Am I only one who remembers how awful Weddle was in the 2019 season?
I was just going to say that he wasn’t any good 3 years ago. What could he possibly contribute now ?

You all are such Debbie Downers it must suk to be a fan like you, I choose to beleive this was a move for depth bringing in a quality guy who is very bright, and if nothing else can help the younger guys....

This means they think signing someone of the street is better than trusting Nick Scott and Rapp for the postseason run lol.

The last 9ers TD drive was all they needed to see. That deep pass to Deebo where Nick Scott completely whiffed, and the miscommunication between Rapp and Scott resulting in a wide open TD pass in the middle of the field.
We are starting to see cracks in the Cap managing, draft formula theory. Depth and even starters at Safety are not adequate.

Doggone it does this mean that Tutu ain't coming back and Weddle is taking his roster spot?

Den I don't think they have one guy back there on the depth chart who can...

1. Call the defense.
2. Serve as a lynchpin on the back end.

Weddle was shitty in space before his retirement so I don't think he moves the bar on #2. But he should be able to call the defense so that guys like Ramsey don't have to do it. Ramsey just needs to focus on erasing one threat per snap. Just do that well 5.

I think this signing demonstrates everything went to shit in that secondary the moment 4 went out of the game. It was a leadership void.
We already have someone to call the defense. Raheem Morris. We might as well put his ass out there in center field if we just gonna throw shit on the wall.

You joke but it's probably about the same effect.

Our hope at this point is a great pass rush showing up each game. And from there I hope Weddle studies hard and at least ensures the comms are good back there. Rams have had issues all year long with the comms.

And it'll be funny to see what Morris does when Weddle changes the calls on him. I still suspect he was doing that shit to Wade lol.

I think what we are seeing is the wear and tear and freak injuries of a longer season. If they are healthy we aren’t discussing any of this.

One thing is for sure, our offense/special teams will need to play near mistake free ball and not give free points to the other team. Defense can't be put into bad situations anymore and expect them to hold.

I'm sure this is purely for depth. He knows the system in case of emergency. Lets not overreact fellas

Well if we get Rapp back it's not like that is going to help. If it's him and Scott back there that's one fugly pairing. So I don't think this is depth, I think it's about the green dot and trying to at least ensure everyone on the back end is on the same page.
