Cooper Kupp is a boss

[A.J. Hicks]

I've been talking him up so much around my buddies and my wife. My buddies all thought I was crazy, until they witnessed yesterday.

My wife drafted him in fantasy, but started Sammy Watkins ahead of him.

Very unlikely he'll lead the league in receptions the way McVay spreads the ball around btw. Should be around that 60-70 reception range though which would be an oustanding total for a rook.

I'm thinking the same thing. I can see us having one 1,000 yard receiver and a bunch of 700-800 yard receivers. I mean we had like 35 receivers Sunday with 50 yards.

Reminds me a little of a young Fitzgerald that way. Always knew where to be, had a great feel for angles and coverage etc. Oh, and they both caught just about everything thrown their way.

And neither are the fastest guys on the field, yet are seemingly always open. Fitz was one of the best route runners of all time in his prime.

6. COOPER KUPP, WR, LOS ANGELES RAMS
(Overall grade: 75.9; season snap count: 39)

Kupp ranked 20th among receivers this week in terms of overall grade, with his 79.5 receiving grade ranking 13th. The former FCS star ranked fourth this week among all receivers with a 149.3 WR Rating (a QBs passing rating when he’s targeted) after he hauled in four of six targets (one of those incompletions was a drop, however) for 76 yards and a touchdown; and his average of 3.17 yards per route run (total yards divided by the number of routes run) ranked seventh.

As good as Kupp was it is hard to beat Kareem Hunts first game performance.

I thoughtfully Kupp was good enough that a smart drafting team like GB might make him a first round pick. I can't believe he lasted until round 3.

Speakin of guys @jrry32 had a boner for before the draft, TJ Watt beasted like a MFer too. Man that dude looked good in the Steelers' defense.

TJ was the defensive pick I REALLY wanted. He just had NFL lock written all over him.

I like this comment out of Indy:

Oh, and Green was in coverage on Rams receiver Cooper Kupp’s 18-yard TD catch that gave the Rams a 24-3 lead. At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Kupp ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds. Green ran it in 4.34 seconds. On the touchdown in question, Kupp was wide open because he was running away from Green.

Yikes!

The Indianapolis Colts stink, and not just the players on the field for that 46-9 loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Rams in their 2017 NFL opener. The whole damn franchise stinks, starting with the owner and oozing downhill, as this sort of excrement tends to do.

The front office stinks. The coaching staff. The scouting department. The players? Bless their hearts, yes. The players stink, too.

A loss like this, a loss in need of a mercy rule given that one team belonged in Little League.

Pagano was looking for a personnel mismatch, and he found one: His personnel was outmatched.

Pagano outsmarted himself, the only NFL coach I’ve ever seen him outsmart.

@jrry32 missed on another prospect. Lol
Thinking he'll be a top pickup in FFB leagues
Cupp, not jrry
Haha

Yeah, I checked the wires this week and he's taken.

Kinda reminds me of some of the articles written by Rams reports over the past few years.

I feel their pain... we all know how much it sucks when your favorite teams just stinks.

Her's to hoping we are moving past that at light speed!

Watt will make the Pitt/Minn game very interesting!
