The RAMS Forum

He’s had too many misses and McVay doesn’t trust him to kick really long ones. And lot of times the blocked kicks are on the kicker for kicking it too low.

The usual suspects that have ran their mouths about Karty. He’s not an elite kicker. I wouldn’t even say he’s good.

That kick was going to miss left, watch the reply from the front camera shot. Dude looks timid when he's kicking.

Oh gosh. It was special teams OL. Karty is awesome. You must have watched a different game

That wasn't on Karty the line got blown up. Especially the 2nd one.

McVay redzone struggles and Staffords off game didn't help. And the defense just wasn't up to par in the 2nd half.

It was a 44 yard field goal, not a 65 yard field goal. A little air under the ball, he shrinks under pressure. 2 blocked field goals. Sounds like you watched a different game - the one I watched had a kicker miss to field goals that are made at the high school level consistently.

The Long Snapper blocked no one

Disgusting.

Looked like a fix is in play the blocking is that bad.

"VEGAS ASS PLAY"

If you think that was on Karty you know nothing about football

No way you put that on Karty, they blew right past the OL on both occasions.. rather pathetic at this level

Cut this mf! Now!

And fire Blackburn too! Fucking idiot!

It's the kicker's fault when the ball doesn't go through the uprights but is it the kicker's fault when the line breaks down and the kick gets blocked?

The kick is still coming out too low from the 44. It’s not from 50+ where you need a lower trajectory.

Most kick block teams get guys jumping that come close but don’t get the kick bc kickers kick them high.

Karty has had several blocked in his caree

I don't know.. those kickoffs were pretty amazing.

That ball came off his foot headed left

He kicked it right into the two guys

It’s my opinion it would’ve missed left had it got into the air

I’ll never know

I dont know what went wrong? Was it the long snapper? Maybe it wasn't his responsibility. Was it Karty kicking kicking too low? Was it the OL not blocking?

What a disaster on what should have been close to automatic.

Guys spread 3.5 Eagles up by 2 with one play left. a FG attempt after one jut blocked up the middle lets dl go up middle without being touched for a defensive td that miraculously covers the spread the only way possible. you would think after one middle blocked fg the ST would adjust and block up th middle... seems really fishy especially after watching that replay. all game the Refs made calls to keep it as close as possible...no pi cals on rams 2 complete BS 15 yard penalties the safety hit on the receiver that speard him with crown of helmet into defender back of shoulder... the Puka Flex that was legal all day but not when Rams could close out game.
Brown had 2 opi that were obvious.

Long snappers never block anyone. That’s not on him. The Eagles do block a lot of kicks, but I’m of the opinion that it’s on the kicker if you get them blocked inside the 45 bc if you have a leg you can kick it high and have it still get there.

The first one was even shorter. It’s inexcusable

Bottom line, we let them back in this game… and that’s on the coaching

Dudde the guy up the middle was unblocked after they just had a FG blocked up the middle... and somehow that miraculous 2nd blocked short FG scored a td for the home team that covered the vegas spread the only way that last play could have. the NFL is fixed

You would have thought Karty would have kicked it higher, after having the one blocked. I just dont get what happened.

Well it was shanked to the left anyway even if it got thru it appears

Maybe he was kicking it lower because it was a longer kick, also maybe he was a bit nervous

Keep your head up Cornell. This is a good learning experience for us. It’s early in the season. I actually think this is a good loss for us in a weird kind of way.

To blow a lead like that after halftime is inexcusable.

I don't know if kicking higher would have made a difference if the guy is basically right there in your face.

It is very suspicious. I have to agree.

Exactly

Yeah, I dont know. Never broke down a fg play. Something went wrong twice. Whatever went wrong the first time should have got cleaned up the second time.

Whatever it was, this should never happen.

A righty doesn't shank to the left...that's called a pull...and I sure as hell can't figure out how you can come to that conclusion from the couch.

Camera angles distort images...can't tell you how many times I have watched golf with the camera right behind the guy and it looks totally different than the outcome....that....and I'll add balls move in the air due to English on the ball. Granted it is usually right to left but some kickers have a left to right spin
