Rams with a beautiful rep of Duo on the first play of the game that Darrell Henderson bounces (and Stafford thinks is about to score lol).

Watch Cooper Kupp's block and also how Robert Woods shifts pre-snap to help out the angle for his block. It's the little things. pic.twitter.com/b2kE9BHvhr

Rams legend Eric Dickerson sees [the Rams] as the team to beat right now after adding Miller. He also said Miller will benefit from this move because he now has a future Hall of Famer playing next to him in Aaron Donald.

“Most definitely,” Dickerson said via phone Wednesday when asked if the Rams are the team to beat. “I think we were one of the teams to beat anyway even before we got Von Miller. But is that a plus? Most definitely because I think even for Von it’ll be better. He doesn’t have to be the guy all the time. I know what it’s like to be the guy everyone hones in on, they game plan for you. Now they can’t just game plan for him because Raheem Morris does a great job with that defense. Von Miller is still a great player. He has Aaron Donald here and some other guys to work with, a team that can score a lot of points with a coach that’s very creative offensively and defensively. So I know he has to be excited about being here. I know it’s hard to leave a team you’ve been with for so long, but it’s a new era for him.”

6-2 Titans are 22nd in defensive yards, 20th in points allowed, 24th in ypc allowed (but 5th against the run), 15th in ypa allowed. Henry is out.

On offense they are 11th in yards, 6th in points, 1st in attempts rushing and 11th in ypc.

Rams are 21st in defensive yards, 6th in points allowed, and 19th in ypc allowed.

On offense they are 5th in yards, 5th in points, 22nd in ypc, and 1st in ypa.

Legendary wideout Larry Fitzgerald knows a great receiver when he sees one and there’s nothing that makes him believe Kupp couldn’t thrive in any offense. He broke down what makes Kupp so productive, pointing to his size, separation ability and hands.

“He’s having a phenomenal year leading the league in touchdown receptions at this point right now, I believe, and has been Matt Stafford’s safety blanket,” Fitzgerald said on his podcast with Tom Brady and Jim Gray. “He’s beat guys on the outside, he’s beat them inside with choice routes, up the seam, over the top. I mean, he’s just been able to do it in every single fashion. I think Cooper Kupp’s game could work anywhere. He’s got that type of ability. He’s big, he’s fast, he separates, he’s got tremendous hands. He’s really good in the run game. I mean, you see his effort, the way he blocks in the run game. The guy’s a complete player and you can tell he just does things the right way.”

I think because kickoff teams can dictate so much more than punts. They can tell Kupp to essentially fair catch anything and live with an exceptional punt. On a kickoff you can force a return essentially.

But I’m with you, I light a candle every time Kupp is back on PR.

If I were an opposing ST coach right now I would really be enticing the Rams to try and return the kick off. A) The lack of a true returner means they aren’t picking up + yards. B) Rams ST are getting penalized so often even a good return is typically negated.
