Even if he is not getting the ball he does some good work clearing things out. He runs deep and other guys run stuff underneath quite a bit. Defenses have to respect his speed.
I would like Tutu to be used more....in fact I was often called out on this site for stating this through last year and the off season....but, he has his role. I was not sold on Robinson, but, he too has his skill set and contributes in a big way.
There are roles for all four.
Tutu and Robinson have both delivered more often than not when called on.
Ive been impressed with both of them.
Robinson being so effective in the deep red zone is a direct cause of having Kupp and Puka in there because they demand so much attention in the deep red zone. But, Robinson is good at getting quick separation and that serves him well on short quick throws like you get inside the 10. He is also a determined blocker.
I hope the Rams resign Tutu.
I think the Rams WR room with Kupp, Puka, Robinson, Tutu and Whittington can be a special one.
I could certainly see a role for Tutu where he is getting 50 + yards a game and be a key contributor, as we have seen several times this year.
A key thing that frees it up for all of them is play action off of the running game.
I would for sure get him on Ward on Thursday and take a couple of shots.
Ward cannot run with him.
