How is this possible?

I think some people are missing the point here….

I guess I always took it for granted that teams know their personel and what happens if a kicker gets injured. 

 

Apparently we had never even addressed it. Tall about a poo show. 

If this is true, WTF! What happened Rhule’s “positionless player” bullish!t?

[Billy Love]

It’s hard to have a “next man up” mentality when the coaching staff doesn’t know who the next man is, and in this case they don’t even know IF they have a next man. This is some bad news bears type poo. Totally embarrassing and if if we’re Tepper I would find this one event totally unacceptable as a professional coach.

In Chase's defense, he hadn't been able to train up a placekicker until we got Gonzalez this year. I thought we were going to get to the point where we were going to have to call a Grammatica at some point.

Chase apparently teaches guys how to run down the field on ST.

That's it.

No kicking improvement. No punting training. No tackling. Not much on blocking.

Why is he our ST coach again? Continuity?

Former Defensive Tackle Tony Siragusa used to play around before games kicking FG's and was able to split the uprights from 50 yards out...........

You'd think that some other players could have or might have done such things..........

Maybe because we are fans of seemingly the only team in NFL history to give two kickers a jersey on game days. The kicker (Kasay) and then the kickoff specialist (Lloyd). So we are used to being spoiled on that front.

Maybe this is how...

I know nobody here  pays attention to anything,  but the kicking coach h is the one who is at fault here. The ST coach just assumed we had a plan.

I’m not a Rhule fan per say… I’m a fan of wanting to establish a consistent winner.

Consistent losing speaks for itself.

Hey genius. How many football games have you watched, and how many times has this happened. If you post like it’s a general occurrence to fit your fire Rhule narrative, fine. Say that. You have a punter who is punter specific, it’s the risk you run. Deal with it. 

There is one kicker per team (or punter, for that matter). It's not rocket science to think that it's a good idea to spend 15 minutes at practice one day to have a backup plan in place should that person not be able to fulfill their duties at any time for any reason. Hell, most teams have at least 3 QBs on their roster and still know who their emergency QB would be if all 3 go down.

Chase Blackburn can barely spell his own name and you expect him to have a basic contingency plan in place?

lol

And I remember St Louis going for 2 after every TD because the kicker went down.

I remember that too, because I was playing a guy that had some Rams on his fantasy squad. 

[Icege]

can we talk about how this staff moved on from Charlton for Edwards? Charlton wasn't exactly killing it, but Edwards has sucked.

@beois it can it be Matt Araiza time now?

No he’s mad because he is a Rhule fan.

Couldnt it be both though?   Hes mad because hes a Rhule fan and some are making it a bigger thing because they want Rhule gone.  Most answers are somewhere in the middle.
