Super happy the Rams are Super Bowl champs and Reeder played fairly well and Jones made some good plays...but can't seem to find any stories as to why I never saw Howard in the game even though he wasn't inactive?

He wasn't? Man, I must've missed that. I guess now that you mention it, I never saw his name.

Pretty sure I saw him covering kicks, but didn't get in the game much. Jones is definitely superior so I can see why. Reeder is in there on run downs.

I think Rapp took some of his snaps. Seen him in the box a lot.

Hybrid weakside ILB/Strong Safety Travin Howard is a defensive playmaker!
Travin Howard should never leave the field to give way to Safety Taylor Rapp or MLB Troy Reeder for any reason unless he needs a rest.

Rapp got those snaps.
2LB sets were Reeder & Jones on run downs. Rapp in for the rest, unless I’m mistaken.
I’m still laughing at the narrative some we’re selling that Morris was pushing to keep Rapp off the active roster for the playoffs.

Rapp actually had a decent game. But I still feel we need an upgrade at his position. Whatever position that is. Lol. I had high hopes for him but I think Howard takes over his spot next year or possibly Scott. That kid can lay the wood

I was disappointed that we didn't use Howard since he looked so good in the previous games but you can't argue with the results. Morris and the D saved the day when the offense couldn't do anything.

I like Howard a lot.
But Rapp seems just fine in that low safety/lb spot. Keep Scott & Fuller high.

Like I said I can't argue with the results, the D was outstanding

.
rapp should always be on the field if he's playing close to the line of scrimmage. he excels there.
howard's time will come.
jones is the man.
burgess is a strange situation. he didn't screw up at all when he had to start. morris must just like the other players better.

Would love if we could get someone like Jones or Logan Wilson (another 3rd rounder) in the upcoming draft. Murray would be back to Baseball by seasons end

I think they need to go Corner and OL with first picks.. but what do I know.

I don't think CB is that big of a need. I'd draft one for sure, but I'd expect that CB to be depth behind Ramsey, Rochell, and Long. As for OL, it depends on what we do with our FAs.

I think cornerback depth is a big need, especially if they lose Darius. I've seen enough of Deayon. Long finally started playing better. I don't understand what took him so long. Maybe he needed Weddle's presence on the field and at practice to guide him. He looked much different in the playoffs.
I also think the Rams safeties could be upgraded. Rapp, Scott, and Fuller are okay but there isn't a standout in the group. Plus two are in their third year and free agents in 2023 offseason, along with Gaines. Wouldn't it be good to get some replacements on the roster to start grooming?

I feel the same way about the corners.. but understand where @jrry32 is coming from on it. If Long's growth is real.. we should expect Rochell to step up. But that's not enough for my comfort.. I'd draft one in the 3rd or 4th and another in the 6th or 7th.
I don't see them drafting a safety.. they've got 4 coming back.. but.. again.. what do I know.
I think drafting a tackle in the 3rd or 4th makes a ton of sense.
Other than that.. if there's a QB they feel good about taking a flyer on.. why not? A pure blocking TE? A RB? Another ILB? And you can never have too many edge rushers.
One thing that came out of the Super Bowl.. Tutu is relevant in the 22 season.. Tutu in 2-2... lol... but, it's true.
