Nope. I meant Noteboom. He looks like a back up OLT to me.
If the reverse was true about Noteboom.... where he was a better run blocker than pass blocker then I would agree with you fully.
It's my belief that there are over a dozen pocket passing teams that would start Noteboom today. I also think if Noteboom has lined up & started @ OT for KC that SB would have ended much differently.
I think Rapp was just a casualty of a change of scheme. He's a guy who fits a classic SS role and was on his way to being a real nice player his rookie season in Wade's system. Changing not only to a heavy split safety look but also a scheme that was very diverse on the back end was a lot for him to handle. They might trade him because of that too. Not sure he's what they want back there we'll see here soon on that though.
Taylor Rapp just had a bunch of bad luck & a terrible season altogether. The Staley scheme change from Wade was real bad for his skill set but then he had his first major NFL knee injury in TC when he needed tons of time with the #1 team in practice.....never happened. Rapp's position in the safety cadre has moved down below all the other safeties like Jordan Fuller, JuJu Hughes, JR Reed, Nick Scott & Terrell Burgess.
On top of that, his rehabbing event was slow & It took forever for him to get healthy then to cap the 2020 season off he reinjured that same knee. If DC Morris runs most of the scheme that Staley did then Rapp is a bad fit plus he's coming off an injury-plagued season. Going to be really hard to regroup & get anything in return for him in a trade before the draft. Strong Safeties with
major deficiencies in coverage can be found easily in the loaded NFL WWC lines. Rapp has a 2021 cap hit close to $1.3 million.
I look @ Snead's top 2019 draft selection Rapp as being another Gerald Everett non impact player event
