Rams Receiver Seeks Redemption on Saturday

The problem is that last Saturday, Mumpfield was unable to put in the performance many had hoped against the Dallas Cowboys. On a deep ball which Mumpfield was able to get behind coverage for, Stetson Bennett overthrew it. On another medium route, Bennett hit an open Mumpfield in the hands, just for him to drop it.

Mumpfield did make an impressive catch, tipping a tipped ball to himself but the fans want more and apparently, so does Mumpfield. Mumpfield this week has been focused, detail-oriented, and excellent, making plays in practice and then becoming one of the few offensive bright spots in the team's joint practice against the Saints.

Looking For More

However, it was during the final plays that Mumpfield impressed.

On the second session, Stetson Bennett came out firing with Konata Mumpfield high-pointing a sideline throw, and despite being several inches in the air with his entire body falling out of bounds, he pulled off his best Antonio Brown impression to maintain possession in bounds.

Bennett went back to Mumpfield with the same route on the following play, and despite being closely covered, Mumpfield made the catch again, which sent the Rams into hysterics. Practice would conclude shortly after.

Mumpfield has been attacking this week with a passion and now that he has his first preseason game under his belt, I believe we are in store of a big time performance come Saturday.

Don't get it twisted, Kellen Moore is getting things done during his short tenure as head coach. While the offense needs some work, the defense was attacking with desire, a desire to not relive last season. The Saints were disciplined, aggressive, instinctive, and made play after play.

Despite all of that, Mumpfield still found ways to find him moments and I'd say, even through he did go up against the twos, Mumpfield had the most impressive overall body of work from the receivers on Thursday.

Never satisfied, Mumpfield looks to make a statement at SoFi.
