FEATURE Davante Adams to LA

[Elmgrovegnome]

Maybe Davante can teach Tutu how to get off the LOS cleanly. That would be a big development.

Yep. Stafford needs to be able to hand off to a dude defenses are scared of.

Adding Adams certainly helps the explosives that are lacking. Adams can still scare DB’s.

Defenses don’t want to tackle Nacua so that works.

Our TE’s aren’t scary at all.

Kyren is a good back but no one is scared of him. He runs hard but not exactly punishing and he can’t run away from the defense. A good back. This offense needs a great back to take a bit of pressure off Stafford’s arm to do everything.

So yeah, BPA. If it’s an elite RB I’d pull the trigger. Probably won’t line up that way though. TE looks like the more likely BPA.

Kyren is amazing at grinding down defenses.
So... draft an Omarion or Tuten, run them in the 1st half, blow up the scoreboard with them + puka / adams, and then grind them down with Kyren in the 2nd half.
Championship. No blue font.

I'm not even kidding, I had a dream last season and was hanging with Davante and told him *Man, we need you a Ram" and he responded with "I will be ."

You probably dreamed he was a Hawkeye & they won a National Championship as well.Now I’m kidding,but that Adam’s vibe was out there.
—You know what’s funny though,before he signed with The Rams all The Tutu Atwell Haters were out.

It sure would be! ~ @Allen2McVay

sort of funny, Don’t think it would fit Adam’s or Byron Young has a cool number!!

If The Rams Drafted some Big OT he couldn’t wear The D’Wild Card number.Isn’t there some kind of RULE about that ? Maybe he’d just have to report in every time.From time to time he could catch a 2 point conversion or blow somebody up from the FB position.

Makes me think though.Mcvay talked about Kevin Dotson going viral when he BLEW UP to 9ers(pancaked)on 1 play!! That would be seriously funny(great) though if BIG69 was playing FB!!

Hate to admit I was wrong about being a numbers guy.What was Kupp’s first number as a Ram ??
I believe he wore it in his first SB?

SBJ69 wore the number well.I remember when he freaking dropped Jared Goff in a practice.It was like what the F’ are you doing?
Will be interesting to see how things play out.

What a Hater!! I guess you didn’t like the signing LMAO !! There was this Rams Fan lady.She was cool,pickleball story,but was in a Ram video she said(rammit???).The thing that stood out was her love for Tutu.
Glad he resigned & he will add to the offense.His last catch as a Ram was pretty big time.IMO he will have a somewhat of a breakout season. 700 plus yards.

The Jet Sweep will be back in 2025,for some reason it was missing in 2024.Use to be a bread & butter staple of Mcvays.The Tavon days.Tutu is such a better WR.His catch radius is over looked.

After which I am guessing you ate some taco bell at his house.

Definitely not a fan of this signing. I don't think DA is worth what they're paying him. No doubt he still has something in the tank but for how long? He's older than kupp and arguably has more miles on his legs. Not sure what the rams are seeing from him but I'll trust their process. I just hope he's not another tre white.

You need better dreams.

Maybe spend a little more time on the Boobie and Booty threads.

Absolutely!

Love the signing and have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it this morning. Looks like Snead and the Rams are going all in for a Superbowl run this season.

White was working back from a major injury, and had a history of injuries.

Adams has been healthier than both White and Kupp. Since '21 he's only missed 3 games. They just happened to be right before he was traded, it's possible the Raiders shelved him while shopping him.

Well, Adams has been far more durable and very productive. The age difference is six months. Adams may also complement Nacua more than Kupp. And a $14M cap hit in 2025 is not too onerous.

I have this fear regarding Dre Greenlaw if we do go after him but not with Adams. DA was still consistently playing like a top wideout last season. I'd put him as a borderline #1 WR still but he's going to be the #2 here and frankly we're paying him that way in this new salary cap era. I'm good with the signing. The fewest games DA has played in a year in his career has been 12 so should be able to rely on him.

There is certainly some risk with his age. I also think he's a bit of a diva in that when shit isn't what he wants it to be he shuts down, which is why I don't like him and why I didn't think we'd pursue him.

But he's a plug 'n play addition at a position Sean & Les have not been very good at drafting. And they will probably add a slot weapon (TE or WR) to ensure they have the depth of threats for the pass game so Stafford doesn't need to manufacture completions as often. Him being able to trust going through his reads like he did during that brief stretch when he had Kupp, Nacua, and OBJ should be the goal.

It's really a damn shame they couldn't get Evans done the other offseason. But they have had a speed threat problem for years now so step one to fixing that is rolling the dice a bit.

I was hoping for more of a youth movement on offense, but at least it's basically a one year deal.

 

[Ram65]

What's not to like about getting Adams?

Looking forward to better protection with the O Line having a season together and LImmer improving. Stafford will be slinging it again with another great option.

They are eliminating major needs in the best possible way. The defense is ready now. The offense only has a few questions. I think this is a perfect move for the situation.

Agreed, on Greenlaw. If he stays healthy he could be a huge signing for any team. But who knows if he can stay healthy.

lol. I don't really mind the signing I just don't like the $$$, but again I'll trust the Rams staff over my opinion.

Nah no worries, just giving you crap for the hell of it. Whether or not anyone here loves or hates the trade, not like that changes who the Rams do or don't sign.
