you had a point but I forget what it wasMevis looks more like a curveball kicker in his highlights. Nothing really straight about 'em. But I'll take them bouncing over as long as he makes them!

I believe there were two points.
I was trying hard to see either one of those points.
But both points appeared to be moving targets.
Shame. Because I’m sure they were both excellent points that any of us gentlemen could appreciate.

I hope they don't give up on Karty too soon. Maybe the time off will help him get his head straight. Seems like he lost his confidence. Hard to find any rhythm when that happens. I hope its just the kicker with the problems. I'm not convinced that solves the issues with the blocking.
This has probably been said, so apologize if redundant... My only surprise is that Mevis is the best option that could be mustered. Not seemingly great on paper or experience. I'm as confident as I've ever been in the Rams coaches and front office, though special teams has been the weakest link. High hopes but low expectations on this one.

To a van in Thousand Oaks...
Was anyone else hoping that McVay would let Mevis close out the game with a field goal attempt?

PAT looked smooth. Would have liked to see a FG but if this kid kicks 7 PATs a game from here on out, I’ll be ok with it.

He did excellent today on XPs.
Imagine, practicing special teams during the week actually helps? Wow.
The new kid hasn't been Chase'd yet. Or worse, Blackburned.

Not blaming it all on Karty, but even PAT's were not looking guaranteed. But I guess if you are kicking 6 PAT's, you don't lose too often
I'm not sure you can go back to Karty unless and until the Thiccer Kicker misses.... Maybe a trip to the IR for Karty.
Mevis the Beavis looked goot to me tonight. Gets up on the ball in time. The ball quickly gets altitude and goes straight.
What else do you want ?
Karty is not getting his job back.
I think he has talent but our coach seems to have screwed him up.
Hope he does not overthink Mevis the Bevis. Let the big chunk kick like he wants to.
