Why so little talk about Karty?

Better to have these issues early in the season so you can correct them and be ready for a playoff run. I will be surprised if Karty has another kick blocked this season.

This thread just pisses me off.
Do you throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Fix the blocking and we have a damn good kicker.

Agreed but I still have to wonder about those knuckleball kick offs affecting the kicking motion. It sure looked like his extra points were much higher from the start and we all saw that the kicking motion offs were more just short kickoffs that were easier to field than previous weeks. I’m guessing that McVay decided that ten or so more yards on returns were worth getting Karty back on line with his XPs and FGs.

Time will tell. But I still think Karty is a hell of a kicker and will get right as the season unfolds. It helps that he truly wanted to be drafted by the Rams.

I am still all in on Karty. He kicks a nice ball.

All kickers go through funks, and this is kind of a small one really. If he goes on a roll after this it is all good.

@André it’s a confidence position as you said. Damn I hope he responds.

The shitty thing is… the blocking has been a factor. If it wasn’t, this thread probably doesn’t exist.

Put me in the camp thinking Evans should be doing kickoffs.

I don't think either Karty or Ethan Evans are the problems with our special teams. We simply are lacking when it comes to blocking and swarming to the ball (on the issue of punt returns, such as the one the Jaguars would've scored six on, were it not for one of their boneheaded mistakes).

Last year was great. I don't know what's gone wrong this year and I won't pretend to know what's wrong, but I'm not willing to throw away guys who could be excellent players over it.
 
It's hard to know for sure if Karty is they guy yet.

Extra points look great... other kicks have been inconsistent.

We will see how things progress.
