Who steps in for Davante Adams?

[“Turbo set!”]

I am assuming he is out for the rest of the regular season at least.

When Nacua was out they seemed to use Parkinson outside mostly. I don't have confidence in Atwell.

I am not sure Whittington is the answer.

I think TuTu has to take on a bigger role.... that is all I can think of at the moment.

Hamstrings are tricky.... Adam's could be good enough to go but in limited action.

 

[RamWoodie]

I think it's gonna depend on the playcall... but I see a combination of Fergie, Whittington and Parkinson as big guys, as well as Mumpfield and Tutu.

McVay has pretty much ruled him out against the Seahags.

Mumpfield had (by far) the third most snaps on Sunday. And we keep hearing that Davante considers him his understudy. I think this is his chance to step up, with a few more snaps for Tutu to stretch the field.

 

[duanevalle22]

McVay hasn't ruled him out yet.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Mumphield skills are suited to the slot. I guess it will be Atwell.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

I think Tutu can do this if given a chance. I'm a little disappointed in Mumpfield's production so far, but it could just be lack of targets--who knows.

Also I'm not so sure Adams won't go, maybe with limited reps.

Adams downfield routes arent really a concern IMO, I truly believe they can fill those. His redzone TD's? Yeah that's the hole which is left behind, the only big body types to take those snaps are the TE's

This is my guess - Mumpfield has outstanding route running abilities, and could probably do that goal-line break-in route that Adams has been killing it with. Just gotta have him run a couple of fade routes to set it up & he'll be good to go. This kid could really save our bacon & if he gets some post-season tuddies he could be a house-hold name pretty quick like.
Whittington is more like Puka's understudy. Tutu... is his own guy -- honestly I don't know who else we have that can stretch the field like he does & has great hands (as long as he's schemed open).

Tu Tu won't do them much good in the red zone and that's obviously where Adam's makes his beans. IMO, it's all on the TE's (12 & 13 personel) until Adams return, that is IF he returns. To be honest, I don't understand why they used Adams between the 20's when he had been nursing that hammy all week. It seems limiting him to short routes in the red zone would have put less stress on his leg. As for Tu Tu, good luck on finding him in the EZ, we've already seen the lack of red zone TD production earlier in the season.

I don't think anyone steps into his role. McVay has been splitting his TE's out wide lately with Stafford in shotgun. I imagine he'll move the TE group around. Sometimes it looks like the Rams are in 12 personnel but they are still in 13 with a TE in a usual WR spot. Sometimes it looks like 11 but they still have 3 TE's out there. I think McVay will lean into that group a lot more.

I agree with you overall, but really feel the Seahawks really shut down the 13 personnel for the Rams. That is (obviously) the game that REALLY matters.

I’ll be stunned if he plays another snap in the regular season. That’s one of the several reasons the 1 seed is so critical. He could have over a month off. If he comes back too soon he’s just going to keep reaggrivating the hammy.

 

[0311rams]

no way to replace Adams. lots of football left. let's see if it hurts us in the end. go, Rams!

 

[Classic Rams]

Man that sucks that he's injured. Praying for a quick recovery. He's done so much for the Rams with his veteran presence that I don't see just one player assuming his production. Our red zone has been that much stronger and that will hurt the most. I don't want to revert to too many FGs in the red zone like we had to settle for before DA. We know Tutu can stretch but the pass needs to be over the defender not in a straight line to him (like we saw yesterday) unless he's in front of his man or running a crossing route. Whit has been a disappointment and I wanted to see improvement from his rookie year. Mumph hasn't been consistent. I'm thinking it goes to Xavier Smith who the coach raved about.

13 Personnel replaces Adams. Ferguson gets many more looks with Whittington spelling Puka for lots of run blocking.

This.

A few more shots to Tutu, as well.

what makes you say that

 

[“Turbo set!”]

What is "13 Personnel "?

You mean the personnel grouping that had Adams as the primary lone receiver?
