Rams

Rams kickers Brett Maher and Lucas Havrisik have missed 11 field goal attempts so far this year. Sean McVay admitted their struggles with converting kicks have impacted how they address third- and fourth-down situations. 

“It does. It’s something that – I was talking about it and there were some opportunities that you have to be considerate of. All right, are you operating in four down territory? Maybe different than what you had in previous situations,” McVay said, via RamsWire. “So I think you have to continue to monitor the ability to execute at a high level and if not, then maybe you’re saying, hey, we’re operating with a different mode and mindset. And so those are things that we’ll definitely have to identify and especially when every single game matters so much and points are at a premium and you’d like to be able to finish these drives where you’re just hopefully kicking extra points. But it certainly is something that comes into the thought process, especially given the things that you mentioned.”

Seahawks
