Puka as TE3. Send Tutu deep so he doesn't even need to block. A few play actions deep to Tutu will keep the DBs honest.

Sure hope so but everything I have read suggests he is close to starting his 21-day-practice-window.
May still be multiple weeks before he is game-ready.
Most teams don't open the practice Window unless you're pretty close. That's why guys like Garrett have been on the shelf even though they anticipated he'd be back sold around now.
Hope that's the case with Garrett, Ferguson and Turner ... sooner-the-better ... three difference-makers
Here's the latest on Garrett

Fans like you can't seem to understand that it doesn't matter who the #3 WR is.
The #3 simply won't get looks.

In the first half Stafford targeted Puka 7 times and the rest of the receivers 7 times.
In the second half he targeted Puka 5 times and the rest 6 times.
Look around the NFL. The star #1 WR on any passing team gets the most targets.
JSN has 70 targets in Seattle. The #2 (Shaheed) has 30. Kupp has 27. I don't hear Seattle fans whining they're throwing the ball to JSN too much!!!!
I agree with Rmfnit. Running is the key. We've got 2 studs back there. Use them. And use them more in the passing game. They only got 2 of 25 targets. They need to see more than that. In the first half we ran the ball 5 times. In the 2nd half 22 times. Which half did the offense look like a good offense? Right. The 2nd half.
The other thing is 13P. I read somebody said "they need to run 11P but they can't right now". That doesn't have as much to do with WRs as it might seem. The key to their 13P success was they could run, they could pass or they could shift to an 11P formation out of 13P because Ferguson was so versatile. They finally had Klare in there yesterday. He had 1 offensive snap in the previous 7 games. Perhaps they will begin using him in the same way they used Ferguson. I hope so because that will only make them stronger once Ferguson and Adams are back.
McVay will figure it out

The team always brings their rookie TE's along slow, so we can bitch about what a shitty pick he was for as much of the season as possible.
It’s a passing league. The rules favor it.
Our rushing game is amazing, but would it be as effective at 60%?
Not every week or even every half, but yesterday it was 22-11 in the 2nd half. That's 66%. 33 plays, 191 yards, 14 points and Stafford was 7 of 11.
Another fact is that with an oft-injured 33 year old WR2… your WR3 becomes your #2.Fans like you can't seem to understand that it doesn't matter who the #3 WR is.

IMO - Your window with Stafford is short, you give up what you need to in order to get a solid #3 (Thomas, Downs), both of whom are young enough to move into the #2 role when Adams leaves, thus using the draft pick to fill a need going forward anyway. Push your chips in.
