Wow, the drama continues.

Some speculation that the Rams "could" have 2 kickers active on game day: McManus for FG's and Karty for his knuckleball kickoffs.

Just speculation... but that would be wild.

If the cost of one roster spot improves teams... Do it!! Couldn't hurt at this point. It's better than standing pat.

Karty had a promising rookie year. Things went haywire in his second year. If he's fixed his mechanical issues and gotten over the yips, it's worth the shot.

I'm no expert but it always looked like he waited a tad before approaching the ball. It threw off the timing of the blocking and led to rushing the actual kick. I've been watching kicks from the camera angle behind the action for my whole life, and there's a rhythm and flow that is almost like a dance move. Karty was Elaine Benes.

It’s such an odd situation to be in when ST/Kicking is the one of the biggest reason we aren’t 6-1 that we are actually contemplating having two kickers lol.

Rams are interested in the knuckleball kickoff that Karty did successfully. He report that he had a hip injury that hadn't been fully healed last year. He can also hit longer FGs. Worth giving him a look. The Rams know him that helps.

If he had a damn hip injury, he should have been put on IR. Grumble grumble grumble.

Well he lost us a game because of that. Might have caused him to delay his approach to kicking the ball as well.

I will give him a break since he was young but he damn well better tell the team that he is hurting if he gets injured again.

Hopefully they just use him for his knuckleball kickoffs, as some have noted. Our ST is so bad they sure could use that advantage in coverage. It is dire enough that I think it is worth him holding a roster spot just for that.

I don't know how a hip injury makes you hesitate on beginning your kicking motion once ball is snapped?

Here was my take away back when the blocks started happening with examples. I'm all game for Karty coming back if he can get back to his special teams player of the month version his rookie year. But he has to fix the problem highlighted in the below thread.

Why so little talk about Karty?

I prefer to remind folks that he was definitely trending down prior to the entire fiasco A bit, maybe.... But nothing like the cliff he went off once those accusations started flying.

As long as he starts his forward motion as soon as the ball is snapped I am fine with him as a Ram. Him waiting IS what caused the block in Philly.
We could be the defending Champs if last years kicking woes did not happen.
He is young, has a big leg. Hope he ends our kicking issues.
