Remember a few weeks ago, his injury? Maybe the injury itself is an issue not being reported or, the response to the injury/recovery are affecting his process.

I think he/Rams figure it out and he becomes the Kicker we need.
He's a rookie on a team that's had big issues all over. Let's give him a chance.

Thought he injured it in the preseason and that even though I want to give him a free pass in being a rookie. Kind of wonder if Evans also the holder may had something to do with Joshua missing kicks.
You know also while he is focus on handling just extra points and field goals due to the disastrous 2023 with Brett Maher and Lucas Harsvik combined. That was worst in the league, and having him just focus on that for the time being.
Could be either the injury or the effects, or Evans holding, or maybe both. Or just to name a few.

Larry hadn’t been on the injury report since week 3.

I know since he’s on my Fantasy team and about to cut his ass.

Kardy? Yeah he's been talked about by McVay for the last few weeks, two weeks ago he didn't kick at all in the week leading up to the game. Not sure about this week, didn't read anything on it nor did I read he was clear of the injury.
 
I always say these guys are like mythical beasts you don't want to focus on too much. They're fuckin unicorns man. I feel like you need to look at them out of the corner of your eye and hope one day you wake up and suddenly the dude is Lansford or GZ and you're good to go.

I mean only a couple weeks ago I erred by commenting on how straight his ball is when he kicks. Feel like I jinxed him or something.

So let's talk about tits and ass instead. :hug:

Yes, it's very, very hard. And he's a rookie adjusting to the NFL who might be dealing with an injury. Expect some hiccups. Hopefully, it doesn't shake his confidence. Because he has the potential to be great. The Bucs gave up on Matt Gay after a shaky rookie year, and he ended up becoming a stud for us. So let's have some patience.

Tampa cut Matt Gay a few years ago because he was having trouble as a young kicker.
Id say stick with Karty, he did very well to start the season.
Almost all rookie kickers go through a slump at some point.
 
Think how difficult golf is. The ball just sits there, doesn't move. Everyone's quiet, so no distractions, But most people who play stink. Even the pros have problems.

A kicker has to contend with the snap, the hold, timing it right while swinging his club (leg). Not to mention 11 mean dudes running at him trying to block it.

If it were so easy, a good one wouldn't be so hard to find.

It is difficult and he's a rookie. He was one of the main reasons we beat the Whiners this year too. Got to give the kid a little slack.

Yes it is hard or anyone could do it.
Not worried about this kid. anyone can have a bad game.
Stafford did and he is a stud. Not worried about him either.

Dicker the kicker 5 for 5 tonight including one from 59.:explode1:
 
Our high school kicker is very good. His extra points and field goals are always spot on and travel way past the goal posts. 50% of his kickoffs are touchbacks. He even placed top five in some National kicking competitions. He makes it look easy. He hasn't had a single college recruit him, even as a walk-on. So, I will just say I don't understand kicking, because I was sure he'd be recruited by some school. There has to be more to it.
