Neither Proehl nor Kupp will ever sniff the HOF. But both were/are pivotal in their teams' success. Smart, dependable, excellent route runners and good hands.
Yes, our offense loses something when Kupp is out. But 1) he won't be out too long, and 2) it's not like the cupboard is bare. Woods will do very well in the slot, and his speed only adds to the problem for D's. Out wide, Reynolds is of course a step down from Woods. But its not like he's not competent. You can bet that McVay will make sure that Reynolds runs a lot of routes that necessarily pulls defenders towards him and away from where Goff will want to go with the ball: to Woods and to Cooks. I also look for Everett to have a pretty good day, and for Gurley to have a solid day running (100+) and receiving (around 75 yards).
