Can he? See the invention of 13 package from last year.
Well yeah...but now the situation is very different. He had the players to do that...but now he doesn't have Puka or Adams who are threats a defense has to account for... very different situation here. I just wonder. I'm not worried about the Cards game...it's after the bye that's real concern.

I'm thinking we're gonna have to rely on defense too. We can't expect 30 point games for a while. Gotta get at least 20 though. And hope the defense is up to the task.

If we're looking at any bright side, maybe this will force Stafford to spread it around more. I know we have only JAGS at WR, but the tight ends and running backs are capable. Kyren's pretty good at receiving. Corum not so much. Maybe use Kyren the way Shanahan uses McCaffrey. I don't expect Ferguson back this week. But maybe after the bye.
 
How would you use him?

Where would line him up and in what formations.

Would you use him the way they wanted to use Ferguson?

Please share your ideas.
Give him a package of plays like they did Ferguson last year. Let him run some of the stuff Ferguson was supposed to run.

I'd like to see him get these TE screens as he's probably the best runner after the catch of the group.

Have him take over some of Puka's motion duties vs. the run with options to leak out vs. the pass.

IMO, he should actually replace Whittington and be a TE, quasi WR/FB instead of a Whittington's WR, quasi TE/FB. But actually throw him the ball.

That sound good to me. I'm not sure what's been holding McVay back from using him, but I lean toward his blocking ability at the LOS being a question mark.

This is the perfect timing with Whitt hurt and maybe put on IR. I like the idea.

@Merlin you have suggested Klaire getting PT many times. Is this how you were thinking of using him?

Exactly ! And give Daniels some of Pukas duty's too. He is about the same size and speed as Puka. Great hands, good blocker. Play these guys.
With our new defensive capabilities we might not need a lot of points. Special Teams are doing much better too.
Few deep shots to Atwell while you are at it.
And run baby run.
Then the Calvary will show up with Puka, Adams and Ferguson.
We can weather this storm and win it all if this goes right.

He started 13 personell whrn puka was out last year
 
Many seem to be relying on our defense. Until last Sunday with Garrett, I was very down on our defense.

This week will tell me more (Garrett + Donald).

BUT... when we start playing against very good offenses, that makes me nervous.

McDuffy needs to get and stay healthy.
