Full desperation, bottom of the barrel mode?

Screw it. Evans does all the kicking off duties. No field goal kicker on game day. 4 down territory anytime you get past the opponent's 40. If they make 50 percent of their 2 point tries its like 100 percent of the 1 point PAT's.
Problem is that they are terrible at 2 point conversions and havent made one in years

Where can I lay my 1000-1 all-in bet that our 2-way punter/kicker gets injured on the opening kickoff?

You KNOW that would happen with our luck this season.
 
I think that Moody may be the only kicker currently on a practice squad. He's with Baltimore.

Likely our best roll of the dice at this time.

Season is done for the SB anyways.

Just go for it.

May discover something in that mix.
 
Most likely Tanner Brown, but sure wish it was someone else. Played well in the UFL, but did not win the job with the Saints and missed a 38 yard FG against us in preseason. Was 2/3 overall good from 29 & 48 yards.

If Matt Prater has anything left I bring him in. He was great for the Bills last season and has made some big kicks over the years.
 
Gemini List.

Tanner Brown (Louisville Kings / New Orleans Saints): If the Rams want a highly successful spring league kicker, Brown is the premier choice. He was an absolute sensation during the 2026 UFL season for the Louisville Kings, drilling 25 of 28 field goals. Remarkably, he went a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond 60 yards. He spent time on the Saints' roster/practice squad recently and is already intimately familiar with the Rams, having originally signed with them out of college in 2023. [1]

Could be steady. We have to see how far he kicks. It's a toss-up: old vs young. If Brown can handle it, he would be a longer-term, cheaper option.

Pratter last year. He still had the distance.
2025 NFL Season (Buffalo Bills)
Prater had a highly accurate campaign with the Buffalo Bills, missing only two kicks during the regular season. [1]

There are no ufl kickers or Canadian leauge or the premier leauge soccer players in London? I'm kidding, but we are desperate.

50% ... ay, there's the rub.
