That’s called PTSD. And a lot of us are still going thru that on FG attempts.

All the Rams need to do now is sign a kickholder with the last name “Mutthead” and it’s Super Bowl time!
I disagree. I think most of his kicks were center-cut. He made Karty look like a blind man.
I concur, Mevis was dead on with his extra points and many kicks you knew were good right from the outset. Again, no kicker is dead solid perfect all of the time, but Mevis missed only one FG, albeit a big one, but made one too and against the Seahawks was perfect plus from 50 yards as well.
He also settled down a field goal unit that was struggling across the board. His presence out there made a difference.

Mine too, but, after a bit it was more about a potential breakdown blocking than his kicking.
Introducing KVA: New metric ranks every NFL kicker from the 2025 season
FanSided is debuting Kick Value Added (KVA), a brand-new, proprietary metric designed to evaluate NFL kicking performance in a way that hasn’t existed before. T

Mevis stole the soul and broke the heart of every single Chicago Bears fan in the world. Think about that. 50 years from now they will remember his name like we remember Vinatieri. That was clutch and the first time he ever showed any emotion. For him to do that in those adverse conditions, it was like balancing spinning plates on a unicycle while riding through fire.
I wonder if they move on from Evans? I doubt it, but he has a $3.6M cap hit. A release only results in $27K of dead cap. He was one of the 23' draft class that got rewarded with an automatic pay raise based on hitting certain metrics. Would they take a shot on another rookie punter, considering Evans wasn't all that great during the 2nd half of the season?
I don’t think the Rams drop Evans but that is a decent cap savings. At the very least, the new ST regime needs to assess the punt coverage woes and decide if Evans was part of the problem (punt return TD, blocked punt, good angle kicks but hang time not so good, etc.). And if so, what would it take to fix it.
Its too bad for the Karty family. I remember his mom wearing a Rams horn cap. Even before he was picked. She so badly wanted her son to be a Ram. I hope he can revive his career somewhere.

Man, Evans is an interesting case I'd like to know more about. At the start of his career he was looking like another amazing weapon with his hang time and placement and then it feels like last two years he's been really inconsistent.
Has anyone assessed that his time to kick has diminished resulting in quicker/lower kicks (less hang time/more prone to blocks)?
