FA Safety Taylor Rapp to Visit Patriots

Not shabby if were interested in tackles for a DB.

Probably the hardest stat to put value on is tackles.
Is a DL making tackles because he is blowing up plays or because he is the weak link and they are running at him all day.
It’s even harder with a DB because if you are allowing a bunch of completed passes to make a high tackle total that’s a bad thing not a good thing.

Someone should track tackles on pass plays vs run plays.

Not the same thing.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

If it stops Bill from drafting a safety with #14 I'm all for it.

 

[TomPatriot]

Is he more of a ss or fs?

Both. He played a lot of two high, though.

 

[Hyped]

Does he have a good REP? Can he RAP? Will he develop good RAPPort with teammates?

 

[Sicilian]

Both. He played a lot of two high, though.

Which honestly might be more of what the Pats move to post-McCourty. Having a guy with Devin's speed and range allows you to play more single-high man. Unless someone else steps up into that role, you probably want to halve the deep field your safeties have to cover more often.

 

[captain stone]

Maybe they're high on Bledsoe?

Or just high, if that's the case.

 

[Joey007]

I almost forgot players still took visits in this modern day.

 

[captain stone]

Dugger
Phillips
Peppers
Rapp

...all the same player with Dugger being the most versatile and athletic.

Yep... Don't need him, don"t want him.

Chauncey the Gardener Johnson, on the other hand...

Better go look up Brian Branch.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yep... Don't need him, don"t want him.

Chauncey the Gardener Johnson, on the other hand...

Thats who we really need.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Yup. Rupp is to slow to play single high safety, Myles Bryant slow. Gardner-Johnson and Murphy-Bunting are still my hopes.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Rather have a left tackle. Stop screwing around with Reiff and Brown and get a long term answer

Besides the above, I also like Julian Love (NYG) as a decent Plan B if CJGJ signs elsewhere... Turns only 25 on the 19th...

 

[Patsgofor4]

Neither Branch nor Love are made to play deep/single high safety. Branch won’t last until 47 and he would be an absolute waste of a first round pick, in my opinion.

As at least one other person has mentioned, we have no idea what Bill has planned in terms of coverage next year. Who is to say that he is going to try to re-create McCourty? It’s hilarious to me some here contend that we shouldn’t sign Rupp because he doesn’t have the same speed in skill set that McCourty has. You don’t think that Bill knows this?

I thought I saw Love was going back to the Giants but I could be mis-remembering.

The was a report prior to the start of legal tampering that they were working towards a new contract, but it didn’t happen.

Julian Love, Devin Bush visit Seahawks today

 

[Patsgofor4]

FFS, they let another one leave town without a deal. Either they aren’t very excited about the players that they hosted today or Bill is bargain shopping again.
