49ers on Rams: ‘It’s the Cooper Kupp show, like no matter how you try to slice it up’
LA TimesRams receiver Cooper Kupp scores on a jet sweep run as Arizona’s Marco Wilson is unable to stop him. During last Sunday’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Kupp took a handoff from quarterback Matthew Stafford on a misdirection play and ran around the left end 20 yards for his first career rushing touchdown. “I’d like to think I’m a better football player than I was a year before but there’s so much stuff I can a do better job of for this team and that’s my mindset.” With Van Jefferson on injured reserve, the Rams’ receiving corps includes Kupp, new addition Allen Robinson, second-year pro Ben Skowronek, Brandon Powell and second-year pro Tutu Atwell. “It’s the Cooper Kupp show, like no matter how you try to slice it up, whether the guys are doubling, whatever it is, the guy finds a way,” 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans told Bay Area reporters Friday. “The amount of work that he puts into it, the amount of work that he looks at your defense and knows what’s happening, the amount of work that he puts into it with Stafford.” Kupp’s touchdown run against the Cardinals harked to past seasons, when Kupp and former Rams receiver Robert Woods ran jet sweeps.
