The Los Angeles Rams' kicking issues are now a thing of the past
WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. After making the move to replace Joshua Karty with Harrison Mevis, the Los Angeles Rams' kicking operation has been flawless. After fixing their issues, the Rams have remained undefeated.
Mevis and his up-and-out approach with his kicks has given the Rams a sense of stability after a rocky start to the season. McVay was asked about the emotional regulation of Mevis' play. “Yeah, it's a good way to put it," stated McVay. "Emotional regulation, like the opposite of me, huh? He's been steady and I think when you look at his career at Missouri and even some of the circumstances in the UFL, he's been a cool customer. He comes in and goes to work. I think he feels very grateful. You could see there's probably a healthy perspective that allows him to realize this is a blessing, it's never a burden."

He’s made all 13 of the attempts that he's had up to this point and I think that's a credit to Jake and Ethan and the protection as well. It was good to be able to get off a couple of those field goal opportunities because other than that, it's been exclusively extra points. Him being able to hit the one from 40 and then for 52, , I think that's great for that overall operation. I was really happy for him. It's awesome.”“I thought it was good," stated McVay. " McCollum's one of the guys that does a really good job of bending the edge. He did a nice job, but the timing ended up beating it on the one 52-yarder that he had."

I think a lot of the work that the guys have put in behind the scenes… what's refreshing is that you're starting to see that translate for successful outcomes. I think the confidence is compounding and we want to continue to build on that.”While Mevis does appear to be the Rams kicker of the future, the Rams remain committed to Joshua Karty. While they did have to waive him from the roster in order to bring back some of their other players coming back from injured reserve, the Rams will re-sign him if he clears waivers.

I want to see what's best for Josh, first and foremost, even if that doesn't necessarily suit the Rams because of the appreciation I have for the human being. I'm certainly hopeful that the journey does continue with us in that capacity if that's something that works out for us.” Never again miss one major story related to your beloved Rams when you sign up for our 100% FREE newsletter that comes straight to your email with the latest news.Brock Vierra, a UNLV graduate, is the Los Angeles Rams Beat Writer On Sports Illustrated.
