The Rams' decision to release kicker Harrison Mevis will likely be met with frustration from fans who had high hopes for the 'Thiccer Kicker'. Mevis's struggles in the loss to the Bills ultimately led to his release.

The Rams had invested in Mevis, who once auditioned for Tyler Bass's job with the Bills. However, his performance on Monday Night Football sealed his fate.

The decision to sign kicker Parker Grupe from the Jets in his place suggests that the Rams are looking for a fresh start in the special teams department. But can the Rams' special teams woes be fully addressed with just one move?
