AI GeneratedThe Denver Broncos have signed veteran safety Taylor Rapp to bolster their secondary. While not expected to be an immediate starter, Rapp provides critical depth and high-level experience to a safety room that was previously considered shallow, serving as a reliable \"safety net\" for the team's primary starters.
Major signing by the Broncos this is huge and not huge in the way that like
Oh, he's gonna be a starter, but he's I mean in the next best thing of a starter
He is a prime candidate to be a backup to two great
Fantastic safeties and it is in a room of safeties that was, you know shallow to say the least
I've said that about a few position groups, but there's not many of them when it comes to the Broncos
I'm Sebastian the Broncos digest. Welcome back everybody a bit of a quick update on just kind of what's going on
In the Broncos world because a bit of an unexpected signing. I'm being completely honest
I mean, we knew that there were safety competition going on for the backup safety role
But we didn't realize that like they were going to be like seeking outside help and I think this is a great
Signing and we're gonna be breaking down why make sure to subscribe
we are aiming for 3,000 subscribers by the time that we get to
Broncos versus Chiefs Monday Night Football and I am planning to do a live stream of the game of Broncos
Packers tomorrow night. So keep on the lookout for that
But with that being said, let's just jump into the rest of this video
So first things first Taylor Rapp, he used to be a Bills and Rams former safety has been signed by the Broncos
He was described here in the tweet by Henry Chisholm that Rapp has a ton of starting experience and is only
28 years old looks like the Broncos have their third safety and he was just not a name that I had on my radar and
Which is really strange because I'm usually I just you know
I figured that we were like kind of had our guys set and unless like things people got hurt
But like this is just a really really strong pickup for a guy, you know
Who had has a good amount of starting experience and all of a sudden?
We're like looking the guy who's just like you has a good amount of games and stats underneath his belt
Zack Stephens said that Rapp has started 72 games in the NFL has 12 picks 31 passes defended
11 tackles for loss and
488 career tackles experience added to the Broncos secondary, which I mean, that's very strong
experience
James Palmer here says a Taylor Rapp sign with the Broncos today
It makes sense from a team that is when where Denver is roster wise
Especially on the defensive side of the ball Rapp has always been known as a smart tough player
Fits what BJ or Vance Joseph our defensive coordinator has on that side of the ball
Why not see if you can add depth and see if a player
Like Rapp can push the entire group smart teams make smart moves. I you know couldn't agree more
It is just purely pushing this team into the next stratosphere is going to look like a brilliant move down the road
This is the type of move that you that adds depth
But like it's gonna look really smart when I like one of the two starting safeties
Needs it like, you know to come out out for some plays
Maybe a game or two like they need a backup safety to come in
Rapp is gonna be easily a guy who's not only starting caliber
But you know is just gonna be a really really great reserve piece for us
Mile high reports that if the Broncos keep five safeties on the roster
It seems like it will be who Fonga Jones Rapp Dave on key and scale Skinner
I don't think Tyson Anderson has shown enough and rookie miles Scott is probably headed to the practice squad
He was a 7th rounder after all so that is kind of what it is looking like
But you know this, you know
You know someone I like this tweet a lot from the bow next season an account. They said that I'm stoked
I've said it multiple times here since you know reporting of him meeting with the Broncos
He is a smart and instinctive football player van shows who will get the best out of him
This is like Wade Phillips having Darian Stewart till I rap lays the wood kind of like, you know creates contact
And I just I love that comparison of Darian Stewart with Wade Phillips when like that was like our main defensive like, you know identity
and Stewart was just such a
Great safety net for like for this Broncos for the Broncos back then and he made some great plays
Particularly the one that stands out was that game-saving pick against the Ravens in week one of the 2015 Super Bowl season
So, you know, but there's you know, it's it's just you know, the Broncos they've officially announced it
it was they were very quick to get on top of that and
You know just everyone it seems really really overall excited about this. It's just I I think that and
And deservingly so I mean rap rap deserves all that all this praise and you know having 72 starts
That's just doesn't see that he's 28, too
It's not like he's he's still you know
Like in his prime per se Scotty Payne from Alhambra board said that jail Skinner looked to have a good showing in the preseason opener
But could be on the outside looking in Tyson Anderson was signed as a special teams ace
But has shown and but has he shown enough to make the 53-man roster?
Then you have seventh-round rookie Myles Scott who could be headed to the practice squad
We will see how it shakes out and which of these players stand out during the Broncos second preseason game tomorrow night versus the Packers
So that is now kind of our homework per se as fans is when we're watching the game
We you know, I don't think rap is gonna play that soon
he's probably gonna have the game off tomorrow, but
Finding out which of the other safeties who are competing for a spot
You know
It became that much harder and they probably saw like just in tape and practice tape and preseason game tape
They're like listen
We are not as as experienced as we need to be when it comes to like if anyone on our starting
You know us two safeties go down between who Fonga and Jones
We need a safety net and and you know, this is rapid. This is a brilliant move
I think that I mean a lot of people are saying that like down the line and I already
mentioned this before that down the line people are gonna look back to this move as one of the moves that possibly like
I'd help this win a Super Bowl. I I just this is such a winning team move because a lot of teams are
scared of
investing in a season but like
they assume it means taking big swings for big players like the Rams do and
While we still get big names like we traded for Jalen Waddle, you know, but it's not necessarily the same as
like
Assuming you have to do big moves in order to have big impact. That's not exactly the equivalent
Sometimes big names don't work out
Dre Greenlaw came to Denver last year and did not nearly do nearly enough that we needed him to
Even though I mean we probably were to go to the Super Bowl with him on the team if Bo was still healthy
But that you know that
disregarded the the help that they provide the name isn't just enough you have to be able to actually back it up with your experience and
The juice that you bring he is a guy that you know
He's been in big playoff moments and games rap is no stranger to that and I think that you know
With him being on the Rams and then the bills and now the Broncos he seeks out winners. He seeks out good
Competition good organizations and I think that you know
This was a mutual decision between these two teams that they realized this is this is gonna work out like, you know
I you're probably going to put I mean, I've seen a few people panic
But oh does this mean that like Jones or Fonga is like hurt or something and we don't know about it
I wouldn't go that far to say I think they are just getting their safety net right now
You know, why not when the guys are free agent and you're in the middle of preseason
You're you know, we're closing in on the start of the regular season. So it just things to consider
I think that the the Broncos are just making smart moves while they still can before you know, it's
You know too late and someone else snags and maybe the bills are gonna snag it back up or you know
Maybe the Chiefs get like maybe we just did it just to stop a division rival from getting him
I don't really care one way or the other as long as we you know
Are making winning moves and not spending overspending with whether it's trade salary cap
I still think that we're primed to go and get a big name by the trade deadline if things work out if we're winning
Enough games in that for it. I mean listen, like we said that first month and a half of the season is a gauntlet
So it's gonna be war and we gotta get ready
Enjoy this, you know the calm peace waters right now because it's not always gonna be this way
But anyway, what do you guys think about the Taylor wrap signing? Are you as excited as I am?
Do you think this is a winning move or do you just kind of see it as like a whatever thing?
