Cooper Kupp a dud this week...

[Mojo Ram]

Yeah I know, just forgot, long day. I tried going back in to edit my original post but with my limited computer/iPhone skills I almost deleted and rearranged half the post. So I gave up and left it as is and will get it correct next time, if there is a next time.

No harm done dude. You've got about 10 posts under your belt. Just wanted to let you know how that works.

It's all good. I'll be the bad guy....

Really doesn't matter

The Redskins are about to get their pants pulled down and bitch slapped simultaneously

 

[Realign]

No man, it's all good. I don't care about the correcting. My wife tells me my sarcastic side doesn't always come out real well, and she is never wrong, just ask her. I plan on future posts just not any that require blue font, probably. I'm out

One does not simply shut down Cooper Kupp.

There's no way they're gonna put Norman on kupp. He will be glued to Watkins.

I think they'd be doing Norman a disservice. He better matches up with Watkins. He doesn't strike me as a guy who will do well if asked to go into the slot and try to blanket a guy like Kupp. Reminds me of Welker giving prime Revis fits.

Well I hope he has a big game!! Obviously for the W most importantly, but also bc I have him as my starting flex lol. Should I reconsider and put in Cobb or Martavious Bryant instead?

Advice welcomed!

I have Kupp as my Wr3 as well. He's a must start until shown otherwise in my opinion.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Yup. Norman will totally be on Kupp instead of Watkins. I can see it.

I hope he is.

 

[RAMpage28]

Norman doesn't really shadow receivers as far as I know. He is a guy who takes a side of the field and tries to lock that side down. I did read that their new DC said that they would start shadowing guys now, but there is saying something and then there is actually doing it.

McVay should (hopefully) be able to scheme something up regardless. I like Woods on whoever they have as their 3rd corner regardless.

 

[Rainram]

With McVay's scheming, Watkins typically drawing primary DB responsibilities, and Kupp's route-running and hands, I won't be worries about Kupp most weeks.

Sammy Watkins was a huge find for us!!

I hope there are plenty of "next times".

 

[UKram]

MODS ....can you edit the title please .... the OP mispelt STUD

 

[BatteringRambo]

I'll say he's within 10 yards give or take and (within) 1 reception as well from week 1. Bank it. That also includes 1 receiving TD.

I know Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp still have to prove themselves further and the Rams got lucky and beat a terrible team in the Colts last weekend but I am thinking Cooper and Jared might have a pretty decent game this week as our boys come away with another convincing win against the redskins this week. Other "experts" think otherwise apparently. Just saw this on MSN and it's the only way I know how to post it.

Welcome aboard @Realign - I'm ok with ONE of our WRs having a dud week - we're no longer a one-trick-pony in that department though...

Apart from Kupp we have Watkins, Woods, Austin, Everett, Reynolds and Gurley that are also big threats when catching the ball - it's nice to see a Ram QB have so many options!

 

[Big Game]

Many writers and fans of the other team said similar statements last week. Then 46-9 happened :blah::yess::mrburnsevil:

Just go win Rams and we will shut them up for at least another week. ball:

 

[FrantikRam]

Redskins defense is much, much better than the Colts defense. They have better pass rushers and better corners.

IMO we will have to be able to establish he run if we want to be able to move the ball consistently - McVay knowing them will help, but IMO we will still need to establish the run in this game.

 

[96GS#007]

The previous 26 years have been mostly horrendous football and many of the last 10 years were putrid. Makes it really simple to make these "predictions". Waaaaaay too many writers just hit the Easy button since they're basically playing the odds. Only way to change that is for the team (or a given player) to consistently prove them wrong.

Going into the '99 season there was cautious optimism from the fans and local press but most of the "national media" didn't climb aboard until after the first 49er game.
