Havrisik, from Riverside, has never kicked in an NFL regular-season game, but the Rams like his leg strength and his potential to be their answer at kicker.
Lucas Havrisik, pictured in August as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, is taking over as the Rams’ kicker this week. THOUSAND OAKS — After his 1-for-3 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped Brett Maher to 10 for 16 on field-goal attempts of 40 yards or longer this season, the Rams decided they had to make a change. Such is the landscape for NFL kickers, with margins for mistakes so small.
Rams special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn said Thursday the time was right to make a move at kicker after the Steelers game, and said he was encouraged after seeing Havrisik practice with the team for the first time Wednesday. “That’s what you’re really hoping to find in a young guy like Lucas, that he can come and the moment’s not too big,” Blackburn said. “If he can do that, stay in the right mental space with the ball flight and the ball he hits and his leg strength, there’s a ton of upside with that kid.”
“It feels great,” Havrisik said. “It was kind of weird flying in because I was like, I haven’t been to California in like six years. I don’t really come back. I was like, ‘Man, this is nice.’”
