I dont advocate for Tucker being signed to the team, but it does need to be said that Tucker vehemently denies the claims, and he is not being charged with any crime nor have any civil claims been filed.
So let's chill out with the ivory tower stuff. We've seen enough jumping to conclusions turning out to be false, Smollett, Duke Lacrosse, possibly Kyren Lacy etc
Innocent until proven guilty, right?
Alas, the Rams kicking sitch needs to be fixed, asap. And I think the Jake McQuaid re-signing is a pretty huge indication of where the problems may start
Thank you!!

There is that. As I read - and I can't locate the link anymore - but at least one spa he visited denied the allegations and even extended a return visit to him. And it probably doesn't matter to the NFL, but he was never found guilty in court - not that I trust those sideshows, either...
 
I think the issue is with McVay and the coaching staff. Cameron Dicker was supposedly garbage too. Now he is one of the best in the league. Karty was a phenom in college. Now he sucks. I'm not buying it. McVay is a great coach, but his work on special teams has always left a lot to be desired. It has been shit ever since he got rid of Bones.
I agree with this. I think it's the coaching. Replace Blackburn as soon as it is reasonable to do so.

I think he still hopes he can latch on with an MLB team at some point, but the thing about sexual assault cases there is no statute of limitations (in California) when criminal charges can be brought on the accused or if the accused is falsely charged. So Bauer has plenty of time to file charges against the MLB.....well at least on the Pasadena case, which I believe is the reason the MLB suspended him.
You're probably right.
Its an ugly mess.
 
Would have preferred a more proven NFL kicker over going with Mevis, but let's see what he can do.
Agreed.
Doesn't make a ton of sense to me with one exception. Why bring in an experienced kicked who is unproven to push a kicker who is struggling and not proven?
Because you don't really want to replace he kicker.

Bring in a kicking guru. Blackburn's expertise, if he has one, is probably coverage schemes. Bring in an ex-kicker who is good at working with the kicking game, to support Blackburn. Then figure things out in the offseason about whether to bring in a new STs coach.

Thing is ... his coverage schemes have sucked as well.

We should have 2 punt returns for TDs against us if not for a really stupid penalty.

It’s Ethan Evan tapping twice before the ball is snapped. That signals to the opposing team to time their rush and collapse the middle of the line for the blocked field goal. This in effect will mess Karty’s kick-thru motion and timing. Karty is not the problem. Karty is an excellent kicker. It’s the entire ST operation and Chase Blackburn needs to figure this out.
