Is being a kicker really that hard?

[blackbart]

WTF???

Three guys who mostly do nothing else can’t get that operation down? Kick the fucking thing 100 times a day, 200 if that’s what it takes.

Outside of a great defensive play, it can’t be that hard inside 40 yards can it?

Any kickers out there with perspective?

Brandon McManus who was just allowed off the NFL special list. Dude still has the leg, and those two women can suck it.

I don't think it is the physical part as much as the mental part. Because you are correct. It is not that hard inside of 40 yards, from a strictly physical perspective.

Yeah I wasn't worried about kicker.. but after today.


Not feeling confident.

Yes it is and no still not worried about him.

Sad to have a vent thread though on the day of a win.

On the missed FG Karty timing and mechanics looked out of whack.

You don’t have to participate.

I have never kicked so I wanted input from our more knowledgeable ROD members.

All three of his XPAs were weak.

I do know when they aren’t used they can become rusty pretty quick. But they should always be ready at all times and drill the kicks they need to and do their job well.

Remember a few weeks ago, his injury? Maybe the injury itself is an issue not being reported or, the response to the injury/recovery are affecting his process.

I think he/Rams figure it out and he becomes the Kicker we need.
He's a rookie on a team that's had big issues all over. Let's give him a chance.

It's a legit question however... the kicks were short and the game would have been out of reach if he made them.

I guess I'd have more empathy to the OP and the question if he'd actually participated in the celebration. Maybe it's just me being overly annoyed by all the vent threads especially when we managed to actually win.

[OldSchool]

Back to watching a great start to the game by the Dodgers

 

[Dodgersrf]

Wasn’t there a report that he wasn’t 100% a couple weeks ago?

I don’t think he’s completely healthy.

 

[PhillyRam]

At this point I am willing to take a flyer on this guy.

Yeah he's been nursing an injury for 3 weeks now.

I din’t post on every thread, I enjoy football and have been a Rams fan since the late 60’s but I have a life.

And, this isn’t a vent thread.
