Looking at the replay, the guy who blocked it was left of the center. From that look, I think Mevis woulda missed it anyway. But still, what about the lack of blocking that allowed him to penetrate and block the kick? We figured the blocks were on Karty last year. But again? With a different kicker? Something is amiss with those guys on the line.

I thought the same thing, but I'm not sure after looking again. The dude got some good movement toward the kicking spot side.

Good ridance.

I always support all Rams player.
Never liked the signing. Never saw the NFL skill level.
He did a few good things, but that's easy.

Maybe a good example of how special teams have not been important enough to McVay.

I still wonder why McVay did not make it work with Bones. McVay is a leader of men. He did not do it with Fassel. It was conflict and failure.

Since then, mediocracy at best.

Does McVay see the NFL as offense and defense only? And special teams is a necessary evil?
Special teams have not been important enough to him.

Im still not over the decision to quit playing offense at the 40 yrd line, so im finding it hard to care or even have an opinion on this topic.

Good luck to ya Mevis.

I tend to agree.
In fact, I think the dismay from this one is going stick with me for a while.
It's not that the Rams lost. It's the way they lost - and I'm tired of it.

Worth taking a shot on Grupe. Has been up and down in the past, but he's proven himself a NFL caliber Kicker. Hopefully, like Matt Gay, he finds consistency here.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, and I wish he would take that special teams coach with him.
 
Good. Mevis is not a viable NFL kicker. Team never trusted him beyond 45 yards. That just doesn't cut it. Grupe is an upgrade. Not sure he is a long term answer but we'll see. Perhaps he can find consistency. No kicker will succeed here though if we can't block better. Not even close to good enough there.
 
Mevis being cut is the recognition that it's the players that are the problem. They need more ST personnel changes, including using more starters if necessary.

Firing the coach would be scapegoating and wouldn't solve a damn thing other than making us feel better for about three seconds.

Sorry if I missed it, did they sign anyone else to practice squad? As far as kicker goes?

Sorry, but you're not going to convince me when every aspect of our special teams is bad that the coach, who oversaw the worst special teams unit in the NFL last year (yes, worse than ours), isn't a big part of the problem.
