I like Noah gray but as a pass weapon, it's better to have a natural receiver out there in his place. It allows you to have great passing personnel while also being a threat with run blocking. We can't run 11 personnel because it means putting 2 cardio guys in at WR. Hell, even in 12 packages we have to put WRs on the field who add no value to the passing game. this year has felt a lot like last year's rams. Kupp got abused with usage because he was the only guy reliable for Stafford to throw to by a country mile. kupp is a stud but he also kind of needs help. We saw last year what that looks like. He still cooked but the rams offense was bad and kupp was targeted so much it was almost abusive.
And so the Rams gave kupp help. They finally landed a RB. Puka is a physical WR while tutu atwell is the guy who stretches the defense. It turns out DeMarcus has been an wven better option than tutu which makes sense since he is actually a great guy to play off of other WRs (but he can't be the guy himself).
Maybe this is a blueprint for where we're going. and it probably fits what some were already thinking. Getting some kind of swiss army knife on the outside and a speed option and then let rashee really settle in to that power slot role. it's something to get excited about but rashee needs help for this to work
