The Indianapolis Colts will need to stop the breakout wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams if they hope to get the victory.
, have a short week to prepare for Sunday’s showdown. Sean McVay and the Rams’ passing game schematically is one of the best systems in the NFL, led by Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford..
With all those things being said, the person who has really been the driving force behind this offense is the rookie wide receiver from BYU, Puka Nacua. Once I traveled to Mobile to see him in person, he had a little more juice to him, but nothing to make me move off my Day 3 stance. Once the Rams drafted Nacua, I thought that could be a good place for him simply because a coach like McVay could get the most out of him. The Rams’ scheme requires a guy like Nacua, who’s willing to line up in the slot and do the dirty work. Rams wide receivers in that role are almost treated like a TE with what they are asked to do.
Puka has excellent hands and is a sneaky good athlete who makes a lot of plays you might not expect him to. McVay does a great job of scheming up looks for him when defenses play man, and when defenses are in zone, Nacua has a great feel for finding soft spots and settling in.
