FEATURE Atwell Extended

Tyler Shough has been gaining steam to perhaps be the 3rd QB. His real downfall is his an older prospect, but, he has as good of arm as anyone, is athletic as anyone, and is bigger then anyone. I would not be surprised if McVay likes him. We tend to draft the older prospects.

 

[Merlin]

This is absolute horse shit lol.

If he wanted to use him he could of Kupp and others or not.

Agreed. Another example of how, as great as Jourdan is as a beat writer, she lets the Rams BS her time to time.

wow did not see this coming but im a big tutu fan so I am very excited they look to likely give him more chances without kupp next year... my only fear is they will draft a wr in round 1-3 and tutu will again be the forgotten lost man because McVay hates him for some reason haha

Yeah way too much. Could've probably gotten Hollywood Brown for that.

Was thinking the same exact thing.

HUH WHAT WHY

I really don't have anything against Tutu. I think he has obvious limitations due to his size but is very solid overall in almost every other aspect as a receiver i.e. speed, route running, hands, etc. But we don't use him enough for this to even come close to making sense...

That being said this is where we are now so hoping for the little guy to make a big impact this upcoming season.

 

[Ellard80]

When I heard them talk about D-robs legal problems and the non-impressive free agent market.

I had a feeling we might resign tutu.

Hopefully he can get some more targets and show us what he can do.

Thought he usually produced whenever he was asked.

 

[brucebruce]

I recall JB Long commenting about hoping to see more Tutu throughout the season.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Was thinking the same exact thing.

As much as I love this front office, they make puzzling moves every free agency.

 

[den-the-coach]

IMO TuTu has been under utilized. He has proven that he can make catches and one thing the Rams should be doing at a minimum of twice per game is throwing the fly pattern TuTu's way. He always beats the coverage with his speed and if Stafford can actually hit him in stride, he would have more touchdowns.

I look forward to the Rams using him more and I for one am glad to have his speed back in the saddle again.

 

[muggmeister]

Probably could have had Tyler Lockett at that price for a year. Already mentioned Hollywood Brown may have been had for around the same dollars. Both are a little older but have provided more production in their careers. Here's hoping for a Tutu breakout season but I just don't see it.

 

[DzRams]

That might actually work for a week or two until he gets hurt.

Has he had an injury history I'm not recalling?

 

[dieterbrock]

Merlin and Dieter right about now...

His other downfall has been durability although all the injuries have been breaks and not tears.

 

[PhillyRam]

He'll be worth the money if they use him and he produces. A lot of "ifs" considering McVay's allergy towards playing him. Maybe he watched the film and saw him open up the offense with his speed?

Maybe Scheelhaase has plans in mind to use him more. So maybe some new tweaks to the passing game scheme with Kupp being gone.

 

[den-the-coach]

Not fine for that money.

They need his speed plus I think they are staying away from Robinson because of legal issues.

 

[den-the-coach]

Tutu vs. Hollywood Brown.​

Receptions per target:
Atwell .68
Brown .59

Yards per target:
Atwell 8.19
Brown 6.92

Perhaps there is some usage-based untapped potential that the Rams see

 

[majrleaged]

Agreed. Another example of how, as great as Jourdan is as a beat writer, she lets the Rams BS her time to time.

I think many times, she just reports what is said by the Rams. No opinion or speculation. I think that was all that was.

 

[WestCoastRam]

How much of the overage on his contract was because:

- the salary cap went up - as reported - beyond every single teams internal models of what was going to happen this year
- an very underwhelming FA class at WR

I wonder how this contract will look after some of these other receivers are signed in FA this year
