Scott was getting some burn on defensive plays. Who will rotate into his position with injuries to Rapp and Burgess?
One would suspect that would be the case when compared to the NFL games played by JJ III & even the rookie Jordan Fuller's snaps with the defense. Scott when used has usually been the deep safety when on the field.
When I see the final results of an opponent's completed pass play, often it's that deep safety name & no# is what I am seeking & viewing. But if I get a chance to see the replay ....the actions of the CB can be the root of the completion & deserves partial responsibility too.
In the past that has been the case involving some of my negative thoughts on safety Taylor Rapps coverage skills. I do
not like it when Rapp ends up in that single high safety position when the snap takes place. Rapp is far better closer to the LOS.
J.R. Reed is my first choice, but they seem to like JuJu Hughes.
UDFA FS JuJu Hughes is more of a mix of RS/SS whereas UDFA JR Reed is more SS. Hughes's description is what I would attach to Nick Scott, far more deep safety. I sure did like Reed's performances over the year playing in the SEC. JR Reed has some of Jordan Fuller's skills in him.
Rams are very fortunate that JJ III & Jordan Fuller have the skills to play deep safety without any issues. Staley can move rookie JR Reed up closer to the LOS where it would place his abilities where they can be utilized better.
Hughes has been with the Rams since APR 25 2020. Having been through training camp with the team sure would give him a better chance to get snaps with this defense this Sunday afternoon. Reed came to the Rams after being cut by the Jags after the regular season began SEP 9 2020.
