Hill not looking good. Safeties we passed on?

Hill owes a big kickback payoff to Marinelli for getting him drafted 7 rounds too early and Marinelli owes Jerry back every dime he’s made in Dallas for sucking

Rapp has started the last two games for the Rams. He has played liberally in subpackages all season long.

He has made 44 tackles on the season, which is 43 more than Hill has made all year.

Dumb much?

People like you really are annoying. You ask a question. You don't like the answer, then you get belligerent.

Taylor Rapp has played 58% of defensive snaps for the Rams, He has 43 tackles and 3 passes defended. He has Jeff Heath-like completion rate of 68.8% rate against him ( 22 completions on 32 targets)

Juan Thornhill has played 93% of defensive snaps for the Chiefs. He has 30 tackles, 2 passes defended, and 1 INT. Has a 37.5% completions rate against him (3 completions on 8 targets). His coverage must be amazing since he has played 93% of available snaps and only been targeted 8 fricken times.

Trysten Hill has played in 19% of available defensive snaps for the Cowboys and has 1 tackle.

The issue for me was that Trysten Hill is exactly the player he showed he was in college. Good first step, poor everything else. College teams do not bench NFL caliber 3Techs. They play him and tolerate the issue. Posters here can generate all the excuses in the world and nothing changes the fact that a college team trying to make the playoffs, as undefeated UCF was trying to do in 2018, does not bench an undeniable talent.

Another issue was Juan Thornhill was so clearly the pick. He's a high-SPARQ guy, he has "position flex" (started at CB and S for UVA), and we have been subpar at safety for years. No-brainer pick and his performance so far has proven that.

Okay, let's play Dre.

You brought up that Thornhill and Rapp got it easy because they got on the field.

Tell me about Hill.

Tell me exactly why he couldn't get on the field.

Because he's playing behind better players. Who's playing in front of thornhill in KC as it been noted Rapp has been playing spot duty

Um, have you been living under a rock?

Both Thornhill and Rapp have got their fair share of kudos for their play this year.

Meanwhile, we have fat dumpy dork Hill talking about his one goal in life right now is to not fall asleep during inspirational speeches and Marinelli saying his one job is to make him get his crap in gear.

It is sad. A dumb and lazy high maintenance kid paired with an enabling old man who thinks he can somehow get him in gear.

I think that would be a heck of a sitcom plot.

Thornhill was always my crush. I don't see how you can compare him alongside Hill as a pure prospect and come away with that and decide to take Hill.

But even Rapp would have been better. That is kind of the point.

Either way, I'm sure Rapp and Thornhill aren't falling asleep in team meetings/inactive as 2nd rounders and weren't benched in college for being lazy malcontents.

I am sure this wasn't his fault, or something.
 
Next year is going to be brutal with the hate threads on this guy. Not defending him or the pick but there are going to be so many threads on this in the foreseeable future.
 
Sitting on the bench means a hell of a lot more than being inactive.

Are those safeties inactive? Pretty sure they’re not.

Here is my thing.

If he is active this week and plays, and that is a big if, does he respond?

I hated his reaction to the falling asleep thing. "It is what it is" was a direct quote.

He has a reputation now and it is not just from college. He let Marinelli down, who vouched heavily for him.

He has a choice. Respond or just be what he is.

Rapp has been riding the bench the first 6 weeks. He was a backup until the starter got injured.

He’s played no less than 40% of snaps in each game this year. Hardly riding the bench. He played 98% of defensive snaps in the 6th game.

You might want to check your facts.

We rotate DTs. And he still can’t get on field much. He played 11 and 13% of snaps the last two weeks.
