Just don't get the guy hurt. They get Kupp back hopefully against Philly. Those two, along with Tutu is gonna give Philly fits!!!

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.
Actually, I think the Fitzgerald comps are better. I feel like Pukas slow build up but deceptive route running then big body YAC are just like Larry in many ways. The body control and balance. Bolden seemed more explosive and quick twitched. Maybe that’s just my impression.

Puka had elite YAC coming out, as you mentioned, he gets a lot of extra yards just breaking tackles as he falls forward with his big body.

I heard Rich Eisen's sidekick say on the segment Overreaction Monday, That Cooper Kupp was a product of McVay system because Puka has done so well. So he managed to slight both of them in one question, the fucker.
So we have a system that can make any old WR into a Triple Crown winning Super Bowl MVP? Sounds good to me!

The Cooper Kupp role is being the guy who can separate or body defenders quickly and give the QB an outlet right away. Doesn't really matter where they line up. Kupp could do the same thing at X or Z, he's just inside because it magnifies what he provides.

It absolutely does, Kupp makes his money running choice routes, you can really only run those from the slot.
 
Is Kupp's jersey in the Hall for his record breaking year in 2021? Serious question.
Triple crown deserves it for sure.

AD has done some unprecedented things at the DT position. First ballot HOFer for sure. Kupp and Stafford are potential first ballot also.

Oh I agree with both your statements.

However, I don't think AD's uniform deserves to be in the Hall at this time (until he gets voted in of course) since he hasn't had a record breaking year yet unless you count most sacks by a DT in a year.

Does the hall honor annual mvp, OPOY and DPOY?
 
Just like bumping the player threads.

Puka’s SPEED jumped out today.

He’s a hell of a football player… and just so much fun.
 
Missing puka for that short period felt like it used to when we missed kupp in past seasons. Our offense wasn't the same. So glad he ended up being ok. Hopefully he heals up for Balt, bc we're gonna need him.
 
He could have a career better than Kupp.
Kupp was a older guy coming out.
I sure like Puka, the toughness and just straight up badd ass game showed me a lot tonight.
OK, I missed the last half of the 4th quarter.
Somewhere we can watch games after the fact.
Where ?
Thanks in advance.
