[Chopper0080]

As always, I will post the snap counts first, and then offer some thoughts based on what sticks out to me.

On offense.

1 - A lot of extra OL with Fryar getting 9 snaps. First time we have seen that this season. I think Gaines was in a FB role.

2 - Tip and Zay Jones 50% for both. Kinda fits and puts in perspective how much we use two TEs.

3 - A lot less 3 TEs this year it seems. Higgins got less snaps than Dortch which makes sense because they had to pass more in the 2nd half, but something that stuck out.

4 - Demercado emerges after Conner injury. I am curious to see the break down of usage. Benson was getting 3 down work, but does this mean the Cardinals don't want to do that moving forward?

On defense.

1 - A lot of ADG snaps at 80%. Easily the most this season.

2 - CB2 rotation. Melton paced the CB room with 98% (good for him), but Burke and Clark played 51% and 48% of snaps. Maybe Rallis wanted to give WRs different looks to keep them from getting in a rhythm.

3 - 3 Ss is the new nickel. DTD played 62% snaps and significantly more than the CB2.

4 - Josh Sweat with the lowest EDGE snaps at 42%. Did he get nicked up?

5 - EDGE in general. Burch paced the room at 58% with no other EDGE playing more than 46%. Browning had 46% and Collins 45%.

6 - Robinson and Stills still tops at DL with 57% and 55% respectively. Dalvin had a big role and played well.

7 - Really prioritizing managing CC's snaps. 49% for the best DL on the team. Weird that the two best defensive front players both played under 50% snaps.

Time to skootch that Elijah Jones bust slider a little further to the right. The coaches continue to tell us what they think of Kei’Trel but he can’t even find the field.

Gaines was in at FB on the goal line runs.

Whatever blocking scheme Kyle Shanahan cooked up against us was legit.

E Jones getting zero snaps is telling.

35 pass attempts for 159 yards. Yeesh. Let’s see him for what he is.

His yards per attempt are a problem. But that is for a different thread.

 

[Goodyear Card]

3 completions past 10 yards.

 

[Chopper0080]

3 completions past 10 yards.

9 of 19 on passes further than 5 yards from the LOS.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

9 of 19 on passes further than 5 yards from the LOS.

That's uh... Not good. Year 7 FTW

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

d-rob came thru so huge with that tackle - surprised he was in there but dude got penetration and found the ball

 

[PDXChris]

9 of 19 on passes further than 5 yards from the LOS.

He had a couple of bad throws, plus the drops by Jones to seal the game and MHJ for the TD. Then he started to find his groove down field in the 4th and DP decided to go conservative again until the 3rd down play that Jones dropped. Kyler, WRs and DP all deserve blame here.

6 attempts over 10 yards (insert sighing emoji)

 

[RON_IN_OC]

9 of 19 on passes further than 5 yards from the LOS.

12/19 for 63% if the receivers could catch. Not nearly as dire looking.

His yards per attempt are a problem. But that is for a different thread.

One positive is he's at least spreading the ball around and not just playing to one receiver or one side of the field.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

E Jones getting zero snaps is telling.

Another 3rd rounder up in flames.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Drops drop and moree drops thats my though why they choked as usual...

Im rdy to move on from murray rarly wins big gms..

Leaders put the blame on themselves first. If you are choosing to throw to a WR the caliber of Zay Jones in a critical situation, you can't put it on the back shoulder where the defender has a chance to contest the catch. One player makes 45 mil and the other makes 4 (i think). The disparity is there for a reason.

Zero turnovers. Again.

 

[Chopper0080]

Another 3rd rounder up in flames.

The funny part about that is the players picked between Jones and DTD aren't great either. That draft looks kinda terrible after the first two rounds outside of WRs and RBs.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Zero turnovers. Again.

13 pathetic points.

 

[Stout]

Zero turnovers. Again.

Damn near a safety for no reason.

Yes please consider the effects across the multiverse when determining Kyler’s effectiveness
