Size does not correlate to injury risk per se. Where do you see that Tutu does not possess toughness?
Funny how these narratives just appear, and people just assume they are true.
Maybe "toughness" wasn't the right word to describe what I was implying. Replace "toughness" with "the ability to not get hurt by falling on a football" or "able to take big hits and get back up...uninjured", etc.
As for "Size does not correlate to injury risk per se"...maybe not, but all I know is if a 250 lb man runs full speed into a 149 lb man...that 149 lb man might get the worst of it! lol
Tutu has already showed he has trouble taking a hit and getting back up unscathed. He appeared "dinged" after almost every hit last year in the preseason and it didn't take very long into the reg season for him to actually get knocked out for the season...by falling on the football!!!
As I said, Kupp cannot make Tutu taller and Kupp cannot help Tutu's little body absorb hits any better.
Kupp CAN help Tutu run better routes and that will be a huge improvement for him. Unfortunately, even after running a "great route"...he is still going to get smacked by a DB,S or LB who are probably going to be bigger and stronger than Tutu.
Can you imagine if we run a jet sweep with Tutu and a 300 DL falls on him? Bye, bye Tutu!
IMO, they will be out to "drill" him every chance they can. He will have to avoid as much contact as possible if he wants to survive in the NFL.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
