Love Brett, he knows his football even though I don’t agree with him 100% (but do you have to contrary to what today’s American culture tells you?) most times I generally do.

Hell everybody has play to be wrong, biggest question is how little of a window are those amount of times and how fast are you at realizing those fallacies and fixing them?

Would not hurt my feelings one bit! If he stays healthy (biggest thing) McVay might make him a star as well!

It would make me really happy to see a healthy Kupp, a healthy Nacua, and a healthy Whittington all kicking ass and taking names - and that’s before including Parkinson, Allen, Higbeast, Robinson, Atwell, Johnson, and the running backs in K-Will and Corum.

Actually ... missed it by 47 minutes.

Honestly, if Allen and Whittington can find a way to do even half of what Higbee and Nacua did the year before this offense is going to be running on all cylinders considering our O-Line and 2 star RB’s!

I’m really thinking Higbee wont be back to full form until the end of this year unfortunately. Hopefully Allen and Parkinson can pick it up.

Really not worried about the offense at all. More worried about the defense and how that gels.

Rams WR Puka Nacua 'not really' feeling pressure to follow up record-setting rookie season​

Published: May 16, 2024 at 06:07 PM







Puka Nacua had one of the finest rookie campaigns in NFL chronicle.

The statistics and his impact on the Los Angeles Rams returning to the postseason speak to that.
With a much-anticipated sophomore season ahead, Nacua isn't feeling any pressure to duplicate his overwhelming success, though, but rather viewing it as a challenge.

"No, not really," Nacua said on NFL Network's Schedule Release '24 Wednesday night when asked about feeling pressure going into Year 2. "Every week presented a different challenge and who we were playing against and also just trying to make sure I could prepare myself the best way to be able to be there on Sunday and perform my best. I think coming into this year, I think it definitely presents a challenge of just trying to reset the standard. Last year, from what I put on tape and tried to improve in the ways I know I'm capable of and then being there for my team in every which way coach [Sean] McVay asks a lot of us from the offensive side of the ball. I'm super excited for the challenges that come up this year."

​

Selected No. 177 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, Nacua produced like no wide receiver prospect before him, concluding his first season with rookie records of 105 receptions and 1,486 yards. His catches stood as the ninth-most in the NFL, with his yardage total weighing in at fourth. Thus, replicating such impressive numbers is no easy feat regardless of it being his second year, one in which defenses will be more familiar with him.

Nonetheless, Nacua is already putting in the work in the hopes of improving his craft.

He'll get his first chance to show off any improvement in a Week 1 matchup that’s drawn plenty of hype already as the Rams are set to face the host Detroit Lions to open the season. The Lions eliminated the Rams in a 24-23 nail-biter during last season's Super Wild Card Round.
Much of the pregame attention surrounded quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff playing their former squads. That same storyline will be popular again, but Nacua was a star in the Rams' losing cause. He caught nine balls from Stafford for 181 yards and with a 50-yard touchdown reception.

Nacua's already pumped for a Motown return.

"Oh man, that was so exciting when we got that news the other day," Nacua said. "I almost didn't get any sleep. I was just thinking about, man, all the plays that we are getting ready to improve on and being able to be back in Detroit is going to be a fun one in Week 1."

For Nacua and the Rams, they will play back-to-back games at Detroit. The season won't be on the line this time, but the young wideout and his squad are no doubt hoping to fly back with victory to celebrate this time around.

"The Week 1 is a big one for us and obviously that's the game we get to play first," he said, "but man going out there to Detroit is going to be a fun one."

They should've thrown in the Detroit no-call at the end of that highlight video, just to serve as a point.

I wasn't sure if Puka broke the record by eating those tasty-looking meals.

That was an excellent video analysis of Puka and Stafford working together. It is hard to believe how fast he picked everything up. A better version of Robert Woods. I'll take it.

He broke it with pure sexy
