We all know the defence is a little less than bad.
What we have also seen is a willingness by Spags to change things up as to who plays and who sits. Many of our past DC's have perhaps had a weaker inclination for such moves.
This was posted at NOLA.com and I thought some of the reps were very interesting.
I have no fear that he will find the best players from our roster to fill the starting spots.
Player evaluation for FA's and draftees is a different thread.

DEFENSE (69 snaps)

R Harper SS 69

M Jenkins FS 69

C Lofton LB 69

P Robinson CB 69

C Jordan DE 69

W Smith DE 65

C White CB 59

J Galette DE 39

I Abdul-Quddus FS 35

J Patrick CB 35

S Shanle LB 34

M Wilson DE 29

J Greer CB 23

S Ellis DT 22 (HAHA)

W Herring LB 21

T Johnson DT 20

A Hicks DT 17

B Bunkley DT 15

I think when Hicks is ready to play the majority of a game he's going to be straight dominant.

He's rough around the edges right now and still killing people at times.

34 snaps for Shanle is still too high. Should be more like 4 or none.

ohhh look at all of those 69s :immature:


quote:

R Harper SS 69

a good bit of this with him used as OLB, which I like.

quote:

J Galette DE 39


This is good, I expect this to go up a little more. The guy has a motor. He actually attempts to use technique (swim moves, spin, dip and rip, etc.)

quote:

I Abdul-Quddus FS 35


Comes with Harper playing some OLB/Rover

quote:

S Shanle LB 34


Heading in the right direction, but I'd like to see this somewhere around 0

quote:

M Wilson DE 29


Finally... and this should increase. Another player showing a motor.

quote:

J Greer CB 23


Only low because of injury. Which is why there was increased reps for White.


quote:

S Ellis DT 22 (HAHA




quote:

A Hicks DT 17


Must increase as well, and I think it will. Would like to see him at close to 30 reps.

quote:

B Bunkley DT 15


Odd, very low. This could very well be the scheme used for this game being that it was predominantly passing. Teams that rely on the run will see more of Bunkley, and he has looked solid this year.

How much did we pay for Bunkley?

I have been saying it since week 2. Martez Wilson and Junior Galette needed to see more time. They got more PT on Sunday night and made plays. With both of them coming off the bench they have fresh legs and provide better pass rush on third downs. Hopefully this is a trend we as the season goes on

He is improving. Alot. I hated his guts for a while, but he started to turn things around at the end of last season. And he continues to get better.

C Jordan DE 69
W Smith DE 65

One's career is just starting on a good note, the other is ending on a sad note.

C Lofton LB 69


Maybe the best player on the D this year. Guy is an animal. Thanks ATL. He makes losing Vilma not hurt.

quote:

C White CB 59

Since I know Spags reads this board constantly and takes our advice: Give someone else these snaps please. Thanks.

quote:

I Abdul-Quddus FS 35

I had no idea this guy has been on the field over 50% of the time. NOt sure if i havent been paying attention or he's literally don nothing to make me notice him.
