Hell yeaa brother. The goat Spencer Shrader if he didnt miss the PAT on the opening drive in week1, he'd be perfect!

I think we got a real shot to go 14-3 with Shraders leg carrying the team

I know a lot of it is tongue in cheek in contrast to our middling team.

But I am legit happy he has turned into a top 3 kicker. Its such a relief when you got money in the bank

Ballard might be out the door but atleast he found us a K that will be here for a decade.

Special Teams might be Ballard’s strongest and most consistent position group, even factoring in the kickers we’ve gone through the last few seasons. 

Sanchez is a weapon on punts, Rhodes you never hear about which is probably a good thing for a long snapper, the acquisition of Dulin at gunner through FA, we had a bit of a revolving door at placekicker but the churn hasn’t been nearly as it’s been for other positions, and even when PK was the weakest link of the group the guys we’ve had back there, they weren’t completely putrid, league average at worst?

Shame the GM has to draft a whole rest of the team because if this were a report card I’d say Ballard gets a B+ on special teams rostering.

Shrader owner. I approve this message.

Side note: Grupe got signed to the Rams after their kicker blew it last night.

Trust me, I was prepared after I heard Shrader was kicking 60s after tearing his ACL & MCL because of the raiders last year...

Also I explicitly put Jaylen Warren in this week because I knew who he was playing against LOL

This man has come back as Thanos of kickers. Brandon Aubrey WHO!? Cam little WHO!?

SPENCER SHRADER!!!!

Lol you played against someone with tank dell, hall and Hubbard on their lineup, good moves but probably didn’t matter much who you were starting this week haha

Schrader is a boss! Love his bounce back from his knee injury last year.

Good for my fantasy team. Bad for the Colts.

Now that the Rams fired their kicker and now are in the market for a new one can they sign Grupe of our practice squad?

You didn’t know the Colts waived him?

The Jets pick him up and ended up putting him on their practice squad.

The Rams signed him off the Jets PS today.

u/Trashpanda1980 1d ago

Saw the comment about it. For some reason I thought we signed him to the practice squad

Hell no! I can stand no more of this team being built by that idiot. A decade has been long enough. Blow it up!

Someone drafted Shrader to their fantasy team and it shows. 🤪

We’ve been a top tier kicking team for decades, nice to see Spence in the mix.
