Then combine that with him having to move to FS bc of injury, a position he has probably never played....they all deserve respect for that game

Yes. And he has been ok playing the outside corner this season. He shouldn't be playing the slot unless we are desperate for bodies anyway. He may do ok against big slot receivers, but certainly not against an agile speedy stud like Cooper. Terrible matchup for him. If Lenoir was available Lenoir would probably be playing at the slot in that game.

I think he does fine when called upon inside or out. Not shut down by any means but does the job. No one has been able to stop Kupp. Pretty crazy because Kupp is good, really good but agile and speedy don't really stand out.

Folks keep sh1tting on this guy but I've been saying and he just played another pretty good game against Aaron Rodgers with Davante Adams.

Good job dude.

Started out rough but yeah, overall, you gotta give him some love esp. for his toughness.
