I remember this topic coming up last off-season maybe, but how AG uses his safeties isn’t necessarily the typical FS/SS. Please correct me if I am wrong and I don’t know schemes and defenses like that, but from what I recall AG tends to use more of a left and right safety as opposed to a FS/SS.
Essentially as long as you are strong in run support, are a solid tackler and can cover, you’re good and can be either safety. It’s kind of what has happened with Will Harris (I know not a great example) but he played safety, then CB for us and then covered at safety when injuries hit, but he was able to play both positions. So maybe that is one thing they like about Sutton (and Harris for that matter) and what they are looking for moving forward?
Rapp is definitely a SS/hybrid LB type. Pretty much strictly a box safety. He’s solid vs the run and traditionally pretty awful in coverage. This past season was one of his better ones for us. That said he’s nothing to get excited over and the majority of Rams fans couldn’t wait till he was gone.
Wow! that contract tells me our staff couldn’t wait to get him out the door. His coverage skills must be really bad or he was responsible for a lot of the missed communication in the secondary. He was good in run support.
He did have some interesting posts on social media during the season right after we benched him. Nothing like Jamo’s Like heard around the world though. Jamo’s was far far worse. haha
