That’s the story of every kicker’s lives. Doesnt matter if you are Greg the Leg or Sam Sloman. Miss a few kicks and ye shall be shunned.

Idk about this. Rookie PKs have a looong history of failure in the NFL. Hope Sloman is one of the exceptions. Definitely thought he’d be practice squad keeper for LT and one of the older guys would win out. Lotta risk involved here. I won’t feel comfortable at end of game down 3 or less — all season long, that’s for sure. Need to stock up on some extra alcohol in the house just in case.

We certainly only got to hear about a small sample of what the coaches saw. I was hoping for Liram because reports were he had a longer leg and he was accurate early. He also could punt if needed.
The kid could have had some nerves early on and got more comfortable late. We didn't see the kicks which makes it impossible to really give an accurate judgment. Kickoffs are also a consideration. It's not a money thing as there isn't that much difference in the first three years as far as I could tell.
Good luck Sam.
Rams need to practice 3rd and 4th and short!

I know you're upset you didn't win the job, Lirim, but there's need to make burner accounts on a Rams site to call people Sloman homer-esses.

That could be any kicker.
Kobe threw up a few bricks at the buzzer his rookie season. Chick Hearn only gloated about how the kid wanted the ball in his hands.
Perspective.

Lirim and MacGinnis were 10-13 for the week and Sloman was 7-13.
Thanks for everything man. You're a great mod. Hopefully this is a better season than last year. Take care

Sloman kicked for Miami of Ohio against many Michigan teams, the weather is bad, so he's used to it from that standpoint.

You better not f*** this up Sloman... I mean, welcome to the team and gratz!!!
seriously though, everyone loves their kicker until the missed game winner. No reason to be negative about Sloman winning the job at this point. All though he does basically look like Rudy on an NFL field.
