Inside The Breakfast Club with the Rams’ Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp

All three are in the room together, and Wentz tells Kupp “he might be the only wide receiver in the NFL that comes in at 6 a.m. and watches film with the QBs,” or at least the first wide receiver he’s been around that does so.

“Much to the chagrin of Matthew Stafford,” Kupp jokes.

They discuss wide receiver Demarcus Robinson’s touchdown catch against the Commanders, then Vice President of Sports Medicine and Performance Reggie Scott stops in to provide injury updates on some of their offensive teammates.

After that update, they dive into what they’re seeing from the Saints defense. Kupp at one point asks what Stafford is seeing on a particular Lions play from 2016 that Stafford has up. This is a very conversational, back-and-forth discussion, and it also shows that it’s not always Rams film that they watch in these meetings – remember Stafford’s recall ability discussed in the documentary.

Stafford knows that whatever comes out of their breakfast club meetings will be said the right way to the rest of the offense because of how smart Kupp is and the way he communicates.

Stafford tells Kupp he needs to tell the wide receivers to be ready to make big plays downfield, seeing opportunities for them. Sure enough, Stafford on Thursday night will torch the Saints with deep completions of 41, 32 28 and 16 yards.

While that came to life that week, Stafford says that sometimes ideas and tactics they discuss also sometimes emerge later on in the season.

“There’s moments and sometimes it doesn’t show up for a week, it shows up two weeks later,” Stafford said. “It’s something we’ve talked about, being able to build that trust, right, the more you communicate, the more you understand each other and you build the trust to either pass that trust on to somebody else and say, ‘Hey, let’s make sure we get this guy doing it a certain way,’ or it’s tangible and ‘Hey, we get this look, I want you to do this. And this is what it will look like when it shows up,’ and it does and it helps our team win. So that’s the goal, right? Our goal is to do whatever we can to try and solve any issue or think about anything that might come up that we need to figure out, and go out there and get it done.”

If there’s one story that best illustrates the impact, it’s this one told by Kupp to theRams.com.

According to Kupp, two years ago, he and…
