I think he’s been told not to even try.I know it's not a vent thread, but our kick returner did not run any punts back. Not one.
One of the worst days for special teams all together that I can recall. Really a joke!

Vegas was all over the Giants making this a close game. It was just the perfect trap game for the Rams.I think Cowherd was playing the spread more than he was picking a team?
I doubt it, couldn't see a player who was coached by Kirk Ferentz and now McVay not play in a big game because of his contract.Curious what the personal reasons are for. Is he mad because he wants a contract?
I guess we are going to have a new coach to rip now?So.. offseason priorities… new ST coach & new kicker.
Nah they subconsciously took a break with the 5-11 Giants, no matter how many right things they thought and said to themselves. They'll be up for the 9ers.So now we go staggering into 'Frisco?![]()
If it's family related, maybe he wants to play lights out in honor of them? Still sucks though.I doubt it, couldn't see a player who was coached by Kirk Ferentz and now McVay not play in a big game because of his contract.
Hopefully it's not health related, or something tragic happening in his family.
I think he out kicks coverage because he's in such a rush to punt. I feel like there's a lot of pressure most punts.I guess we are going to have a new coach to rip now?
Honestly, and not saying I care one way or other, but I don't think Blackburn is the kind of coach that is lax and teaching fundamentals. Rams players blew that. They had him...and were lazy... That's on the players.
The coverage was there...
I don't think Blackburn is teaching Evan to outkick coverage, either. He just does it too often.
And bad tackling? These are NFL guys ... they have to be able to do it.
I was going to post the same thing, but then I thought about Tyrod running loose down the field at the end and said nope.I haven’t been on here.. are people blaming the defense?
Missed kicks, 2 ints… a fumble lost?
D did its job well enough today.
It's a serious problem right now for us, that back end. That and teams are going to be our downfall.Pissed me off that seemed like our DBs were miscommunicating all game too.. and had zero safety help over top at times.
Which is part of the reason I’m leaning towards a contract thing because it was for “ personal reasons”I doubt it, couldn't see a player who was coached by Kirk Ferentz and now McVay not play in a big game because of his contract.

You know everybody's seeing that as our achilles heel and is trying to exploit it.It's a serious problem right now for us, that back end. That and teams are going to be our downfall.
Almost 1500 people on here at once today.Wow this site really needs to look into better servers.
I think it's because he's still raw, has not learned to quite control his rare leg strength ... but I have not made a study of it. But I do see there is pressure. But I have been noting his outkicking coverage since preseason, so possible some of both ... but often pressure causes short kicks, not overly long, IMO. But what you are saying is worth a close studyI think he out kicks coverage because he's in such a rush to punt. I feel like there's a lot of pressure most punts.
the penalty on the FG looked like a designed play that didn't understand the rules.I guess we are going to have a new coach to rip now?

The Rams didn't win, the Giants simply lost.
BUT, it's sure nice to finally be on the right side of a game we didn't deserve to win.
