Was Bennett or Rypien the backup to Stafford?

Rypien was the back-up in Seattle.

In the spring, Byron Young was just trying to find his way as a rookie. But as he began to understand how much he would be counted on, he stepped up his preparation to meet those expectations.

Playing alongside defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been an added benefit to Young’s development. Young said that Donald has taught him a lot since he’s been with the Rams and willingly provided tips and advice.

Puka Nacua has had a significant physical and mental workload since OTAs.
I asked OC Mike LaFleur today, how can a coach tell when a young WR really gets “it”?
“When they break the huddle. There’s a lot of things that are said in that huddle, for a rookie receiver, that they

have never experienced in their life … He’s just grown every single day, every single week. You can tell the comfort he has, breaking that huddle. Matthew (Stafford) is like poetry in that huddle, too. It’s easy to follow as any quarterback I’ve been around. So kudos to him

for that. (Nacua) is mature for his age, for sure. … You can see it in the look in their eyes. Every guy is gonna be a little bit different … It’s fun watching how every individual does it. Some, when the first parts of the play call come in, they’re pointing to what

direction they have to break to go to the huddle. You can almost kind of see them playing the play out with their hands, stuff like that. For Puka, he just breaks it with confidence. And then he goes.”

One of the standout developments in Week 1 for the Los Angeles Rams was the emergence of Tutu Atwell as a legitimate threat in the passing game. Following the third-year receiver’s impressive outing in Week 1, Matthew Stafford expressed his confidence in Atwell moving forward.

“Yeah, I mean I think for any player, especially a guy like Tutu, receivers and in this offense, the better you grasp what we’re trying to do on offense as a whole, and you can play in different spots and we can move you around, you can go out there and play fast,” Stafford said. “He can go out there and let his skills show because he’s confident in what he’s doing, what we’re trying to accomplish with him on whatever route or whatever blocking scheme. He’s done an unbelievable job at really working his tail off. I would feel confident putting Tutu in any of the three receiver spots and him knowing what to do on majority, if not every single play which is an awesome thing for a younger guy and a guy that his first years wasn’t asked to do that. His ability to do that I think is going to be really good for him personally and for us as a team and that’s just because of the work that he’s put into it and trying to make sure that he understands what we’re trying to accomplish, where he needs to line up. He’s helping other guys get lined up right now. I mean, it’s really good stuff. So I’m just proud of him and the work that he’s put into it.”
