot like that ? I don't, the look on has face was telling on his last massive shank.
That said, The Lonesome Kicker is appropriate here.

This was one of the last guys we kicked to the curb because early on he couldn't hit shit.
