LA Rams pull the trigger on upgrading the kicking game, signing former Dallas kicker Kai Forbath
The LA Rams had seen enough. After a confusing kicker competition for their field goal kicker resulted in the Rams choosing drafted kicker Sam Sloman, the results have been disappointing. That should not have surprised anyone, as all reports about the kicker competition between Lirim Hajrullahu, Austin MacGinness, and Sam Sloman scored Sloman as a distant third.
Kicker numbers just from scrimmages at SoFi, for clarification:
MacGinnis: 10/13, 53-yard long (1/2)
Hajrullahu: 10/13, 53-yard long (1/2)
Sloman: 7/13, 53-yard long (2/2)The kickers also worked in some practice situations, of which we weren’t always able to see.
