He said that was one of the reasons Ramsey did not bring the haul people thought he would, he basically decides when he wants to play in and out of scheme.
That does not surprise me remember he did the same thing at Florida State playing safety.

Great info; thanks! Inside scouting is a benefit of having fans all over the world.

The hope is that as a converted RB, he still has room to grow/learn as a S.

Bottom line for me, I don't give a rat's about anyone' PFF scores, or what they did elsewhere. Lou knows what he wants, and who will fit in what he wants to do. He's proven it. Chido was no ball of fire at Dallas, but he got here in Lou's system and became a top corner. Same with Apple. Look at how far CTB came. Lou will pick who he wants, and it will be someone athletic, who has the smarts and the willingness and discipline to play within a system, and we will be fine. Book it.

He played 97% of the rams snaps.
Would probably be a starter here as well

It's great to have coaches that know what they want and know how to evaluate talent and it gives me hope that we'll win a few rings because we have Burrow and Chase.
It gets me pumped up that we're at least trying to be proactive in free agency, while also working on Burrow's contract!
Losing Bell and Bates hurts but this helps ease the blow and opens up the draft a bit.

Thanks, never heard of Scott before this so need some inside info. Still want Julian Love the most of all the Safeties now besides CGJ.
Like his teammate Rapp as well...
But I will trust whatever Lou decides. If Nick Scott fits his system better than the other guy's so be it, sounds more athletic than Bell.

Reports are out that Bengals are coming to a multi-year deal with Scott.....
The #Bengals and former #Rams safety Nick Scott are expected to finalize a multi-year deal,
@PFF_Brad
reports. Scott was in the building today and is coming off a season in which he started 16 games for the Rams. Cincy lost safeties Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell in recent days.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

54.2 PFF for Scott. Underwhelmed.

Not better. Maybe faster. But Rapp is way better.

With bad safeties, our CB performance will decline.

Negative. PFF has no clue on coverage. Fun fact if you ever talk to someone who has seen how they actually grade you’d probably ask for a refund on the entire service.

Would love to get both Scott and Rapp. Like another poster said, Michael Thomas is getting a little long in the tooth.
Scott is an ascending player moving from RB to Safety who loves contact. Rapp knows where to be on the field, both are smart.
That is what we lost with Vonn Bell, smarts.
