He’s made plenty of big plays this season, and Rapoport notes that he’s received “several” game balls. But Vaccaro’s overaggre sive style has typified a defense that has lacked discipline and given up a ton of long gains.The benching is especially harsh because the have already lost safeties and for the season. They are already thin at the position. There has been a lot of talk about leadership, and the new-school players how things are done with the team. Perhaps there is more to the Vaccaro story, but his on-field play warranted a change. ProFootballFocus ranks Vaccaro 84th out of 86 safeties.The move away from Vaccaro comes on a day where Payton for “review.” Rapoport described the atmosphere as “very tense.” The DeMar DeRozan Jersey team also waived wide receiver on Tuesday.
