Well it's either Grupe getting ran over or Mevis who can probably be avoided at a brisk walk if the returner needed to so kinda screwed either way I suppose.
Mevis gone

Special teams could use some Grupe therapy.

Good summary. 2025 was a weird year for Grupe. Here's hoping that his perfect finish with the Colts gave him confidence.
Does anyone think the blocking is also an issue and that it may not be just the kicker's fault? The same part of the line (Left) got blown up last year against the Eagles.
Looking at the replay, the guy who blocked it was left of the center. From that look, I think Mevis woulda missed it anyway. But still, what about the lack of blocking that allowed him to penetrate and block the kick? We figured the blocks were on Karty last year. But again? With a different kicker? Something is amiss with those guys on the line.
Yeah this was more of a line problem than a kicker problem this particular overtime kick. Like you said same thing in Philly last year. McVay builds hollow, top-heavy teams and yet we still dont have a stud WR3......
Yeah, its not like we have reserve WRs who are indispensable. Yet Atwell, Mumpfield, and Daniels offer nothing on STs.
The Eagles have been solid on STs this year. Their best coverage guy was Darious Cooper. He was a monster covering kicks. Now he is a starting WR so I haven't seen him on coverage. So this past week they had two big returns against them. The 2nd return also had Jeremiah Trotter Jr missing due to an ejection. He was also a top guy on coverage.
The loss of those two guys mattered. Shows what a difference a few STs standouts can make.
Karty's blocks were on him for the most part. He waited until the ball was placed on the ground before starting to move forward, way late.
Mevis getting blocked was not so much on him. Tired of our ST O line getting blown up, its crazy. But Mevis was sort of shaky, had some good moments but was still a weak point.
I hope this midget kicker gets his kicks up quick, he is going to need it.
Almost like they’re looking for an excuse. Don’t get me wrong… Mevis was not a world beater but dang, that was quick. Remember when we regretted letting Gay go? Just PAY a Kicker.
Mevis couldn’t even be trusted from 40+ yards out. I was clenching every time he was kicking extra points too lol. It was time for the Rams to move on from him.
Mevis needed to go. He was good last year, but that was a mirage. Guy was a mess this year.
But whomever is coaching the kicking OL and playing OL - needs to be fired. They look like freshmen high schoolers going against NFL men. Not a one time thing too - this has been a yearly problem. Idk how or why. But clean house and fix this for FFS.

Im still not over the decision to quit playing offense at the 40 yrd line, so im finding it hard to care or even have an opinion on this topic.
Good luck to ya Mevis.
Good luck to ya Mevis.
Not a Mevis guy not not sure that cutting him is the answer. But too late for that.
Guess the misses this year was too much. The block is not on him though.

I guess they will be saving on the weekly dining budget

You act like that fat ass Mevis was catching anyone so basically the same shit anyways.
On the human side, I always feel bad when someone loses their job. But this is a business, and difficult decisions have to be made.
First Xavier, now Mevis. I suspect these won't be the last personnel changes we see this season.
I'm afraid our Rams House has termites, and simply replacing a few boards isn't going to solve the problem. The damage may be deeper than the Rams want to admit, and the remedy far more extensive. If this doesn't work, Bubba is about to be thrown into the hat next. GO RAMS!

Bring others in too, please. I'm not even relieved Mevis is gone. I'm just disappointed we weren't going for the TD in OT when everything was firing. Just absolutely makes no sense at all.
