Not great timing as IIRC, 13 wasn't great against Seattle. We may challenge the team to run the ball better because they play nickel against 13 I believe. But when we have to pass, that won't go well.
I might shock them by coming out and playing more 11, with Tutu and Whittington along with Puka, or 12 and using Tutu to stretch the defense out

Yes, he could start this week, or next week, or the week after that, etc. So many weeks to choose.

Davante average about 56 yards per game.. kupp averaged 59...
Davante hasn't really been a big yardage part of the offense - he has been an amazing red zone threat.
If he does not play Thursday I'm not sure if there is much of a point in playing the rest of the season - but i guess that will depend on how things unfold.
I think if you just keep him running short routes and in the red zone - and not push the hammy on downfield throws.
Might be able to get away with it.

More running out of any personnel wouldn't be bad. Last game against Seattle, Kyren Williams had 12 carries for 91 yards for an average of 7.6 ypa.

I get he gets away from the run but we have 2 very capable RBs that should be utilized more. It shouldn't stop McVay from drawing up great passes in the redzone either though.

Doesn't help when Stafford overthrows him though. He completely missed him last game on a big ass play where Ferg was open.
It`s got to be a by committee situation where multiple WR`s step up. Puka is going to be doubled or even tripled without Devante, so there will be plenty of one on one route opportunities. Wittington has proved he has limited usage and is not going to replace a #1 or #2 WR. Xavier Smith has looked really good. I would see if he can play Devante`s role straight up. And Tutu on obvious passing situations, as he cannot run block so when he is in the game he on a running down he is a liability. But if it is 3rd and long, why not put him if for a wind sprint down a seem to pull coverage. Or that deep in route with Tutu...

We have a deep and capable TE crew.
I don't expect one guy to step in to replace Adams production, but, to see it spread across several players.

The ball was under thrown and landed 2 yds behind and to his left....even after he pulled up.
Agree that they should not rush him back though. Recipe for disaster if they do.

Seems like Adams isn't ruled out yet guys. Maybe he just plays those goal line snaps. Not as much strain on the hammy if you aren't sprinting full speed deep down field.
Run the ball down the Seachickens throats and use 13 personal often. Also, on defense shut down the run and be sure to pressure Donald in passing situations. This is the recipe for success Thursday night.
