Mevis

[Ram Ts]

Weird situation with Karty being kept on. Makes me think maybe that they believe in him and he’s the most talented - but he needs a couple weeks to fix some issues. In the meantime, using this other guy. Idk maybe

Blackburn is still on the staff, so yeah me too.

 

[Ramhusker]

Time will tell if this is right.

 

[RAMSinLA]

Rams have some good teams to face and need to depend on their place kicker. I hope this is the answer.

 

[Snaz]

Can use him 3 times from Practice Squad? Is that correct?

Yeah, basically Karty has 3 weeks to win his job back or he has to go.

 

[JPPT1974]

Nice guy but Blackburn needs to go.

McVay said fixing the field goal operation is something they're "continuously trying to be able get our hands wrapped around," and that "we've talked about this probably more than anything that I've ever had to talk about since I've been the head coach of the Rams."

Blackburn must have some great pics of Coach throwin down.

Yeah, basically Karty has 3 weeks to win his job back or he has to go.

If Mevis plays well, and if I'm Karty, I'd be very worried.

And if he plays great, i.e. for example hits a long FG to win this fuckin game, well... It's been nice knowing you Karty.

"There's a lot of layers to it," McVay said prior to Friday's practice, when asked what led him to make the decision to start Mevis instead of incumbent Joshua Karty.

Good Lord, "there's a lot of layers to it" should be the basis for a drinking game... ya gotta take a drink every time McVay says it!

That phrase should be the go-to answer to ANY difficult question.

Q: So why did you rob the bank and then cheat on your wife?
A: "There's a lot of layers to it"

True enough.

But I'd prefer a crystal ball!

So basically, "It's complicated."

Or that they're not sure if he's part of the problem, so they don't want to move on from him yet until they're sure.

Mevis: You're built for this. LFG

Here's a link to McVay's comments today about the kicker situation.

I love it that he's "probably" gonna keep both kickers on the roster for a while. Gives him plenty of time to evaluate things.

Ya...

It's kinda that feeling when you finally boot your girlfriend out of your house, then you kinda have that unsure feeling of who's gonna fold your underwear.

Uh…no, that wasn’t what I was thinking at all.
WASHING my underwear? Ok, that’s different.

 

[fanotodd]

I'm the opposite. I do want to see McVay going for it more often. He's conservative by nature, but I think he'd be better served if he went for those 4th and short more often.

Agree.
1) this is a high powered offense that is heating up.
2) the defense is top notch and should factor in when considering going for it on 4th down.

If it’s up to me, once the Rams cross the 50 yard line, they should be using their 4 down playbook.

 

[Tumak61]

A kicker who isn't thinking is the best kicker. Just swing that leg.

 

[Steve808]

My hopes and expectations are:

1. Don't miss extra points
2. Don't miss FG's inside of 45 yards.
3. Make 75% of FGs inside of 55 yards.
4. No more blocked kicks

That's it. My expectations are not overly high for an NFL kicker is it?

 

[gogoat1]

I used to feel that way too, but now that McVay slowed down his brain enough to finally realize he has four TE's he can now throw to on short yardage and be successful on 3rd and 4th downs and short yardage..... I cautiously feel more optimistic.

They should have a kicking game good enough to do so.................. if they wanted.
Being forced to is a whole different deal.

Karty was/is not the problem. He has no confidence, because the line has been trash on blocking. Its like they give up and dont care.

Its gonna happen to this guy too, and thats what they want to see.
