The sad part is it might be too little too late. Next year fiscally and maybe talent might be a total rebuild, but to be this close and not have reliable special teams has been frustrating to post the least.

If it were me I would go the college route. Hire Doug Deakin of Oklahoma and bring his kicker with him in Tate Sandell and then find a seasoned punter that is an excellent holder too. My choice J.K. Scott of the Chargers. Pay him, solid punter and a history of being an excellent holder for Dicker. Then allow Deakin input on how he can transform the special team unit, like he did at Oklahoma. It is time to allocate resoruces.

FWIW that is plan B, if John Fassel becomes available welcome him back with open arms and give him the resources to transform the unit. Either way, you cannot put a band aide on the special teams any longer and I hope McVay has it in him to allow a transformation.
Fassel won't happen and his boat may have sailed as well being an Assistant head coach he's not likely to come available unless/until Salah gets canned which should happen sooner than later I guess.
 
Can this STs be salvaged this season? Last year, they couldn't right the ship and it cost them.If they don't salvage it this year, there 0% chance we do anything meaningful. Not sure what changes they can make because it seems to be a personnel issue.

STs sucked last year but it was the defensive pass coverage that did them in. Abysmal lack of talent.
 
Get Tasker out of radio and sign him as our st coach, hell he could probably outplay many on our st.

Nothing about this post is serious...............Maybe ;)

Pass D was also a problem. But, STs is the reason we didn't get the 1 seed (missed kicks against eagles, Seahawks, punt return for TD, punt drop in NFCCG). Even with the crappy pass D, we would have won the SB if the STs was average
 
I know this math doesn't math in football but work with me people.

The point being our offense could have scored 5 less points or the defense give up five more if we would have made the kicks.

I hope you get the point.

We can a take at hit in areas and still win the game better.

We may as well just do what that high school coach did and won championships by never punting the football. Always went for it. No matter.
 
Ya know, ROD brothers and sisters.....

There is a former Ram Super Bowl Champion MLB now on the Jets who was always a solid special teamer the Rams could probably trade for......
 
I was surprised Mevis was the only casualty after Monday. It goes much deeper than that.
Good post! Kinda like using mouthwash when you have Halitosis.



Jeff Fisher received a vote of confidence in the form of a contract extension just days before the Los Angeles Rams fired him in December 2016
 
Fredo may have even been an upgrade.

But he is Dead.

So its really not an upgrade. Maybe nor a down grade.

Good lord we are screwed with Special Teams this year.

One time I hope I am wrong. Dead wrong. Dead dead dead wrong. So stupid wrong. Moron wrong. Idiot wrong.

You know, status quo. :woozy:
 
We have people like emmanuel forbes covering punts...... It's a personnel problem in part due to mcvay.

PERFECT OBSERVATION!!!

Forbes cost THE RAMS - the Denver game.His 40 plus yard penalty changed the game.

Even then though ETHAN has been DOG DO these last 2 years !!

I have a friend whose son is a D2 Punter! He goes to Camps & knows Evans from a few years ago.
His Son is Top 6 Nationally avg. in The NCAA in 2026 as a Redshirt sophomore.The punter before him is(was) Bama’s punter last season.Ty Simpson probably knows him? That said a punter in NCAA can make a couple coins.

Still the long story short was when Ethan Evans had a Punt from the 50.He needs to DROP it inside the 10(10-0),more like the 5yard line.

The dad said he’d be on his son if he punted the ball like Evans.The son agreed and actually told him what the dad was telling me watching it live.I thought it wasn’t a bad Punt,but that’s The Standard punters go by.

What else does Evans have to do ? Oh “. Kickoffs. How did that work - lmao .. Mevis was kicking off after the opening kick.
 
Maybe he's finally realizing that the special teams mess is his fault?

6 special teams coaches later.

Back to The Bones thing.He was The Rams last Head Coach & was under contract. Kevin DEMOFF needed Mcvay to have Wade & Bones in order to be The HEAD COACH !! Without Wade or someone like that it wasn’t going to happen.

Watching Bones over the years was pretty cool.He would RUN the DRILLS himself Faster & Better than The Players !!

It was funny watching him running & his ENERGY!! Then of course Kory LITTLETON !! What a STUD ST’s player. He a BRYCE HAGNER would do drills together.

Troy Reeder was a nice veteran player,better than this FOOL from Detroit !! He is SLOW !! You have to get there First !!
