Hopefully Harrison will land on a team that will treat him well but think that hopefully Grupe will find success if he is signed by LAR!
Grupe must be thought of well to even be on a practice squad. I doubt there are many kickers on PS. Honestly, couldn't be worse. Now, is there any ST Coaches hanging around? ANY?
I know one that should be unemployed immediately.

I've wondered about Mevis. You have access to the top end exercise equipment and a personal nutritionist and your are perhaps fatter then when you were signed? Does that suggest you are taking your job seriously and trying to improve? I'd suggest no.
How in the how is the ST coach not gone?

Go Grupe Troop!
Mevis, thanks for making that FG in the snow in Chicago.
Except when it comes to the coach. There is not one aspect of STs that is even remotely close to decent, so what do we do? Cut players but keep the coach? That's crazy. Karty was supposed to be good. Mevis was automatic inside the 50. Now neither can kick? Why? It comes down to coaching.
Or my favorite Rams kicker of all time, Mr. Jeff Wilkins

BTW we have gone from the thicker kicker to the midget kicker. Listed at 5 foot 7 and 157 pounds. Hope there is lightning in that leg.
Grupe had one terrible partial 2025 season with the Saints but then turned it around after getting cut and landing with Colts. Hopefully just a hiccup to a long and productive career moving forward.
And 90 pounds lighter at 156. Got to spring for a new jersey.

There is a clip on the Rams' site of post-game interviews with several players, including Mevis.
Mevis was asked how one 'galvanizes himself' (i.e. motivate ... move-forward) ... it was a reasonable question.
Mevis' response was ... 'go-back-to-work, find a way to fix it ... next play mentality ... Right?' ... an exact quote
I thought it was absolutely adorable that Mevis thought he would continue to be the Rams' kicker.

We could have had Matt Gay back for a song. Why didn't we???

Just thought of this but the kicker is the safety of last resort on kick off returns. Can you imagine Grupe at that size trying to bring literally anybody down in the open field? Too scary to think about.
