Hmmm......Just remember Xavier Smith runs just as fast as Atwell with the added advantage he can return kicks. I expect him to make the team as the designated return specialist.
I'm not discounting the impact speed has but route running is a skill which Atwell is lagging behind in. Jefferson, has 4.45 type speed and he gets open more than Atwell. How you run your routes counts for more than how fast you are. Versatility counts when you are not a starter and are fighting for a roster spot.
With the extra game they should have pushed the active roster to 55. The NFLPA was stupid for not requiring expanded rosters. It's why even minor injuries late in the season can be very consequential.
He seemed a bit nicked up, he looked awkward getting back up most the 2nd half and landed strange. Kid has skills and gutsOther than holding my breath every time he hit the ground... wow. Just wow.
Yeah it's from him keeping his pads high. He'll learnHe seemed a bit nicked up, he looked awkward getting back up most the 2nd half and landed strange. Kid has skills and guts
That's my worry. Can he and Tutu handle a whole NFL season? Both balled out today and will be deadly when you add a Kupp who hasn't had a lot of luck making it through full seasons himself. Gotta keep all three healthy.He seemed a bit nicked up, he looked awkward getting back up most the 2nd half and landed strange. Kid has skills and guts
I confess my transgressions and disbelief in Lord Nacua as Heir to the Throne.

I Henceforth swear my undying allegiance to Lord Nacua, first of his name, protector of the Ram Realm. Rightful Heir to the Kupp throne. May your name live forever. HAIL KING NACUA!!!!
Well as I'm sure you are aware @Loyal is driving the bus for that particular bandwagon:Tutú BandWagon..
Always have been (this year)
Your penance, dear child is to chant 10 Hail Puka's and 10 our slot g_d'sYES. Although it should technically be, "HAIL, KING PUKA!" because that's his first name: Puka. Nacua happens to be his last name. And shouldn't it be "Kupp Dynasty," given that Cooper Kupp's been here for a fair bit?
Also, while we're on the subject, I will admit my transgressions on Lord Chatarius Atwell, second of his name (as his father is also known as Chatarius Atwell), he of the blessed hands, he of the warp speed, and he of the most improved player by far. He has earned the right for me to declare that I was wrong to call him a "bust", and I thus prostrate myself in hopes of being forgiven. All hail the Hand of the King, Chatarius Atwell, may he long prosper and defeat all rivals.
I can’t believe @Loyal was never a fan of the TuTu pick. I’ve always had high hopes for him…!
So does this mean that you'll finally start calling him by his royal moniker, Tutu? Proper protocol explicitly declares that one is not allowed to change the name of a royal personage.YES. Although it should technically be, "HAIL, KING PUKA!" because that's his first name: Puka. Nacua happens to be his last name. And shouldn't it be "Kupp Dynasty," given that Cooper Kupp's been here for a fair bit?

KING PUKA it is!! excuse me, I am just a mere peasant (when it comes to Fantasy Lore and Dark ages stuff).YES.

Les Snead: Sean, I've got a massive 3 team trade on the table to get amazing compensation for Kupp. I think we should jump on this trade.He's Ballin. Kupp might be expendable next off-season if he keeps producing.
