The Los Angeles Rams are hopeful that their offense will discover itself once more with Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp each anticipated again in motion.
Stafford and Kupp each suffered season-ending accidents in 2022, however the duo spent the offseason rehabbing and appeared near 100% at begin of the coaching camp earlier than Kupp suffered a minor hamstring damage.
So far as their on-field chemistry goes, Kupp believes he and Stafford have been capable of naturally get again within the swing of issues collectively.
“Yeah, that’s been sort of the bizarre however actually cool factor. It’s sort of felt like that from the primary time he was right here in ‘21, you understand? It was identical to that OTAs was simply sort of prefer it clicked and we got here out after OTAs we have been capable of throw collectively a bit of bit in July and it simply felt like first time again was like time was excellent there. I’m glad you guys see that. I’m glad that that’s coming by way of, however man, it’s simply been one thing that looks as if it’s simply sort of very pure and it’s occurred and definitely, we don’t take without any consideration that there’s work that’s concerned in that as effectively. A lot of reps and time as you tone that in as effectively, however, yeah it’s good having that the place you come again, you’re feeling like you may I simply choose up the place you left off.”
Though the 2 initially hit the bottom working, Kupp acknowledged that they nonetheless have extra work to do to succeed in increased ranges.
“Yeah, you by no means get complacent with issues, proper? I imply, the worst factor you are able to do is get stagnant and simply be like, okay, effectively we’re ok, you don’t should follow it, which goes to occur, you understand? It’s an ignorant and complacent mindset that I simply need nothing to do with.
“So for us it’s like, hey, we all know that we’ve acquired this pure chemistry about how we do issues, however man, how significantly better can we be if we actually are honing this factor in, if we’re seeing the sector the identical manner? It’s one factor to run routes on air, it’s one other factor to see the sector and go see it from his perspective, my perspective, put these issues collectively and be in the fitting spots on the proper time. As we will get that stuff going, hold constructing on that, that’s when issues get actually harmful.”
Stafford and Kupp are two of the pillars for the Rams and having them again will go a great distance in serving to the group discover its footing once more. The pair is likely one of the finest within the league and so they’ll should play prefer it with a purpose to show L.A’s doubters improper.
