Two Receiver Artists Adams and Kupp Take

GREEN BAY, Wis. On Nov. 23, 2020, the Los Angeles Rams were playing at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. The Rams won 27-24. Cooper Kupp dominated with 11 catches for 145 yards.Watching at home, Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams took note and fired off a simple, to-the-point tweet.Adams and Kupp will be centerpieces of Sundays pa sing games. Last year, Adams led the NFL in catches, yards and touchdowns on a per-game basis. This year, Kupp is leading the NFL in those categories outright with 85 receptions, 1,141 yards and 10 touchdowns.I think that people were kind of sleeping on him before, Adams said this week. Hopefully, that tweet woke them up a little bit. If not, the year hes having is definitely doing that. Hes a great player, man. His quarterback always has his eyes over there Chicago Bears Home Office looking for him, too. That helps him out a lot. They definitely built up a quick little one-two punch over there. Its fun to watch him. Just like I said with Justin (Jefferson of the Vikings), I hope its not that way against our team but its definitely fun to watch and see him go out there, have fun and make plays.Kupp, who was inactive for last year's play said playing receiver is an art form. In that case, they are Rembrandt and Pica so. Jaylon Johnson Jersey They can win short. They can win deep. They can win with connection to their quarterback.A third-round pick in 2017, Kupp has studied Adams game. Its not just the route-running that sticks out to Kupp. Rather, its how Adams is arguably the best in the busine s and yet continues to improve.Scroll to ContinueHes one of the best doing it right now, . I dont know if you can argue the best doing it right now, but what hes got going on, just the complete game, from you want to come up and challenge him, hes got a great release package. You want to play off, Arlington Hambright Jersey hes still got a secondary release in being able to stick people, being able to put his foot in the ground and separate at the top of routes. If you want to give him space, he can do that, he can run past you. Hes a very physical guy, hes got great body control. He runs down the field and catches the back-shoulders. He kind of does everything and, in that offense, they take advantage of every single thing they can, all of his biggest strengths. Hes a really fun receiver to watch. A lot of stuff that we do, some of the combination concepts, some of the things that we do matches up with some of the stuff Green Bay does and (Matt) LaFleur and that offense, and so its been fun to be able to kind of grab some things from him, some of the tools that he uses, and try to incorporate that a little bit.After catching 11 pa ses vs. Tenne see in Week 9, as the only players in the Super Bowl era to record 1,000-plus receiving yards Brian Johnson Jersey and 10-plus touchdowns through the first nine games of a season. He added 11 more receptions vs. San Francisco before the bye. Hes on a 17-game pace of 145 receptions, 1,940 yards and 17 touchdowns. The records are 149 receptions (New Orleans Michael Thomas in 2019), 1,964 yards (Detroits Calvin Johnson in 2012) and 23 touchdowns (Randy Mo s, 2007).In the Super Bowl era, only three players won the Receiving Triple Crown. Had he not mi sed two-and-a-half games with a hamstring injury last year, Adams might have joined Rice (1990), Sterling Sharpe (1992) and Steve Smith (2005) as the only players Larry Borom Jersey to lead the NFL in receptions, yards and touchdowns in the same season. This year, Kupp leads the NFL in receptions by one (over Tyreek Hill), yards by 147 (over Deebo Samuel) and is tied in touchdowns (with Mike Evans). Hes caught at least seven pa ses for 92 yards in nine of his 10 games.Hes one of those guys, you hear it and its not clich with this kid, he literally is the first person in the building and the last person to leave, said Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry, who spent the 2017 through 2020 seasons alongside Kupp. I can still remember nights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays where its 8 oclock at night and I might walk down to the cafeteria and I see someone in the meeting room and I open the door and Coopers in there watching tape.Hes definitely something to deal with. I really look forward to competing against him.Related Story
