Rams sign K Brandon McManus

[RhodyRams]

I'm warming up and going cleat shopping!

if you make the team, you'll have to actually watch this team live. Sure you want to do that?

 

[PhillyRam]

Too bad Tom Dempsey's no longer with us.. LOL

He sucked. At least I remember him missing some big kicks, in big games when I was a kid.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Maybe Mike Lansford is willing to come back

I played golf with Lansford about 20 years ago.
It was a tournament and he was in our foursome.

He’s a great guy.
Both of his knees were in bad shape.

You could wheel Lou Groza's skeleton out there for all the good it's gonna do at this point.

 

[RhodyRams]

2030 2nd round pick and Vetrone to Dallas for Aubry?

I'll even throw in @DragonOfBlood and @Ramsthierwives to sweeten the pot !!

Kickers don't pay attention! They're AJ Brown over there on the bench with a book.

Looks like Grupe will be out for a while. Who's next man up? Tanner Brown? Graham Gano? Matt Prater? Someone else? And for heaven's sakes Sean, use Evans for all kickoffs. He's big and fast if he needs to help with a tackle. He was the one who ran down that Buffalo return guy from behind. Saved a touchdown.

Bring in Matt Prater for a tryout. If he can still boot it, keep him. He's proven and reliable.

You're an out of work kicker, visiting your agents office, as you are heading out on vacation. Then your agent takes a call from Bubba Vetrone...

 

[Gandalf]

Problem is that they are terrible at 2 point conversions and havent made one in years

Good for giving them up

 

[Coliseum Ram]

This is all fun and games joking about kickers, and US posters actually going to try out for kicking, LOL, all funny. But in reality, this season-killing shit show falls on the head of one Sean McVay. We could have had Matt Gay back at basically MINIMUM Salary. PASS.....(I, Sean, know better)

Uhhh, site have a big crash? Everything been deleted that was posted in last day or so.

Anyhoo, Rams sign McManus. Would not have been my first choice but here we go either way.

ROD was down for me I thought it was because the Rams have their third kicker in about 10 days.

So we picked the guy with the worst % out of all of them.... heh

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Man we get a shitty kicker in McManus, not gonna be surprised if he eventually gets booted for another kicker. This dude hasn't been good since his Broncos days. Green Bay fans laughing at us.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Here's why our new kicker got fired and almost murdered from his last job.....
