Forge Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The bills don't play the niners, Rapp should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Well that’s interesting! With McDermott calling the defense this year maybe we’ll see some big nickel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Wasn’t Rapp good? A bit surprised he’s still available for a reasonable amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the two Safeties the Rams lost this year he definitely was the worse of the two. He's a JAG that looked better cause the Rams defense was stacked on their SB run imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a lot of hype his first year or his first year as a starter or whatever. But I never quite saw it because Shanny picked on him relentlessly it felt like. I've seen him blow multiple huge coverages against the 49ers and it kind of soured my opinion on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Not bad as Damar Hamlin insurance, hopefully he's not playing TOO much but with Poyer and Hyde's ages and injury histories, needed more starting depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the right role, he's a solid player. Needs to stay in the box. Great agility, very good tackler (especially in space), and has some versatility in coverage. If you take him out of the box, he starts to become a liability. Completely inept as a center-fielder and pretty meh as a split safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Lol the worst safety we had the last 5-7 years. Good luck to him, he was unreal as a rookie. Regressed in coverage the last 3 years. Sure tackler and smart. Limited physically. Maybe he goes from being our worst to best as our best tuners to worst. Has a ton of experience and has a high IQ. Struggled with coverage a lot here though, could have been due to Jalen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some bright moments but was largely used out of position at least in us fans opinions. He's more a box safety and was rarely used that way. The bad tape far outweighs the good but I think that was to misuse. The Bills do love them some former Rams though don't they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder if Buffalo uses him in special packages where he can stay in the box and as a the first depth piece behind Hyde. Good signing, regardless. Beane seems hell-a-bent on keeping the 3rd round compensatory pick in 2024, so I'm assuming this is a cheap deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Rapp was a stud in college as both a coverage player & a tackler. I haven't really watched him with the Rams, but when he was in college, they kept his assignments extremely simple. On most snaps, he was either a pure FS or a pure roll-down nickel LB. He was great in both roles. Surprisingly great in coverage as a college player given his build and athletic traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
