I'd expect Fergs targets to equal or surpass Park this year.

My hope is Mcvay is just as unpredictable on offense this year as he was on defense last week.

The Ferg drop last week was disappointing but the big gain for a first down where he straight armed a guy showed a dynamic player.

I'm hoping Puka is used less in the run game as his availability in the pass game is critical.

Let Smith and Mumfield throw their bodies around more.

Ferg has untapped potential. As he continues to improve and less balls hit the ground he'll become a fixture in the top 3. Another poster mentioned using Higbee more while he's healthy. Agree 100%. the next three games need the best performing the best to come away over .500. As always JMO.

The next 3 games allow the Rams to figure out their TEs, pass rush depth, run game ceiling, and STs needs against the best NFL competition. i’m not looking for 3 wins as much as I’m looking for their ability to compete with the best and improve in all areas of deficiency.

I would jump at 2-1 these next 3 weeks. Then our schedule lightens up a bit.

I did this awile a while ago and never posted it. Now that Whitt is back, it's still interesting numbers. Whitt is used more for the run game which will be important this week. Mumpfield had had 43 snaps a with half divided in routes and blocking. Those two can stay fresh in the thin air. I wonder if they sit Tutu with Whitt coming back.

I think it's better to sit Whitt and bring Daniels on the scene. Also with Tutu's speed how about using him underneath on clearing routes???

McVay likes Whitt for his blocking ability, so I think he goes with him. I would like to see Tutu as well. It comes down to blocking at WR. Tutu does OK, even good on the edge and downfield screening off defenders. He can't do the inline blocking McVay wants from his WRs. I don't know how McVay rates Daniels overall ability. It could be next year or later this year because he is a rookie.

I get it. I guess ot comes down to how healthy he is but since McVay has embraced 13p, it seems Whitt's opportunities have diminished.

When it comes to Daniels, I think it a matter of experience against the competition the Rams have faced.

Fact is, Tutu DOES block. Obviously, he's not going to be as impactful as others, but he will get in there and get in the way.

There is something deeper to the McVay/Tutu relationship that we are not privy to.

They did cut Whits' plays down, or at least targets with 13P. I think they also started going to Mumpfield more.

Given the high altitude, keeping Tutu activated makes sense. It would keep the WR rotation fresh and the thin air could give Stafford the extra carry he needs to connect with Tutu on those deep shots downfield.
 
No Puka No Atwell No Daniels

Then McVay needs to let Tutu go. I know Tutu is a weapon. My eyes have seen it. Not using him when he is healthy is frustrating to watch.

FWIW, there are 17 receivers with 200 yards receiving through 3 weeks. At #3, 34 year old Davante Adams has the #2 YPC average among them (19.9) second only to Zay Flowers (23.2).

We lead the league in shit ass WRs on the depth chart who can't contribute positively to special teams. And the blame for that is McVay and how he stacks his roster. It's always upside over special teams potency. And I am goddamn fucking tired of it. At some point, as smart as he is, he has to realize what he's doing and begin unfucking it.

Also here's hoping Klare starts getting looks in this offense. Of all these TEs he is the one who has the smoothness and intelligence in the pattern to function as the safety blanket Stafford requires in this attack. Working him into shape for that role should be a priority at this point, given Ferguson probably looking at missing time ahead.

Then we have to deal with the the Whittingtons and Xavier Smiths of the world, who time and time again, just suck. Why not elevate Presley and give hi. A shot?
