Tanner kicks a good ball. I am not giving up on him yet.

There is insane pressure on kickers… the spotlight on you is 1,000,000x magnified that pressure you feel playing golf when others watch you tee off.

Everyone is watching. Can you tune it out?

Some pull out of it, and develop ice in the veins like Matt Gay. Others don’t, like Roberto Aguayo.

If he can pull out of it… that’s what makes the best kickers great.

Go Tanner!

He was the best tackler since Joe Montana!

The title is literal now - no longer opinion.
 
At least we have a Punter. You can usually find a Vet Kicker somewhere. No biggie.

It may not have had any impact last season ... I agree.

However, I do think a top-PK vs. an average/below-average-PK usually will make a discernable difference.

Exactly. When it matters, and we’re in a situation where we need to win a game, and it comes down to a FG, I want to feel confident in my kicker.

Didn't Ethan Evans do both kicks and punts? Maybe we'll have a QB as the holder?

I am repeating myself but the Rams should have signed Matt Gay to a 5 year contract with a signing bonus so they could get under the cap for the first year.

Having a higher CAP hit in years 2 3 4 and 5 would not hurt the Rams since I see the CAP dramatically going up each year with the new TV contract

Colts overpaid for Matt Gay. Yeah he’s a good kicker so you give him 5 million and then refuse to negotiate with your star running back. How many more wins will the Colts get with Matt Gay at kicker? How many more would they have won if they had Jonathan Taylor carrying the ball? The Colts have got their priorities out of order.

Rams were in rebuild and retooling mode. You don’t trade your best DB, cut your best LB to sign a placekicker to a record setting contract.

He kicked off but didn’t do any place kicking.

I'm talking more college. I believe Ethan Evans did punts, kickoffs, and place kicking at college.

But who knows? I certainly don't.

He certainly did. Don’t have the videos/info I posted on him that we should draft him in the off season, but he does it all, And all efficiently.

Curious if we keep him and have him kick to open up a roster spot? Also curious if that will cause him to be injured although he’s young?
