If you guys want anything else or different in this, let me know. Things will be a bit stagnant until other players start coming back from injury.
im always interested to see the CB snap count and the Edge snap count

maybe it was just this game, but they signed Zaven Collins to an extension and he only played 50% of the snaps

Collins is really a 4-3 backer. He's good against the run, good against the pass, but can only get a sack as a free rusher.

He's a good player miscast as an edge.

I agree with this and I think with where this roster is, Collins is fine as a rotational guy. It can be tough to ignore his draft position at times on gameday tho.

Sunk cost.

He's just not a fit as a 3-4 backer and we've already seen he's not an ILB either.

One of the biggest issues with Keim as a personnel guy, making projections on player fit that was dicey at best.

Here's Collin tracking Tyreek on the post.

He's not a great pass rusher but not many can do this.

His run stopping and coverage have both been good, pass rush not so much. He's a good Edge to have I you have a good situational pass rusher to sub out, but we don't.

its great off the ball LB work there

when they extended him + Darius Robinson pick -- i thought they were moving to a 4-3 with Mack Wilson as the Will and Zaven as the SAM

honestly, im not really sure what they run can be fit neatly into either 3-4 or 4-3

Ugh, that D line is awful. Not sure how we won.

How bad would we be if Conner got injured?
It would be terrible.

On that note though I would like to see Benson and Demercado more.

Benson should be finding his legs now that he has adjusted to the speed of the game.
