Rams kicker Joshua Karty talks about kicking the game-winner to beat the Dallas Cowboys

your character can you take us through first of all the exhilaration of of the extra point game winning extra point but then also kind of still troubleshooting some things you want to work on yeah definitely so I mean there's there's multiple parts to my game there's there's field goals there's also kickoffs and they're both important plays and in the game of football uh we executed the extra point super well as the team and then you know I had to stay locked in for the kickoff too and uh you know it's just something to improve on and uh everything's a learning experience got better today and uh just excited to move forward and and get better next week how was it to get with the regulation uprights after yeah uh you know it was a lot of fun it's a lot of fun kicking with high uprights and Targets in the background and and uh you know at SOI too uh first time playing here it was a lot of fun what's going through your mind first K uh yeah definitely uh you know pretty much like always there's a lot of wh ifs and then I'm just you know just going through my routine over and over and over again uh in my head and I get out there and then I go through my routine for the final time and uh I try and think just as much about that as possible in my cues and then uh I might head to the water the zone you had obviously experience with the new kickoff format in the joint practices and ring it in practice obviously but what was it like getting the chance to do it in in a live game setting like this yeah I honestly didn't really experience too much uh of the new kickoff rule today uh we were just in deep balls for the most part part so can't answer too much on that to be honest um I believe it I believe it's you you can't see that far away but after practice uh earlier this week saw you kind of on the far field going through some of your motion without a ball but just sort of the pre like the the Readiness of it and maybe visualizing a little bit um why do you do that and and what does that help for you yeah that's probably a couple days ago I go through my walkthr routine and uh I just like to be off on my own go through my process over and over and over again uh it's a little a little bit of visualization as well but uh just to try and repeat the process over and over and over again so that like in moments today when you need an extra point to win the game that you can think about the same process uh hopefully more easily I know wasn't a regular season game but your first professional opportunity um to be lining up for a game-winning Ki W what was going through your mind at that point yeah uh it was a lot of fun it was very loud after the touchdown uh haven't really experienced that before much in my career and uh it it was you know same thing as normal though just trying to Rally the guys in get them ready for the extra point instead of celebrating the touchdown um make sure we don't you know run out of time on the on the play clock and then uh yeah you know same thing as always do you keep and throughout your career when you've had game winning kicks do you keep the ball do anything special with it or not really oh uh I think I think the ball boys or or the EQ guys in in college a couple times kept the ball for me uh I have no idea what happens to it though usually it's out of my control um just you know celebrate with the guys pretty much um did family here watching your debut yep my mom and dad came from North Carolina we saw the video of your mom after the draft and she was so excited that she's wearing Rams horns she was so excited that it would be the ram so for them how cool is this maybe to see this manifest and see you in uniform down there oh yeah no no they're super happy and I have the best supporting system with my parents and couldn't ask for anything better and and they're here every step of the way for me thanks Jos thank you J
