First kickoff last week and today saw the return man go backside for a long run. Not sure who was supposed to protect the backside and hold containment but that needs to be tightened up.WTH was that long snap into Nick Scott and where's Tutu? Noticed Tutu had one punt catch for no gain, but was oddly replaced by Cooper Kupp when the Colts punted deep into Rams territory. Does Coach D and Sean lack confidence in Tutu? Is he shaky on fielding Punts?Very surprised we haven't seen four-wide sets (at least occasionally) with Woods, Kupp, Jefferson and Jackson. We've gone four-wide on occasion but Higbee has been one of the fours WR's. Gotta think McVay is going to dial up Tutu on a jet sweep or WR screen or something to see if he can break one for a long play. The Rams enjoy using a "redshirt" year for some of their draftees, but shouldn't a second rounder have some playing time? by Hacksaw 2 years 6 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator Re: Special Teams, Tutu and Desean Jackson POST #2 I'd like to think so but something might be up. McV doesn't play rookies much either. The only time I saw Tutu in he nearly caused a turnover. DJax was in but never saw a target iirc. And yeah, that snap made me miss McQuaid. GO RAMS !!!

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as there have been drives that were short because of big plays (the Rams have 4 passing plays of 40+ yards, tied with Seattle for the league lead), but it does limit the number of reps that a guy like DJax gets.The Rams have scored on all kinds of drives:3 plays, TD, 1:184 plays, TD, 1:084 plays, TD, 2:036 plays, FG, 2:387 plays, TD, 3:248 plays, TD, 2:55 (Game clincher)8 plays, TD, 4:5510 plays, FG, 4:3512 plays, FG, 4:59 (Game winner)12 plays, TD, 6:4416 plays, FG, 8:18There's nothing as good as a quick strike TD or a long time consuming TD drive. But a long time consuming FG drive is pretty close. Better than getting nothing out of a possession.In our first two games, our first drive resulted in a TD.....vs Chicago; 3 plays 80 yards, 1:18@ Indy; 8 plays 90 yards, 4:55but what may really point to our success is the last scoring drive each weekvs Chicago; 12 plays 75 yards (TD), 6:44@ Indy; 12 plays 55 yards (GWFG), 4:59We can eat clock while we're scoring the necessary points to win.
