Just remember Xavier Smith runs just as fast as Atwell with the added advantage he can return kicks. I expect him to make the team as the designated return specialist.

I'm not discounting the impact speed has but route running is a skill which Atwell is lagging behind in. Jefferson, has 4.45 type speed and he gets open more than Atwell. How you run your routes counts for more than how fast you are. Versatility counts when you are not a starter and are fighting for a roster spot.

With the extra game they should have pushed the active roster to 55. The NFLPA was stupid for not requiring expanded rosters. It's why even minor injuries late in the season can be very consequential.
Hmmm......

He seemed a bit nicked up, he looked awkward getting back up most the 2nd half and landed strange. Kid has skills and guts
Yeah it's from him keeping his pads high. He'll learn

That's my worry. Can he and Tutu handle a whole NFL season? Both balled out today and will be deadly when you add a Kupp who hasn't had a lot of luck making it through full seasons himself. Gotta keep all three healthy.

I confess my transgressions and disbelief in Lord Nacua as Heir to the Throne.

I Henceforth swear my undying allegiance to Lord Nacua, first of his name, protector of the Ram Realm. Rightful Heir to the Kupp throne. May your name live forever. HAIL KING NACUA!!!!

YES. Although it should technically be, "HAIL, KING PUKA!" because that's his first name: Puka. Nacua happens to be his last name. And shouldn't it be "Kupp Dynasty," given that Cooper Kupp's been here for a fair bit?

Also, while we're on the subject, I will admit my transgressions on Lord Chatarius Atwell, second of his name (as his father is also known as Chatarius Atwell), he of the blessed hands, he of the warp speed, and he of the most improved player by far. He has earned the right for me to declare that I was wrong to call him a "bust", and I thus prostrate myself in hopes of being forgiven. All hail the Hand of the King, Chatarius Atwell, may he long prosper and defeat all rivals.

Well as I'm sure you are aware @Loyal is driving the bus for that particular bandwagon:

Your penance, dear child is to chant 10 Hail Puka's and 10 our slot g_d's

And, start calling me Puka! ~ Second of his Name

So does this mean that you'll finally start calling him by his royal moniker, Tutu? Proper protocol explicitly declares that one is not allowed to change the name of a royal personage.
That would include Mr. Atwell whom you have just called "lord".

Remember it is my understanding that it is not wise to incur the wrath of the royals....
Just sayin'

KING PUKA it is!! excuse me, I am just a mere peasant (when it comes to Fantasy Lore and Dark ages stuff).

But I do recognize greatness and thus bend the Knee to his Majesty!!

I beg forgiveness from KING PUKA and his royal servant MEMENTO!!

But I do think the lord from the land of the speedsters prefers to be recognized as KING TUTU!!! May his name henceforth be uttered by the lips of his most excellent servant Memento without reservation and with gladness of heart!

He's Ballin. Kupp might be expendable next off-season if he keeps producing.

The kid can flat out play and is obviously NFL ready from day 1. As a 5th rounder, he could arguably be the steal of this draft like Kupp in 2017 or was it 2018?

Les Snead: Sean, I've got a massive 3 team trade on the table to get amazing compensation for Kupp. I think we should jump on this trade.

Sean: What are we getting back for moving Kupp?

Les Snead: Fricken 5 6th rounders bro!!!!

Sean: Umm.............I'm going to have to Veto this bud, keep working.

Les Snead: No doubt, I'll try to get a 5th rounder. We got Puka there. ... Sean? (silence) Sean? ..............must be a bad connection again.
