Kupp has “low ankle sprain”

[jrry32]

I honestly think the offense has looked better/more consistent in Kupp’s absence. He just hasn’t looked 100% to me this season. Who knows just how that hammy is feeling from week to week. They can be a nightmare. You think you’re ok and then one cut or sprint and it starts all over again. He’s seemed tentative and slow.

Yesterday was the first time the Rams really targeted Atwell when Kupp is in the lineup. The Rams should try to push the deep ball to Atwell once a quarter. Yesterday was the first time I’ve seen him drop a catchable pass (he’s usually very sure handed) and he’s about the fastest guy out there.

He seems a step slower, and him and Stafford just aren't mentally in sync.

Do you remember what Hall of Fame WR Charley Taylor did every time he scored a touchdown?

I liked the early guys mainly because they were "different'" These days they're all the same. I didn't even like Gastineau's sack dance.

I hope Kupp comes back from his injury to continue his greatness. He doesn't have to be record setting like in 2021, that's looking like a 1-time thing. Just bring his game and start hanging onto passes again.

At this point Kupp should be a complementary piece in the Offense. Don't need 10 catches and 150 yards every game. Converting 3rd downs and scoring TD's in the redzone should be the focus. Oh and get some TE's who block and stop asking him to block defensive ends already.

Sit him, he can't seem to catch a cold lately. One of my favorite all-time Rams but damn his play has been disappointing since returning, minus the 1st 2 games back (he even dropped multiple passes in those games as well). Trammel displayed a twitchiness to him and would like to see more of him going forward.

I think he sees spot play basically on a snap count. They will need him more against the Browns and especially the Ravens. The Rams need to simply not give the game away when playing teams like the Cards and Browns. The only way they lose those games is to give them away with stupid mistakes and sloppy play.

If Sean continues to stay balanced in his attack offensively the offense can overpower both teams. The Browns really only have Myles Garrett as their primary pass rusher. Keep him from wrecking plays and the offense can begin playing with a lead. The next two games are the continue to get well games. They need to go into the Baltimore game 6-6 which means they probably finish 9-8 or better yet 10-7 after they beat the Niners in the final game.

The Rams can not sleep on the tanking Cards. They showed their hand when they traded Dobbs. They want Maye IMO. I think they are playing Kyler to showcase him as trade bait to get them what they need to get Maye.

The only game I have the Rams overmatched is the Baltimore game. It's going to be cold and with Stafford's injured thumb it doesn't bode well for his accuracy and ball security. But before and after the Rams actually match up well in the remaining games. With the Niners you don't know what team you will face. The Rams played them well early in the season and this will be a better roster in the final game. They will have a full season of experience. I feel good about that game.

The bottom line is I like the potential to salvage the season over the final half. All they have to do is execute and simply not fuck up both players and coaches. The season is there for the taking.

I want them to go 10-7 and raise a finger to the media in a glorious FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!!!

I don't care about how far they go in the playoffs. Just getting there be it 10-7 or 9-8 would be the perfect lead in to next year which is when I see the Rams really back in contention.

I was very concerned because it looked like his surgically repaired ankle that cost him most of last season, and it is. I'd definitely sit him. That has to be more of a concerning sprain then just a normal sprain. And, its not like he's been blowing up the box scores lately. Atwell might even be involved in the game plan too.

James Conner is back and had a game Sunday. Our front 7 seems to struggle with physical backs.

which "physical" backs have we struggled with this year?

 

[swmizzou83]

It really seems like Kupp is lacking explosiveness and just doesn't seem comfortable out on the field. Hopefully he gets back to his usual self in a few weeks

Maybe we just make them all look physical. Giving up 4.1 per and 10 rushing TDs thus far.

 

[Memphis Ram]

For the Rams sake, I kind of hope Kupp sits the next game out and gets back to 100% so Stafford will spread the ball around more.

For my own sake, I kind of hope he sits out because I couldn't get him on my fantasy team but was able to get Nacua.
