If they let Puka play they should cut his PT and use him as a decoy. It's not worth letting his groin injury linger throughout the season.

They will use 13P, but the most they used it last year IIRC, was in the 45% area. So the question is: who gets more looks if Puka is out or they limit him? Giants have injury concerns at CB. The Rams need to stretch the field; Tutu and Smith add more speed. Tutu has filled in for Puka in the past.
Even better...SIT PUKA!!! Plenty of weapons to use and I'm sure McVay has worked it in preparation. Get the rookie Daniels out there too!!! Feed Williams and Corum and use them out of the backfield too!!!

TFERG, Colby, Higbee, Davis Allen.....

I don't think our offense has plenty of weapons. Puka is by far our best pass game weapon. After him there's significant dropoff and you have Adams. After Adams there's more significant dropoff and you have a steaming pile of excrement.

Daniels certainly has a chance to help us. I'd say that's more likely than putting hope in Tutu. Which honestly at this point makes me feel like I'm in a fucking meme or something. Can't believe we're back to rainbows and unicorns and our infamous 150lb wideout. Feels bad man.

TEs getting going would be nice. That may happen tonight we'll see. At least that position offers talent as its options.
 
I want to feel that improved fuckin defense. So many upgrades, they need to start translating and playing together.

And 9 needs to let it be known he's still got the fire with a last year level performance.

Play like champions tonight boys. :fistbump1:
A couple of picks, a fumble recovery and about 6 sacks should give me a sunny disposition about the team again, for about a week.

But Tutu knows the system!

I beg to differ. You have Adams, Fergie (who can go WR) Mumpfield, Tutu, Daniels, and Smith. Not to mention KW and Corum out of the backfield.

Sure there's drop off from Puka...but these are very capable guys. In my mind, it's a matter of McVay not giving them more opportunities in games so they get rhythm with Stafford.

Now...Stafford has to go to them...so let's sit back and see what happens tonight.

Sitting Puka is trending.

The Rams will go to 13P. How much can they do that and still be effective? I would think 40-50% at most.

No chance of changing most posters' minds about Tutu. Without Puka, the Rams are limited behind him at WR. Adams is the best option , but his best use has been near the goal line. He can get some chunk plays. What's left are Mumpfield, Smith, Tutu and Daniels. Smith and Tutu are the only ones with speed to stretch the field to open things up for the offense. The Rams can grind it with ground game but they also need some big plays too. They can't become too predicatable. Let's see if McVay can scheme Ferguson open for a couple of chunck plays. It's all hand on deck without Puka.
 
Looking like a 13 personnel night. Let’s DO IT!!!
I agree...13p is gonna be seen more tonight...but the Rams have capable back ups...and we have a situation where they have to step up and play.

I recall back when Kupp went down and Tutu had to step up against Seattle in 2023...and he did along with Puka. Both went for 119 yds.

Let's see what happens with the backup WRs tonight!!! TEST THE WATERS!!!
 
I think the Rams D will be fine tonight...but it will be interesting to me to see how Stafford holds up.
I expect a pretty good pass rush from NY tonight.
 
I'm a little concerned that the Giants’ running game may be a problem for the Rams. They rushed for 165 yards in week 1 while the Rams gave up close to 6 yards a carry. If the Giants come anywhere near that tonight this will keep Dart out of obvious passing situations, and that may be huge problem, especially if last weeks Rams defense shows up tonight. Oh, and Dart can run pretty well himself.

No Puka? All hands on deck.

Rams can grind it out with 13P for part of the game, 40- 50%. They still need some chunk plays. Adams can get targets, although he may be double-teamed. It's time for Ferguson to shine. Smith and Tutu can spread the field and get deep passes. I like them to clear out and help Ferguson and Adams get open. They can add a chunch play or two.

Very curious how McVay calls the game. The Giants are a bit thin at CB. Set them up with early runs , short pases to stay ahead of the chains. Use good, hard-sell play-action passes to open things up. Then use some screens to get slow down the pass rush.

What do I know?:laugh1:

That’s 100% going to be their game plan. Limit our offensive possessions, shorten the game, and make us tackle.
