He will never get that kind of yards after the catch in the NFL. He will go down with one hand on him. He is to small. College there are a lot of bad tacklers. Picture him against the Niners or Seahawks. They don't miss many tackles.
Yep I'm sure the fact that the Rams finishing 22nd in the league in ppg was a blow to his ego about being a offensive minded coach. We all could see last year that we needed someone to stretch the field and so did he. I think we could have traded down a little and still got Tutu around 60-70 but I guess they didn't want to take that chance.It has always been important to McVay's scheme. They went out and got Watkins when McVay realized that Tavon wasn't a reliable deep threat. It was always the big question mark when they traded Cooks. They were not able to address it last year. It really limited the offense. So in that regard I am hopeful about this pick. Jackson hasn't been the most reliable health wise for a while. So this kid is going to have to step up this year.
I agree Bubba. And tracking the ball is something Tavon could never adjust to.Couple of things I noticed after watching Tutu game film. Guy tracks the ball really well, even switching from looking over one shoulder to the other, looking the ball into his hands. Good hands, puts the ball away. Both aspects of his game that are far better than tavon ever was.
Kinda why I don't get wrapped up in mocks and such. I am rarely right on who or what position the Rams value, so for me to get invested in what I think they should do is pretty futile.Well, Chatavius (I refuse to call him "Tutu") Atwell is a Ram, so I hope he does well. It's just that there were other players I would've preferred.
I agree with the deep threat. I don't think college YAC equates to NFL YAC, thats all. I am very hopeful of the pick.DeSean Jackson has been one of the best WRs of the past decade, it didn't stop him. Not to mention a top 5 deep threat all time. Hollywood Brown in Baltimore seems okay, Taylor Gabriel in Chicago, Jakeem Grant (5'6, 160), Marquise Goodwin.
There are a lot of small speed WRs with very similar body sizes. And guess what, the best one of all is on our roster and will be able to help teach Tutu how to avoid hits and operate in the NFL. He's going to be great for us and will have some long TDs as a rookie. When you have 4.27 speed on the field and Matt Stafford at QB, I dont think you understand what kind of bind that puts a defense into.
Yeah, if it is true that the seahawks took our guy, similar to when they took the LB Fisher wanted, they didn't want to take the chance and snapped Tutu up right then.Yep I'm sure the fact that the Rams finishing 22nd in the league in ppg was a blow to his ego about being a offensive minded coach.

That LB was future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner.Yeah, if it is true that the seahawks took our guy, similar to when they took the LB Fisher wanted, they didn't want to take the chance and snapped Tutu up right then.
First time Stafford hits him deep for a TD you're gonna be screaming "TUTU!!!!!"Well, Chatavius (I refuse to call him "Tutu") Atwell is a Ram, so I hope he does well. It's just that there were other players I would've preferred.

I will never say, "Tutu."
I wonder where the name comes from. Isn't TuTu Hawaiian for grandparent?
