Rapp better be dialled in. At least he is a more natural replacement for Poyer. 

 

I do think it is a chance to bring Elam up. Have Lewis as your backup safety.

Hamlin, more likely. Unless the plan is Lewis at safety exclusively, IMO

Sh*tty

He has looked markedly slower lately, against the incredible speed of the Dolphins may be a good time to rest him.

[HOUSE]

We are doomed

[Coldfronts]

Not the worst news. They're going to be needing young, fast legs at the safety position

[RobbRiddick]

Oh s**t.

 

Well that's my excuse ready for Monday if we get beat down

[Franco_92]

It's not good or anything but I have a feeling Poyer would have had a rough day anyway. 

[stevestojan]

Well, at least it’s a position that doesn’t expose us to their biggest threat…

If he was 4 yrs younger then we put him as a 3rd safety to push the box and tackle the runner downhill, clear the short, and follow the ball.

 

He's getting washed, clearly. But still glad we have him.

Yeah, makes me wonder how aggressive they would be with him vs. the Dolphins

[Logic]

This is bad news.

This is one week where you reallllly want to have your top safeties in place.

Anyone thinking "it's not too big a deal" or "maybe it's a good thing because he's old now", well...I think you're dead wrong.

We only lost one of three games to the Dolphins last year. It happened to be the one where we were missing one of our starting safeties.

Let's hope Taylor Rapp is up to the challenge. Opportunity is, um...rapping at his chamber door? Sorry. I'll see myself out.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

He’s been actually very bad this season. Maybe his knees are the reason. He might have been the worst starting player on defense this year.

 

Hamlin’s opportunity.

 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Honestly this might be a good thing. He looks slow out there. This is a good excuse to see if Rapp can be the full time starter. 

If they do decide to play a 3 deep safety shell it will be interesting to see who they choose to play back there.

Time to Rapp them in the mouth...

Rapp seems to lack football IQ. Give me Hamlin.

[stevestojan]

Guess we find out if keeping Hamlin was a PR move or he is the next best option. 
 

I’m still not ready to forgive Cam Lewis for the Minnesota game. 
 

[The Jokeman]

Time to see if Rapp can be his successor.
