Would really like to see more Scott and less Rapp.
That's what I was wondering all game... where the hell is Burgess?I think Burgess would be the guy more likely to take over for Rapp, allowing Rapp to play more in the box where he's more suited. For whatever reason Burgess can't get on the field, but he's out there on ST so I'm guessing it's less physical and more mental. Thinking back to last year I feel like he played pretty well, I wouldn't mind more information on whats going on there.
The pieces are there for our secondary to be nearly as special as last year, Rochelle getting more reps and experience will only make him better, and getting someone with more range to take over for Rapp so he can go up and kick the shit out of some TEs or stuff some runs would make our defence better. His limited speed makes it tough for him to cover receivers and quicker running backs, but he's got enough physicality to be an impact player when used correctly.
Notice the trend of what direction of the highly paid DT D'Shawn Robinson is going vs NT Greg Gaines & Mike DT Hoecth. SJ-D seeing more & more DE in place of Robinson thus Gaines the last 3 weeks has increased his playing time in SJ-D post as this season moves on.
He has to be ailing from that last season's very damaging injury or he is in the dog house with DC Morris.That's what I was wondering all game... where the hell is Burgess?
Gave SJD props in the celebration thread.... him and AD along with Gaines just manhandled the Seahawk oline most of the night. Had a very good game. Those three starting with Robinson in rotation would be way to go forward. Robinson had a couple of nice plays towards the end so maybe he'd be better as a closer rotational player who'll be better towards the end of the game if he's not in there full time.Notice the trend of what direction of the highly paid DT D'Shawn Robinson is going vs NT Greg Gaines & Mike DT Hoecth.

I just look at it as them having a really good top-4 DL rotation with different skills/looks for a defense to prepare for. Gaines is just a bowling ball.. fun to watch him push a pocket.Gave SJD props in the celebration thread.... him and AD along with Gaines just manhandled the Seahawk oline most of the night.

Agreed, something is wrong. Whether it's lingering injury issues or having mental mistake issues, it would be nice to know the answer. So promising last year. Fuller seems to have taken a step back from last year also, or maybe being paired with Rapp instead of JJ has caused his game to suffer.He has to be ailing from that last season's very damaging injury or he is in the dog house with DC Morris.
If he is damaged then Morris needs to get Rapp out & replace him move Fuller into Rapps post then begin to utilize a combo of JuJu Hughes & Nick Scott in the Fuller safety post.
If Morris does not like that then give Strong Safety JR Reed a chance & he will take that post over & we will never see Taylor Rapp as our starter again in our secondary.
