I'm beginning to think that between him and Kobie Turner.. Young might be the one to keep. He seems to keep getting better.

I watched it again, and I don’t think he was able to plant and jump up for it. He seemed to be almost falling back. But I do agree it did seem like it was a bit..lacking
I tend to forget how fast this kid really is. Because he looks like he isn't even trying, just loping out there, but he really is.
I'm also hoping to see what we have with Daniels, I think this kid can be special. Kinda like a better version of what we had with D-Robinson. But after what we saw with X. & Mumps, I'm thinking he could easily be WR3 while we wait for J.Whitt to come back. And I'm not so sure that J.Whitt would even get his spot back.
I think Tutu brings needed speed and route running.
He runs those out routes to perfection.
A good possibility- if the Rams win the Super Bowl and Donald and Garrett become a dynamic force, like we think they can

I wasn’t impressed with Stewart. If I recall correctly, he didn’t play very disciplined. Let go on a sack, missed setting the edge a bit, had the juice/just didn’t finish well.
I think AD is planning to play this year and one more. He looks exactly the same as when he left. Once he gets his legs under him, he'll be dominant once again.
It’s so hard to say that and miss out when it works. But I agree with the feeling.
He looks real consistent in his kicking motion. THE BEST miss kicks. To me it’s consistency and bounce back from misses. He seems tough that way and McVay said something about it in an article somewhere.
I want to love Evans but if I am being honest; what is his strength?
He’s got a strong leg but it’s not the strongest, is it?
His touch on dropping punts is average-ish. Not the first characteristic you think about describing him.
And Evans doesn't punt high enough, out kicking coverage WAYYYY too often.
Combine that with our lousy coverage teams, you get too many big returns.
If your coverage is bad, kick the damn thing high so the coverage gets there.
Sacrifice kicking distance for a better net and less risk of killer returns.

PS I say bring in Hekker for a tryout!
Smart, a lot of kick "weapons", great teammate and can pass!
He was a holder too, wasn't he?
Just thinking he seems to be enjoying it. He mentioned his kids are old enough to now understand football and will remember this. With the way McVay rests his vets, maybe win or lose this year, he comes back?
I also noticed that Stafford's extension seems to be set up to be a 2 yr deal where they take a huge cap hit if he retires after this year. Although not sure how much a retirement saves them in cap space, if anything vs a release.
So maybe they both could be back for one more run at a ring or a chance to run it back for back to back rings, if things go the way we want it to.
He didn’t even lay a finger on the receiver in coverage before he broke up the pass. Very impressive.
McVay not going to use Tutu when Puka comes back. Would expect him to be inactive.
I can't believe that X. Smith gets reps over Tutu - will never understand that.

After rewatching I realized what a great game McDuffie had. My favorite moment was when he slapped the ball out from underneath and sent it flying towards the opposite endzone. He's out there just toying with receivers.

I'm beginning to become aware STs are more of a science and less of an afterthought. There's a lot of components to get right. We haven't been any good at it since Bones.
That's why IMO, even with AD and Garrett in the lineup, you still send a 5th rusher at times and count on McDuffie and Watson to shut down the wideouts. With immense pressure coming, they won't have to run around with receivers for longer than 2-3 seconds.
…or since hekkar left. He used to keep us in games by pinning down an opponent inside the 15, often the 10. That guy knew how to put air under the ball so there was no return, or he just banged it out of bounds. He made it tough to get a decent return—if at all.
I have waited for Evans to come around but he hasn’t. He lacks consistency and technique. He simply hasn’t developed enough in the time he has been here.
