Isn't that Skowronek... don't you think. A little too Skowronek... yeah, I really do think.
Wonder if the QB matters at all. Stafford rifles those things in there at times... not sure Ian Book has much of a slinger arm? But you're probably right that it is more mental than anything. That step to the NFL when defenders are a lot faster, bigger, and dangerous across the middle takes some getting used to I'm sure. Hopefully he shakes those rookie vibes off because he's going to be needed.
Yeah I'm not worried about his hands. That pass he dropped in that big moment was a misplay in some ways in terms of body positioning and can be fixed by him growing as a wideout and improving. He's not a great athlete but he's big, he's physical, he's smart, and he's a competitor. He has a shot to be the guy who replaces Van if he misses time.
It's, more than likely, just rookie jitters.
I don’t necessarily think it’s just about ‘electric playmaking’ but in order for this offense to reach its max potential, we need a dominant stretch the field type guy. Especially with Stafford that was Van’s role. This is a big chance for Tutu to step up.
I thought the same thing. It’s called an assumptive close and very high level work from McVay here. After the last 2 days I’m 99% confident OBJ is back.
Yea I think this is exactly how they'll be used. Skow knows the offense better, blocks better, and can play in multiple receiver spots. So he'll definitely get more snaps, I just hope Tutu uses this window to push himself into a bigger role because his speed is undeniable. Even without a true down the field threat this offense will be great, but I want to see the absolute peak potential of what it can look like firing on all cylinders and with Akers healthy.
Our D is be gonna be so good this year its gonna carry our Offense at times. Barring injury we'll still have a Top 10-12ish Offense, but Rams are gonna REPEAT through great Defense.

Normally the end result of a stretch the field guy is opening things up. But the Rams top two matchups in the pass game can get open easily no matter the defense. They don't need more space.
