This offence badly needs speed.
No speed threat = the D plays up tighter: better run D and tighter short/middle zones.
That is the Ram O.
Deep speed = at least 1 DB pulled out of the zones. Or else.

We'll see what McVay does but not feeling great about a ball-control, scares-nobody Offense.
Then YOU are the one who can't make any mistakes.

In my view, they have mismatches when they go 13.

I won't have a single complaint about offensive speed if they go 13.

No worries about Stafford.

I agree, heavy 13 personnel. Having Puka and Jordan out is tough

I wouldn't say I'm glad Puka is likely out tonight, but I'm interested to see what McVay can dial up without him and Whittington available.

And Im also interested to see who Stafford stares down as the only player he wants to throw to. I'd like to see him spread it around a la Purdy.
That's right I said it!

IIRC... you were all over the board to draft this guy to be our third WR.
I was on that train too.
I can’t complain about how the Rams handled their two 1rst rounders though, because they wheeled and dealed to go a different route. Time will tell on that strategy.
 
I'd even say forget Puka against Denver!!! Don't even try it until he's ABSOLUTELY READY!!!

What I wanna see is McVay get "the other guys" involved more...(Mumpfield, Tutu, Smith, and Daniels). Let's get real...injury can happen, so you get these guys in the offense because YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!!!

I said it in another post...it was a game against Seattle where Kupp was out...and it was Puka and Tutu that stepped up and both caught for 119 yds each.

This is how you can really say "next man up" and that's because YOU USE ALL YOUR TOOLS!!!

DO IT!!!
 
A lot of times when a player is a game-time decision, and doesn't play, they end up playing the following week.

So, definitely a good chance Puka suits up and plays @ Denver.

We don't know the details, but I also hope that if Puka needs more time to really heal up, the Rams don't play him at Denver.

Different situation with a short week. Can’t imagine him missing a week and a half of practice and then coming in to starts
