Didn't we say this was a possibility? Hate that this is happening and that the Rams may need to be reactive vs proactive
Yes.
And I specifically mentioned the higher number of low-depth targets where he takes a ton of hits.

Another legit target and the game isn’t as close.. and he doesn’t take as many hits.
 
Puka is gonna break down eventually. The punishment he takes is unreal.

With Parkinson dinged and Ferguson out, we can barely run 13. With Adams out and no one else stepping up, we can barely run 11. We are in no-man’s land right now.

And yet, McVay refuses to become run dominant.

If Puka is going to miss time, we should see if Indy will trade us both Josh Downs AND Keenan Allen.
Problem is the Rams really should have been more aggressive early on about trading for a WR. No one is saying they need a superstar but now teams are going to try to extract more compensation because they know we desperately need help. This will be especially true if we find out Puka is out for some time.

Well, they weren't. All we can do is move forward.

Very disappointing game for Tutu.
Whenever we depend on Tutu to step up he is disappointing. And it's not just in our offense. There is a reason we got him back for a fucking ham sandwich.

Talking about bringing a WR in.... should have been done long ago but that's water under the bridge
Should have been done in the fucking draft. Now we're looking at shitty options and teams know we're desperate. Terrible bargaining position to be in.
 
I'm thinking BTJ is probably out of our asset ballpark. Downs is a small WR that McVay tends to not be a fan of. Bateman, who has been fairly underwhelming in Baltimore, is cheap and a bigger body that McVay likes. Ravens are cooked for this season and he's very cheap for the trading team. I think he'd be a good compliment to what we have and we can likely bring out better in him. I doubt it takes a ton to get him in a trade. I'd be on that happening.

LOL...you guys want it all:
- 3 stud WRs
- a backup for Stafford
- 4 stud CBs
- a kicker that makes 100% of FGs
- stud MLB

It's just not possible with a salary cap and limited draft capital in a physical game where injuries happen all the time.
I mean, we can dream, but...

McVay's love of bigger weapons may be derived in part from Stafford preferring them. Prior to Stafford, McVay did well with some smaller wideouts in his offense. Cooks was very productive, Woods as well, in important roles in spite of the fact neither were physical after the catch like Kupp and Puka have been.

Also he has gone back to smaller wideouts on his depth chart in spite of the fact none of them offer a damn thing for special teams. Instead of having a guy like Skow who could come in and lead block a little for you, maybe make an occasional catch, and provide strong teams production.

Lastly that last Colts game Downs played like dog shit. He is better than anyone we have after Puka on this depth chart, there is no doubt of that. But I don't know that he's the right guy on the mental side. I think he's a third WR which is why I've been leery of paying for him with additional cost in picks at the deadline. Not physical at all. And not a gamer like Kupp or Nacua or even Woods who had the mentality he wanted in spite of his smaller frame. McVay requires dogs. The type of dudes who are undaunted and can produce snap to snap. The guys who disappear don't work in this offense.

But does Bateman disappear because he's been in a run first offense since being drafted? And when they do pass they go to the TE or Zay. All I know is what we have behind Adams/Puka ain't working.

Well I wanted to trade down and get a CB WR ILB with our first 3 picks for depth purposes. Instead we got a QB and TE that at most will play next year. And even that is iffy. I know I know - they were looking into the future but damn I wanted to draft to possibly ensure another Superbowl title this year.

Yes - I am greedy.

But McVay, Snead & Co aren't greedy? They don't want another Super Bowl title this year?

And I'm going to ignore the "insure another Superbowl title" is accomplished how? :biggrin:
