We can look on the bright side this week. We are playing indoors.

We can still bring in a new kicker IMO. It's not like a skill position player that needs to learn a playbook. Rapport with the holder and snapper I suspect are important. But teams switch kickers mid-season all the time and have the new guy kicking with a week notice or less. The Rams best be working the phones.

It's too bad we didn't steal that kicker from Detroit's PS. Think it was Detroit. If so he'd be guaranteed to kick the winner for us.

Jake Moody who, ironically, had a bad day yesterday, was a third round pick.

Would you use such a high pick on the best PK prospect (ie Joshua Karty, Stanford)?

I’d prefer it be a day 3 pick, but finding an answer in the draft must be a priority.

Fairly certain the Browns have TWO better kickers then us at this point. Offer Gould some cash to just get us through the playoffs, that's only 4 games ;) At least he can hit XP's.

I would prefer to use the 6th round comp pick the Rams received for Matt Gay for a kicker in the draft. However, not sure what round Karty would go, @jrry32 would have a better idea because he is one heck of a kicker.

He is. Will Reichard, Alabama, is probably the next guy on the list.

Don't know. But no, I wouldn't even consider drafting a kicker before the fifth round.

I'm concerned about next weekend, not the draft. Gotta at least take look at options.
Exactly after all this hard work McaVay/Raheim and LaFleur has done I would hate to lose bc we can't get a passable kicker. Why the hell cand the STs Coordinator find one isn't that his job to know options outside of our own organization that Les can tap into?

Well ? I guess there’s a little cause for concern.

Just curious if Burns keeps his job next season.That Baltimore TD wasn’t good.Either was this last one against the Giants.

My GF was like get him & I was WTF chill.There’s no way he is getting through all those players.Next thing you know,I was glad I just watched keeping my Man Card.

Still The Rams won more than they lost,but THE WORST GROUP of SPECIAL TEAMS I can remember. When the question was what was your favorite Rams Team. I’d say this Special Teams Group has been Pretty Bad.

Ethan Evans is special & Burns (?) found him. Still IMO Maher will be okay Sunday!!

Does anyone actually think that the Rams haven’t researched every option?
Of course they have.
They had Crosby, and clearly saw what we saw when he missed horribly against us. And he missed another yesterday.
I’m certain they’ve done their due diligence and the guys who haven’t signed, I’m assuming they have good reason

rams' fans! we are lucky to be in the playoffs with our special teams play that we have endured all year. we all know that if we are going to lose it will be because of giving up big pass plays or our special teams. been that way all year. glad we are here but I'm not going to cry to hard when we lose the game on a missed extra point, field goal or 60-yard pass completion at any point this playoff season. gotta figure McSneed doesn't like it either and unless one of us on here has game (that would be a good movie) and was hiding their talent it is what it is. go rams.

He’s an ex-9er with no ring. Let’s keep it that way.

Day 3 is a good spot to find a kicker. Zuerline was a 6th round pick if I remember. He had some good years up till the 2019 season where he missed a kick against Seattle that woulda given us 10 wins and a playoff spot. He was clutch in the NFCCG vs New Orleans.
