don't hang your hats on him being back in a week, if then. I am looking at the other guys and hoping they can within their packages do what 1 Cooper Kupp does. I don't want him out there really for 4-5 weeks, my thinking is the guy goes all out on EVERY play, whether he is a primary or not he is always sticking his head in on a run play as well.
Rather have a solidly healthy Kupp over a ten plus game span over a guy in and out of the lineup and potentially being shelved because of it. The run game needs to step up, but for that to happen I think we need a 2 TE set going a lot more than Coach seems to play it. Also need to throw the ball around to everyone and not have Matthew find a new comfort blanket. That can work into good play action chances for Cam.
It isn't making it easier of course without Coop, but if the season was hanging on Coop it wasn't going to be much of a season anyway. I think the reason we went younger was because of money issues, but if you do it, then you need to let that grow....leaning heavy on Coop would not be good for him or the overall team.
