Some of us have a question we would like you to answer:
The Los Angeles Rams have only lost two games over the first nine weeks of the season, but the way they're losing is more than concerning. In week 9 we are in the exact same spot. In 2025 we are in the exact same spot as 2023. This is not getting better so make drastic changes before the playoffs.
The problem is that blocking for place kicking is failing miserably. These two losses in 2025 can be directly traced back to the failure of blocking schemes whenever kicker Joshua Karty takes the field. All of this is no surprise as all of this can be traced back directly back 2023 where the Rams had a historically bad special teams unit.
Although Chase Blackburn’s unit improved in the final month or so of that season. as of January of 2024 the Rams had the sixth lowest Defense-Adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA) not just in the league, but of all time. Yes-all time in the history of the NFL records. This DVOA was 3 times worse then the 31st ranked special teams unit the Patriots, Sean why did you keep Chase Blackman after this historically bad performance? I thought you hold people accountable-maybe this is the players not "your" coaches.
The Achilles heal of this team is special teams going all the way back to 2023 when Chase Blackburn was in charge. -why have you not taken drastic steps to improve it?
