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.

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?
How about Simpson back there too - The Wishbone!!

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.

Offense over the next 3 weeks (AZ/bye/GB): Get that TE group healthy and maximize the 13 personnel/run game. Find the best WR3 weapon.
Defense over the next 3 weeks:
Get McDuffie back/Kinchens fully healthy. Maximize that aggressive pass rush.
Then add Adams/Nacua/Turner back to the mix and play with their hair on fire for the remaining regular season to ensure a playoff spot and peak performance. One game at a time.

When your veteran tight end Tyler Higbee is routinely creating penalties dropping balls and fumbling games away there is absolutely no reason not to get Max Klare involved.
I could be mistaken as I haven't seen all of the Ram's games. But it seems like (IMO) that when we have 3rd and 5 or 3rd and 6, too often Stafford seems to hold the ball and too often is trying to hit the homerun when there are guys wide open for the first down. And the result more often than not is a sack or incomplete pass, or an INT.
I would use him underneath on most snaps with an eye towards giving Stafford a dumpoff for positive yards to move the chains. He's a very secure target.
Rams in preseason used him on a lot of out routes for short gainers. I think you could show him film of Kupp and tell him that's his role that you want him to grow into. But unfortunately with Puka out it's not gonna matter.
I wonder if this may happen? I know McVay always thought of Whittington as Puka's replacement and Mumpfield as Adam's replacement. Is Daniels next in line?
