because as noted in the post below, the Rams STs have been in decline for a few years.
So why blame Snead? Because draft picks and depth vets are the cornerstones of STs (at least the coverage units) well, Snead gives up draft picks like they grow on trees and that forces lower draft picks into starting spots which further weakens your STs.
The reason the Rams had Kupp as a PR? Because who else is gonna do it. The Rams plan of paying lots of players big money means less depth or meaningful depth. Its why the Rams are so inactive in FA.
So fewer draft picks and lack of depth has slowly eroded the Rams STs and this is the result. Including not having the cash to pay GZ.
Obviously. I'm not advocating firing Snead, but at the same time, this is not all Bonamego's fault. And I guarantee you he didn't have final say on which kickers the Rams keep or cut. He has say, but he doesn't sign and cut.
