On offense

1 - Zay Jones played 52% of snaps which I didn't realize because he didn't seem to do much.
2 - Beach played 36% of snaps which I did notice because he is not good in the TE role.
3 - 40% Higgins was and interesting adjustment.
4 - 72% MHJ also interesting.
5 - Knight paced the RB room at 57% but Demercado was right after him at 40%.

Looks like Burch got put into the dog house

On defense

1 - Walter Nolen with a BIG 55% snap share. He was just behind CC at 57%,
2 - Lots of Sweat and Browning which I believe was because of the lead. Browning played 60%.
3 - DRob played a season low 36%. He was DL 4 behind CC, Nolen and Tomlinson.
4 - Stills and Mustipher went away pretty much. More of a EDGE heavy usage this week.

Burch played 39%. He is EDGE 4, clearly. His role fluctuates with Browning based on run defense needs.

Why did DTD get so few snaps?

 

[Chopper0080]

We saw it a little this week but I think you will see more of DRob playing more outside with the return of Nolen. He has to get better disengaging from blockers, and tends to get swallowed up inside.

Why did DTD get so few snaps?

A lot less 3 S looks with Williams back. They had a S covering the slot role with GWill out.

 

[Chopper0080]

If all healthy, my guess is you would see almost 80%+ snaps from Will, GW, and Melton along with the two Ss. Especially when leading they love the nickel packages.

In theory, Drob should do better as a powerful edge... His college tape was basically bull rush, which doesn't work as well against the stronger interior guys.

A fleet flooted tackle, not a power run blocking tackle, is exactly who Drob will succeed against until he develops better rush moves.

 

[Chopper0080]

For those concerned about DRob and Burch, just remember that they are young. Burch played DL almost exclusively in college. Playing in space is very new to him. DRob had his most productive year playing more of a 4-3 DE role in college and was raw as a pass rusher. These things take time to develop. Like Zaven Collins, this can take time to develop. (Separate convo if it is smart to use a top 32 pick on a player like that).

I like him better in that role. Brit and I agreed on that when the Cardinals drafted him. That said, he needs to get better quickly to be a player counted on in the offseason.

Thanks for starting this thread, i was just writing up my analysis:

Offense:
1. RB's split 57% Bam Knight, 40% Michael Carter. Sympathy for all of you that got stuck starting Michael Carter in a pinch on their Fantasy teams (like I did)
2. Beachum was in for 36% of snaps, ostensibly in our Jumbo package. The most usage for him in this role to date.

Defense:
1. Garrett Williams jumped right back in for 81% of Snaps. No pitch count here.
2. Denzel Burke also was in for 58% of plays, biggest snap count since week 4.
3. Max Melton, who had been playing almost every snap, saw his usage drip to only 39% - (EDIT: Doh... went out for Concussion protocol)
4. Calais was used more in this game than any other. Seemed to hold up just fine at the end to me.
5. Walter Nolan at 55% is up there with the highest usage of any of our D-Lineman has seen this season. No pitch-count here either.
6. Mack Wilson went out for injury and only played 75% of Defensive snaps. Those are the first plays he's missed this season. If he is out for an extended time, this may hurt.
7. It looks like Cody Simon picked up the slack for Mack Wilson. I'll defer to those that watch tape as to his effectiveness, but he was only on the field for 3 plays this season, prior to 20 snaps on Monday night.
8. Was Demerson injured last night? He was only on the field for 8 snaps after playing nearly 50% of plays all season.

Even though he has faded lately, Burch at least showed more the first two weeks of the season than DRob has his career so far.

3 - 40% Higgins was and interesting adjustment.
4 - 72% MHJ also interesting.

3 - Higgins last three games were at 45%, 42% and 40%, so somewhat consistent of late.
4 - MHJ isn't that far off the 86% usage against the packers, but given his effectiveness last night, it is interesting that he wasn't on the field quite as much as I'd have expected. It was his lowest snap count excluding the concussion game against Indy.

Melton left the game with a concussion. Burke got the reps.

Agreed. The best hope is that DRob, like Zaven Collins who I keep comparing him to, is a worker who will continue to get better even if it never matches up with the draft equity used on him. Not ideal but also not the worst. The 2024 draft class (league in general) is not looking like a great group.

Melton went out with a concussion per the game thread so that's why Burke took over

Thanks. I don't remember seeing that.

 

[Totally_Red]

I think they prefer Wilson in some run packages as a better blocker than MHJ. Same with Higgins over Trey.

Everybody eats, but their diets are different

Bam only had 9 carries. Demercado 14 carries.

 

[football karma]

I feel like Higgins can be a really effective contributor--

I would spend the entire day in 12 personnel and under center vs SEA

 

[Russ Smith]

Bam only had 9 carries. Demercado 14 carries.

Yeah I think that was another element of Brissett that they started the game stacking the box against the run so we threw. WHen they started to bring the safeties back out of the box, Jacoby was audibling to runs. DeMercado was in because he's the better receiver and blocker, so he got the runs and did quite well.

Dallas is a terrible defense can't take too much from it but that was the best run game offense we had all year, we caught them several times thinking pass and nearly popped a long run

 

[BirdGangThing]

zero has been incredible

If his cap is ZC, that is not good.
