Over the past few weeks, the Los Angeles Rams have been looking for a solution to their kicking problems because their current kicker, Lucas Havrisik, has been having consistency issues.

Havrisik, who was brought in midway through the season to take Brett Maher’s position, has hit 15 of his 20 field goals but is only 2 of 6 from 40–49 yards, missing three in a row, and is 2 of 3 from 50 yards and beyond.

Despite this, Rams head coach Sean McVay remains confident in his kicker and has chosen to examine the situation holistically rather than focusing solely on Havrisik.

Snap, hold, and kick is how the entire procedure is done, and it should be noted that having Alex Ward makes a significant difference because he’s done a really nice job.

Therefore, each of those items is necessary. I am aware that everyone wants to pin it on the kicker.

In order to provide some competition at the position, the Rams altered their operation by adding long snapper Alex Matheson to the practice squad.
