Bye bye Lucas, and good riddance.
With that thinking we should have cut Greg The Leg in 2015. Only to make the Pro Bowl in 2017.
Let the coaches do what they do and give him a few more weeks.
Even if they have to find a vet to get us by I would like to see him on our PS at least.

Zuerline never had accuracy issues in college. He was incredible with his accuracy before the NFL, if I recall.

Havrisik was bad in college, and bad so far in the NFL. Expecting him to suddenly become accurate is very wishful thinking.

I think he just put the fear in McVay with the way he kicked today. Doubt he makes it through the week.

Rams are in kicker hell. They'll be consulting with Den tomorrow morning on options.

They can put him on the PS and work with him on his mechanics. He was shaky on the kicks that even went in.

doesnt matter if you can kick it 70 if you can't make it from 43....

I'd be surprised if we don't have another kicker inc.

I'll take a guy that can hit it up to 50 yards reliably. I don't care about the whole leg cannon BS. Give me accuracy.

I watched many kickers practice before the game and Greg the Leg and Matt Gay could hit from proven distance. Saw Greg in St Louis hit 70+ yards before the game.

This Havrisik guy out kicks both of them. He does not go past 53 yards in practice but the ball is above the goal posts as it goes thru. Easy 70+ yards.

There is so much head game with this position. I have grown so uncertain about this position. Even the Browns kicker, who is supposedly one of the most accurate, if not the most accurate, miss an extra point.

If there was a 60 yarder to make and this was our only hope, I can say it may be our best hope. Havrisik has more leg than Zuerline. And I thought I could never say that.

Every kick barely goes in, even if he makes it. Kicking from 60 is a bad strategy, because if you miss, you are giving the other team great field position. This guy needs to go, before he costs us a game.

Second straight week that Havrisik has kicked like shit. It's not even just the misses, it's that his makes BARELY squeak in. And that 43 yard miss was f'n ugly, he pushed it right by a mile. And the 28 yarder was awful close to hooking left. He's all over the place....

The announcers didn’t say it, but in the replay, I thought a Ram got a hand on Hopkins PAT.

It may have just looked that way because it wasn’t on target. But I’m going to look at it again.

That was Lucas Havrisilk's last NFL game. The Rams have no choice but to move on and find a new kicker.

Nothing yet, but they did drop a TE off the practice squad. Maybe the is to cut Havrisik sign another kicker & then add Havirsik to the practice squad. Or not

I don’t think it happens this week.

But if he has another game like that against the Ravens?

Yes, the Rams' Team site no longer shows TE Miller Forristall on the PS, leaving just 13 ... room for 3 more.
Thought I read last week that CB Cameron McCutcheon was re-signed to the PS but the site does not list him.

Signed Crosby to PS, looks like this thread, and Havrisk's Ram career is on life support
