Puka and Tutu sounds like a Disney, movie... And I'm here for it!!!


So glad Tutu is getting a chance to prove the haters wrong. Dude has bigger and stronger hands than I would assume with that frame. He catches everything!

I am very pleased with what I am seeing from Puka and Tutu but just as disappointed in what I am seeing from Jefferson.

He's Ballin. Kupp might be expendable next off-season if he keeps producing.

So far Puka has shown a great ability to produce completions between the 20 yard lines…but hasn’t caught a TD pass yet. Need to see continued growth and, perhaps more importantly, durability with his playing style. Kupp is still the man, and will make life difficult for Defensive coordinators when he presents the 3 headed monster that will be the Ram’s receiving corp.

I absolutely agree with you but by next off-season it will be #s gm and kupp will be a injury prone 30 yr old reciever with a decent size contract. Now this all depends on if puka stays healthy and continues to produce.

That’s the surprise for me, sometimes smaller guys body catch, trying to prepare for contact but Tutu plucks the ball out of the air and continues on. I was surprised how much work he’s getting in the middle of the field which is to his advantage. I don’t remember Brandon Cooks hardly ever going into the middle of the field but the more opponents see it the more flat footed they’ll be when he turns upfield.
Obviously McVay is scheming more for Puka and Tutu with Kupp out but what’s going on with Vanjeff? Is he getting more attention as the #1 or is there something else? Supposedly he was healthy and looked great in camp but now zip.

Puka is very, very, very tough to bring down. We are absolutely going to see him break tackles and tear off big gains. He's strong AND slippery.
He's going to be a YAC machine like Kupp at some point.. I think they'll need to have the field open up a little bit for that. Kid is thick for a WR.. the Bolden comps are interesting.

God.. what a steal he's looking like!

@Flint ... one of the reasons I always kinda hoped for Tutu was that he was a WR coming out, not a gadget guy. He runs routes, hand catches and tracks the ball in the air well. Those are all things Tavon Austin couldn't do. But Tutu is nowhere near the player with the ball in his hands that Tavon was. Tutu is playing smart and getting down when he needs to. If they can get Kupp back and pick spots with Tutu.. they'll be in great shape.

Yeah, I haven't looked at the all 22, but would be curious to see if they are rolling coverage to him and that is why Puka and Tutu are getting targets. I CAN tell you that he has looked poor with the opportunities he has had so far. Puka and Tutu have dawg in them. So do Kyren, Avila, Young, etc....you LOVE to see it. I do not and have never seen that from Van. I have always liked him, but that has never really been in his game. Closest we saw was that opening night bomb against the Bears in 2021.....
