Merlin with thoughts on possible Rams WR pecking order…

July 31, 2024 03:26PM
Here’s Merlin…

Here's the listed heights for the Rams WR room:

Kupp 6'2"
Puka 6'2"
Robinson 6'1"
Johnson 6'1"
Whittington 6'1"
Tutu 5'9"
-----------cuts below-------------
Smith 5'9"
Laap 6'0"
Stoops 5'10"
Wiglusz 5'11"

I think the roster certainties (Kupp, Puka, Robinson, Johnson, and Whittington) mostly have one thing in common: good size for the position (in green :hugsmiling smiley. Now obviously size is not the determining factor by itself, but it's interesting how this room has transitioned to a certain "type" of wideout, that being guys with good size, good hands and catch radius, and while none of them are burners as wideouts all of them are smart and selfless personalities. If you were to try to guess what the Rams' current WR mold is, I think those certainties I listed above all fit it.

Now some will think I am just trying to be mean to Tutu here. This is not the case, as even though I think Tutu is at risk of being cut he is the only receiver in that room with real speed. So Tutu's problem is not so much his lack of size but the fact his speed has not shown an ability to take over in games in this scheme.

There are still preseason games for these guys to separate and distinguish themselves. So the best stuff is still ahead. I am hoping the Rams only sit Kupp, Puka, and Robinson for these games. Really want to see the rest of them duke it out for their roster slotting.
